Stu,—Sportsmen of every grade had to hold hard during the first week of 1867, the stingitg frost that set in on the Ist of January having knocked the Manchester New Year's ri am.. into the middle of twit for perhaps this) week, awl while it lasted put both hunting and coursing men, so &Wulf:. to shake off the effects of their Christmas holidays, into clover *gain. There was nothing forsooth to think ii , siut beyond the important stakes that closed on Tuesday last ; and by some strange mischance these were not placed before the subscribers to the official organ until satui day evening, when the Calendar aune out 'genius the only eveut the world generally wanted to see— the 'beide' Cue. which simple people will still speculate upon, " all in," weeks before the nomination day. The wonder is how the newspapers devoted to our national pastimes tilled their columns for Saturday morning, and the January number of Boily's .V090:i," 1 illllt just now bo a perfect godsend to them, with its various gems of light sporting literature, the probability being that, during the ensuing two or three dull weeks, it will be quoted until every liue—even unto the advertisements—is re pt oduce.l. We shall be quiet indeed should Mr. Frost make a fresh start. until the issuing of the spring handl cam'. pending which everybody must fall back upon the Derby and Two Thous:old fora medium of conversation on speculation, and the quotations from Tattersall's will doubtless show that the interest in them does not flag. There are too many good performers in the Epsom event i.e that to go stale, Friponnier and Wrough ton being the only male two-year-old celebrities that were not deemed good enough when nearly a year and a ball old to lie eutereil; and with the Rake, D'Estournel, and Dragen out of the Two Thousand—Ai it is to be feared Grand truss will be likewise very shortly —a strange combination of accidents must happen if it is not an excitingly open ewe up to the last. Should anything serious occur to the Rake, D'Estourbel, the Hermit, or Drigun. the world will iing with the news instanter, for they are all heated at head-quarters, awl watched cs closely as though the fate of empires I,penileil on their " coughing." 01 failure to do a day's wo:t: when practice • bk. Already the " touts" are breathing hluts of • actor,' Chattanooga being among them, and it is singular that Newmarlee has never been unanimous in its respect for the Relic, who WAS allowed to retire to 441 to 1 for the Derby just as Joseph Dawson was getting him fit to win the Middle Park Plate. The objection now is that he " will nut improve," was too well " set" as a twolivar-ohl, and is withal too "short. - to be great this season : whilst it is certainly a singular fact that the descendants of Will Dayrell, no matter how good they may be as youngsters, train into very moderate or non staying horses, Molly Carew, Wild Agnes, and Robin Hood being living examples of this theory. Nevertheless, no one who ever saw the Rake gallop can doubt his stout. nets, and it is well melerstosal that the relative merits of him and theepeeily Friponnier at house were:vastly different at three-quarters of a mile to whet they were at half-a-mile. last autmen. And yet he is not deficient in speed, or he could not have got through the Althorp Park Stakes last Starch when opposed to such fast things as C'ellina, Knight of the I tart. r, Fityroy. Captain Kidd, and Jeannie Deans— not to mention Marksman. In the Middle Park Plate. too, he was "hang in front" before the field had gone • quarter of a mile. The way he beat Achievement and Knight of the Garter three lengths, and left a lot like the l'silmer. Troattiero, Master 11111. e, Houten:in, Flying Scud, and Rose many lengths further behind, was always admitted to he tip-top form ; coneemettly. the horse having so far done all that his best friends could wish in the way of improvement, it would 'event of prejudice not to admit his qualification to be first fiddle fur any sat. 10Ib. race he im.y be in where there is no Achievement in the way. Jostie, Dawson has many other Derby nags in his charge, but only one Rake, the Little Wives (another of Mr. Pryor'sl being only a second-rater, and Mr. Fleming's "dark" Van Amburgb no better, in my opinion ; and it will astonish me if his brother Matthew eloi beat the cracks with the best of the Duke of Newc.tatle%:. seeing that Pericles is a "roarer." Flying Scud never ran up to his private trial with Whitby when in Mr. W. Morris's possession, and Julius was always beaten whenever he met a mode rately good horse, the Hermit having done fur hint ill • canter at Stockbridge, and Vauban, when he was wound up to concert pitch, giving him alb. and just nicking him in the Houghton week. Besides, tie etayine of a descendant of Julie remit remain in doubt until he L.ls successfully gone through the ordeal of a long spin ; and if lloinbastes—supposed t be a much better alt than le showed himself at stockbridge, which he may be, and then he is not a first-rater—is a glutton, it will lie a strange gift of a son of Orlando and Bouquet.

Bliukhoolie was preeen:ed to the world by Rataplan and Blink Bonny's da:.i, and may yet show himself s respectable member of the family, which be lifts not represeuted very gaily as yet ; bet the softest bred one in the Chaplin team, the Hermit. is the beat by a long way, or we mould not have seen him easily win ning his four races out of Mx, with a lot bee Cellina, Seville. opoponax.

Dragon, the only colt that ever stretched his neck, le presumed to be the hest Count F. de Lagrange has a chance with, Trocadtro having done nothing better than beat Mandrake half a length, and once run within about a stone of Friponnier, whilst Enchanteur, Imperator, teat Volant, and Long,champs are all " dark." At one time it was the universal belief that one of the two tirstmemed of this quartet was better than Dragon—who has, however, gone otf just Lke a Gladia teur at present, never being forced up to the .nark, nor punished when beaten; and considering he was scarcely ever well when be did perform, and was once within a neck of the Hermit. such a decided stayer must be worthy of every confidence for a bout over the Epsom milo end a half, which he proved himself quite fast enough for at Windsor, and also on cutting down Lady Hester from the moment the flag fell for a half mile journey. _ _ Mr. Savila has two colts and two fillies, all very stoutly bred, to stand by him, Moleskin and Ravioli having done their duty in fair company, if they did occasionally show a lack of that fine speed displayed to such advantage by D'Estournel at Lewes, when be met hie last engagement. This colt, like the niosterate Roquefort, eau bout the great advantage of never having been severely dealt with by his careful trainer, (Albert, as a youngster ; and he came out so raw in the spring that, in the Two Thousand week be was " nowhere in a race won by Hippie. for which natty ran second. He bettered this shortly afterwards at Ascot spring by first running second to Achievement, beating 1. riponuier and Marksman, and next, "nobbl i ng Hippie fur a stake he did not get. However, he had 71b. or alb. the best of the weights with both the fillies, who were only beginning to run into the form they exhibited aubeeetiently ; so that it did not astonish many when be ran usplared to Achievement and the Hermit at Epsom, and to the Palmer at Ascot. In the July he was more himself, A'anban losing the second money to him behind Achievement by two or three lengths ; arse! at Lewes he was so ripe as to he able to gallop down the Duke Ostreger, Bismarck, and Pericles, giving the two hate; rilb. each. There was not much perhaps in the defeat of the two old ones at half a mile ; but Bismarck Lad just before this run Friponnier to a bead at Mb. only, making out the latter at this period of the year !Wore he had become so great a horse, it is true) quite half a none inferior to D'Estournel on paper. If he only progressed in the same ratio In the eutunin as he did in the summer, he would he the very best colt out by this tune. gaol just the cheese for the D. thy ; and, supposing he has not, he is still ale that meet be kept on toe right side. There ere many outsiders at headquarters deserving of mention, Lord Glasgow having two particularly fine oolts in his eons of Young Melbourne and Miss Sarah, whom Harlock is boned L.. make pay their way. The lost-named has already male a score, the rich Municipal at Doncaster compensating for his three defeats, all of which were no more an index to his " feria " t han were the Young Melbourne colt'. second to Alm's' at Goodwood and third to Mandrake and Owain Glyndwr at Newmarket.. Baron Rothchild possesses nothing very great iu Januar), the '• dark" Falkenstein ' and Hue in raw is scarcely the sort of . thinj for Count Battbyany , who knows bow to place a horse well enough to start in • Derby ; the Prince D. Soltykott's Seringapatam being another that had better be looked after ainong second-raters. (sodding seems to have nothing worthy of a thought ; the only others I need take cognizance of being those in charge of the brothers Boyce, one having a '' dark " colt called Flamingo Iby Thunderbolt out of Device), and the other a brace of Lord Falmouth's. Star of India and Suanylocks. The filly is a sister to Goldylocks, and has hitherto ran just as great a jad. , for after making short work of Marks man. Huntsman, Mr. Pitt, langliam, Arundel. &c., over six furlongs at Ascot, and running second to A/rides In a good field at Stockbridge. she got gradually worse, until at last anything could beat her out of sight. It may be she cannot carry weight, and that the Ret. nib. she won with was more suited to her than two stone extra: anyhow, she is not even the best of the second-rate lot of fillies that happen to be in the Derby. Star of India is nominated by Lord Exeter. lEce Grand Cross in the Two Thousand, or there would be a very fair chance indeed of Lord Falmouth doing good battle far the Blue Itiband, despite the colts three indifferent con cluding performances. He showed of what stuff he wee made by heating Knight of the Garter (;.lb extra), and Moleskin in a mile race at Doncaster, for which be had only been a short time in training ; and supposing him to improve all he promised at that time, he will not be far off the top of the tree this Denson. He helps Newmarket to be very strong for the home race, wherein they have little more to do than beat Plaudit ; and they are more terrible still to deal with at Epsom, with the French lot, D'Eatournel and the Hake, to tackle the Two Thousand winner—if it should not be the Hermit, Knight of the Garter, or Star of India—or moist the victor in battling for the honour of Newmarket on Epsom Downs. The north is not so strong, numerically, in Derby cracks as usual, but is formidable nevertheless, and I hope to show where they are most dangerous in my next, when dealing with all the antagonists to "he.ul•quarters " that are worthy of mention.—l NU, km, METEOR. ifittitc. ST. JAMES'S HALL A concert "for charitable purposes" was given on Saturday evening by Mr. Henry Leslie's choir, aided by several eminent solo artists, who gave their services gratuitously in furtherance of the object of the entertain ment. The perfection to which Mr. Leslie has brought his choristers by careful selection of voices, his zealous skill in rehearsing, co-operating with the intelligence and earnestness of the members, has long given his choir a special position among London musical institutions. No other choral body of the metropolis approaches Mr. Leslie's choir in purity of tone, precision of execution, unwavering intonation, and those refinements of light and shade—the contrasts of plan', and Jerk—without which music must fall far short of its proper effect. The selection of music on Saturday was of a very mia. oellaneous and popular character—most of the pieces sung by the choir being well-known melodies harmonised in four parts, among others the fine old Welsh tune, " The March of the Men of Harlech," arranged by Mr. John Thomas ; "Auld Lang Syne ;' the Irish melody, "Believe me if all those endearing young charms ;" the English ditty, "The Lass of Richmond-hill ;" and the French air, " Partant pour la Syria," all very cleverly harmonised by Mr. Leslie, and sung by the choir with a depth of feeling and delicacy of style that were beyond all praise. Admirable also was the clear enunciation of the worth, another feature in strong contrast to stage chorus-singing. Two clever original part-songs were also given, " Sweet and low," by Mr Hamby, and "Oh ! who will o'er the downs," by Mr. PearsalL The solo singers were Ma dame Sherrington, Madame Sainton-Dolby, Mr. Cum minim Mr. Lyall, Mr. Santley, and Mr. Chaplin Henry. These artists sang numerous ballads of various degrees of merit, the most effective of which were Horn's " The deep, deep sea," by Madame Sainton-Dolby ; a French air of Masse's, by Madame Sherrington ; " The Bay of Biscay," by Mr. Cummings ; and " Down among the dead men," splen didly given by Mr. Staley, who also gave a new song by ' Signor Arditi, which derived undue importance from its ad mirable execution. Monsieur Swinton played two brilliant fantasias on the violin, and there were also pianoforte solos cleverly executed by Miss Bennett and Miss Austine, some promised pieces for the harmonium being omitted in consequence of the illness of Monsieur Lemmens. The concert of Saturday was a special performance, not belonging to Mr. Leslie's regular season, which commences on January 31, and will consist of four subscription concerts, with two extra performances between. erntherditp Enttiltgence. OXFORD, JAN. 5. . - THE VACANT WAVNFLETE PROFESNORAHIP.— The Professorship of Moral and Metaphysical Philosophy is rendered vacant by the appointment of the Rev. H. Longueville Manse' (who has held it since 1839) to the Chair of Ecclesiastical History, with a canonry of Christ Church. This is one of four professorships, directed by the ordinances of the University Commission of 1854, re lating to Magdalen College, to be founded within that college, in lien of three prxelectorships mentioned in its ancient statutes to be maintained by a stipend of C,OOl. a year each. The election of the professor is vested in the Chancellor of the University, the visitor (the Bishop of Winchester), and the President of the College, the Regius Professonof Divinity and Civil Law. Tae SPECIAL SERVICES AT ST. PACE'S CAME in RA L.—Yestenlay evening the first of the special services of the present year was commenced in the large open space under the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral. On such a night, with a dense, damp fog prevailing, and the streets almost impassable in consequence of the accumulation of slush, it was scarcely to be expected that there would be any congregation at all, but notwithstanding these obstacles, the floor of the circular space was crowded, and about half the nave well filled. The Lord and Lady Mayoress, who had braved the weather, were provided with special seats in the choir. Neither he Dean of St. Paul's nor the Archdeacon of London was present, indeed the whole capitular body was represented by the Rev. Henry Melvin, 8.D., the canon in residence. The choir, under the direction of Mr. Buckland, appeared to consist of about 150 persons, the men being surpliced. Prayers were intoned by the Rev. W. J. Hall, M.A. of Trinity College, Cambridge, rector of St. Clement's, Eastcheap, and the lessons read by Mr. Melvill with marked impressiveness. The anthem after the third collect was "Arise, shine, for thy light is come," by Dr. Elvey.and was well rendered by the choir, as was hymn 1 2 2, " Sons of men, behold from far," which was sung at the conclu sion of the prayers. The sermon was preached by the Very Rev. K M. Goulburn, D.D., who has recently been appointed to the deanery of Norwich. The rev. doctor preached in his black gown ; a few weeks since, as a pre bendary of St. Paul's (a post he has lately resigned), he would have preached in his surplice. The Dean selected for his text the sth chapter of St. Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians, verse 16, " Redeeming the time." At the close of the sermon the hymn, " How beauteous are the feet," was sung by the choir and congregation, and the Dean brought the service to a close by pronouncing the benedic tion. It was announced that the sermon next Sunday evening will be preached by the Rev. W. F. Erskine Knollys, M.A., preacher at the (Chapel Royal, Whitehall, and chaplain to the Bishop of London.

We are glad to see that the public are still responding most generously in aid of the fun,i inaugurated by the Lord Mayor for the benevolent object of providing some thing in the shape of permanent assistance to the widows and orphans deprived of the assistance of their husbands and parents by the recent lamentable colliery accidents. Among the sums reosived on Saturday were—Lieutenant- Colonel W. J. Martin, 25/. ; Messrs. W. H. Smith and Co., 20/. ; Dr. Blissett Hawkins, 101. ; Messrs. l'reeds and Co., bankers, 201. ; collection at St. John's chureh, Hove, from the Rev.

The amount received on Saturday was about 3001., and the total amount of the fund is now fast approaching the mu nificent sum of 20,000/. FATAL COLLIERY ACCI DENT. —On Friday an acci dent of moat lamentable character occurred ut the Court House Pits, Kingswinford, about three miles from the town of Stourbridge, the property of Mr. Benjamin Gibbons. It appears from inquiries made upon the spot that during the whole of Thursday night the engine was engaged in pumping the water out of the " sump," or well at the bottom of the shaft, in which the water from the workings is collected. While the work of the pit is going on the "sump" is covered with strong planks. It was the duty of James Brooks and Thomas Marsh to take the planks down to cover the rump in the , it in question ; and about a quarter to six they proceeded to do no. They stepped on the cage, and the banksman gave the word to the engine tender to lower the two men. The engine had made but one revolution, when a jerk was heard, followed immediately by the dreadful sound of the cage, planks, and men, crashing down the'shaft. The jerk that was heard proved to be the parting of the hook by which the cage was attached to the pit chain. The depth of the pit is MO yards ; and as may readily be believed, the bodies of the unfortunate men were found in a fearfully mangled condition. It is no ex aggeration to say that they were literally dashed to pieces —the fragments had to be collected in bags. Brooks's body was much the worse, he being a heavy man. His skull was fractured, one of his feet hung only by a piece of akin, his legs were broken, and the viscera of the abdomen were found in the "sump." Both men have left wives and families, but the family of Brooks. who wee i 2 years of ago, are mostly grown up. Marsh was only 27, and his three children are all young. UNIVERSITY COLLEGE HOSPITA L. —A Christmas tree was given for the entertainment of the patients in this hospital on Wednesday last. The tree was lighted at six o'clock in one of the large wards, in presence of a num. her of visitors and friends, and about a hundred patients, most of whom received presents from the tree, and in the course of the evening wine and light refreshments. The amusements were also enlivened by vocal and instrumental music by the Lady Sisters. taavertisement.l—HoLLowAy's OINTMANT AND Pima—Judicious Management.—Though It ft impossible in this etbnate of changing temperature, fog end rain, to prevent 111 health altogether, yet its form and frequency may be much miti gated by the early adoption of remedial measures.

THE WAGES QUESTION IN NORTH AND EAST LANCANHIRE.—Meetings in different parts of East and North Lancashire are being held by the factory operatives to protest against the proposed reduction of 5 per cent. in their wages, and all the resolutions parsed are in favour of short time rather than redneed remuneration. The Pres ton branch of the North of England Amalgamated Associa tion of Twisb•rs and Drawers have just passed a resolution in favour of working four days a week, instead of submitting to a reduction of 5 pet cent. To-morrow (Sunday), a meeting of the executive of the general body will be held at Bolton to consider the question. To-slay, • circular will be sent to the masters of Preston connected with the branches named, requesting thou to adopt short time rather than a curtail ment of wages. On Thunalay evening general meetings of the weavers, spinners, and minders of Preston were held to oppose the proposed reduction. At the weavers' meeting, which was crowded—indeed the room was so filled, that huge numbers who came were unable to gain admittance Dlr. Edinundson, the secretary of the Weavers Association, said the operatives of North and East Lancashire had decided to work short time rather than have less wages ; that the market was overstocked, and that, if married women were taken out of the mills, the operatives would realise a great social and domestic benefit, whilst much of the overplus labour would be reduced in the mills. He afterwards moved—" That this meeting is of opinion that the only way to improve the position of the employers and employed is to curtail the hours of labour." The motion was carried unanimously, amid cheers and cries of "three days • week before less money." It was subse quently resolved that deputations should wait upon each of the employers, urging a reduction of the hours of labour, and that they should report the result of the interviews to a general meeting early nest week. The operatives who spoke at this stage of the meeting handled various ques tions. One recommended • revival of the emigration movement ; another add that the profits of the manufac turers and cotton merchants were enormous; a third said that the drapers who dealt in cottons, 1;.c., ought to have their exorbitant prices reduced ; and a fourth accused manufacturers of dishonesty in the sale of their cotton cloth. He said that all aorta of rubbish in the shape of dieing was put into cotton to make it weigh heavier, and that the manufacturers were by this system robbing the eo-umunity. Two or three operatives supported ha state ment, and the goner d meeting confirmed by cheers the truth of it. At the meeting of the spinners referred to, strong protests against the proposed reduction were made. Alanekeater Examin.r. CRYSTAL PALACE. HALF-A-CROWN DAY. SATI'ROAT, JAN. s.—Admissions on payment, 771; ditto by season tickets, 2,681; total visitors, 3,456. THE POLICE COURT& GUILDHALL. John Thonipeon, 18, who gave a false address, and Marcia Rohl - 17, who refused to say where he lived, were placed at the bar before Alderman Lusk, on remand, charged with stealing a pocket-handkerchief from William Pawson, 121 A division, Metropolitan Police. On the previous examination it was shown that Obee, 899, saw the two prisoners together in Gracechurch-street, and Thompson was trying to pick Pawson's pocket of his handkerchief. He failed in his attempt, and then Rook tried. Obee followed them to Newgate-street, and there Rook after several attempts succeeded in taking the handkerchief, but was at once seized by Pawson. Thomp son then ran away, but Obee captured him on the oppo site aide of the road. They were remanded in order that the prison authorities might see them. George Agar, senior principal warder of the City Prison at Holloway, now stated that he knew Martin Rook very well. On the 3rd of December, 1863, he was sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment as a rogue and vagabond, with intent to steal. On the 14th Feb., 1864, he had 14 days for the unlawful possession of two handkerchiefs. He was also committed fur 21 days on the 24th of August, 1864 ; three calendar months on the 14th of November, 1864 • three calendar months on the 2.Nth of July, 1865; and three calendar months on the 20th of November, 1865, all of which were for picking pockets. He had also had six calendar months under the Criminal Justices Act, at the Mansion-house, on the 20th of March, 1866, in the name of John Harris. He was out of prison only eight days when he returned to Holloway for two months on the 28th of November, 1866, as a rogue and vagabond. These commitments were all to Holloway, but he had besides been three times to Coldbath-fields. Thompson was not known anywhere. The prisoners denied all knowledge of each other. Alderman Lusk said it was quite clear the prisoners thought that Pawson was a country farmer, but they had made a dreadful mistake. _ _ _ _ Thompson mud be had done nothing wrong ; and Rook mid he did pull the handkerchief out of the gentleman's pocket, but be did not know be was. policeinun. Alderman Lusk fully committed the prisoners for trial. IRELAND. DUBLIN, JAN. 6. The mail steamer from Holyhead did not arrive to-day until put three o'clock, and without any pas sengers or mails, owing to the blocking up of the trains from London near Bangor by snow. On Friday last a person unknown took lodgings in a house in West Essex-street. He left in his room a small box, and as he did not return, the landlord's curiosity in duced him to open it early to-day. He had removed some bottles, and was making a further examination, when a great explosion took place. He was most seriously in jured, and lies in the hospital in a precarious oolulition. The windows of the room and those of the adjoining house were blown out ; the partition wall between the houses, and the windows of the second house were also destroyed. DESTRUCTION OF ST. JOHN'S CHURCH, CROYDON. The church of St. John the Baptist, at Croydon, was on Saturday night almost totally destroyed by fire. The sacred edifice is situated inl the lower 'portion of the town, at the end of Church-street, near to the old palace of the Archbishops of Canterbury, and was of remote, if not unknown antiquity. It has always been regarded as one of the finest examples of ecclesiastical architecture in Surrey. The building was surmounted by a lofty tower of flint and stone, and the pillars and arches in the inte rior formed a splendid arcade. In the chancel were some monuments of remarkable antiquity and beauty, and among them those of Archbishops Sheldon, Grindon, and Whitgift. Archbishop Sheldon's monument in m arblei was considered one of the most perfect pieces of sculp ture in the country. Only a short time since the interior of the church was restored and beautified at a very large expense. The Rev. John George Hodgson was rector, and the congregation was an extremely large one upon all occasions. So sudden and disastrous was the progress of the fire when discovered, that in a few minutes after the outbreak the entire edifice was in such a de structive blaze that all hopes of saving it were unfor tunately dissipated. The fire, which is supposed to have originated from the overheating of a flue near the com munion table for Sunday service, was first discovered at about half-past 10 o'clock. As speedily as possible the engine of the Croydon Volunteer }ire Brigade was upon the spot, but, owing to a dangerous economy in turning off the water from the reservoirs at night, a considerable time elapsed before any supply could be obtained. When the load board's engine arrived it was found to be useless, owing to its machinery being frozen. A strong wind was blowing during the raging of the tire, and it is certain that but for many of the surrounding buildings being covered with snow, immense damage might have been done to ad jacent property. So rapid was the spread of the flames that in en hour the building was a complete ruin, nothing but the almost calcined walls and the tower being left standing. The parish papers and the communion plate were saved, but it is needku to add that the monumental sculpture is sadly mutilated. THE END OF THE CHANCERY VACATION.—To day the offices of the Chancery Courts will be re -opened, and the numerous winding-up matters be heard in the re spective courts. On }'ridgy, being the first day of term, the courts will resume their sittings. The attars in Chan cery are inconsiderable. UNFOUNDED CHARGE. —On Saturday at the Croydon Petty Sessions, Charles Gregson Cowliahaw appeared to answer a summons taken out by Mathes Houle, a girl between 13 and 14 years of age, for in decently assaulting her in a railway carriage on the 22nd of December. The proeecutrix had been domestic servant in defendant's family, and on her being discharged he, at the request of his wife, took the girl to Bromley, having previously written to her brother to meet her at the station. She stated that they travelled alone from Croydon to Norwood Junction, there to Beckenham, and thence to Bromley, changing carriages at each place, and that during the whole journey he kept hugging and kissing her, and also behaved meet indecently. She cried the whole of the way, but never complained to anyone, though she saw the station-master at two of the places, and was in the waiting-room at Beckenham for half an hour. Besides that she saw several people on the various platforms. She persistently adhered to Der averment that nu one travelled in either of the carriages but herself and the defendant. He walked a mile and • half with her towards Down, a village near Brumley, where her brother lived, and he had his arm round her neck, and kept kissing her all the way. In cross-ezatn•nation by Mr. Bury Hutchinson, solicitor, who defended, the prosecutrii said she had made a similar false charge against her cousin about 18 months since, and that her uncle who adopted her had turned her out of the house on that account. For the defence numerous witnesses were called, who proved that there were several persons in the same compartment of the carriages in which the defendant and the girl travelled; that, so far from there being any appearance of her crying, she was talkative to the porters, and laughing at Beckeulnun about some holly she had in her hand, and almost all her statements upon minor de tails as to time, &c., were entirely and completely contra dicted. Her uncle, a very respectable farmer at Dane hill, near Lewes ' was also called for the defence, and denied the girl's statement as to her cousin, and said he had heard of it for the first time in the last week. The chairman said the bench were unanimous in their opinion that there was not the slightest foundation for the:charge, and the defendant would leave the court without the slightest stain on his character. fHE AMERICAN RACING YACHT HENRIETTA.— The builder of the Henrietta (Mr. Steers) is au English man. His father was a shipwright in Plymouth Dock yard, and hie emigration to America was brought about under circumstances somewhat peculiar. A Hr. Thomas was employed as an officer in the above-named dockyard. An American frigate came into Plymouth Sound, and the captain and chief officer lodged at Mr. Thomas's house. He (Mr. Thomas) was a clever draughtsman and shipwright. The Americans were quick to discover his talent. The result was that he was engaged with a Mr. Merritt, also an officer of Plymouth Dockyard, to proceed to America, where they were made master shipwrighta. Knowing the ' ability of Mr. Steers, Mr. Thomas wrote to England, and engaged him to go out. His (Mr. Steen') son commenced yacht building on his own account, and constructed many splendid vessels.—Nouthameem Times. THE ROYAL INFIRMARY, CITY-ROAD.—SinCe the foundation of this hospital for all chest diseases, 69,911 cases have been admitted. The number under treatment last week was 406. Acute cases are received for in-door treatment without any letter of admission. The winter is already being felt, and public benevolence alone can help the hospital to keep with the claims on its resources. HOSPITAL MY DISEASIB OF THE CHEST, V ICTORIA• ?MIL —The number of patients relieved at this institution daring last week was 1 001, of which 172 were new cases. hiSTIWPOLITAN YAM HOSPITAL, DEYON.HIetf sgMARs, Cree—The swept* number of patients relieved during the week ending Jan. 5 was—Medical, 156; ear gical, 387 ; total, 943, of which 430 were sew easy MARKETS. OOTTON.—Lxvinroo4., JAN. s.—Market quiet, with prices rather in favour of buyers. Estimated Nam today, 8,000 bales, including 2,600 speculation and export 2,500 American, 14d. to 17d. ; 200 Pernam, &c., to ; 30 Msrunham, 160.; 300 Masai° and 13d. to 14d.1; 700 Egyptian, 15Id. to 24d. ; 50 Smyrna, Bd.to 13d. ; 4,210 Burst, Blcl. to 13 d. ; Madras, 121 d.; Bengal, Scinde , &c., Bld. to 90. ; China, 11d. ; 10 Peru, 154cL Fair Dhollerah, 121 d.; fair Ootnrawuttee, 120.; fair Broach, 120.; fair Bengal, Bfd.; fair Eglrptian, 17d.; fair Pernam, 16d.; Middling Boweds, 15d.; Middling Orleans, 154 d. COTTON GOODS.—MANCRIETER, JAL s.—There ha. been a tolerably persistent effort throughout the week to keep up prices at about the rates current last week, before the excess in the stock of cotton was discovered, but it only succeeded for a few days, at an evident sacrifice of business, and we close to day at easier prices. In some instances prices are quotably lower, and India mule yarn is dull at a per lb. cheaper. Bolton yarns have declined rather more, and so have 32's cop twist. Very fine counts and water twist are steady. Skirtings, jacoonets and printing cloths have lost the advance altogether, and there has been but a small business effected. Domestics and some of the heavier makes of cloth are engaged. and prices are moderately well sustained. Some descriptions of mull, are also steady in price. WOOLLEN.—Lmos, JAN. s.—The cloth balls have been very thinly attended both by merchants and manu facturers, few buyers from other towns have been pre sent, and the foggy state of the atmosphere has caused almost an entire suspension of the transfer of light coloured fabrics. In the coloured market a few parcels of plain cloths and milled mixture coatings have changed hands, along with a sprinkling of tweeds and meltons for spring trade. No other department has been worthy of special notice. The transfer of Waists in the bite Hall has also been small, and the inquiries for white mediums have been very restricted. This dulness in both markets is, no doubt, chiefly attributable to the dark state of the weather, which has rendered it almost impossible for any purchases to be made with accuracy, especially in the fancy department. Prices have been well sustained. WOOL AND WORSTED.—Ditaturonn, JAN. The new year has opened with a cheerful tone. Though there have been no considerable transactions in wool, there has been sufficient inquiry to induce staplers to hold out for the extreme ratesof last week. Little wool comes from the country ; growei. still adhering tenaciously to quota tions which cannot be realised in this market. The classes of wool most in demand, chiefly deep-grown hogs, are still scarce and in good request, at slightly hardening prices. Average Lincoln hogs are worth 2e. to 2s. id, per lb., and wethers are about la. Md. In worsted yarns there has been a fair inquiry on the part of shipping merchants, but the prices sought by spinners are often an obstacle to business. The best qualities of super 30's have been rather more in request, though little more than late rates have been realised. There has been an improvement in the demand for carded yarns, without any change in prices. Two-full yarns would find a readier sale if spinners could accept late rates. They are obliged, in consequence of the higher rates demanded for the raw material, to seek an I advance, and this is generally a hindrance to business. The piece branch exhibits little, if any. change for the better. The demand ? in fact, becomes quieter when the branches connected with the supply of the raw material are left. The cold weather has come too late materially to benefit the home merchants. A pretty fair business has been done for the continent. The best department of the piece trade just now is in figures for China. Heavy goods, such as camlets, in.ive slowly. The high rates of cotton and wool tend to the firm maintenance of prices. HARDWARE.—Binimamme, J.tr. s.—There is little to report with respect to the trade of this town ; opera tions have been only partially resumed at the manufac- tories, and there are so few orders on the books that for the next week or ten days very little business will be done; but by that time the factors' travellers will be again on the road, and orders will come in from that quarter. It is tolerably certain, however, that for the remainder of the month more or less of quietude will prevail. The rise in the price of metal comes inopportunely at this moment; so far as relates to copper, it was wholly unexpected, and it is not easy to account for it, because all consumers of the article report business Hat, and the copper agents gave similar accounts only two days before the rise took phioe. The price of tin has also been advanced 2/. per ton. CORN.—Cureamoe, Jan. s.—Wheat was 2s. to 3s. dearer ; barley firm. Wheat, 60.. to 645. Barley, 40s. to 50e. Beans, 425. to 50e. Oats, 255. to 30s. CARLISLE, JAN. 5.-Owing to the storm there was • small supply of grain this morning. Wheat sold readily at an advance of 64. per bushel ; oats, 3d. dearer ; barley without change. Prices :-White wheat, new, 21s. to 265. ; ditto, old, 255. tid. to 275. 6d. ; wheat, red, new, 19s. 6d. to 2 - 3 s. ; ditto, old, 2.35. to 245. ; barley, 13s. to 14s. ; oats, potato, new, Bs. 94. to 10s. per Carlisle Flour, 2s. 4d.. to 2s. 7d.; oatmeal, 2s. to 2.5. 2d. ; ryemeal and barleymeal, ls. 64. per stone. COLCHESTER, JAN. 5.-A small supply of both wheat and barley, both of which were Is. to 2s. per qr. dearer. A moderate supply of ptaa andbona, which realised last week's quotations. GUILDFORD, .)A e. 5.-The supply of wheat to-day was moderate, and met a fair demand at an advance of Is. per qr. Barley also met a good inquiry, and fine sorts sold readily at an advance of Is. per qr. Other spring corn very firm. Wheat, GO& to 725. • barley, 345. to me. ; oats, Mc to 295. ; peas, 40s. to 43.; beans, 441. to 50r. HERTYORD, JAN. 5.-A rather limited show of grain, supplies being shortened by the weather. A good demand for both wheat and barley at fully late rates. English oats in request and rather dearer. Beans and peas steady. Wheat, red, per load, 365. to 385.; fine, 425.; white, 381. to 425.; fine, 4.1. a. Barley, malting, per qr., 40s. to 345. ; grinding, Ns. to 38s. Oats. coarse, per qr., 168. to 225. ; old, 325. Beans, per load, 23e. to :;//s. Pam, old, 32a. Leiczarza, J.tx. s.—There was a rather limited supply of wheat ; the condition of the grain was much better than last week. There was a healthy inquiry and sales were made at 2s. per quarter advance. Old red realized, 66a. to 70s. ; old white, 70a. to 765. ; new red, 60s. to 68s. ; new white, 684. to 70s. per 36 stone. For barley a tolerable inquiry took place, and buyers had to pay Is. per quarter over the rates current this day week ; malting, 40s. to 50a. per quarter ; grinding, 32a. to 344, per 30 stone. The oats trade was firm, quality fair. There was not much change in prices, but the tendency was to advance ; old , 31s. to 365.: new t 2445. to 33.. per 24 stone. The show of beans was middling, and there was a quiet demand, late rates being for the most part supported ; old white, is. to :ow.; new, 454. to 521. per 38 stone. Fine flour, 495. ; seconds, 455. to 475. per sack. NEWCAISTIX-VPON-TTNIt, JAN. s.—At our market this morning we had a moderate show of wheat from the growers, and, the arrivals from the coast as well as from abroad being also more moderate than of late, fresh thrashed samples were taken off quickly at an improve ment of Is. per qr., the same advance at the same time being bad upon south country and foreign. For the best new south country yellow 68s. was procured, whereas for extra red Danish 674., all per 5041b1., was realised. Nothing done in Dazitzics. Flour had snore tone, and pointing upwards. Choice malting barley held for more money, which checked aides ; grinding without change, and the same may be said of beans and peas. Oats in better de mand, but not notably dearer. The arrivals this week are : —Wheat, coastwise , 646 ; foreign, 3,474. Barley, foreign, 1,030. Malt, coastwise, 80. Oats, coastwise, 2,893' ; foreign. 4,550. Peas, coastwise, 109 ; foreign, 455 qrs. Flour, coastwise, 760 sacks. Indian corn flour, 220 sacks. NORWICH, Jas. s.—The supply of wheat at this market to-day was very fair , and, the demand being good, prices advanced about ls. to 2s. per qr. upon all the heaviest descriptions; in other sorts there was also a fair trade. There was less barley o ff ering than of late, and for all good malting qualities the trade ruled 6rm at the ex treme rates of this day sennight ; secondary and grinding sorts were taken on late terms. The weather has been very severe this week, and river communication is interrupted. White wheat (weighing 621 b. to 631 b.), fits. to 70s. • red ditto (weighing 601 b. to 631 b.), Me. to Ms. ; best m alting barley (weighing 52;1b. to 5341 b.), 50s. to 52e. • runs ditto (weighing 511 b. to 521 b.), 46e. to Oda. ; distilling ditto (weighing 491 b. to 501 b.), 365. to 40s. per quarter.

NOTTINGHAM, JAN. s.—There was a moderate quantity of wheat on otter from the growers, and the weather having been very seasonable during the past few days samples came to hand in decidedly improved condition. The demand was brisk and prices must be written Is. to 2*. per r. higher than but week. Old white aorta made Wis. to ; old red, 60s. to 675. ; new white, 645. to 725.'; new red, 565. to 625. pee 36 stone. The show of barley was about an average and the demand assumed a healthy tone, the best qualities being about Is. per qr. dearer ; other kinds not much altered. Malting 50s. to 5.55. per quarter ; grinding, 30s. to 3fo. per 30 stone. There was a middling show acute, which met a steady demand, and sales were made at the full currencies of last week ; old, 3 2 2. to 375. ; new, 245. to Ms, per 24 stone. Beans were in fair supply, but the trade was by no means active and late rates were difficult to support ' • old, 565. t0 60s. ; new, 45 5. . to 50s. per 38 stone. Peas brought late rates. Super Sour, .525. to 545. ; fine, 48s. to 50s. per 20 stone. oximai), JAW. s.—This market was not well at tended, uerng in a great measure to the very severe weather and deep fall of snow, which makes travelling in the country a somewhat difficult matter. Wheat was not in abundance, and as there was a demand for good sorts for present use the best samples realised quite 2s. per qr. more than last week. The finest samples of old wheat made 70s. Inferior samples ruled from 625. and upwards. New wheat was worth from 545. to 655. Barley of all kinds was quite as dear, quotations being from 325. to 505.; beans and peas commanded f or me r ra t es w ith a d eman d for choice old, prices being for old beam., 50s. to 545. ; new beans, 40s. to 465. ; hog peas, 425. to 445. ; boiling peas, 465. to :As. ; oats, 225. to 36a.; flour (seconds), 48s. per sack. PITIIIBOIIOOOI3, Jan. s.—Altboegh we had a good sup. ply of wheat here to-dey, prices advanced le. to 2a. p er qr. on the rates of last week. Barley and oats each la, per 41r. dearer. Beans and peas ready male at ths. per qr. over last week's prices. READING, JAN. s.—As may naturally be expected, the severity of the weather caused both a small attendance and short supply at our market to-day. The trains all being late, it was much after the usual time when business really commenced. Holders were firm in their demands for an increase in the prices, but a reluctance was shown by purchasers to accede to any advance. Those who were in immediate want were compelled to give in some instances Is., and in others 2s. per quarter more both for wheat and barley. There was not much inquiry for other kinds of cereals, and there was no perceptible change in the quotations. ROCHESTER, JAN. s.—Fair supplies of wheat were brought forward at this corn exchange, at which there was about an average attendance of the town and country trade. There was a rather brisk demand experienced for all superior lots of both white and red wheats, and all extra fine parcels were done at about Is. per qr. higher rates, operations being confined chiefly to best lots. The present quotations for best white wheat are 655. to 695. ; secondary, 625. to 655. ; and damp and inferior, 58e. to 625. per qr.; beat red wheat, 60a. to 635. ; secondary, VA, to flOs. ; and damp and inferior, 50s. to 56a. per qr. Only • small show of foreign wheat was at market, and with only a moderate demand best kinds brought rather higher rates. Little was done in flour, there being still large stocks on hand ; for extra i fine sorts fully late quotations were obtained, while a few of the best kinds were quoted at about gd. per sack higher rates. Barley experienced a rather better inquiry, and fine samples, chiefly for malting purposes, were very firm • for best k inds the terms are 46e. to 505.; and seconda ry 40e. to 465. per qr.; best grinding barley, 3 4 5. to ,; and other lots, 325. to 345. per qr. Superior old oats are more inquired after, and were the turn dearer; for best lots the terms are 26a. to 30a., and others 20a. to 265. per qr. Beans and peas about the same as before, with the demand chiefly in retail. The weather has been exceedingly severe, but indications are not wanting that the frost is about to break up. WISBECII, Jim 5. —We have a good supply of wheat at market to-day, which met an active demand at an advance of Is. to 2s. per qr. More inquiry for spring cam of all descriptions, and late rates in all cases exceeded. Prices to the grower:—Wheat, white, 645. to 675., 63113 e. per bushel; ditto, red, 634. to 65a. Oats, Is. 00. to la. ld. per stone. Woacarrea, Van. s.—At this day's market there was • fair supply of wheat from the farmers, which sold readily at an advance of fully 2a. per qr., whilst foreign was no dearer. Barley unaltered. Oats held for some advance. Beans and peas Is. per qr. lower. YORK, JAN. s.—The show of wheat at our corn market today was about an average for the time of the year. Buyers operated steadily at la. to 3. per qr. more money. NV bite aorta ranged from 56e. to 625. ; red, 50s. to 5146. per 36 stone. We had • moderate supply of barley, for which a steady demand took place. All good qualities were Is. per qr. dearer than heretofore ; for secondary lots prices were firm. Malting, 365. to 40s. per qr. ; grinding, 325. to 345. par 30 stone. There was a seasonable show of oats, which were taken off at little or no alteration from previous rates ; new, 225. to 26e. per 24 stone. The de. mend for beans was far from being brisk, but the best sorts maintained their value ; fine, 545. to 565. ; other kinds, 48e. to 525. per 38 stone. Malt, Otis. to 70s. ltye, 345. per qr. Flour, 45e. to 475. per sack of 280Ibs. WATERrOItD, JAN. s.—We are without any 1174•1111 to report foreign or coastwise, and of home-growth supplies have been very limited. As we anticipated in our last circular the trade herebas undergone • decided improve. meat ; the demand for all descriptions of grain is now on • pretty free scale, and any changes we have to-day to make on our former quotations are in favour of sellers. Wheat—For the beat varieties of foreign there is an extensive inquiry, and full rates are readily paid. Irish rather better. Barley is well bought up, grinding at la. per barrel improvement. In black oats • few tremolo. tions have taken place at slightly more money. Indian corn is again moving steadidy into consumption. An ad. vance since this day ae'nnight of about 2s. per barrel is required, but holders do not press sales even at present enhanced rates. Flour unaltered. Imports this week : Flour, 20 sacks. Exports this week :—Oats, 1,379 ; titer, 246 ; oatmeal, 54 sac. ACCIDENT AT THE STANDARD THEATRE. —OR Saturday, in consequence of the weight of the snow resting on the top of the circus on the site of the Standard Theatre, the central pole broke in two and the whole structure came to the ground with a terrible crash, but no one was injured. COLLISION ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. —A collision occurred on this railway early on Saturday morning last between two Manchester express goods trains. It appears that the first express goods left Grantham about 2.30 a.m., and proceeded as far as Newark, at which place it stopped for the engine to take water, although it was unusual for it to do so at Newark. The second express followed at an interval of ten minutes, and the driver, whose name is Hull, was warned of the immediate precedence of the first express goods; he however overtook it and dashed into the rear of the train, smaahing and over turning the trucks, and completely blocking both lines. Breakdown gangs were immediately telegraphed for from Peterborough and Grantham, and under the superintend. ence of Mr. Horuby one line was speedily cleared. The officials were, however, compelled to work tingle line the greater part of the day, thereby delaying the up-trains very considerably. Beyond a severe shaking both guards and drivers escaped unhurt. THE RAILWAYS AT BRADPORD.—The Midland Company have repaired the viaduct at Apperley, which was swept away in the late flood, by means of heavy iron girders, and the communication to Leeds and the south is now made complete. The Great Northern Company, until now, have been at a disadvantage in having their sta tion too far from the town of Bradford, and have just constructed a curve branch of nearly a mile, by which they are enabled for the first time to-day (Monday) to run trains in and out of the Lancashire and Yorkshire station. in the very centre of the town. All the lines have recently added very largely to their goods traffic accommodation.

FENIANISM IN IRELAND —Dt•RLIN, S tTURDAY NU:HT.—Thomas Kavanagh, at whose house in Westroad a quantity of arms and ammunition was recently found, was brought up on remand to-day, and committed by the magistrate for trial. At the commission some important documents, addressed to prisoner from the Wexford.road branch of the /riot People newspaper, were discovered con cealed in the arm-cases found in the house. The trial of Private O'Brien, of the Bth Regiment, by general court martial, at the Royal Barracks, commenced to-day. He is charged with desertion, re-enlisting under a false name, and with Fenianism. He pleaded guilty to the two first charges. He was not defended by any legal gentleman. Colonel Fielding acted as prosecutor, and observed in his statement that although there might he a difficulty in proving the prisoner took the Fenian oath, it would be proved he induced others to take it. Trial not concluded. Sr. ANDREW:4' DAY IN BOMBAT.—Sb, Andrew's Day was celebrated by the Scotch residents in Bombay by a public banquet. Upwards of MO gentlemen were re gent. The dinner seems to have been a great success, although not honoured by the presence of the governor, as had been anticipated ; but the commander•in-e.hief was present, and his manner of bearing on this his first public appearance in Bombay would appear to have created 3 favourable impression.
