DESTITUTION AT LIVERPOOL —The prevailing hard weather in Liverpool, combined with • long con tinuance of east winds, has not only inflicted great hard. ships upon the numerous poor in the town, but has thrown some thousands of dock labourers, stonemasons, and others out of employment, and the destitution amongst the working classes has consequently grown to an alarming point. It appears that there are now between 4,000 and 5,000 inmates in the workhouse, and several of the wards are overcrowded, while throughout the town at large the daily recipients of relief number upward. of 20,000. At the last meeting of the Liverpool Health Committee it was suggested that some employment might be given by that body to the people who are out of work, but it was urged in reply that such a course was without the province of the committee, and that on a previous occasion when such a plan bad been tried it had cost the town upwards of :1,000/., while theaversge proceeds from the work of each poison was at the rate of 10d. for each expended. The chairman of the committee remarked that the committee had on hand, however, spades, pickaxes, and other tools for about 1,000 men, which they would gladly lend gra tuitously to any b ody who might desire to give the requisite employment. To-day a meeting of cotton brokers and others is to be held on the Exchange, to devise measures for the more prompt and efficient alleviation of the wants of the suffering population. THE LIVERPOOL COTTON BROK ERA AND THE RULE OP PATMENT.—For some time past there has been much discussion with reference to the present manner of payments for cotton, and a resolution passed at the meet ing of the Liverpool Cotton Brokers' Association yesterday was to the effect,—" That it be a recommendation to the various associations with whom we have been in com munication on the subject of payments of cotton, that on and after the first day of March next the terms of pay ment shall be—' Payments in ash within 10 days, lege per cent. discount ; and that interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum be charged or allowed when the payment is made before or after the due date of invoice. , " It is fully believed that althoughthe Brokers' Association have complied with the expressed feeling of the spinners the general opinion is against the resolution which has been ea auditmly carried.

The Etesdard says that no change will take place among the members of the cabinet. The France, referring to the above rumours, says :—" We believe these statements to be in the main correct. Nothing, however, appears to have yet been definitively resolved upon."

In the early morning there were two or three degrees of frost, but it thawed in the day time, and the streets are now sloppy and disagreeable. There must have been a much larger fall northwards for no London mails were in up to a late hour this afternoon. In the south of France the snow has been phenomenal. A notice issued by the Post-office states that com munication is completely cut off between Lyons and Marseilles, and on all the branches of the railway south of Lyons. An attempt is making to send letters from Lyons to Avignon by the Rhone, but the Meniteur hints a doubt whether the bad weather may not frustrate the execution of the intention to substi tute water for railway communication as the only possible section of the line to the south of Lyons. The high roads are of course, still more impracti cable than the railways. The Moniteur states that although it is hoped the line between Paris and Marseilles may be clear by the 18th, orders have been given for more caution, that the departure of the packet with the Indian mail shall be delayed till the arrival at Marseilles of the train leaving Paris at 7.48 evening on the 18th. There must be some mistake in this announcement, because the train which takes both the English and French Indian mails does not leave Paris till 11 a.m. onl the 19th of every month. A telegram from Hazebrouck, dated this day, states that the snow has prevented the trains run ning between that town and Calais. Imperial advocate Chevrier yesterday delivered' his summing up in an important case, the hearing of which has occupied the Tribunal of First In stance for several days. The committee of the Uni venal Exhibition took it for granted that they had a monopoly of the right of printing catalogues of the Universal Exhibition, and they delegated the sup posed right for a large sum of money to M. Dentu, the eminent publisher of the Palais Royal. Sub sequently MM. Lebigre-Duquesne announced by advertisement their intention to publish a private catalogue, with which would be incorporated a great deal of information likely to interest visitors to Paris. M. Dentu, finding an intention to in fringe upon his monopoly thus boldly announced, took the matter up at first with • very high hand indeed. He instituted • criminal pro secution against MM. Lebigre-Duquesne be fore the Tribunal of Correctional Police for the novel offence of an anticipatory in fringement of his copyright, and seized in their offices several lithographic designs intended to illus trate the forthcoming free catalogue. He was com pelled, however, upon better advice to abandon the prosecution, which had not a legal leg to stand upon, and two subsidiary questions in the now pending cause are, Ist, whether Dentu is not liable to damages for hi s criminal prosecution ; and 2nd, whether his civil action for the same cause is maintainable, when, without the consent of the defendants to his nolte. prosequi, he has not brought that prosecution to trial. The main question now before the court is whether the Imperial Commission, in the absence of any statute thereunto empowering them, has a right to prevent the public from compiling a catalogue of the public Universal Exhibition now about to be opened I In attempting to prove the affirmative of this proposition, the Imperial advo- I cate seems to me to have a very up-hill task. In the absence of any express law, he relied upon pre cedents very wide of the mark. One of these was a letter from Mr. Sandford, secretary to the London Universal Exhibition of 1862, stating that there was but one catalogue in London, that the right of the committee to the " copyright " of it, and to the exclusive sale " within the walls of the Exhibition" was never contested, and that in his opinion any attempt to infringe the tights of the authorised edition would have been repressed by a Court of Chancery injunction. This precedent does not meet the present case. No doubt the " copyright " of the official catalogue would have been protected ; and no doubt the police of the managers of the Exhibition had a right to regulate sales within the building. But if any visitor chose from memory or observation to publish a private catalogue, I cannot believe there was any law to prevent him. The Imperial advocate, while ear nestly hoping that the court would agree with him, betrayed evident doubts lest the tendency in I France to mistake decrees for laws, may not have I misled the Committee's protlig4, M. Dentu. Judg ment to be given this day week. M. Marc Fournier, the manager of the Porte St. Martin, has announced to the surviving sister of Mddle. Georges that he intends, out of respect to , the memory of that illustrious actress, to give an annual performance for the benefit of her personal representetive. He guarantees that this benefit shall produce a minimum of 2,400 f., and undertakes to pay an annuity to that amount in advance. As an , earnest he encloses a cheque for the first monthly instalment of 200 f. This is an act of princely f munificence on the part of a private individua l. 1001. a year, so difficult—necessarily so difficult— to be got as a literary pension from a royal fund provided by parliament, is given here by a minor , theatre to an unheard-of sister of an actress who left the stage a quarter of a century ago. A hard nut to crack for those who think deco rations conferred by courts a teat of merit is, that while M. Ingres, the illuatrious painter, had the ' respectable number of five, M. Paulin Limayrac, the government writer in the Constitutketnet, has twenty-ail. Hy the way, Imperial Advocate Chewier lugged into his speech on the question of ' the Nadu catalogue a high-flown compliment to M. laves, which is worth quoting as a specimen du genre. He spoke of _Lex Schaffer, Paul Debi roche, and Eugbne Delacroix. as Mastrions dead who within the last few hours have been joined by one far more illustrious—that demi-god of con tempscary painting now gone back to the serene regions of Olympas, from which to look M his works one might doubt whethig he had ever descended.

After the fall of snow which commenced about midnight on Thursday, and continued until an early hour yesterday morning, the biting northerly wind almost departed, leaving the temperature much milder, although the thermometer at the Receiving-house regis tered 25 degrees only during the night and up to nine o'clock yesterday morning. After that hour it gradually rose, until at noon it had reached 33k, but again gradually decreased, and at nine o'clock last night it stood at 31, or 1 degree below freezing point, with a slight wind from the north-west. The following is the official report from the various parks: On the Serpentine the ice is in _good condition, being from 3j to 4 inches in thickness. There were 10,000 per sons on during the day, without any casualty having occurred. Last night at 9 o'clock there were about 2,090 persona on the ice, either skating, walking, or sliding, with a bright and clear moon. The banks were crowded with People. On the Round-pond, Kensington, the ice is also in good condition, 31 inches thick. About 6,000 persons on during the day, without any casualty. On the Long-water the ice is sound, and of the same thickness as above. About 7,000 persons on during the day, and no casualties. In St. James's-park the ice in many parts is dangerous. Upwards of 7,000 persona on during the day. There were 15 immersions, and 11 persons badly cut from falls. These cases were all attended to by Dr. ?Vegan. About three o'clock in the afternoon, Robert Trowbridge, • private. in the Scots Fusilier G uards, had • severe fall, resulting in concussion of the brain, and about the Mlle time John Sheppard, of 3, Burnham-street, Plaistow, fell while sliding, and fractured his knee joint. Both these oases were attended to by Dr. M'Cann's assistant, and the former oonveyed to the Military Hospital, and the latter to Westminster Hospital. No skating was allowed in the Regent's-park. A large number of persons were on the waters in the Battersea and Victoria-parks, the ponds at Hampstead-heath and Clap ham-common, without any casualties taking place. The navigation of the river Thames has been partially opened for lighters towed by steam tugs. CITY WARD AND NATIONAL SCHOOLB.-011 Thursday evening the distribution of the prizes to the successful candidates from the Ward and National Schools in the City took place in the hall of Sion College.

The examination lasts from 9 a.m. to 4 or 3 and comprises written papers of questions on scripture, arithmetic, geography, English history, gram mar, Lc., as well as an oral examination in scripture and spelling. The examinations, both written and oral, are conducted by the clergy of Sim College. At the last exa mination in December over 60 candidates were present. Of these seven were placed in the first class and received valuable books, also the six best in the second class. The prize boys in c lass 1 were :—David Williams, Baldwin's gardens, Holborn, 563 marks ; James East, St. Peter's, Bethnal-green, 543 marks ; Herbert Anderson, Baldwin's gardens, 496 marks; John Green, St. John's, Limehouee, 456 marks ; F.

Schneider, the celebrated Belle Wine of the Varietal; Theatre, and Mlle- Silly, the scarcely less celebrated Orate, have at last, after playing together on the same stage for two hun dred nigbts,come to • fierce quarrel,almostad unours,upon • subject familiar to all who listen to the gossip of the enalisees.

[STAMPED, IS. THE REGENTS PARK ACCIDENT. RECOVERY OF FIVE MORE BODIES. When the business of searching for the dead was resumed yesterday morning, an almost blind- I ing shower of snow was falling. The night's frost bad covered the water already cleared with a thin sheet of ice ; but this was easily and speedilY broken up, and the grapnels were I once more scouring the bottom of the lake. I The bodies of a youth and a stout built man I were recovered before noon, and it was stated that ; a third bad slipped front the hooks before it could be drawn to the surface. 4n itinerant band of , musicians were playing at the end of Sussex-place as the corpse of the man was carried along the road, and the clangour of their instruments could not but ' Hr harshly upon the ear at such a moment I appily there were comparatively but few wit- I newer of this incongruous incident, as the crowds bad not yet nrrired, owing no doubt to the cheer- I less and unpromising ,appearance of the weather. I Later in Doe ' day, however, the snow-charged , clouds srefe dispelled by the warm rays of the sun, and the result was a great accession to the number of spectators, com posed fag the: most .part of working men, many of whom were evidently devoting their dinner-hour to the visit. About thin timq the bodies of two adults were found lying together within a short I distance of the island near *hich the disaster hap- t paned, and where the water, it was said, rs ,not more than four or five feet deep. They were dragged into the same boat ; and upon being conveyed away to the workhouse on separate stretchers were followed, as on the preceding days, by a mob of the morbidly curious, in the hope of passing through the dead-house before any recognition conld take plow. Shortly after these two had been recovered the body of a youth was fished up, close to the spot where the grapnel had failed in the early part of I , the day. The search was continued up to dusk, but none others were found. It may be mentioned I that the position of the stiffened arms of most of the poor victims of this sad affair shows that they ' must have perished after a long and terrible struggle to balance themselves on : 0 11:g pieces of ice. The names of the d ;=kna whose bodies were found _yesterday are Glenfile aged 15, of 18, Francis-street, Tottenham-court-road ; James Jobson, 35 painter, 49, William-street, Albany-street ; Samuel Holley, 20, wood turner, 98, Bolsower-street ; William Ro bertson 40, 24, Stanhope-street Hampstead-road; and H a rold Giles, 16, 76, St. Paul's-road, Canon bury. This list makes the nuniber recovered from the water amount to forty. A labourer, named Edward Crook, aged 40, who resided at 49, Cale donian-road, has been traced by his wife to the Mid dlesex Hospital, whither he was carried after being rescued on Tuesday in an exhausted state, and where he afterwards died. The number of . ascertained victims is therefore 41. Notice has • been given to Mr. Douglas, the master of the work house, of a number of persons who have been mis- U sing since Tuesday Ten of these are known to have been, if not on the ice, at least in the park , the time of the accident ; and one of the in ; formanta, a lady named Edgerton, residing at Haverstock-hill, states that she saw her two sons ' fall beneath the water to rise no more when the ice suddenly broke op. The office of Woodsand Forests have undertaken the duti of dragging the lake, and it seems to be left to the park-keepers and • moms of the Humane Society's men, who statethat ' with the small means at their command they have ' now searched three-quarters of the space over which the disaster spread itself. - It has been stated thht• ir• largo ifteltietrtaver • dog, which had last seen its master on the ice on Tuesday, would not leave the banks of the lake, ;:and rejected all offers of food. Yesterday the faithful animal was seen during the greater part of I the day pacing regularly to and fro on the north eastern bank. It attracted the attention of persons assembled to witness the dragging process, and received many a kindly pat. At the weekly meeting of the guardians of the Marylebone Union, held yesterday, Mr. Charles Beevor, the chairman of the board, presiding, the following resolutions were unanimo usly adopted : "That this board desires to record its unalified ap proval of the prompt energy and discretion dl shiyed by the master and matron on the occasion of the late lamentable accident in the Regent's-park, and to acknowledge the pest skill and kind attention of Dr. Randall and Mr. Fuller, to whom several of the survivors were indebted for the preservation of their lives, and to express its gratifica tion at the great zeal and energy displayed by the whole staff of the bouse."—" That the board desires to record its recognition of the admirable services rendered by a large body of the police force on the occasion of the late cala mity, not only in the park, but also in the workhouse, where their active assistance proved to be of the utmost value."—" That a committee be appointed to consider the best mode of acknowledging the services rendered by the officers of the workhouse in the emergency."—"That copies of each of the resolutions be engrossed on vellum, and pre sented to the respective officers." DEPUTATION FROM THE ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY TO THE HOME SECRFTARY. A deputation from the committee of the Royal Hu mane Society yesterday waited by appointment upon the Right Hon. Mr. Walpole, at the Home-office, with reference to the serious accident and loss of life on the ornamental waters in the Regent's-park. Mr. BAKER, the treasurer of the society, explained that the object of the deputation was to represent to the right hon. gentleman that the Royal Humane Society were practically powerless in preventing accidents beyond cautioning the public when they deemed the ice unsafe, and that really their province wasconfined to the objects of collecting and circulating the most approved and effectual methodsfor recoveringpersoos appareutlydrowned or dead; of suggesting and providing suitable appa ratus for, and bestow rewards on, those who assist in the preservation and restoration of life. Under these oil.. cumsnuices, the deputation would venture to suggest . that the Home Secretary should institute such measure' as lie might deem judicious to prevent persons from going upon those parts of the ice which should be pronounced unsafe. The society had no power and no wish to obtain power. to inter fere with the free action of the public, but recommended that the Home Secretary, in conjunction with the proper authorities, might with the late sad acci dent before them arrange for the safety of the public by reducing the depth of the water and mud both in the Regent's-park and the Serpentine, in which latter sheet of water it was represented that there was a maximum depth of 13 feet of water, and several feet of mud under it, the mud having been the cause of many lives being lost which would otherwise have been saved by the society's men, as the victims were completely smothered in the mud. If an arrangement were made which would give a maximum depth of eight feet in summer and five feet in winter, clear of all mud, not only would fatal accidents in winter be prevented, but the ornamental waters would be more enjoyable and' healthy in summer ; whereas at present they were, in the summer season, very noxious to the public. Several other members of the deputation having spoken to the above effect, Mr. WALPOLE expressed his deep regret at the late acci dent and his intention to give the suggestions of the depu tation his careful and earnest consideration, with the view of determining on such measures as might, with the least possible interference with the free action and enjoy ment of the public, tend to the preserve them from danger, and from a recurrence of such a frightful accident as that which had just occurred. After some further remarks from the deputation, they retired, thanking the right hon. gentleman for his courtesy and attention. ST. GEORGE THE MARTYR, LINT-STREET, SV!tDAY RAGGED SCHOOL. On Thursday evening telo parents .of the children attending the above school were invited to the annual entertainment which the teachers give at this season of the year. They were regaled with an excellent tea, after which the superintendent, Mr. Tait, who pre sided over the meeting, called upon the Rev. Mr. Newton to open the proceedings with a short address. During the evening the Misses Rates and Trotman performed on the piano, which was received with great applause. Anthem., glees, and recitations were given by the teachers, which gave great satisfaction. The Rev. Mr. Randle moved a vote of thanks to the teachers, which was seconded by Mr. Potts. A powerful address was then delivered by Mr. R. J. Searle. Prayer and praise concluded the entertain. meat. [TWOPENCE .01u0tc. SACRED HARMONIC SOCIITY. The performanoe of liandel'a Israel ise Egypt, given by this society last night, drew • crowded audience , in spite of the deterring influences of the weather. The performance was such as can only be heard from such resources, choral and instrumental, so those at the command of the Sacred Harmonic Society. The " Hailstone " chorus, the most popular but by no mesas the beet of the aeries, met with the usual encore; and most of the other choral moverr ents, especially that grand climax, " The horse end his rider," produced the mine profound impreasacu' a which must ever result from sack music, when efficiently performed, however often bawd. A most important feature in last night's coneert wee Mr. - • Sims Reeves's performance of the principal tenor music ; smell in quantity, but all-important ea an element of the general effect. In the very trying air, " The sew said," Mr. Reeves sang with that grand declamatory style and thorough command of the difficult pampa of vocalises tion that no capabilities can realise without laborious study. Yet we sometimes find such music attempted by an aspiring tenor who actually cannot execute a single scale panne correctly. In the short recitatives, too, " For the house of Pharaoh,"suid " And ICniam the prophetess," Mr. Reeves proved what forte and oignifieenee can be given by declamatory and elocutionary art to a few simple notes. Mr. Reeves's reception wee lOW enthusiastic, end the demand for a repetition of the sir above specillell so persistent as to interfere for some moments with the progress of the next pins. Mr. Reeves, however, contented himself with bowing him acknowledgments—a practice which we would gladly moo universally followed by public performers. The soprano and contralto solos were most efficiently given by Mies Banks, Miss R. Header ' son, and Madame Sainton•Dolby. The tenor solos not assigned to Mr. Reeves were smoothly sung by Mr. Montem Smith, and the great duet for two basses, "The Lord is a man of war," with its passages in imitative rivalry, admirably declaimed by Mr. Weiss and ISignor Foli, and encored. Judas fllaccaotrus is to be given on February 1, when Mr. Reeves is again to appear. The prospectus of the Musical Society of London, recently issued, promises well for the coming season of that institution. The trials of new orchestral compositions which have been held during past years are judiciously discontinued ; by which change a large expenditure will be saved, and (to judge by experience) no new work of the slightest value is likely to be lost. There are to be trials of chamber compositions, choral practices, and lectures ; in addition to the usual four grand orchestral concerts, with (u before) Mr. Mellon as conductor. There is every reason to believe that the orchestral performances of this society will maintain that excellence which, during former seasons, has given them a specially high position among London concerto A concert is announced to take place on March 2, at the Hanover-square rooms, in aid of the Building Fund of the Female School of Art. The orchestra of the " Wan dering Minstrels" is to assist on the occasion, conducted by the Hon. Seymour J. G. Egerton. The long list of patrons and patronesses, headed with the name of her Majesty, coupled with the excellent educational object is view, should ensure a substantial result in furtherance of the scheme. WORKING MEN'S EXCURSION TO THE PARIS EXHIBITION. The members of the working men's clubs in London having, in September last, formed • committee, under the presidency of Mr. A. H. Lewd, M.P., to enable working men to vWt the Paris Exhibition, a meeting was held on Thursday evening, at the Working 's Club and Institute Union, 150, Strand, to receive a report from Mr. Hodgson Pr att • member of the Union CounciL He had undertaken to visit Paris for t;Er glee aseertainipg whet smumms could be Ao enable the ex cants so see the Exhibition at a m te cost. He stated that through the kindness of our ambas sador, Lord Cowley, he had had an interview with the president of the Exhibition conunisaion ' 11. Le Play, Councillor of State, who expressed the warmest in terest in the proposed visit of English workmen, and stated that they should have the full advantage of whatever arrangements might be made to facilitate the visits of French workmen from the provinces. He added that a commission had been appointed for the special pur pose of enabling workmen to obtain board and lodging on moderate terms, as well as to obtain as much benefit as possible from their visit to the Exhibition. Through the kindness of Count L Hugo and Dr. Louis, Mr. Pratt ob tained an introduction to the President of this second Commission " For the Study of Labour, and the Encourage ment of Workmen." This gentleman, M. Devinck, late President of the Tribunal of Commerce, and formerly a representative for Paris, promised moat cordially that he would do everything in his power to assist the English excursionists, and that nothing would give him more plea mire than having an opportunity of showing his high regard for the workmen of this country. At his invitation Mr. Pratt attended an important meeting of this commission, when he was introduced to the several distinguished mem bers of that body, M. Devinck informing him publicly, on behalf of his colleagues, that whatever facilities they could provide for French workmen should be afforded qsally to foreigners. The commissioners then proceeded to consider what steps should be taken to enable working- men visitors to obtain their meals in the Exhibition at the lowest price compatible with due regard to quality, and • contract was concluded for this purpose, as well as for the erection of refreshment-rooms to accommodate 2,000 sitters. It was stated that an excellent dinner would be supplied for about a franc, as well as other meals. The more difficult question of providing sleeping accommoda tion is now under the consideration of this commission, and the secretary (31. Deavernay) has kindly promised to inform Mr. Pratt of the result of their deliberations. There is reason to believe that the government is prepared to ren der most liberal assistance in this respect, and to provide accommodation for workmen at • merely nominal charge. Mr. Pratt also made careful inquiries as to the accom modation which might be obtained from private persons, and with this object he visited many of the suburbs, placing himself in communication with hotel keepers, house proprietors, and others. It appeared to him that, considering the very great difficulty of arranging for the accommodation of large bodies of visitors going simultane ously, it would be desirable to lent several fiats or suites of rooms, unfurnished, for • period of three or four months, and to render them available for parties of from thirty to fifty persons coming weekly, and remaining a week—the period selected being after midsummer, when prices will probably be lower. This plan met with general approval in Pans ; and as the proprietors of houses now ready would not let for so short • term, it was thought desirable to seek for the proprietors of houses now in coarse of construe. tion, but which will be ready by midsummer. Apartments in such houses could be had at moderate terms, and Mr. Pratt is in correspondence with two building com panies on the subject. It will be easy to hire beds and furniture for these rooms at a small cost. As at present advised, Mr. Pratt believes that accommodatiOn could thus be obtained at about fist • week for each parson, bat he is not prepared as yet to speak . positively on as point. He proposes to return to PAM in March for the puni.oee of learning exactly the nature of the an angements made by the authorities for the accommodation of foreign workmen, and of concluding such definite agreements with house proprietors and others as the committee may desire. The meeting concluded with • hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Pratt for the labour and expense incurred, and with resolutions expressing the gratitude of the com mittee to Messieurs Le Play and Devinck for the very kind interest which they had shown in the proposed ex cursion of English workmen. Members of clubs and others proposing to visit the Exhibition are invited to apply to Miss Horsbrugh, the treasurer ; or to Mr. W. 0. Pock lington, the secretary to the committee, at the offices of the Working Men's Club and Institute UlllOll, 150, Strand. THIS MIDNIGHT MEETING MOVEMENT.-011 Wed medal' evening a meeting was held at Woolwich. Notwith standing the inclemency of the weather sixty poor out casts were present. The following minister and gentle men took part in the proceedings of the evening :—Cap tain Browne, of the Royal Arsenal, Captain Mete, CUD. tain Gardiner, Rev. Balgarnie, and Rev. G. Small. Four girls were brought to town the same evening snit placed in a home ; and applications are being made daily by others to be rescued from their wretched course of life. CRICKET MATCH ON THE ICE AT NOTTINGHAM Yesterday afternoon a cricket match was played on a sheet of ice near the Trent, by the members of the Nate Count Cricket Club. The men wore skates, and the match crested considerable interest. Sides were chosen, and some very exciting play followed, Butler, on Br. vsn's side, running up the excellent score of ;Z. A very extraordi nary catch was made by J. C. Shaw. The following is the wore :—Grundy's side: J. Go 'truly, 10; G. Ilsutia, 0 ; J. C. Shaw, 6 ; Stokes, 6 ; J. Clem 10 ; Lowe, 0 ; total, 32.
