THE WEATHER AND TILE PARKS. Yesterday much interest was caused by the passing through Oxford-street of a gentleman driving a sleigh. The driver was well wrapped in furs, the sleigh gaily decked with ribbons, and the neck of the fine horsedrawmg it hung with silverbeUs. The rapidity with which the sleigh passed over the snow was in strong contrast with the snail's pace at which cabs drawn by two horses struggled through. The anuthis who throng Oxford-street were evidently delighted with the new vehicle, and followed it in crowds huzzaing lustily. The severity of the frost on Thursday night and yester day morning added materially to the thickness of the coating of ice which on Thursday covered the waters in the various metropolitan parks, and about Line inch and a half wan the average thickness. In the more exposed por tions of the waters, especially on the Serpentine and the east and western ends of the ornamental water in St. Jantes'apark, the ice was very weak and dangerous. At en early hour yesterlay morning large numbers of the lovers of skating and sliding visited the parks,and for some time the sport went on without any accident. As the day advanced, however, and the numbers of people increase d the ice became generally unsafe, and several immersions took place, though without any fatal termination. In the Regent's-park there were about 3,000 persons on the ice at one time, and the members of the Skating Club mustered in great force. The ice on many parts of the Bound Pond was very unsafe, and several of the most venturesome skaters paid the penalty of immersion for their temerity. The banks of the serpentine and the water in Kensing ton-gardens were crowded with fashionable company, and on the latter water there was a large number of skaters, whose skilful evolutions were much admired by the spectators. The Skating Club had erected one of its spacious tents in the gardens, replete Mi ch all the appliances for the enjoyment of the sport, and one of the tents of the Royal Humane Society was placed on the bank. The ice on the Serpentine was very dangerous, as it invariably is for the first few days of a frost, and the police, the park-keepers, and the Humane Society were fully occupied in preventing numbers of fool hardy young men and boys from getting on to it. In many cases where the parties evaded the vigilance of the keepers, they were rewarded with a good ducking. There was a report that a loss of life had taken place in the after noon. but it was not confirmed on inquiry at the receiving house in Hyde-park. At this establishment everyappliance was kept in readiness to succour those suffering from im mersion, or to restore those apparently drowned, and a staff of medical men were in attendance during the day. The enclosure in St. James's-park was thronged with people during the day ; and in the forenoon the ice on the ornamental water was crowded by men and boys. As was to be expected, the immersions were numerous, up wards of 40 persons having fallen in, but owing to the shallowness of the water—not averaging more than three feet in depth, and in no place more than four feet—they were got out without much difficulty. It being known there wai but little if any danger to those who fell in, as each one underwent his cold bath it afforded considerable amusement to the numerous spectators. Between 3 and 4 o'clock a thick and cold fog spread itself ever the parks, which had the effect of clearing away not only spectators, but even the most ardent lovers of the sports on the ice. The thermometers in the parks at four o'clock registered 16 deg. below freezing point. At eight o'clock last night there was much fog about, and every prospect of the night being as cold as the preceding one, when the thermometer stood _ Ni deg. below freezing. The works on the Thames embankment, the new Black friars-bridge and similar undertakings, are almost sus pended, whilst the masons and bricklayers employed at the new Foreign-offices and other large buildings in the metropolis have been compelled to give up work altoge ther. It is computed that the weather has thrown out of employment at least 5,000 operatives in the building trades lone. About noon on Thursday, as a labourer in the employ of Mr. Cooper, of Pyefurd, a village about seven miles from Guildford, was passing through Pond Field, in the neighbourhood of his master's farm, he espied an object in the ditch which attracted his attention. On exami nation, the object, which was covered with snow, turned out to ' be a man named Tappin, the Ripley messenger, who th•livers poet letters in the outlying districts of which Fysford and Wisley form part. Mr. Cooper wee at once communicated with, and he speedily arranged for the delivery of the letters, whilst with equal prompti tude the messenger was assisted from his bed of snow, where he had been for some hours. Tappin's account is that he got into the drift and pitched headlong into the ditch, whence he was too exhausted to extricate him self. The frost continues very intense in West Surrey. The thermometer on Thursday night at the coldest pe riod registered 14 deg. Fahrenheit, or 18 deg. below freezing point. Ye/Wiley, in the shade, it stood at 16 deg. The snowfall in Liverpool, owing perhaps to its proxi mity to the sea, was not very heavy, but what did fall, when frozen over, made the streets so slippery, that loco motion either on foot or in vehicles was both difficult and dangerous, and the traffic in the chief thoroughfares has been constantly blocked by prostrate cab and 'bus horses, and at night cabs of the better class could not be had for love or money. Yesterday the temperature in the middle of the night was 15 degrees below zero, a fact almost without precedent, as the climate of Liver poo l is generally much more mild and equable than that of Wend cities. Yesterday a fog of metropolitan density and Arctic chilliness overspread the town, making locomotion more difficult than ever, and causing the gas to be lit about three boars earlier than usual. The only serious accident reported was the drowning of three boys while sliding on a pow. I in the outskirts of the town on Thursday afternoon. Devonshire, in common with the more easterly counties, was on Wednesday visited with a heavy fall of snow. Between Reading end Dideot , and also near Warmin ster, a prodigious quantity of snow fell, railway com munication being in some cases quite stopped by a depth of from four to five feet of snow. On the South-Western line, between Basingstoke and Salis bury, there was alscia heavy fall, and the midday express was nearly three hours late in arriving at Exeter. In the north of Devon, and down as far as Brent, snow was lying on the ground to the depth of between four and six inches, Dartmoor having been covered on Monday night. From Tavistock, and from various parts of Cornwall, very severe weather is reported. . . . _ _ With regard to the weather in Scotland the Scotsman says :—" The snow storm which blew over the city of Edinburgh on Wednesday evening gradually subsided as the night wore on, and by Thursday morning the sky was clear. The frost, which had not wholly departed with the coining of the snow, set in with greater severity, and, combined with • keen northerly wind, rendered outdoor exercise exceedingly uninviting. The fallen snow was quickly frozen, and the streets became twofold more slip pery and unce rtaiu for pedestrians than before. On Thurs day, the falls were numerous, and in fact kissing the snow was almost • matter of course to the foot-passenger. In the suburbs • more expeditious, as well as • more novel, mode of traversing the streets was observed. Many of the boys put on their skates, and moved, if not easily and gracefully, at least more speedily over the hardened snow than simply with their boots. The con tinued frost strengthened the ice on the lochs, and from an early hour St. Margaret's, Lochend, and Dunsappie lochs were thronged with skaters, who pursued their sport with good humour and enthusiasm until darkness set in, not withstanding a piercingly cold northerly wind, which blew all day, but more keenly towards evening. As usual, there were a number of slight accidents, occasioned by falls ; and at St. Margaret's loch a few immersions took place through the ternerityof the skaters venturingon dangerous portions of the ice. At one time a lady and two gentlemen were precipitated into St. Margaret's by the ice giving way while the trio were proceeding to the centre of the loch. The watt'. was deep, and they were rescued with seine diffi culty—the lady at first being overcome with terror, and failing to grasp at the rope thrown to her by the attend ant policemen. As on the previous day, constables were in attendance at each of the lochs with ladders, ropes, and cork jackets, for use in the event of accidents taking place. The ice on Duddingston loch did not appear to be strong enough either for the roaring game or skating as no one was allowed to go on. The private curling Rich* in the neighbourhood were all frozen over, and • bonspiel was enjoyed on the majority of them in :he course of the day. The ponds at the Royal Patent Gym nasium, which cover four acres of ground, were, notwithstanding the high rate of admission, largely patronised—fully 2,000 ladies and gentlemen having visited the place during the day. The ice was strong, and the surface being continually swept by a staff of workmen, capital sport was enjoyed. The frost was as keen as ever on Thursday night, and the appearance of the sky gives indications of • continuanx of frost." From other Scotch papers we learn that the violence of the steno seems to have been most felt along the valley of the Tweed. Travellers by the Tweedside line of railway between Galashiels and Innerleithen were exposed to great priva tion.. The train which left Gambrels for Innerleithen at 5.10 p.m. stuck fast in the snow ac Ilaughherml, near Innerleithen. The engine belonging to the train which runs between Peebles and Innerleithen came to its assist ance, and in the attempt to pull it away broke the couping. After much exertion the train was got to Innerleithen, but from the damage sustained by the engine it re,uired to be taken to Peebles to refit, and before it got hack to Innerleithen it was ten o'clock. The pas sengers for Galsahiels, ten in number, then started for their destination. The train made but slow progress till C.adiloidee was reached, and when on the hill-face opposite Ashierteel, it was found impossible to make further pro pees. The passengers were in a miserable plight, the night was bitterly cold and raw, and the situa tion exposed them to clouds of suffocating drift. It was as impossible to go back as ahead, the engine being firmly inth.a.led in the snow. A aheph. rd's house was the only dwelling. within a mile of the spot, and it was considered the wisest plan to keep by the co rnages. The passengers speak in highest peals. of the Londuct of the men in charge of the train, who did everything possible in the circumstances. The steam whistlo was kept blowing for an hour. Help at length came from Thornilee and Clovenfords, when the snow was cut away, and the prisoner* extricated. It was half-past two o'clocl. a.m. when the train reached Galashiels. One femur passenger was in • most helpless condition from cold. The j, crncy from Innerleithen to GaLishiels occupied four and- calf hours, though the distance is only twelve miles. On Tt irsday the roads were all open, and there was nu drip.. Thousands enjoyed on Wednesday the healthy and ex- THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 5, 1867. hilarating exercise of skating on Lochburnie. Among three on the ice, a young Iy-skater attracted great at tention. She had with her a large Newfoundland dog, and attached to the collar round the aniutal's neck was it pair of reins ; these she held in her bands, and the dog di recting her course on the ice, she in this way skipped along in very swift and graceful style, It may not be uninteresting to compare the intense cold of yesterday with that of previous records. The coldest day ever known in London was December 25, 1796, when the thermometer was Is; deg. below zero. The next coldest day was also a Christmas-day, that of the year 18E0, when the thermometer fell in some places to 18 dq., and in others to 15 deg., below zero—at Torquay, in Devon shire, it was 20 deg., below zero. The thermometer marked 4 deg. below zero on the 3rd of January, 1854, and it is re- corded that quicksilver was frozen hard at blescowJan. 13, 1810. During the hard frost in 1740, a palace of ice was built at St. Petersburg. the want of food and clothing. They had no shoes or stock ings, and the room they were in was without furniture. The children had suffered much, and would have perished if he had not relieved them. The mother of the children aban doned them about two months ago; and their father was a cooperin the Victoria Dock, Plaistow, and earning 284. per week. They had no clothes or bedding, and althoughPuie was not destitute or unable to maintain his children, he had given them no proper nourishment or clothing. lie never saw children in such a neglected state before, and they would have perished. Mr. Partridge said the relieving officer had done right, and that it was not because the father of the children had neglected his duty the parochial officers were to neglect theirs. Mr. Spratley said he had given the children outdoor relief, and if he had not done so he was afraid they would have been starved. iir:Fart:riTlgel - -That is right, continue to administer the relief, and I will give you all the aid in my power to reach this man who has so grossly neglected his children. He is amenable to the law. Mr. Spratley— The medical officer of the district has seen the children, and has recommended me to make this application. Mr. Partridge said the relieving officer could have a war. rant against Pine for neglecting to maintain his children. AdoipA Kroger, alias Groper, aged 47, and Gcorype Tap gam., 48, described as natives of Prussia, were brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with having in their pos- session 107 five-rouble notes which had been forged, with intent to defraud the Russian government. Mr. Sleigh, barrister, instructed by Messrs. Vining, Dale, and Robins, solicitors, conducted the prosecution for the Russian government. The charge against the prisoners was that they had in their possession without lawful authority or excuse cer tain papers of the Russian government for the pay ment of five roubles each, equal to about 10a. British currency. The notes were forgeries, and were beautifully executed in imitation of the genuine ones. This was an offshoot of • gigantic fraud on the Russian government. A year ago certain persons, prosecuted by the Russian government, were con victed at the Central Criminal Court for having in their possession a large quantity of similar notes, and according to the best knowledge and belief of a gentleman connected with the Russian consulate all the notes were printed from the same plate. The forged notes had been circulated to a large extent in Russia, and it had been ascertained that they had been circulated in that empire and among the poor to the extent of several thousand pounds per annum. The prisoners took lodgings at • house in Wlntechapel a week since, and remained there until Thursday evening, when in consequence of certain information, the nature of which it would not be prudent to divulge, the prisoners were ar rested, and 107 notes for five roubles each were mired. Mr. James Heard said he was an assistant to the Russian . consul, and a native of St. Petersburg. He was well ac quainted with Russian money. He had no hesitation in saying that all the 107 five-rouble notes were forgeries. All were printed from the mune plate, and excellent imi tations of the genuine Russian notes. Any one of them might easily be taken for a genuine note. All the Rus sian notes which were genuine were printed on govern ment paper. The 107 notes were printed on a different sort of paper. Mr. Sleigh now asked for a remand, and Mr. Partridge remanded the prisoners for a week. DEATH FROM STARVATION. Mr. W. Payne, the deputy-coroner for the City of London, held an investigation last evening, at the Langbourn Ward School-rooms, Lime-street, City, re specting the death, from starvation, of James Brooks, aged 4:3 years. John Standing deposed that he was a labourer out of employment, and that he had walked up from Brighton in search of work. On last Wednesday he met the deceased at the corner of Northumberland-alley, in Penchurch street. Witness said to hits, "Are you out of work ? " and he replied, " Yes ; I am going down here to try and get • bit of bread." Witness then accompanied the deceased to the relieving officer in Northumberland-alley. The deceased went in first, ac.l witness stood outside. When he caul° out he had about six ounces of bread in his hand. It was a bit about the size of the fourth part of a half-quartem loaf. It was not as large as a penny roll. That was all that he had got. Witness then went in to the relieving office, and he saw an old gentleman and a woman there. The old gentleman said, " Where do you live ?" and witness told him that he had come from Croy don, and that he was going to Hampstead. The old gentle man wrote that down in • book, and he was then given about six ounces of bread. He got nothing else. Witness gave the name of Edwards. They were complaining at the time of • mail woman that was in the relieving office. The woman cut the bread and handed it to witness, and before she did so the old man said, " You must cut it smaller." Before that was said the woman had given a man a bit rather larger. The old gentleman then said, " You will have to cut it rather smaller than that, or else there will not be enough for them." There were twenty people waiting at the time. When witness came out he saw the deceased stand ing near the office. He said that he was then going to try and get work on the underground railway. It was then two o'clock, and he said that he had had nothing to eat or drink that day. He also stated that he was a Devon shire; man, and that he had no lodgings. They then went under an archway near a warehouse at Crutchedfriars, and they stood there to eat their bread before they went to the railway to look for work. After eating the bread the deceased walked about a dozen yards, and he then leant forward and pressed his chest against an iron post in the street, and he said, " 1 have got a pain in my chest ; it's the wind." lie appeared to be short of breath. He then walked on until he got to the crowing at the corner of Leadenhall-street, when be reeled backward, and he would have fallen, only that a gentleman caught hold of him by the arm, and he was placed lying on the pavement. The day was very cold, the snow being on the ground. The deceased was so cold that when he was eating the bread he could hardly bold it in his hands. A gentleman went for the police and a doctor was brought. The deceased was then carried into a surgery, where he died. Witness had called at the relieving-office at 12 o'clock in the day, and he had heard a man say, " I'll give you relief when I get rid of this mad woman." Witness then remained away until 2 o'clock. He had walked up from Croydon that morning. It had taken hint three hours to walk the 10 miles in the snow. On his way up from Brighton he had tried to get work. Police-constable Buzzard, 701, City force, said that he was called to the deceased on Wednesday last. He was insensible, and witness, assisted by another constable and a gentleman, carried him to Dr. Crosby's, in Pen church-street. The doctor examined him and asked him whether be had a home. He shook his headand said belied none. He died in the shop. A pair of spectacles, a piece of soap, two parchments, and a police notice were found in his pockets. The documents proved that in 1864 he was sentenced at Exeter to three years' penal servitude for stealing fixtures. In October last lie was liberated from Portland prison under a ticket of leave signed by the Right Hon. S. H. Walpole. He then came under the care of the Prisoners' Aid Society. Dr. Thomas Moore Crosby, Penchurch-street, said that the deceased was brought to his surgery in a state of col lapse. Witness laid him down before a fire and pressed his chest. The whole body was cold. His eyes were sunken and half closed. The pupils were wildly dilated. When his mouth and lips were moistened with brandy he gasped, and witness thought he was going to rally. He then said that he bad no home. While a cab was being sent for to take him to the workhouse he vomited and died. He was suffering from faintness and cold. He was as cold as ice. He died from want of food and the very low temperature then prevailing. If he had been given • basin of hot soup be would have been alive now in witness's opinion. lie was cold and frozen. There was no other cause for death but acute starvation. It was a death from syncope, from failure of the heart's action. He only wanted warm nourishment. Witness's impression was that he would have rallied if he bad had a warm meal. The jury, after some deliberation, returned the follow. ing verdict :—" That the deceased died from want of food, and that his death was accelerated by cold, and the jury recommend that some warm nourishment should be given to the destitute during the cold weather, and they wish the guardians to take the matter into their consideration immediately." IMPRISONMENT OF NOTORIOUS PRIZ E-F IGHTERs. At the Derby shire sesions, before Mr. Evans, M.P., and other m rates, Joseph Goes, Peter Morris, George Holden, oomph Wareham, and James Mace surrendered to their hail, on a charge of unlawfully disturbing the public peace at Croiudl, on the 28th of November 1866. The prisoners pleaded guilty, and, through their solicitor, asked to be allowed to go at large, as they all earned their livelihood in respectable employments, upon entering into their recognizance' to come up for judgment when called on. It was proved by the superintendent and inspector of police that they had not been assaulted or ir.sulted by the defendants when told to desist from fighting. The clmir man said that though engaged in an act they bad not interfered with the police ; but it had been proved by a recent case in Sheffield that the course which the de fendants requested him to pursue towards them did not put • stop to prize fights. He should, therefore, inflict a substantial punishment for the offence. The sentence was, that they be severally imprisoned, with hard labour, for one calendar month, and at the expi ration of that time be each bound over in his own recog -11i21111014 in the sum of 40/. to keep the peace for twelve months. THE OAKS EXPLOSION.—BARNSLEY, FRIDAY.— In a short time the No. 2 shaft, which is the only one that remains open, will be closed. The scaffolding had so far that it was expected that by this evening or to-day it would be ready to be lowered down, after which a large quantity of soil and clay will be thrown upon it, so as to close the shaft entirely. It appears from the books of the general committee that the number on the books at the present time are divided into three classes. The first, widows and children, shows that there are 152 of the former and 346 of the latter left destitute. There are four men and ten women destitute, who are parents of those lost in the pit. There are 59 persons who were partly dependent on eons lost by the explosion. There are three men, three women, and ten children belonging to those who were burnt in the pit, and are still alive and in a fair way of recovery. The total amount of subecrip tions of the Barnsley fund amount to 7,1521. 6s. 4d. A subscription is going on in the town for providing the widows, orphans, and those dependent with a tea this day (Saturday) in the Salem School-room. THE LATE TRADES' REFOEM DEMONSTRATION. The adjourned meeting of the trades delegates was held last night at the Sussex Hotel, Bouverie-street, for the purpose of receiving the financial statement of the late de monstration and deciding on the future course of action. Mr. G. Potter occupied the chair. The secretary reported the proceedings taken by the Working Men's Association in reference to the action foe breach of contract against the lessee of Ashburnbami grounds, and a resolution was adopted confirming the action taken by the association. The treasurer then read the financial statement, from which it appeared that the cost of the demonstration had been 6551. The following delegates were appointed as auditors—Mr. Judd, tin-plate worker; Mr. Jeffery, bricklayer, and Mr. Wolff, farrier. A delegate wished to know whether the trades were going to take part in the proposed demonstration of the Reform League on the 11th of February. The chairman said each trade would act as it thought proper, but that the delegates, as a body, had no power to take any action in relation to the proposed demonstration. The following resolution was then adopted :—" That in the opinion of this meeting of dele gates of • the London trades, should the present govern ment not introduce a sat isfactory reform bill, another demon stration of the London trades should take place early in the year; and that the committee take the necessary step, to prepare for the same on a larger scale than that held on the 3rd of December last." The meeting then adjourned until the 26th inst. THE LYONS SILK MARKET. —The Salut Public of Lyons says :—" Transactions in the silk market have again this week preserved • course of a rather uniform character, and prices still tend upwards. Short supplies are principally the cause ; but purchases made by the ma nufacturers of Switzerland and Germany in our market must also be taken into account. Shanghae letters to the 20th November announce considetable activity is business there, and firm prices for fine fabrics, which are becoming scarce. In coarser sorts, on the contrary, rates are lower. The sales for the fortnight amounted to 2,000 bales, and from the Ist June to the Bth November to 17,700 as tam pered with 35,530 during the same period of 1845." THE POLICE COURT& MANSION-HOUSE. Just before the rising of the court a man named John Cleyg was brought up in custody of Foulger and Smith, the detective officers, and charged before the Lord Mayor with having unlawfully in his possession more than a ton weight of valuable wool, the property of Messrs. Gooch and Colleens, wool warehousemen, of Heydon-square. Mr. H. F. Valiance appeared for the prosecution. It appeared that, upon the stock being taken by the prosecutors in December last, it was found that a very large quantity of wool was missing, and a reward of 400/. for the discovery of the thieves and the receiver, was offered. A man named Joseph Cohen was subsequently taken into custody by Foulger, and charged with receiving three bales of wool worth 100/., and he is at present under remand, the evidence against him being that he had hired a cart, and had taken the three bales from the warehouse of the prosecutors. In consequence of information that was sub sequently received by the officers, Foulger, accompanied by Smith, another officer, and Inspector Hamilton, went to the largewarehouse in Half Moon-street,Bishopegate, where they found the prisoner, and inquired if he had any wool upon the premises. He declared that be had not, and the officers made a cursory search, but did not make any dis covery, and went away. Yesterday morning, however, in consequence of further information received by the police, Foulger and Smith went again to the warehouse, and upon making a close search they discovered eleven bales of wool concealed under grimy bags and in various out of the way places ; andl the prisoner, who declared that he knew nothing about the wool at first, but who afterwards said that they had been placed in his warehouse as security for 100/. that a person owed him, was taken into custody. A witness was examined, who proved that a large quantity of wool was brought to the warehouse in Half Moon. street shortly before Christmas-day, and that it was taken out of the bags in which it was brought by the prisoner, and placed in other bags, and these bags were placed about in different parts of the premises. The prisoner was remanded. BOW-STREET. - - - John le Lennan , a middle-aged, shabby-genteel-looking man, was placed at the bar on remand, charged with stealing a mutton chop, value 3d., from the shop of Mr. Payne, butcher, Drury-lane.ll.l /1411111. The case again st the prisoner was, of itself, • very trivial one, but the prisoner himself had acquired a notoriety amongst the police from the number of timesim had been taken into custody on various charges of th eft. On one occasion he was charged with stealing a book from a railway station, be having on that occasion repre sented himself as an ordained minister of the church of England. He was fully committed for trial ; and being tried at the Surrey Sessions, the presiding judge addressed him at some length for the disgraceful position he occupied for one in his station of life. He on that occa sion got off with • very few weeks' imprisonment, the judge not being acquainted with his real character, as he had carefully changed his name on each occasion of his being taken into custody. Lockerby, the officer appointed by the magistrates to identify offenders, now attended at Bow-street, and in formed Mr. Vaughan, the magistrate, that he had known the prisoner ever since Dia, during which he had been convicted no less than fourteen or fifteen times. He was a regular old thief. Mr. Vaughan having cautioned the prisoner, he said in his defence he was innocent of stealing the chop, and that the whole thing was a mistake. The magistrate said he thought otherwise, and there. fore he should fully commit him for trial. LAMBETH. On Tuesday last theiti;:Mi. Wallis, incumbent of Stockwell Chapel, and also secretary to the Church &Wiling Fund for the diocese of Winchester, applied to Mr. Elliott to take his opinion respecting the distribution of lottery tickets in aid, as their heading implied, of the "South London New Church Building Fund," an object of which the rev. applicant had no knowledge, and there fore arose his anxiety to bring the matter under the notice of a magistrate. The tickets represented the prizes as 1,000 in number, and of the estimated value of 400/., and went on to say that their purchasers, in addition to • chance of winning one of them, would be entitled also to six cartes de visite at the studio of Mr. Carrick, 32, Regent street. Mr. Alvey, a gentleman residing in Camberwell-road, and four other officers of the society of the New Church or New Jerusalem Church, waited on Mr. Elliott to give the required explanation of the matter. From the statement of Mr. Alvey it appeared that about two years ago a new congregation of this body was formed in " South London," whose design and object was to build a New Jerusalem Church in Camberwell-road, and the principal object in circulating the tickets was with the view of disposing of various articles which re mained from the bazaar of last year for the benefit of the building fund. Mr. Elliott—lf you refer to the heading of the tickets you will find that nothing is said about the Jerusalem Church. The beading is " South London New Church Building Fund." Had you designated the church ea the " New Jerusalem Church," it might have afforded an ex planation. Mr. Alvey—That is very true, sir, but the fact was that the tickets were only intended for our personal friends, who would have understood them quite well. It is not , our wish to act in antagonism to the Rev. Mr. Wallis or anybody else, nor do we at all complain of the application made by the rev. gentleman, or the mode in which that applic..tion was made. It was here asked if Mr. Carrick was present, when Mr. Thorn, treasurer to the society, rose and said that to make the tickets a little more attractive the committee had added that part which related to the cartes de visite, and therefore in reality Mr. Carrick had nothing whatever to do with it, nor was he present. He (Mr. Thorn) wished to add that though the designation of the St. Georp's Hall could not be found in the Directory, it was • place well known, where public lectures and public meetings were held, and was part of the goods depository in the Gray's-inn-road, near Xing's-cross. The gentlemen having produced the printed reports of their meetings and other proceedings to prove their bona fides, they thanked the magistrate for the attention bestowed on them, and left the court. The extreme severity of the weather had the effect, as on the morning before, of reducing the night charges to three or four, and those not of much importance. John Buckley, formerly an inmate of Lambeth Work house, was charged with stealing a suit of clothes, of the value of 13a., the property of the guardians of the poor for that parish. Alfred Vanderstien, probationary wardsman at the work house, said that on the 29th of October last the prisoner was permitted to leave the house to come to this court to give evidence in a case then before the magistrates, and did not subsequently return ; but, on the oontrary, absconded with the clothes which he had on, and which belonged to the guardians, and kept out of the way until the night before, when he was apprehended. The prisoner, in defence, said that on returning from this court he got something to drink, and unfortunately neglected to go back to the workhouse. The magistrate convicted him in a penalty of .is., in ad dition to the value of the articles he absconded with, or one month's imprisonment. Mary Aux Slater, a healthy-looking girl of 16, was charged with being found in the greenhouse of a gentleman named Welke, at Norwood. Charles Gray, gardener to Mr. Welke, said that ongoing to his mseter's greenhouse on that morning he found the prisoner there fast asleep, and on awaking her she said that she had been locked out from her lodgings on the night before, and a policeman took her to the place for shelter, but cautioned her to leave by bye in the morning. A constable, with much candour, admitted that this was the fact, and the girl was discharged, with a caution to get home earlier for the future. soU'tESVARK. Two poor little boys, aged iii and seven, dressed in the workhouse clothing, were brought before his worship, charged under a recent act of parliament with being found wandering about the streets in a destitute condition. It appeared from the evidence of 207 M that he found the children a week ago close by the railway terminus near London-bridge. They were almost naked, having only a few rags to cover them, and without shoes and stockings. He stopped them and asked them why they did not go home instead of wandering about the streets, when they said they had no home, and did not know where to go to. They were taken to St. Olave's workhouse, where they re ceived the clothes they now wore, and had received kind attention from the master ever since. Witness had made inquiries, and ascertained that the children bad a father and mother, but they were very bad c h arac t ers . . . Mr. Dewitt', the gioler, said'he knew them both. The mother was at the present time undergoing a sentence from this court for misconduct. The father was a drunken, dissipated man, who cared nothing for the children. The magistrate observed that the parish authorities ought to proceed against him for his inhumanity. These poor children could not be turned adrift such inclement weather as this, therefore he should send them both to the workhouse until something could be done for them. lie was sorry to say that he could not *end them to en in dustrial school, as there was not one in the county of Surrey. The magistrate was informed that the county magis trates had formed a committee to establish industrial schools, and had gained the consent of the Secretary of State for that purpose, and that in a very short time they would be enabled to receive from 100 to 150 destitute children. The magistrate was glad to hear that, as he had ex pressed his surprise on a former occasion that there were so few industnal schools in this great metropolis. As for the lads now before him, they would be taken back to the workhouse for a few days, so that in the meantime some thing might be done for them. He trusted that the pa rish officers would at once take proceedings against their inhuman father, so that he might be dealt with according to law. THAMES. Mr. James Spmtley, one Wi tie relieving officers of the Poplar Union, came before Mr. Partridge and solicited his advice under these circumstances : Mr. Spratley said that he had been recently called upon to assist the family of a m►n named rine, of No. 10, Han cock-road, Bromley, within the union. The family con sisted of six young children—the eldest 14 years of age, the youngest one ye►r and seven months only. He found the children in a most deplorable condition, suffering from SALMON POACHING IN WALES. For some time past there has been a wholesale destruction of salmon in the Wye, by a large body of poachers, banded together under the title of " Rebecca and her Daughters," who were formerly known by their destruction of the turnpike-gates and toll-houses in certain hports of Breconshire and Radnorshire. Great exertions ave been made by the Wye Fishery Conservators to put down this new phase of illegality, and very close super vision is being exercised by bodies of night watchers and water bailiffs. The gangs of these poachers had become so formidable, however, in December, that an increased body of water bailiffs were put on the Khon ; and, supported by &gentleman of the neighbourhood and his gamekeepers, at 11 o'clock on the night of the =ad ult. they came upon a gang of about twenty poachers, disguised in various ways, armed with spears, pikes, blud geons, and other weapons, some of whom were carrying flambeaux of straw to light the stream/ and at tract the fish, while the rest pursued their work of spear ing. The water bailiffs concealed themselves in a wood by the side of the Khon until the poachers went into the stream, and were at their work, when they showed a bold front by rushing into the stream. The poachers, pro bably fancying the number of water bailiffs to be greater than they really were, darted out of the stream on the op posite aide, and clearing some rails, got into the meadows beyond,where they wheeled round, and forming themselves into line, presented their spears at the watchers. Samuel Owens, the superintendent bailiff, asked them what they meant to do, and if they would deliver up their weapons, upon which they e xclaimed " Fight!" Hereupon the watchers closed upon them, and a determined encounter followed, in which a gamekeeper named Lloyd was seriously injured, and the poachers and watchers terribly punished, but the watchers, after a fight which hutted fora quarter of an hour, proved themselves victorious by captunng four men and driving the others off the field. During the encounter one of the poachers, named Edward Hamer, the son of a large and wealthy farmer, threw the superintendent, and, keeping him on his beck made en attempt to "gouge" him, and was only prevented by the timely assistance of • watcher named This encounter and capture served to dispel a belief entertained by many that these salmon poachers were poor, needy labourers, and has shown that " Rebecca and her Daughters" are chiefly com posed of the largest occupiers of land in the district ; for two of the persons captured are the sons of one of the wealthiest farmers thereabouts, and it is now well known that the majority of the gang are men well to do. The four prisoners were brought up at Ilenybont Petty Sessions, on the 27th and 25th ultimo. The occa sion drew together the whole population of the district for many miles round, and the greatest excitement prevailed. The evidence of the whole of the water bailiffs and the gamekeeper (Lloyd), who was nearly scalped by • blow with • spear, proved the narrative above given. Mr. Evans, the magistrate, said that on one account he was not sorry this disturbance had taken place, for it had served to dispel the delusion that only faro servants were guilty of these outrages, for it was now clear that some large and respectable farmers themselves took part in them. There was no doubt that the inhabitants of these salmon districts occupy a peculiar position. Most of the persons he saw before him had almost from their cradles been in the habit of killing unseasonable salmon. He implored them, before there was bloodshed— and bloodshed there would be if things went on as they had done—he implored all he saw before him, especially the large and respectable farmers, to use their influence among their children, servants, anddependants, to put down the present state of things, and not oblige the magistrates to subject the ratepayers to the expense and the country to the the mes of applying for a large police force to maintain the supremacy of the law. The prisonerswere discharged. At a meeting of the Fishery Board on Wednesday, Sir Velters Cornewall in the chair, it was resolved to lay the matter before the Home Secretary. THE FESTIVALS OF THE THREE CHOIR.L—With the opening of the new year the initiative arrangements for the holding of the next festival of the three choir, of Worcester, Hereford, and Gloucester have been mods. The short interval that has elapsed since the last festival was held (at Worcester) has been occupied by the energetic and zealous conductor of the Hereford festivals—Mr. Townshend Smith—in procuring stewards, and already he has enlisted no fewer than 45 noblemen and gentlemen in the cause. These include the lord-lieutenant of Hereford shire (Lord Bateman), Earl Somers, Lord Skye and Srle, the Dean of Hereford, Sir Velters Cornewall, Bart., Sir J. Bailey, Bart., M.P., Sir W. Curtis, Sir IV. Milman, Admiral Sir T. Hastings, K..C.8., Hon. P. Wyndham, M.P., the Viscount Hereford, Mr. King King, M.P., Mr. M. Biddulph, M.P., Mr. K. Green Price, M.P., Mr. y, M.P., Mr. G. Clive, M.P., Mr. Walsh, ri a .r.7 lk and Mr. Severna, M.P. It is expected that the full complement of stewards will reach 60. It has been decided to hold the festival on the 20th of August and three following days. There will be four morning performances of oratorios at the cathedral at Hereford, and three secular concs , rts at the Shirehall ; besides which there will be a chamber concert at the College Hall on Friday evening, finishing in time for the winding up ball on that night. The engagements of principals, of course, are not yet made. Birmingham festival will follow in the week after the Hereford festival, and it is expected that the principals will be nearly the same at Loth. THE MANSION-HOUSE COLLIERY ACCIDENT FUND. —Among the amounts received yesterday in aid of the above fund was one of 337. 12a. eal., collected by the sales men of Billingagatc-market, through Mr. Deering, the clerk of the market, and a numberof small sums—the total amount received being about 220/. The total amount re ceived exceeds 16,0001. REPORTED Loss OP ♦ VESSEL AND NEARLY ALL HAMM—According to information received in hull, the steamtug Reliance, of Shields, boded, on the 29th ult., et Beadnell, • seaman named George Bailey, who had been picked up from • raft. Bailey states that he was one of the crew of the Queen of the Ocean, of Hull, from Liver pool for Shields, with amrgo of salt ; that the vessel was run into on the 25th ult, by the screw steamer Paris, and sunk about 25 miles south of Shields. He adds that the crew of the Queen of the Ocean were 22 in number, that the master and another man got on board the steamer, whi'.o he got on to a raft. Nothing is known of the fate of the to [mining 19 seamen. [Advertisement. ] HOLLOWAY'S PILLS. Pre monition —The opinion gains ground that disease is • diminu tion of vitality, and there Is little doubt that the powers of life are principally depressed by Impurities In the system. This de pravity can be corrected by taking n course or an occasional do, of Holloway's famous purifying POD, which expel all morhi.l matter from the circulation, and thoroughly cleanse and in, Igo. rate the glands, visccra,'and brain. Through this wholesome in fluence, Holloway's medicine casts out the seeds of all fevers, which, In sultry weather, prove so formidable to health, and In a vast majority of came destroy life Itself. Forewarned should be forearmed—a position easily obtained by taking these excellent Pills when lassitude, headache, or dejection distresses us. PROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTR.

Upon the resumption of business on Wednesday, after the New. year's holidays, the demand was very extensive, and occa sionally rather higher prices were paid, and today, not. withstanding a slightly quieter tone, the sales have been considerable in amount, the market closing with a partial advance upon last week's rates. New York advice, to the 2nd instant quote middling at 35 cents. costing to sell in Liverpool 151 d. per lb. For Sea Island the demand is only moderate, and prices are without change. American continues in general request, and shows an average advance of about Id. per lb. In Brazil a good amount of business has been done, and a rise of id. to id, per lb. has been established. Egyptian is in more eaten. sire demand, and commands full prices. The increase in stock, chiefly, as it proved, in East India, caused the mar. ket to rule a little lower ; subsequently greater confidence prevailed in those deecriptions, and prices of sawginned are advanced Id. per lb. ; other kinds are generally fins, and in some instances partially dearer than our last. Speculators have taken during the week 9,790 bales ; el. porters, 8,850 bales ; and the trade, 45,170 bales. We have bad a good demand to-day, and a steady market at yeder• day's prima. The sales are 10,000 bales, of which 2,000 are for export and speculation.

COTTON GOODS.—MANCRESIIM, JAN. 4.—There •as a strong market up to Wednesday, so far as prices were concerned, but buyers were acting cautiously. To-day our market has assumed a quieter tone. In shipping yarns very little business has been transacted, and to force salts rather easier rates would have to be takes. The business in home trade yarns has been slow. Sellers are demanding full prices, but this checks business, and there have been no transactions of any weight. In cloth there has not been much business done any time this week, but prices have been rather tenaciously held to by manufacturers u • rule. In some instances attempts have even been made to advance quotations, but the transactions were few in number and limited as to quantity. To-day sellers are quoting all classes of goods nominally higher than last week, but the advance has not been endorsed by pur chasers in the shape of business. Wo have had hat a limited inquiry, and • quiet feeling prevails. At the BUM time there has been no attempt to induce busine ss by any concession in prices. The demand for the India markets is rather more inactive than for other quarters, but the market generally is inanimate. CORN.—CnaLmsronia, Jaw. 4.—We had a small imnily of wheat at market to-day, for which f a n ners sal, a It prices ; an advance of 2a. was, however, freely given Pot beat runs.

WAKEFIELD, JAN. 4.—We have an active demand for Engliah wheat to-day, at an advance of 2a. per yr. from Last Friday's rates, and more bilabials doing in all foreign qualities. Barley quite as dear. The supply of beans is beyond the demand, and prices give way. WU and other articles unaltered. COALS.—LONDOI, Jai& 4—Lantbert's West Hartley, IGs. 9d.: West Hartley, 17a. ; Walls End Harlon, Vs.
