The frost during Monday night and Tuesday lam Mug, though 'severe, was not so intense as on Sunday and Monday. At midnight on Monday and up to an early hour yesterday morning the thermometer at the receiving hoese in Hyde-pork stood at 19 deg., or 13 below freezing point, with the wind from the north-west. At noon yes teed ty it had risen 11/ high as 30, but at 6 o'clock last even ing it had fallen to Lt.', ' and was still falling rapidly. The ice on the Round Pond and the Long Water in Kensing tomprdens was very good anti firm ; that on the Semen tine in pinny parts very dangerous. The ice on the Serpentine, which was crowded with peo ple during the day, was very weak in many places, owing to the springs which abound there, and no less than 40 inuuersious took place, lAA none attended with fats! con sequences. About :; o'cleck, a Misr Walter fell through in the centre and was for mane minutes in great danger of losing her life. When rescued by the icemen she was taken into the receising-house iva must exhausk.d state, and at once placed in bed, and the usual restoratives applied. She was able to leave for home in the course of the evening. Four other serious cases of immersion were also attended to, viz., F. Dun, 3, Watfonl-street —W. Stevens, G. Lin coln and G. Smith. The other accidents reported were three remains suffering from concussion of the brain, and 12 from cut heath., Levels eil tin ough falls. The three first cases were taken to St. George's Hospital. The Long Water in Kensington-gardens and the Round Poud were visited, the former by 10,000 and the latter by 7,1510 persons during the day, without a single accident being reported. At both these places there were large number% of ladies skating, and in several :instances qua drille figures were gone through by the ladies and gentle men of the Skating Club. The ice in both the above pLteei was good, being fully three inches in thickness. In St. James's-park an immense number of persons were upon the ice during the day, and some immersions took place. (hue portion of the water near the Fowl Is land is but partially frozen m er, and Perry, the foreman iceman, in endeavouring to keep the people away from this tiam,eroui spot, vita laosAy attacked and maltreated by a gang of roughs and idle lads. No police-constable was there to rendo Lim aid, and he was compelled to run fur his life. So accidents aro reported from the waters in the suburban ',Arks and commons. The navigation on the I:iver Thames was totally sus pen,:e.l yesterday, owing to the immense quantities of in.• coating in the river. . . . . Ti,e works on the Thames embankment, at New Black friar,•bri.lge, awl at most of the large buildings ii. the utL:rol olis, are at a complete standstill. THE WEATHER IX SCOTLAND. EDlNiCUitt.:4„ TUESDAY NIGHT. The 'mail has come in to-nigla from Inveniess, howing that the Highland line is now clear. There has as 3.3 been lie cousiiiuuication with Aberdeen. The trains from the border are belated with snowfalls, but the routes are open. The weather is still frosty, with a tendency to snow. The grand curling match between North and South of Scotland took place to-day at Carsebreck, the first time tor three years. The South scored 1,8&i, beating the North by ABERDEEN, TUE.I)AT.NIGHT. Very little snow has fallen during the past '24 hours, and the hope is indulged that the storm has spent itself. There has Leen, however. no railway communication in any direc tion since last night's telegram, and it is impossible to say when the northern and Dania.: lines may be clear. The train with the London and south mail, despatched yester day afternoon, stuck, as reported, about eleven miles from Aberdeen, and still rents there ; the passengers made their way as est they could to Stonehaven, five miles further on. Two London and four Edinburgh mails are now due here, and all have coins to a stand at the same place-- Laurencekirk, some forty miles distant. Business men are touch put out by the existing deadlock. No news. papers whatever of the present week have reached Aber iloen, and there is consequently a sort of news' famine, the only public intelligence between this and London con sisting of the morning telegraphic extracts from the London papers. The weather to-night inclines to • thaw, and there is no wind. THE POOR-LAW BOARD AND THE CLERKENWELL CASUAL W.eaua.—At the weekly meeting of the guardians of the Clerkenwell Union, held bad evening, the following communication from the Poor-law Board was read by the clerk :—" Poor-law Board, Whitehall, Jan. 12, 1867.—Sir, I am directed by the Poor-law Board to inform the guar dians of the pour of the parish of St. James's, Clerkenwell, that the board have received front their inspector, M. Corbett, a report of the inquiry held by him on the 2nd inst. into the complaint preferred by Mr. John White 1 against William Taylor, night porter at the casual wards of the parish, of having, on the Zird ult., refused admis sion to two poor persons. The board have also received a copy of the evidcuce taken at the inquiry. The porter st ,tes that he refused admission to the persons referred to because he considered that they were not sober at the time when they applied for admiasion; and the fact that he called them in and examined them by the gas-light appears to show that he did not refuse them admission until he had taken steps to satisfy himself . on this point. He seems to have been satisfied by his inspection that they were in toxicated, and to have refused them admission on that ground. The board further observe that the police constable who was present when Mr. White brought the men Lack for admission states in his evidence, • I then thought and still think that the two men had been drink ing, and that WAS my reason for not supporting Mr. Wuate's application.' The board considers that the tenor of the whole evidence is such as to admit of very little doubt that the men were not sober when they applied for reed, and if they were intoxicated, the porter is not censurable for basing refused to admit them. The board, at the same time that they express this opinion, desire to impress upon the guardians the necessity of representing to Mr. Tayluellow necessary it is that he should WO the utmost caution before refusing applicants, and as to the manner in which be conducts himself towards persons who may apply to hint for the admission of such applicants. The board would urge upon the guardians the pro ?ratty of requiring the officer in charge of the casual wards to keep a book in which to enter • the i,-rouutl of refusal' in every case in which admission is refused, together with the mime and description of each such paupr, and the place whence he or shelest caane,and the pia', to which such person may he going. A sum mary of the particulars should be !Rid before the board of gnartlians at each weekly meeting, and if, in the mean time, no persons have been refused admission the fact should be stated in the book referred to. The board learn that this practice is pursued in other places, and is found to be of advantage both in preventing com plaints and in facilitating inquiry into complaints when mad-•.-1 am, Sc., Raise A. EARLE. Mr. H. Scargill, clerk to the guardians of the Clerkenwelltinion." —A guardian said it was satisfactory to And that the Poor-law Board bad for once given the guardians their due. He thought from what they had seen of the tory government that the longer they in office the better. The clerk was directed to place the letter on the minutes. MR. cW.lntEs nteri;N:rs Ite..edings by Mr. Dii hers sass •tow fur as a matter of course at this season of the year, and were they not forthcoming, there is no doubt that a large section of the public would be ;th:vortsly disappointed. For it cannot be denied that there is a strange fascination in hearing an author give dramatic life and form to his own Cr- and the fa.:cirr.o.lon is e•rtainly not dim!. uisheil when the author occupies such a hi g h position in general favour as Mt. Charles Dickens. '• Mugby JUGC- Lion; flout which his selections were made last night at the St. dan i ed'sdu e ll, is hut a miller contribution to the literature of the l'lu•istmas orison, Let it is the latest pro auction to which his name is appended, it is fresh in the recollection of the public. and it is still the subject of coin. ',sent and of conversation in the domestic circle. It was -cur. therefore, to eNcite interest, and to be listened to with as touch attention and as keen a sympathy as the author's most popular works could have Al OtISA. Mr. Dickens dindieidrs his nailing into two parts. The first in. dudes the ch. ptera in " Mugby Junction" headed'' lisr• boa Brothers " Broth.. • and Co.'• The second consists merely of the narrative it• which the exlw• riences of the Boy it Mugby an• related. To my tha:. Mr. Dickens reads these production, id, however, to convey a very imperfect lieu of the ir.t.apretation they reccive at his bands. It would be snore to the purpose to s:* that he recites them with dramatic intent . ..or and in a dramatic dpi. it. Nay, so careful Uhe that nothing shall be wanting to give them full effect, that he learns every• word beforehand, and seems to regard his book merely as a resource only to be rqqmiled to should memory fail. He is thus enabled to impart to hei embodiments of chime. ter the f..cial expression and the gestures which give them a inure instinct individuality and a more vital significance. The power of doing this he evidently possesses in such abundance that had he not been a populat author there can be but little doubt he would have chosen the stage for hid profession and become one of its brightest illustrations. In his reading of "lkirbo% Brothers," the character which stood out compicuons from the rest was unquestionably the honest. sitriple.hearted " Lamps " of Mugby Junction. As in his literary portrayals so in his dramatic, Mr. Dickens is thoroughly at home with eccentricity in humble life. "Limps," with his poetical tendencie-, his cheerful philosophy, and his tendency when agitated to give himself a " rounder,' that is, to rub his face with his oily handkerchief, was brought so to speak visibly before the audience. Every little feature which the author had delineated was reproduced by the reader, and had Mr. Diclsens put on fustian and really greased hid face, the portrait could scarcely have been more complete. The corair.encement of the second divi sion of the first narrative, where Barbel Brothers holds the dialogue with himself at the inn window and recalls the experiences of his past life, was given with much impressiveness, and the inno cent prattle of the lost child Polly was ren. dered with admirable effect. In the level passages of mere description Mr. Dickens's voice sometimes failed of its effect, from being pitched in too low a key. Some of the best passages in the work were thus only imperfectly beard by those who sat remote front the platform, a cir cumstance all the more to be regretted, because those who had seats more favourably situated were evidently favourably impressed by what they heard. Fortunately all were alike able to appreciate the concluding portion of the entertainment, " The Boy at Mugby." This was given with a distinctness of utterance and a breadth of hormone which directly appealed to every one present. As sentence followed sentence, laughter followed laughter, the whole room joining so heartily and with such good temper in the merriment, that the truth underlying the Mugby Boy's rather highly seasoned satire obviously met with general recognition. The hall, we may add in conclusion, was crowded in every' part, and throughout the evening Mr. Dickens received the most enthusiastic applause. THE HEALTH OF LONDON.—It appears from the return issued by authority of the Reg6trar-General that in the week that ended on Saturday, January 12, the births registered in Loudon and twelve other large toys= of Dm United Kingdom were 4,519; the deaths registered, .;,843. The annual rate of mortality was .12 per 1,0110 persons living. In London the births of 1,229 boys and 1,153 girls, in all 2,382 children, were registered in the week. In the oorresponiing weeks of ten years, 1857.66, tho average number, corrected for increase of population, was 2,086. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,891. It was the second week of the year ; and the average number of deaths for that week is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,720. The deaths exceeded the average by 171. The ezoess is due to the cold weather. South-west winds prevailed during the two last weeks of the year, with variable intensity, and the temperature was unusually mild ; a calm set in and fogs spread over the whole face of the country for three or four d ; then on New Year's Day the north wind sprang up after a calm, and on the following days min gled with the west, math, and east winds ; ten inches of snow fell on Wednesday (Jan. 2). and intense cold brought the temperature of the air down at night within a few degrees of zero at Greenwich, and lower elsewhere at the end of that week. The slow moving temperature of the Thames fell in six days from 43 deg. to 35 deg. in the day, and from 41 deg. to :11 deg. at night ; so that on January sth its waters were below the freezing point, and there re mained until January 7th, after which they gradually rose to 36 deg. on Saturday last. The effects of the cold are now visible in the returns, for instead of 1,436, and 1,437 deaths, as in the two preceding weeks, there appear on the registers of last week (.ffill death'. The change of temperature has killed about 453 people in London. Few were directly frozen to death ; the majority having vital force enough to struggle against the freezing cold, but not enough to prevent them from succumbing under bronchitis and other affections. The mortality varied with the powers of resistance, which is greatest about the age of puberty, and least in old age, when the lamp of life is fliekering. Thus the deaths above those in the last week of 1866 were 48 at the ages under 20; and 46 at the age 20.40; 113 at 40-60 ; 204 at 60-80 ; and 41 at the age of 80 and upwards, making in all 455. In inch weather to give tiro, food, and clothing is to give life. The annual rate of mortality last week wan 32 per 1,000 in London, and 33 in Edinburgh ; 23 in Bristol, 23 in Birmineharn. 36 in Liverpool, :et in Manchester, 39 in Salford, 32 in She ffi eld, 31 in Lea 's, 2/ in Hull, 42 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and 73 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 30 per 1,000 during the week ending the 29th ult., when the mean temperature was 17 - 4 deg. Fahren heit lower than in the same week in London, where the rate was 24 per 1,000. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.144 in. The barometrical reading decreased from 29.63 in. at the beginning of the week to 28.54 in. on Tues day. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 39.3 deg., which is 3.4 deg. below the average of the same week in 50 years (as determined by ltir. Welsher). The highest day temperature was 54.4 deg. on Monday. The lowest night temperature was deg. on Saturday. The entire range of temperature in the week was, there fore, 31.9 deg. The mean of the highest temperatures of the water of the Thames was 366 dew. ; that of the lowest was 33.3 deg. The difference between the mean dew. point temperature and air temperature was 4.1 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 83, complete saturation being represented by 100. Rain fell to the amount of 1.28 in. Snow fell on Saturday. The general direction of the wind was S.S.W. and N.W. ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. —An accident of • serious nature occurred on Monday evening last to the up Manchester express which is due into London at 8 p.m. Soon after the train passed the Clay pole-station, between Newark and Grantham, one of the axles of the tender snapped in twain, thereby causing the engine to leave the rails, together with several of the suc ceeding carriages. The guard's break-van and one car rier were overturned, and rolled down the embankment. Te.egraphie information was at once forwarded to Grant ham and Peterborough for assistance, and break-ilomn gangs immediately proceeded to the irpot. The up line was of course completely blocked, so that the officials were compelled to work all trains on the down line ; this wag successfully accomplished with but moderate delay to both up and down trains. In the meantime • special was despatched from Granthan. under the superintendence of Mr. Walker, station master, who was aocompanied ,by Dr. Shipman, the company's medical officer there, and upon examination it was discovered that one gentleman had got his leg broken and was otherwise severely brttioyi in endeavouring to make his escape from the carriage which was overturned. The guard, whose name is Bradley, was also much shaken and rather injured in the back, but not sufficient to preclude his removal by the next train to London. Several other passengers were shaken, but they proceeded on their journey. The gen tleman hurt, whose name we could not ascertain, was duly attended by Dr. Shipman and assistant, but was unable to proceed. It is presumed the intense treat, acting upon the metal of the axle, was the cause of the accident. Both driver and fireman escaped unhurt. CRYSTAL PALACE. ONE SHILLING DA Y. TuEsDAT, JAN. 15.

The Rev. W. L CLAY, one of the Lon. secretaries of the association, stated that the council wished it to be clearly understood that they regarded what they asked for in the memorial merely as a smell measure of temporary relief to meet urgent wants until some thorough and complete measure could he carried. Under the present system, there was only cue standard of schools for all the labouring classes, for the prosperous nrti•an and the man who had to pink up a precarious livelihood by chance work. Con• inclining that fully one-third of the cost of education was thrown on the parents, this was obviously hard. The poor children could not pay the fees. The Revised Code was making the matter worse. Since 1861 the annual grants had lessened by 70,0U0/., while the children in school Lad increased by upwards of 200,000. The deficiency was made up partly by larger subscrip- tions, chiefly by charging higher fees. Since 1861 the attendance at school had increased :at per cent., the subscriptions 2.1 per omit., and the fees per cent. In all quarters fees were rising, and it bad become neces sary for the government to be able to say to a certain number of schools, "Do not raise your fees ; " but to have the right to say so they must offer exceptional help to these schools. He then proceeded to show that the relaxations asked for in the memorial might be granted without any danger of inducing existing schools to lower their standard to get the relaxations, or of tempting away children able to pay from the higher class schools. Mr. SRLaNetr, honorary secretary to the Manchester Education Aid Society, said he could confirm the fact that the present system as administered under the Revised Code failed to renal the lower sections of the manual labour class. The experience of the Education Aid Society proved that a great proportion of the children were not at school in COll - luence of parents being unable to pay school fees. In a recent visitation among such families in Manchester and the sister borough, out of 8,427 children between three and 12 years of age not attending school, 4,021 were so front in ability of parents to pay the fees. The net average income of such families, after deducting rent, did not exceed 2s. per head per week, many being Is. rel. or la. per head. But scanty and precarious though the income was moat of these families /ere not so low as to be classed among vagrants and criminals. The numbers in this condition must be large. In Manchester and Salford there were fully 100,000 children of the school age. After making every allowance for those at work, kc., there remained not less than 20,900 to 40,000 wholly uneducated. A great pro portion of these belonged to the lower sections of the opera tive class, whose income was too small anti un certain to afford the cost of school. It was to be feared this was no recent matter. In confimation the educational condition of parent. and young people from 12 to 20 years showed the following results : Among 1,672 fathers, 465 were unable to read ; among 1,n57 mothers, 815 were unable to read ; among 1,660 young persons from 12 to 20 years of age, 752 were unable to read. In the course of further conversation, the Rev. G. H. WOW, the Rev. Charles Carr, and others instanced facts from their own experience, showing that there was a large Chin in London quite unable to pay even 2.1. a week for their children's schooling. His LoaDvmr, in dismissing the deputation, promised that although he and his colleagues were unable then to give any definite answer, yet that the memorial should receive their full consideration. CRYSTAL PA LACR COMPANY. — The following statement has been sent to the shareholder.' with the war rants for the past year's dividend :—" The directors sin cerely regret to have to make a statement to the proprie tors in reference to the recent disaster, by which a portion of the Crystal Palace was destroyed by fire, on Sunday, Dec. 30. The portion destroyed lay entirely north of the screen dividing the Tropical Department from the main building, and consisted of the north end and north trim sept of the Palace—containing the Queen's apartments, the Nineveh Court, the tropical plants, the Library, the col lection of naval and engineering models, and Indian ob jects. South of the north transept, also, a large pan of the Alhambra and Byzantine Courts were, unfortunately, much injured. The remaining eight of the Fine Art Courts, with the whole of that part of the Palace occupied by the exhibitors, and that in which the concerts and amusements take place, are entirely uninjured, and remain in their fanner state of safety arid efficiency. The directors have hail frequent meetings since the fire, and they now beg to acquaint the pro prietors that, acting under the advice of Mr. Edwin Clark, the eminent engineer, the most careful additional precautions have been taken to insure the safety of the entire building. In order to fortify and protect the northern end of the nave against the wind and weather, the existing canvas curtain has been strengthened by struts and cross-braces, and a solid timber screen is being rapidly erected a few feet north of it, which, when com pleted, will form an effectual protection to the building, pending the reconstruction of the portion destroyed. The Alhambra end Byzantine courts will be immediately closed in and protected from the effects of the winter till the time arrives for their repair. The whole of the damaged portion is undergoing careful investigation by Mr. Clark and all parts which can be preserved will be made good out of the debris , which will be carefully col lected and tested for that parpme. It will take some weeks to effect this, and to remove thetueless fragmentauf the building, so as to leave the ground clear for the work of reconstruction. It must be highly gratifying to the pro priettre to notion the deep and wide-spread feeling of sympathy with the palace which the recent misfortune has called forth from all classes of the community, from her Majesty downwards ; a sympathy which has not con fined itself to words, but has already brought many otters of objects to replace those destroyed, offers which, it is unnecessary to eiy, are gratefully received. The board fully concur in the public desire to re-erect the fabric, leaving the mode of filling the interior for later consider ation. It is probable that the re-erection will cost from 50,001/4 to 60,00 q/. The mode of providing for this out lay, and for that which may hereafter be considered advis able in respect of the restitution of the interior, is occu pying the anxious attention of the directors. Thebuilding en d its contents are insured for a sum of 30,000 i., the corn- I pany's claim on which, in respect of thedestmyed portion, amounts to over 33,0010. The proprietors will be pleased to know that the building has passed through the recent severe gales and fall of snow (the heaviest which it has yet experienced) in the most satisfactory manner, and without suffering any damage whatever."

The...e causes ',rune on upon two apnea IMinions from a decision of the Vice-Chancellor Stuart, and also upon motions for decree. The bill in the first mentioned cause stated that Mr. ]llnswell on the 11th of June, 18'd, registered at the Stationers'-ball his proprietorship of the magazine called Fkforaria, and in contemplation of the publication of that magazine he had made arrangements with Miss Brandon to conduct the editorial duties connected therewith. The intended publication was advertised, in the Ipercich Express of the 31st July, to appear in October. It was also advertised in the Times of September 13, and succeed ing days. The defendants, Messrs. Hogg, carry on business as publishers, at No. 9, St. bride's.-avenue, Fleet street, where they produce two monthly magazines, called L9to/oa Society, and r.r Mafia:inc. In the I:, 'lilt , / Slawlor.l of September 91 there was an. nounced a publication by Messrs. Hogg bearing the name of " Itilwaria, a Magazineof Fashion and Amusement, illus. trate') ; the first number just published. prhx.l s. Office, 9, St. Bride's-avenue, Fleet- tn'et, E.C." No previous announcc 'tient of their intention to publish the magazine called Bilorario had been issued. On the 2.lth of September, bade;, they published the liret 'neither of it, calling it Alyral . ; ,, . The bill tlim po. ayrel for all injunction to re strain the defendants (Mere's. llogg) from publishing their magazine as they had proposed, on the ground that it would do irreparable injury to the magazine intended to he published by the plaintiff'. The bill In the second cause stated that James H ogg. the younger son of the plaintiff in the suit of Hogg r. Maxwell, and one of the defend. ante in the first suit, caused his sister, E. H. Hogg, to be registered at Stationers'-hall as the proprietor of the copy. right, and himself as the publisher, of a work by the title of Belgroria, the copyright of which was then vested in the Messrs. Hogg, and asked for an injunction to restrain Mr. Maxwell from publishing, advertising for sale, or selling any magazine under the name of /3doro, in. The tirat number of Mr. Maxwell's magazine was published in October. Each of the registrations stated the day of publication to be the same as the day of registration, and each party admitted that, in that respect, his registration was inaccurate. It also appeared that Mr. Maxwell's publication was adver tised by the Messrs. Hogg in the most conspicuous part of the advertisements prefixed to the October number of the magazine called Loacto. Societe, and which was produced by them on the 26th of September. The Vice-Chancellor refused both motions on the ground that the registrations were false. From that decision the plaintiff. appealed. Mr. Dickinson, Q.C.„ and Mr. Swanston appftred an behalf of Mr. Maxwell ; and Mr. Greene, Q. C.; and Mr. Morris for the Messrs. Hogg. Their lot iships dismissed each bill with oasts. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—JAN. 13. Sittings in Banco.—(Before Lonl Chief Justice Bovill and Justices Willes, Keating; and Smith.) RIGBY AND ANOTHER C. PAKINGTON, The plaintiffs in this case were printers, and the defen dant was the son of the Hight Hon. Sir John Pakington. The defendant, in order to serve a friend, had consented to become a director of a company for covering some glebe land of the Vicar of Hampton with villa residences, and he was now sued for the cost of printing prospectuses of the company. The jury at the trial before Mr. Justice Keat ing found a verdict for the plaintiffs.

He also contended that the defendant had done nothing which would render him personally liable ; and that in deed there was no evidence at all to go to the jury to fix the defendant with liability. The Lord Chief Justice said that if there was any evi dence for the jury there could be no doubt in a case of this kind which way the verdict would he on a second trial, and therefore it would be useless to grant a rule upon the ground that the verdict was against the weight of evidence. Upon the question of law, whether there was any evidence for the jury, there would, however, be a rule.

Edward Phillip Daslatywd ArtAy, who was brought up on a habeas on the 14th December, and remitted to Can terbury Gaol, where be was then ndergoing a term of im prisonment for another offence, was brought up in custody of Wolff, 11$ F, one of the warrant officers of the court, for final examination and committal, on the charge of obtaining a sum of 1007. by false pretence., and by to a letter and receipt purporting to be written by Ilts. Chisholm. Mr. Poland, instructed by Mr. Pollard from the Trea sury Solicitor's othoe, prosecuted. The warrant-officer, Wolff, stated that he apprehended the pri.oner as ho was leaving the gaol on his discharge. Mr. Poland said he should ask for three commitments for obtaining money by false pretences :—First, from the Lords of the Treasury ; godly, from the paymaster, and ;Irdly, from Megan. Grindley and Co., the agents ; also for a commitment for forgery. The prisoner, who offered no defence, was committed upon all these charges to take his trial at the Central Criminal Court. 80,UTHWAIIX. Mr. Jacob Julian, the London manager of the Royal Liver Frii.ndly Society, established at L•vorpool, and whose offices are at 9 New Bridge-street, BLickfriars, was summoned before Mr. Woolrych by Mari* Clark, relict and representative of Dennis Clark, a deceased member, for refusing and neglecting to pay her the sum of 10/. due to her from the funds of the society, and to show cause why the magistrate should not appoint arbitrators to de cide on the said complaint. The complainant said she was the widow of Dennis Clark, who for many years was a constable in the M di vision, but a short time ago pensioned off by the Commis sioners of Police. Unfortunately ho died on Sunday, the 6th instant. Ile had been a member of the Royal Liver Friendly Society since last October twelvemonths, paying a contribution of 2d. a week for a sum of 10/. at death. On the Saturday previous to his death she paid all the ar rears due to the society, amounting to Is. 10d., which was received by the collector, who called and marked on the card. When application was made to the defendant, he not only refused to pay the amount, but to call arbi trators. She accordingly made application to his worship, and the present summons was granted. In answer to the defendant, she said she knew her hus band was le. 10d., or 11 weeks in arms: on the Saturday previous to her husband's death,but when she paid that sum to the collector, he told her it would be all right. Mr. Woolrych here asked the defendant why he did not call an arbitrator to settle this dispute. Mr. Julian mid there was no dispute requiring arbitra tion, as the deceased was eleven weeks in arrear the day before his death. The rules set forth that any member being in arrears six consecutive weeks was out of the benefits of the society until the expiration of four weeks afterwards, and the arrears reduced under the six weeks. He handed his worship the rules of the society, and the deceased member's card, to support his statement. Mr. Woolrych —But your collector received the arrears. lie supposed that money went into the funds of the society ? Defendant replied that it had been received, and if Mrs. Clark had made a proper application to him, her ease would have been attended to. Mr. Woolrych observed that the poor woman told him that she had made an application, and it had been re fused. She was a very Ivor woman, and hardly able to cope with such an extensive society. The defendant said that they always acted fair to all their members and their representatives, and had Mrs. Clark made an application to him in the proper way he should have sent it to the directors at Liverpool, who would have investigated her claim, and most likely have made her a grant of a sum not above St. He assured his worship that no applicant had been refused. Mr. Woolrycb, on looking over the rules, said that it wan clear the dot:eased was out of limits, and not entitled to the claim made by the widow. It was a hard aim for the poor woman, and he thought the society should do some thing forher, all the society had received all the premiums. Some irregularity had been made by the deceased as well as the collector in paying and receiving the money, there- fore he thought the case should be considered. The defendant assured his worship that be would con sider her application as made, and would forward it imme diately to the board of directors at Liverpool, and he had no doubt she would be liberally treated with. The summons, under these circumstances, was adjourned for a week. HAMMERSMITH. Mom Whetter, whore face bore marks of recent injury, was placed in the clock on a twofold charge. Sergeant Ryden, of the T division, informed the magis trate that on the ^Jith day of December last, acharge was preferred against the prisoner for indecently assaulting • girl while riding in a third class carriage on the Metro politan Railway. IThen nearing the Hammersmith station, the prisoner jumped out of the train on to the line, through which be received severe injuries to his face, and he had been in the West London Hospital up to that day. The girl now declined to appear against him, and the only charge to be heard wu that of leaving the train while in motion. Mr. Ingham supposed that charge would not be pressed, u be had been sufficiently punished by the injuries be had received. Inspector Daniels, on behalf of the railway company, said the infliction of a nominal penalty would be sufficient, as there was no desire to press the care sc. erely. Mr. Ingham said, that as there was no lower to appre hend for such an offence, the inspector would have to pro ceed by summons. Inspector Daniels said, in that case he would let the charge drop. Mr. Ingham then addressed the prisoner, and told him that jumping out of a train in that way, when there was almost a certainty of there being an accident, was very abominable, for an action might have been brought BANKRUPTCI ANNULLED.

In this difficulty they applied to the London General Omnibus Company, whose omnibuses, constructed to carry 26 pas 'eagers, besides the driver and conductor, weigh only xi cwt. A visit has been paid to the works of the latter company by one of the directors and the manager of the coach factory of the Perim company, which has resulted in the purchase and shipment to Paris of a London omnibus, constructed, written, and complete in every particular for the London streets, at the coach factory of the Loudon Gener..l Omnibus Company, to serve as a model. Nsw QUEINSLAND LAND REGULATIONS.—To encourage the settlement of farm lands in the colony, an act has been passed by the Queensland legislature enabling persons to lease from 30 to 2,:i60 acres on the following terms:—Any of the country lands which are fiequently being put up to auction beyond the distance of two miles from the boundary of any town or village, at an upset price of 20s. an acre, if not sold at the auction or by selec tion within 30 days after being offered at auction, will be leased t , first amrlicant at an annual rent of 2s. 1k!. an acre, paid in cash or emigrant's land orders, the eighth payment to secure the full purchase of the land; after which a deed or grant in fee simple will be issued by the government. This is specially intended, and will no doubt have the effect of encouraging the settlement of sheep farmers with limited means, as well as of agrionl turista, on the extensive and fertile Lands throughout the colony. The extent of the new colony of Queensland is nearly twelve times that of England and W.len flabal nub' aitlitarp. A i .1:ALI JAN. lo. —Al PoINTMENTs. : i111)- Lieutvumn F. L. Reece. to the Achilles.

Some barge offers have been made at prices too low to meet with acceptance, but they indicate an opinion on the part of buyers that values have declined to a point o which operations are more feasible than they have been They also show that there are orders in the market. Cop yarns for the home trade are rather lower in price. Tr ere is more disposition in some quarters on the part of b . iyem to do business at the reduction. In the cloth market we have hardly had a flatter day during the last six months. quotations are lower than List week, and there is a tee. deny to a still further decline. There is a complete absence of demand. The difficulties between employers and operatives in the South Lancashire district appear to have been solved.

This fact is, no doubt, attributable to the continuance of the exoeciiingly cold weather. Plain cloths have not been in large request ; few parcels of importance have changed hands.
