In the north the enthu siasm in favour of Plaudit is :tiniest tlllallillloll.

With respeet to Plaudit% performances and ** endo your know it is my opinion tb. y a a good enough to stand upon ; /411 that with Snowdon on his h a ck. :tad the le.eftil Newland to " assist "bin, in the rice, I can only Luther observe that the Derby of Iraq is little more than a question of the son of Plausible eon,- relating tie• lei'. and a half. Middlehain claims a troop numerims entmgh to make a stir, T. Dawson alone having about a dozoi Derby horses, inclusive of the Corporal, the Dean, Mandrake, Blinster Bell, and Tynedale, all birds of motni4e or performance bust season. However, what with the I.),:in's " dickey" legs, :thindrake's refusal to .10 his best row and then, and Corpord's in-and-out doings, they Can get nothing beyond the " dark " Priest in the market, and the recollections of that frightful inipestor Stabber arc too vivid for the public to inter fere with whatever game there might be playing with the son of Romulus. Fobert has a better-looking than performing horse in Bracken, whose ambition may not soar above handicaps, if ho is as good as lie looks ; and Osborne's stable is barren 0f anything worth even naming. Melton, too, can soon he galloped over, .1. Scott coming in for all the attention mowed, unless Skysail—beaten ant of night by all the others iu a field of six nt Stockton—is a second Virago. Mr. Itaines's Mahan was thought to be superior to Lord Exeter's Grand Cress (nominated by Lord Burghley) until he so tlisaTaced himself in the Crite rion, having been previously backed like another West Australian, who singularly enough was most unaccount ably beaten in lii first orjagenient ; but " the West" did not cut such a disgraceful figure at Newmarket as Tara ban, and I ninst confess to not quite understanding the D.Tby pretensions of Mr. Bowes's colt, though the world has evidently not seen what stuff he is really made of. To follow the Gran.l Cross it i- easier to reconcile one's conscience, as the Brother to Knight of the Crescent did heat Friponnier somehow when very backward in preparation—a performance about as good :1.4 D'Extournere at Lewes—and on that account must take a high-clam certificate. No fears exist as to his being stone day disqualified for the Derby, even should he be for the Two Thousand ; and it is le impression the followers of John Scott will find their "books" look very well in. teed on the Derby day, the chance of Grand Cross at 25 to 1 laing quite as good its that of the Rake at II to I. It is not often Lancashire given us a Derby favourite ; hut Mr. Eastwuo,l's mysterious lot, in private training, is located at Clithero, and enough money has conic from some people in Flipped°, Master Butterfly to betray that there is something more than his Kettledrum and Butterfly blood in him. Still, the talk about others in the same inte rest, Lord Hastings and Mussutman—both sous of Little Hastings, as Little Knowu to the public as his sire—has at times been the reverse of flat tering to the Butterfly, who cannot represent me in the north, even as an outsider, whist Grand Cross is ready for battle. Round Lambourne they have nothing better than the uncertain Marksman to build their hopes upon, and he appears to have tired out nearly all his patient friends since he disgraced himself behind Vauban, notwith standing that both his late and his present trainer hold ' the highest opinion of him. Mr. Merry has certainly been rather unfortunate with his Derby cracks since he ran first, second, and third in three consecutive years with Tisorinsuby, Dundee, and Buckstone ; for, though Scottish Chief did save his "situation" in '64, he was done with after Ascot, and for the past two seasons the Moseley winter cracks, Liddington azd Student, went all to pi , ces. But Mr. Merry has at least a sound horse in Marksman, and one that ought to stay, there being many more unlikely things to occur than a boy in yellow doing the trick on the 22nd of next May. There are not many other Derby horses in private training worth looking after, Palmer being about the best of them, and he is more " uncertain " than the yours z Shot, ha l v performed worse every time he as, tried, , after the thing at Ascot, his fourth and final effort was neit her more nor less than wretched. His three defeats, at the same time, occurred within a space of less than a fortnight ; and if :iit Joseph really were venturing to run the young Beadsman in a delicate state of health, he may yet surprise the knowing ones, like his tire did after an unsuccessful two-year-old career. Lord Stanford's Sir Oliver, a son of Stockwell and a Harkaway mare celled Maria, may possibly turn up the best of the untried lot in '67, as Archimedes did in Breadalbane's nar. ; yet it is bard to tell what has been going on at Lavine since the reports were abroad of his being amiss, and as it would never do to trust Arundel for a ' line " when the proper time conies, he nowt do something in public to step out of the outside rank. Mr. Bevill's Usurper, Messrs. Graham and Stevenson 'e Stradbroke, Beanstalk, Stackmar. and Huntsman, and Sir F. Johnstie's Scaven ger and Leading Suit, may now be called in private hands, as their trainers have only two employers each, and to get at what they are doing would puzzle the most cunning horse watcher. Usurper we have seen in public, with Leading Suit also, the pair being of the " 'atomising" sort, though they never got beyond an "0;" but the others are all fearfully dark, and I can only hint that from the blood in the veins of Strailbroke, Beanstalk, and Stock mar, it will be strange if one is not a Tartar. In the same swim there is the promising Huntsman, who may be useful some day in a " trial," though it is pro bable speed will be the forte of a son of Orlando and Lady Blanche. There are many besides those just named Wham performances cannot, for certain, be taken as fair criteria of their real merits, and I should not be surprised to see Lord Bateman's Anchorite, Mr. J. Morris's Ailesbury, Lord Westrisorlend's Timolaus, Lord Allen. bury'' , colt, by Lord of the Isles, out of Splitvote, Mr. A. Taylor's Adam Bede, and Mr. Spencer's colt, by Rattle, out of Chanionnix, recorded as winners next season ; but these are all in public stables that may contain rivals better qualified to take part in the Derby, respectable doers like Sir R. Bulkeley's ()wain Glyndwr (a most improving colt) and Mr. Thellusson's Pirate Chief. being stable companions respectively of Timolaus and the Chamounix colt, whilst to bard safe the other two of A. Taylor's, there is Mr. Payne's Captain Kidd—quite as good looking as the ;lt vote colt, and a much better doer. The Reading performance of this young Buccaneer, when he can tered home before Commissioner, Jeannie Deans, and Mis fortune, was excellent, and I shall retain him to keep in cheek all second or third rate performers like Mr. Brayley's Dick Turpin, Mr. Bats , n s MlA:amour, Sir F. Johu.tone's Freemason (in the Leading Suit division). Mr. Wyndham's Golden Bloom, Mr. R. Herbert', Prodigal, The Irish Prospector, Lord Coventry's Resene, Count Battliyany's Itus in Urbe, and Prince de doltykoffis Serino Witte= - • ... . . . . . It ;ill puzzle John Day to find one better than Captain Kidd in his numerous lot, unless his dark pack are superior to tite exposed card., and it cannot be said that the fol lowing list of the Danehury muc k.. any par ticular favourite, public or otherwise:—The Duke of Reaufort's Vauban and Caucasus, the Marquis of Hastings' Ince and Unitas, Mr. Wilkinson's Fsirteld, and Lord irshri lge's Distal. The three last named are strangers, and have in turn been better favourites than Vauban is now, it having once been generally understood that Unitas was a " clipper." Ines did so well with Wroughton and Vauban at York, and with Moleskin at Newmarket, as to prove herself quite capable of telling the Marquis what this ruse can do, and I like his blood much better than the more favoured Distin's for a long course ; still, there is everything to indicate that the stable are sweetest upon the Duke of Deadfort's colour., his grace's two Muscovites having good look, to boast of, though Vauban is the greater hero of the twain. And he never reached the top of the tree ex cept by accident, the merit of his two greatest victories being considerably detracted from by certain circum stances that must not be overlooked on any account. For instance, up to, and long after, the time he just managed to ei‘e Friponnier 31be., the latter had shown himself to be far more than :fibs. inferior to D'Estouinel, Marks man, liippia, Knight of the Garter, and Grand Cross, directly or indirectly ; and there were fair enmities again for every one that he heat in the Newmarket Troy except Julius, who was never a great doer. A " game 'tin " to the backbone Vauban doubtless always will he, six of his seven victories being accomplished by from a head to a length only ; but it must be doubted that be can stay, after all, and I am afraid J. Day will have to find something a little better than Vauban to win the Derby with. What there really is in the " dark" horses in obscure stables must be always a mysterj, Mr. Cartwright's Thorn apple and Lord Portsmouth's Mild Moor having been put up mid knocked down again by the market operators as though they had nothing but their good pedigrees to boast of, whilst the non.performing foreigners not belonging to Count F. de Lagrange have yet to be seen even by the " touts" in this country, and at present there has been no sign of either the well-bred Biscaien or Ferragus (both Fitz-Gladiators), or Flamhant or Rotterdam.

I in may laat, includes, besides, " four dark " mounseerspi .1 ennings's charge that have all, in turn, been set down as aujw:rior to Dragon— first Cerf Velma, then Enchanteur and Imperator, and now Beauchamp. having that distinguished honour thrust upon them. It is a "distinguished honour," in my opinion, for Dragon is an especial fancy of your obedient, who would not be at all astonished to see the Frenchmen with another Cladiateur this year, and in advance of all their Newmarket rivals, even when they include such a trio as the Bake, d'Estournel, and the Hermit. The triumphs of Plaudit, Grand Cross, and the trio just named, have been of such a decisive character that they must of necessity stand before in-and-out run ners like Marksman and the Palmer, whatever there may be lurking in the pair—who have not such a good excuse for their defeats as the Dragon, well known to be a backward 2-yr-old ; still there can be no question about the Derby being at present a very open race, with so many brilliant performers and fancied " darkiea" for backers to pick from ; end ',ending the Two Thousand Guineas running of Plaudit, the Hermit, Marksman, the Palmer, and novena strangers, there is nothing for it but to make a " plunge" (as I did when selecting Blair Athol alone in my winter article on his Derby) among the outsiders for the moat awkward opponent of the crack, the Rake, of which body commend me to the best of Jennings's lot (whether it be my pet DrAgon, or Enchanteur or Longcliampa, or any thing else, time must show) and Grand Cross.— I sin, kc., METEOR. cabal anis inilitarp.

Timor% FROM INDIA.—The New Era, chartered troop chip, which arrived in the Thames on Saturday, from Madras, with time-expired soldiers and invalid troops and sailors from the regiments and ships in the Madras Presi dency, disembarked her troops at government.quay, Gravesend, this morning. The troop+ included detach ments of nomconunissioned officers and men from the 16th (Queen's) Lancers, 3rd battalion GOth Rides, 102nd Royal Madras Fusiliers, 2nd battalion 24th Regiment, Royal Artillery, Royal Marines, together with a few pensioners and sailors, the whole under the command of Lieutenant A. K. Sesame, Royal Artillery, and in medical charse of Mr. T. Crawdice, civil surgeon. The New Era left Ma dras on the 24th September last, the voyage to the Thames occupying 110 days. During the passage one man of the 3rd battalion 60th Rifles died on board. Nine women and children arrived with the troops, who, after disembarking, were forwarded to their respective depiits. TATTERSALL'S.-MONDAY. What with the scanty attendance and the indisposition to speculate., the afternoon narrowly escaped proving a blank ; and had it not been for sonic two or three com missions, the bookmakers would have bad it all to them *elves, and there would have been nothing but a aeries of offers to quote. As it was, the Two Thousand Guineas turned out a dead letter, the offers against Plaudit, Her mit, and Grand Cross finding no backers, although each of them would have been sapporte4 at a shade of odds over those offered. For t e Derby 700 to 100 was taken about The Rake, in one bet, and there is no question that he continues as firm in the market as any horse could do. A commissioner wanting to baek D'Estournel was offered 10 to 1, which he declined, another speculator at the same moment offering to accept 1000 to 100. The longest odds offered against Plaudit were 10 to 1, and although he was not invested upon for either the event or the Two Thousand Guineas, there wax no hostility manifested against him, but on the other baud an evident determination not to lay any price in excess of that at which he has been backed on previous occasions. In the early part of the day he would have been supported at the clubs at 9 to '1 for " The Guineas," and 11 to 1 for the Derby, the tone of the market thus confirming the information from reliable sources, that the home is going on well, and that the recent symptoms of • demonstration against him were either the effect of a certain line of diplomacy,or hasty conclusions founded ongroundlesa reports. The odds of 14 to 1 were offered against Hermit for the Derby, and at two points more Mr. Chaplin's colt would have found a suppmter, but no blow was struck. Grand Cross was backed at 1000 to 40, and a few smaller transactions were effected at the same rate of odds. Vauban was also entrusted with a "pony" at 40 to 1. The Priest presented the old difficulty to layers and takers, the former refusing to exceed 5.; to and the latter still holding out for their price 1000 to 15. There were offers against some other outsiders which were not responded to, and another dull afternoon came to a premature close. The quotations were as follows: TWO THOUnAND OYINEAS. ♦to 1 apt Major Elwon's Plaudit Cott oto 1 Mr. Out,lin's Hermit „off. t 100 to 15) 13 to 1 Lord Exuter's Grand Cross ,off, tlsto 1) DERRY. 700 to 100 apt Mr. Pryor's The Rake t! 10 to 1 Mr. aarile's IYRatournel !off, t 1050 to 100) 10 to 1 - Plaudit 'off, 14 to 1 Mr. Chaplin's Hermit ;off. tl6to I) 1000 to 40 Lord Itunfhley us Grand Cross t) 1000 to 30 Duke of Newcastle's Julius 'off, 40 to 1 Duke of Beaufort's Vauban ,t, 55 to 1 Mr. A.

Webster, KA., Law Lecturer and late Fellow of Trinity College. THE COLLIERIES EXPLOSION FUND. Yesterday the members of the Mansion-house Committee, for receiving funds for the relief of the relict of the sufferers by the recent fearful and fatal ex plosions in Yorkshire and Staffordshire, met for the des patch of buaineu. The Loan Malang presided, and the following gentlemen were also in attendance :—Mr. R. A. Gray, Mr. George Moore, Mr. J. W. Maxwell, Mr. R. C. L. Bevan, Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Watorlow, Mr. Alderman Finals, Mr. Samuel Morley, Mr. Alderman Cotton, and Mr. Sheriff Lycett. The minutes of the last meeting of the committee were read by Mr. Gibbs, the honorary secretary, and were ordered to be confirmed and it was resolved that for the future the committee should meet on every succeed i ng Monday, at two o'clock. A report was presented from Mr. Ball, the cashier and accountant, from which it appeared that the total amount received by the committee wa519,461/. sa. Id., of which sum 15,0001, remained in the hands of Items. Bevan the bankers of the oommittee,fby whom it was now resolved that of that sum 13,000/Mould be placed at interest at seven days' call. It was further mentioned, that speaking in round num bers the receipts in London were 20,000/. ; in Yorkshire, 10,2901., and in Staffordshire about 5,000/., giving a total of 35,000/. In the course of the sitting of the committee, the Lord Mayor communicated the tenor of • report re ceived from the local committee of the Oaks Colliery Relief Fund at Itarruiley, from which it appeared that the colliery proprietors had paid to the representatives of the raised miners a full week's wages and other gratuities. It also set forth that the great majority of the deceased miners were members of the Miners' Association, a body which had honourably fulfilled their engagements toward the survivors. To the widows whose husbands had been recovered the sum of 8/. each had been paid ; and to those widows whose husbands still remained in the pit the sum of 4/. each had been paid ; whilst each widow has received Is. per week and Ia per week for each child. AU this was from the same source, and in this way the Miners' Association had already expended about 1,61101. upon the sufferers from this calamity. The Lord Mayor added that the communication from the Oak-hill Relief Committee disclosed the following facts relating to the numbers of the sufferers :—women, 156 ; children, 330 ; total, 490; parent' who were supported by their sons, 4 men, 12 women, and one child ; total, 17; orphans, 4 children ; single women, 5 ; children, 3 ; total, N ; families of men burnt, 4 men, 4 women, and 12 children, total, 20 ; and other persons, 2 women and 4 children, total 12. These fi gures gave • total of 60 men, 236 women, and 362 children, total, 658 ; showing that the calamity had been to amuc k greaterextent than at first had been anticipated. And the local committee added that to give efficient relief not less than 75,000/. would be totally requisite, and towards this the local committee held cash 7,9271. Ils. 6d., and they had received promises to the extent of 2,3631. 4s. Bd., giving a total of 10,292/. 16s. 2ah Information had reached the committee from the Staffordshire district that the total sufferers were 195. The report from Barnsley urged that the distribution of the funds would in no way be allowed to interfere with the relief granted by the poor-law guardians, and they invited the London committee to frame a system by which • per manent fund for relief in similar cases would be established. After some discussion it was arranged that the local com mittee should be requested to send up their plans for that object, and with this the committee adjourned. It may be added that during the day a donation (fourth instal. went) was received from the gentlemen of the London Commercial Sale-rooms for 1301., and a donation of 101. 10e. from the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Ex chequer. The following notice was issued from the General Poet.office yesterday, via.:—Extra mails for the Cape of Good Hope will be made up at this office on the morning of the 22nd inst. for conveyance from Southampton by the Union Steamship Company's steamer Cambrian. All letters, &c., intended to be forwarded by this opportunity must be specially addressed, "By packet Cambrian from South ampton," and they will be liable to the usual packet rates I of ppst a g e. NEW FOE NDLAN D MI ERA LS. —Some important discoveries of minerals have been made on the northern and western shores of Newfoundland, chiefly through the enterprising exertions of C. F. Bennett, Esq. About 1,700 tone of superior copper ore have been shipped during the past season from that gentleman's mine at Tilt Cove. But, besides the copper, Mr. Bennett hag discovered valuable deposits of coal and petroleum, and marble quarries of great extent and value. He is now making arrangements to quarry the latter on a large scale next year. Samples of the coal exhibited in St. John's resemble that from the Bras d'Or mines of Cape Breton. The marble is of vari ous colours and qualities, and amongst those is the most valuable kind, white statuary marble, in large quantities, specimens of which, forwarded to England, have been pro nounced by competent judges to be superior in fineness and colour to the beet Carrara.—Halifax Citken. LIFEBOAT SERVICES. Now that the late gales, which have caused such hsvoo among our shipping, have nearly expended themselves, it may be desirable to recapitulate the ser vices rendered to shipwrecked crews by the lifeboats of the National Lifeboat Institution. The Llanelly lifeboat saved 8 men from the brigantine Seraphin, of Dunkirk, and 6 men from the lugger Espoir, of Nantes. The Tynemouth lifeboat rescued 6 men from the brig Emanuel Boucher. The Wicklow lifeboat brought ashore 3 men from the smack Shamrock, of Arklow. The Tramore lifeboat rescued 5 men from the schooner Annuncion, of Nantes. The Cardigan lifeboat saved 3 men from the sloop Oliver Lloyd, of Cardigan ; 3 men from the smack Turtle Dove, of Aberystwith and 4 men from the smack ; Coronation, of Bideford. The Penzance lifeboat saved 6 men from the schooner Salome, of Dartmouth ; 5 men from the schooner Selina Ann, of Swansea ; 6 men from the schooner Heiress ; and 13 men from the ship' John Gray, of Glasgow. The Blakeney lifeboat brought into harbour the sloop Emma, of Portsmouth, and her crew of 3 men. The Ramsgate lifeboat rescued 8 men from the schooner tlizpah, of Brixham ; and 10 men from the Danish barque Aurora Borealis. The Palling lifeboat saved 5 men from the brig Chase, of Shields. the Plymouth lifeboat saved 1 man from the schooner Tearer; the Poole lifeboat took 1 man off the Prussian brig Antores ; the Moelpe lifeboat brought ashore 4 men from the schooner Mary Tatham, of Chester ; the Forth dinllsen lifeboat saved from destruction the smack Cathe rine, of Barmouth, and her crew of 4 men ; the Swansea lifeboat assisted to save the schooner Jeanne d'Arc, of Nantes, and her crew of 5 men; and the Carmarthen Bay lifeboat saved 2 men from the schooner Gerd, of Hull ; making a total of 11l lives saved by the lifeboats during the late gales. It may be mentioned that in nearly every case the poor creatures would have perished in the absence of the ga llan t services of the lifeboats. The lifeboat' of the institution at Looe, Exmouth, Kingstown, Poole, Dungeness, Wahner, Teignmouth, North Deal, Kingssate, and St. Andrews, also put off during the same terrible weather, but, owing to the fury of the storm, in many cases it was impossible to contend with it. The intense cold and the tempest rendered it impossible in some cases to propel the lifeboats against the mountainous waves. However, it is most satisfactory to know that in no single instance has there been a lack of gallant and willing men, who, with their lives in their hands, are ever ready to put off in the lifeboats of the institution. THE LOSS OF THE RICTLIA. A Greenock correspondent writes:—" The steamer Islay, which arrived on Saturday morning at Greenock, brought the first clue to the fate of the screw steamer Sicilia, of Glasgow, which has not been beard of since Friday week, when she left Milford in Wales for Glas gow ; and facts go to show that the Sicilia has foun dered in the same gale, and about the same spot, as the ill-fated steamer Falcon, and that all hands have perished. Captain Kerr reports that, on Wednesday last, some fishermen on the south-west coast of Islay observed a small boat drifting near the shore at the Rune of Islay. They sailed out to her, and found her stove in and full of water, with the dead body of a seaman lying in the bottom. There was nothing on the body to identify it, not even a jacket —a red shirt and pair of blue cloth trouser' being all the dress that covered it. The boat was painted white, with • blue stripe round the outside, but had no name on it. On a careful examination of the oars, however, it was found they were branded with the word Sicilia.' On the same day some other people picked up the figurehead of • vessel, repre senting a female figure, about twenty miles further round on the south-east coast ; and two or three bags of flour were also picked up, and the shore for several miles was strewn with apples. In every particular, these details correspond with the missing steamer and her cargo. The Sicilia was on her passage from Bordeaux to Clyde with a cargo of Hour, fruit, dyestuffs, & c. It is believed that after leaving Milford on Friday, where she took in coal, she had steered direct for the Clyde, and, encountering the severe gale of Sunday morning, had run for the lee of the Cantyre mainland, where she mot the fate that befel the Falcon, either on the west coast of Cantyte,or on the south end of Islay, and that not a soul remains to tell of the sail disaster." THE LOSM OP THE. FALCON. The Glaw i row papers of Saturday publish a portion of a letter received on Friday by a gentleman in Greenock, from Coleraine, and stating that sixteen persons had been saved from the Falcon. The following is an extract from the letter :—" The Belfast boat was late yesterday morning for the mail train here, con sequently I did not get your letter till night— all right. Happening to be at the railway station this morning, I saw a poor girl who was saved from the Falcon. She belongs to Glasgow. She told me she and her cousin, who is drowned, were coming on a visit to Portrush, and that the Falcon came into collision with • foreign vessel before she went ashore at Fair Head, where she went down. The girl thinks there were 30 pas sengers on board, and that about 16 have been saved, so far as her scattered senses could tell. A sailor saved her by tying her, along with himself, to some floating timber. They were nearly frozen to death before they got to a house. This was the most I could get from her during the few minutes she stood on the platform waiting for the Port. rush train, where she has gone to her friends. lgvery one is very kind to her. There was a young man on boan I belonging to this place, who is supposed to be drowned ; but the facts will soon be published." In reference to the above, a Greenock correspondent says :—" From Captain Kerr, of the Islay, it turns out that the story of the girl is a fabrication. On his calling at Portrusb the girl referred to came on board the Islay, and wanted a free passage across to the Clyde, giving the same story. She was ques tioned on the matter, and her whole story turned out an invention to turn • penny and get charity. She was being put ashore, but would not go, and paid down her fare to the mate, and came over in the steamer. The parties in charge of the steamer were only sorry no one of her dupes had made a charge against her, that she might receive the punishment she decreed." FATAL RAILWAY COLLISION.—We learn by tele graph from our Aberdeen correspondent, that • fatal col. on occurred near bluebells Station, on the Scottish North-Eastern Railway, about six o'clock on Sunday morning, between two pilot engines. One engine coming from Aberdeen, with a snow plough attached to it, met another which was going north, and in the darkness they ran into each other. Thomas Cormie, fireman, and Alexander Anderson, foreman platelayer, were kill e d instantaneously. John Guild, pilot, however, saved him self by leaping off, when he perceived his danger, from the engine. John Methven, the driver, bad both legs and one of his arms broken, and his injuries were such that be died soon afterwards. The force of the collision was such that it knocked the tender to pieces, and it was one of the splinter' which struck Anderson and killed him. Cormie, a native of Markinch, leaves • wife and family, who live in Aberdeen. Robert Petrie, the fireman, was also much injured. Dr. Keith left Aberdeen for the scene of the accident in a dogcart. All the injured men were taken to Stonehaven, and were there attended to by Dr. Keith.—Scoiestan. THE WEATHER AND THE PARKS. The frost on Sunday night and yesterday was very severe. During the whole of the night, and up to 9 o'clock yesterday morning, the thermometer outside the Receiving-hones in Hyde-park stood at 13 deg. only, but between the hours of 9 and 12 it had advanced to _oo deg. It again fell in the afternoon, until at 5 o'clock last night it wa. again down to 'a, deg., and was still failim, be tokening another severe night of frost. In the early portion of yesterday morning a thick yellow fog hung .ner the itietropolisAeing extremely dement the East-end. Ry noon, however, the fog had pretty well cleared away, but no portion of the day was so fine and clear as on Sunday. In the Regent's-park about 3,000 persons were on the ice during the day, and a large and fashionable concourse of epectators were present. The members of the Skating Club, both ladies and gentlemen, mustered very strongly. About two o'clock, at which hour there were nearly 2,000 persons on the ice, an alarm was given that some gentle men had fallen in. A rush took place towards the spot from whence the cries for help came, and the consequence was the giving way of the ire in all directions, and no fewer than 21 persons were struggling in the water at one time. The excitement of the spectators was intense, it being known that the water at that spot was very deep. The icemen promptly came to the rescue with their lines, poles, and wicker boats, and several of them, who were provided with cork jackets, at once jump, d into the water. In about five minutes they had 101,000410 i in rescuing the whole of the 21 persons from their perilous position, one only of whom required medical assistance, but it was several minutes before he was restored to con,ciousness. With the • xception of injuries from falls, no other accident of im portance occurred in shispark during the day. On the Long Water and Round Poml in Kensington; gardens the ice was very fine, especially on the former, and fully 5,000 pnsons were on them during the day, including a large number of ladies and gentlemen of the Skating Club, who have two spacious tents erected in the gardens, replete with every convenience and accommo dation. A few immersions cud falls took place, but new of any serious consequence. The Serpentine was entirely frown over, but from the Receiving-house westward the ice was not more than half an inch ii. thickness, and the park keepers and lemma prevented any person from going upon it, although several persons were foolhardy enough to deal'', to do so. At the eastern end, near the Albert-bridge, the ice was tolerably safe, and several hundreds were upon it during the day. About o'clock in the afternoon an elderly gentleman named Mr. James Harrison, of 12, Portsdown terrace, Kilburn, had a narrow escape from drowning. He was skating very rapidly, and the momentum carried him over the rope laid down where the ice became dangenms. In a second be fell through into nine feet of water ; his shouts for help soon brought some of the icemen to the spot, but several minutes elapsed before any effectual aid could be rendered him, and he was at last got out in an exhausted state, and cannel into the Receiving-house, where he was placed in bed, and attended to by Dr. Christian. It was not until a late hour in the evening that he was sufficiently recovered to go home. One of the icemen, named James Taylor, also narrowly escaped drowning while attempting to rescue Mr. Har rison, having fallen through the me into deep . water. In addition' to the above, seven cases of severe Injury from falls were brought into the Receiving-house and attended to. In one of these cases the skate had twisted round the foot of the wearer, and indicted a deep incised wound just above the ankle. The wound was dressed and the injured gentleman went home in • cab, having previously deposited a sum of money in the charitable box of the Humane Society on the premises. It is worthy of re mark that notwithstanding the intense cold. Mr. Williams, of the Receiving-house, reports 111 persons as having bathed in the Serpentine yesterday morning, and that there is not a morning throughout the winter, however cold, but there are from 10 to 17, bathers. On the water in the inclosure of St. James's-park the ice was generally very strong. and many thousands of skaters and sliders were upon it from an early hoar in the morning until dusk. Numerous immersions took place, and some severe injuries (ruin falls occurred, but not one of a fatal character. The shove cases were all taken to the Humane Society's tent, and those requiring it were promptly attended to by Dr. M`Cann. The Humane Society have 37 icemen on duty in the parks during the frost, some of whom are on duty all night, andtheactiveand indefatigablesecretary, Mr. Lamb ton Young, makes a daily round of all the parks, to see that the duty is properly performed. The Battersea and Wictoria-parks waters, as well as the ponds on Hampstead-heath and Clapham-common, and the lakes at the Crystal Palace, were all largely patronised by the lovers of skating. Great masses of ice were yesterday floating up and down with the tide in the river Thames, and the traffic through the bridges, especially at Blaekfriars, was extremely dan gerous. MORE SHIPPING DISASTERS AND LOSS OP LIFE. LIVERPOOL, Mownsy. Additions still continue to be made to the already long and melancholy list of shipping disasters caused by the late heavy storms of wind and snow. The Glantuire, which sailed hence a few days since, is ut Beaumaria damaged ; the Alice Grey is reported to have been abandoned at sea ; the Guildford, bound to Adelaide, is at Cowes, leaky ; the Carmenita, bound from Ma tanzas to the Clyde, is at Vigo. leaky ; the Australasian (as.), hence to New York, was detained two days in Tower Bay, owing to a heavy storm ; the Mary Ann, front Newcastle for Dublin, was totally lost on the 9th Instant off Islay : the crew were saved. A schooner laden with pig iron has been towed into Holyhead ; the name of the vessel and the face o! the crew are unknown. The Enchantress, front Odessa for Falmouth for orders, has foundered off Penzance. The Centel (as.), hence for Cadiz, is ashore near Huelva. The description of the boat washed ashore at St. Agnes answers to that of the steamer Tiger, of this port, which left Bayonne on or shout the 4th instant. The Paolino, front the Clyde for I: rums, could not be the name of the vessel lost off Strangford Pier, as has been supposed. The Paolina only left the tail of the bank on the morning of the 9th. The Harriet, from Bari for the Mersey, was totally wrecked on the 6th inst. 20 miles from Brindisi. 300 casks of oil have been saved. The Scotland, from Frederickstadt for the Thames, is a total wreck near Thisted. Part of her cargo (deals) has been saved. The Huron, from Cardenas for New York, was totally wrecked on the 3rd instant on Long Island. The William Fenwick, which sailed ou Saturday for St. John's, took the Little Bubo bank the 'same day, but got off, and returned Leek to port last night. The fol lowing is the report of Captain Shaw, of the Ann, hence for Gaboon (Africa) :—" A.t noon, Jan. 6th, Old Head of Kinsale bearing N. sV., 35 miles, saw a ship dismsated, and signals of distress flying. Found her to be the King. atop, of Liverpool, for Calcutta, cargo salt, I,MI tons, in a sinking condition, the captain killed by the falling of mast, and several of the crew disabled. The chief mate requests. dme to lay by him for the night, and I agreed to do so. At 4 p.m. the signals of distress were repeated ; again bore down upon her ; mate requested me to take them ou board, which I did, and had them with me from the 6th until the I Ith, when I landed them at Queens town." The barometer here on Sunday at 4 p.m. showed 29.54 ; at midnigat, 211,0 ; and at 4 a.m. today 29.6 d. LIVLRPOOL, MosnLy Evvasc. A telegram received here this evening states that the cargo of Iron with which the ship was laden that went down otf ritrangfonl Pier on the 9th bears the Eglincrion brand. This will no doubt lead to the identity of the ilbfated ship and her unfortunate crew, all of whom have perished. A telegram, dated Alexandria, January 10, states that the ship id:minis of Bute, bound to England with cargo of cotton seed, was totally wrecked outside the harbour of Alexandria. Nothing is said of the crew. SEVERE SNOWSTORM IN SCOTLAND. On the Caledonian line yesterday, the London mail stuck between Laurencekirk and Fonloun, stout 30 miles fro:u Aberdeen. The train is due at Aberdeen at 12.33, but it hod not arrived at six o'clock in the evening, the time at which our telegram was despatched. From Inverness we have a telegram stating that the Highland line was snowed up on Saturday, and that all traffic was consequently interrupted. The mails arrived on Sunday morning. and the line was then clear, but more snow was falling, with the chance of continued drift. At Myth also the storm was very severe. The snow began to fall on Saturday morning, accompanied by a strong wind, and the blinding drift put a stop to all outdoor work, and made the reads iu the district almost impassable. Our Dundee corre spondent writes: . Snow began to fall in Dundee and neigh bourhood early on Saturday morning, and continued heavily almost without intennimion till a late hour at night. There was also keen frost, which set in on the pre vious day, and the consequence was that the snow har dened as it fell, and the streets and roads were soon covered to a depth of several inches. So numb snow has not fallen in so short a time in Dundee for many years put. The trains running into Dundee kept time pretty well, with the exception of those from foremen. by the Highland line. Yesterday the weather was bright and clear. The frost still continued keen." Our Shields cor respondent, writing at ten o'clock on Saturday night,states th at anotherstonn wancionting away from the north-west, and that there was a heavy fall of snow. The weather was intensely cold on the Northumberland coast on Saturday, and the sea was very high. The Aberdeen paddle-steamer the Pharos, and the Dundee steamer the Pleads, had ar rived safe iu the Tyne ; but the Edina, the Leith and New castle steamer, had not arrived, though she was overdue, being reported to be in shelter inside the Ferns ; and the Half and Newcastle steamship Newcastle, which left Hull on Wednesday night, had not reached the Tyne. The schooner Leveret, with a cargo of brandy for Leith from France, has sought the shelter of the Tyne. That river and all the north-eastern ports are crowded with shipping detained through stress of weather.—Scotsman.

EQUITY COURTS.—JAN. 14. (Before the Lords Justices.) RE Boeurrie BANK. This was an appeal from a decision of the Master of the Rolls. Mr. Tho , nton moved in the court below for an order directing the official liquidators in the above matter to vacate, or cause to be vacated, the memorandum or mi nute of lis pende , s registered by them in respect of the petition and winding-up order in the above matter as against him. The Master of the Rolls refused the motion with costs. From that decision Mr. Thornton now ap pealed. Mr. Baggallay, Q.C., Mr. Roxburgh, Q.C., and Mr. Fischer appeared for the appellant ; Mr. Selwyn, Q.C. Mr. Cotton, Q.C., and Mr. Kekewich for the official liquidators. The Lords Justices, in giving judgment, observed, that if the course taken in this matter, and which they under stood had been adopted in other CM*, namely, to register as a li, pendens against each shareholder of a company a petition to wind it up were to prevail, inconveniences of the most oppre.aive description would arise—inconve niences which it is impossible to suppose the legislature ever intended. Their lordships in the cone a of their judgments commented upon the different sections of the acts of parliament that bore upon the question, and came to the conclusion that the registration of the petition as a lin pendens against Mr. Thornton could not be main tained. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.-JAN. 14. Sittings in Banco.—(Before the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Blackburn, Mellor, and Shee.) FRAY r. FOWLES. Miss Fray came into court to-day, and renewed her ap plication —one which she has frequently made before, and has been as often told that by the rules of practice she was out of time—for a rule calling upon the defendant to bring in the roll in this case, or supply her with a oopy of the postea. The Lord Chief Justice—When was judgment en tend up Missyrsy—ln 18(1. The Lord Chief Justice—You are too late. You cannot now set aside a judgment that is six years old. Miss Fray—l am advised that the statute does not run in this case. — The Lot;lChief Justice—The statute has nothing to do with it, hut the practice of the court. We cannot do any of the kind. Mae Fray—Won't you hear me? The Lord Chief Justice—Ceitainly not. We cannot allow the time of the court to be wasted in hearing a state ment relative to an application we cannot entertain. Miss Fray—Am I n r oi to be heard ? The Lord Chief Justice—No, certainly not in en appli cation we cannot entertain. We cannot in your case set aside rules which apply to all suitors in this court. Miss Fray—But I am advised by eminent counsel that it is not so. The Lord Chief Justice—l hear that constantly stated by you, but we are not influenced by statements of that kind. You don't tell us who be is. Miss Fray—No ; it will not exactly do to do thet. As you will not bear me now, I must come another time. The Lord Chief Ju►tice—lie so good as to sit down or withdraw, and not further waste the time of the court. Miss Fisy—l shall persevere in it. M►y I file myaffi davit, because I intend to take it to the House of Lords? The Lord Chief Justice—There is no objection I; your doing it, provided you pay the fees. Miss Fray—l am quite ready and prepared to do that. Although I have received an order allowing me to sue in formA pauperis, I have only had three summonses for which I have not paid. The affidavit was filed, and Bliss Fray packed up her papers and left the court. THE CLAIMANT TO THE THRONI. The man who calls himself James Derbyshire,and claims to be descended from James IL, who appeared on Satur day to assert his right to the throne, again attended to day, and asked their lordship. to Inform him in which court he must prosecute his claim. The Lord Chief Justice said that as their lordships did not sit there to give advice, it was not usual for them to give the information required. Applicant then retired. The court disposed of several eases on the new trial paper. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-JAN. 14. Sittings in Banco. —(Before the Lord Chief Baron and Barons Martin and Pigott) NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE MINING COMPANY T. MACINTYRE. This was an action to recover calls upon shares in a mining company in Staffordshire, in which the defendant pleaded that be had been induced to accept the shares by fraudulent representations. At the trial before the Lord Chief Baron at Guildhall the fury found • verdict for the defendant. Mr. Serjeant Hayes, on behalf of the plaintiffs, now moved for a new trial on the ground that the verdict was against the evidence. The principal rnisrepre•entation relied upon by the defendant was a statement in an extract from the Daily Neter and some other paper. which was transmitted with the prospectus, to the effect that a hrge number of shares had been taken by persons in the neighbourhood of the mine. The Lord Chief Baron—No one could fairly impute fraud to the directors, but the difficulty was that they had allowed their accredited agent to circulate that state ment with the prospectus. Mr. Serjeant Hayes—But it did not form part of the prospectus. Mr. Baron Pigott—lt must, however, be assumed that the directors adopted the statement. Mr. Huddleston said the defendant actually lived on the property, and admitted its great mineral value. The Lord Chief Baron—l own I was rather surprised at the verdict, beesuse the high character of the directors was sustained, and there might be great doubt whether the representation complained of had influenced the defendant in taking the shares. I thought the verdict might fairly have been for the plaintiffs. Under all the circumstances you may have a rule, but it will be at your own peril. LANCLSHIR.E V. CLEGO. This case arose out of the failure of Mown. Overend and Gurney. The action was brought for the purchase of shares in that company, and came on for trial at the last Manchester amine. when it was taken as undefended, and a verdict returned for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. Mr. Holler now moved for a new trial under these cir cumstances. The defendant, who had been engaged in London for a considerable time on important business, left for Manchester on the night previous to the day of trial, arriving there about 3 o'clock in the morning. The court sat at 10 o'clock, and the case stood first in the list of common juries. The defendant reached the court at a quarter after 10, and found that the case had been dis posed of, and he had since paid the damages and costs to avoid an execution. It was an action for the price of shares sold by the plaintiff to the defendant, but before the settling day, and before any transfer of the shares, a petition was presented to the Court of Chancery, and an order made for the winding up of the company. The de fendant contended that under these circumstances he was not liable, as the act of parliament said that after the petition for winding up there should be no transfer of shares without the leave of the court. The learned counsel said that although this point had been rained at chambers, he believed there had been no formal decision upon it. Intimately the court granted a rule nisi to set aside the verdict, and for a return of the money already paid by the defendant, but upon the payment of costa. Rule accordingly. Sittings at Nisi Prins.—(Bdore Mr. Baron Bramwell and Common Juries.) This was the first day of the sittings at nisi prius in tenu. iLLI.IB V. ATLAS AND ANOTPEI.. This case mile out of a church rote dispute in the parish of leleworth. Mr. Prioe,Q.C..and Mr. Crompton were for the plaintiff ; Mr. Orerend, Q.C., and Mr. C . Brown, fur the defendant. A church iate was levied at bleworth, and the plaintiff. who carried on the burliness of • couteactor, was called upon to pay a sum of 12a. Bd. as his share. The collector, Mr. Berry, one of the defendants, received the money from the plaintiff's daughter, but subsequently the county magistrates refused to enforce the rate, and the plaintiff applied to Berry for the return of the 12s. 81., stating, as it was represented, that Mr. Atlee, the other defendant, a churchwarden of bleworth, bad authorised him to demand repayment. Bony accordingly gave back the money, but afterward. ascertaining that Atlee had given no such authority, he preferred • charge against the plaintiff for obtaining money under false pretences. The ease was taken to the Middlesex Sessions, but broke down, and the plaintiff was immediately discharged. The present action was therefore brought for a malicious prosecution, and the defendants pleaded that they had rea s o na bl e an d probable cause for what they had done. The plaintiff said he had incurred an expenditure of more than AO/. in de fending himself against the charge, and he claimed that and further damages for the inconvenience and annoyance to which he had been exposed. . . . . . For the defence, Afte; relied upon the allegation that he merely acted in the faithful discharge of his duty, and had been influenced by no vindictive feelings towards the plaintiff. On the other hand, Berry contended that he had taken no part in the prosecution, nor sanctioned it. The jury found a verdict for the paintiff—d.unages 771.

THE POLICE COURT& MANSION-HOUSE. Aetonio AP Steveng, a wretched-looking lad between 12 and El years of age, was charged on rens•nel before the Lord Mayor for larceny. At the former hearing of the case it appeared that the prisoner, with two other juvenile offenders of the matte age, were observed together among the stalls in Petticor. lane, when the prisoner was seen by Mrs. Moses, the unlit et one of them, to take up a silk handkerchief, wit, which he ran away, accompanied by his two accomplo,. who etfeeted their escape. The prisoner, however, vs.; pursued by the prosecutrui, who, observing that she was close on his heels, threw down the handkerchief, and actually ran unto the arms of police-constable Willime 602, by whom the handkerchief was picked up, and the prisoner conveyed to the policeatation. The prmuncr ws , remanded in order to diswver his father, that the tel might be sent to a reformatory. The father was now in attendance, and stated that be lived in Italdwires-gardens, Gray's-inn.hine, and was itinerant vendor of plaster of l'aras images, in shidt business the prisoner had sometimes mutated him. He (the father) met with an accident by which be fell lame, and hence was incapacitated from pursuing his calling, std during his illness the prisoner fell into the cutimanyef other lads older than himself, by whom he had been 1-1 astray. He (witness) was a Roman catholic, and th e prisoner had been brought up in that faith. It was proved by Pie, the officer in the cave, that the prisoner had before been convicted in this court and in. teamed to three days' imprisonment at Holloway, and to be well birdied, and since that he had been sent to lb.:. loway from the Clerkenwell court for three toontlis for felony. This statement of his ion's delinquencies wy admitted by the father, who wan told by the laird M that 11.., wag about to commit the prisoner to the Hoe, Correction at Holloway for ten day., at the expired which he would be sent to the 3loant Vernon Catholic Reformeory, in the county of Leicester. The Father—My lord, coold you not order the 1 i another flogging? The Lord Mayor—No. It was your duty to have char timed him when he was under your control. If you done so he would probably not be in his present posit, The prisoner was removed, bellowing lustily. MARKET& LONDON WEEKLY DOCK RETCriCs'E.—JAN. 1 9 Tisportd. Deliverd. Pr.
