TILE LOMBARD EX(IIA NGE AND NEWS-BOOM. —lt is singular that, notwith-tending the number of com mercial associations which arc to be found in the City of Loudon, there should be no large central establishment, at once a news-room and an Exchange, whither men en gaged in various branches of common:* might resort for the transaction of business. In other large commercial towns—in Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham, and Liverpool, for instance—such a general place of meeting is invariably to be found, and has generally proved highly successful. At last an attempt is about to be made, under very promising circumstances, to supply the un doubted want of such an institution in the City. On New Year's-day, the City Offices Company (Limited) will open a large portion of the ground-floor of their magnificent new building in Lombard-street, as a general Exchange and news-room, to be called "The Lombard." This handsome apartment, which includes a space of no less than 7,200 square feet, divided into bays by handsome columns, will be comfortably furnished, and amply supplied with home and forcign newspapers, telegrams, maps, ►tlases, price currents, Ac. It is lighted by two large skylights, and late in the afternoon, or on dark days, will be illuminated by six sun-lights. Within the building there is a telegraph office, and the walls have been fitted for the reception of the advertisements of ship-brokers and others. Upstairs there is a smaller room, comfortably carpeted and provided with well stuffed seats, where letters can be written in greater quietude than can be expected below, and at one end of the news-room there are a dining-room and luncheon bar. ♦ considerable number of gentlemen have already become members of the new institution, and fresh sub scriptions are being received daily. - - A meeting was held in St. George's-hall, Brad ford, on Tuesday—the mayor in the chair—to consider whether some atepe could not be adopted to provide cheap and rational amusements for the public, and to counteract the evils arising from the associations of the beerhouse. Reference was made to the successful steps taken in Leeds, Glasgow, Manchester, Preston, and other places, by mechanise' institutes, working men's clubs, temperance societies, &c. A resolution in favour of the objects of the meeting was adopted. PROPOSED ENCLOSURE OF MITCHAM COMMON. — Active steps are now being taken by some of the most influential residents of Mitcham with • view to apply to the ensuing parliament for powers to purchase the mano rial and other privileges in Mitcham-common, for the puirose of enclosing the same and converting a portion of it into a publii, park and recreation grounds. TllO common compute* over 1,200 acres of land, and is partially covered with twee ; and there are common rights to pasturage. HOAX AND I(OBlt}hY.—A cruel hoax, resulting in Jobbery, Las just Leen perpetrated upon the friends of at the prisoners in Maidstone Gaol. It will be remem bu ed that at the Maidstone assizes, held in July last, • pilot rimmed George Baker and two Deal boatmen named William Fr ost Spears and William Middleton, were sen tenet d to six mouths' Lard labour each for conspiring together to deft uud Captain Burttall, Lloyd's agent at 14 4261., by fahely representing that they had rendered tel tam 'services to the British ship Olivia, for which they claimed remuneration to the above amount. Their term of imprisonment does not expire until towards the end of January next, but their friends received a communication puipm tiug to come from the prisoners, shortly before Chris hum, informing them that from some cause or other • poi Con of their sentence had been remitted, and that they expected to be released by Christmas. Bokire they could be relate d, however, there were certain charges which they had to pay, amounting to 301., and they re uuested that that amount should be remitted to them, and it the same time that their clothes and watches should be sent to • certain address, which they gave. This friends of the prisoners were rejoiced at the intelligence, and gladly scraped together the stated amount and transmitted it, with the clothes, watches, &0., to the address given. Christmas-day arrived, and finding the prisoners did not come home, their friends wrote to them at the prison, and then found that they had been made the victims of • dia giaceful hoax, and had been robbed of the 301. and the other articles referred to. The perpetrators of the hoax Lave not been discovered. TROITING MATCH FOR Cio.— -A trotting match for £26 a side magi off yesterday morning at H vley, en the Brighton road.

The Channel Islands mail packet, due here on Monday night, was unable to leave the islands until yesterday morning, en amount of the weather. The New York mail packet Borussia, which met with an accident in the Atlantic, has not yet reached this port from Portland Roads. All the low level roads In the New Forest are under wafer. Almost every day Owe have been thunder and lightning in the neighbour hold, and travelling has been very difficult on amount of the high wind. TICAZIBLB STORRS IN THE _ATLANTIC. irAzaolr YPICAPZ OP THI URANIA. The barque Urania, Captain B. Mints, which has arrived at Liverpool from St. John's, encountered fearful weather on the voyage to the Mersey. Captain Minta reports that he sailed from St. John's on the 2nd of December, and on the 6th the Urania encountered • sue cession of most terrific squalls from various points of the compass, with high topping seas, causing the ship to labour much. She shipped large quantities of water, which washed away the deck load. The equal's continued with unabated fury during the 7th and Bth, the ship at times being completely submerged. On the latter day a heavy gale set in early in the morning, increasing towards noon, with • very high sea. The ship was Love to, tremendous seas continuing to break over her in rapid succession. The lee side, the deck-load, and the deck-house, were for some time under water, and large quantities of the deck-load were washed overboard, all efforts to save it being entirely baffled. As the gale increased the side of the forward house was driven in, and the forecastle, galley, cabin, and state-rooms filled by the seas sweeping over the ship ; and at the same time the spars and other movables were washed overboard. The ship lurched heavily, jerked the wheel loose on the spindle, and twisted the tiller on the rudder-head. More of the deck-load was washed away. From the Bth to Sunday, the 13th, there was a suc cession of furious gales, int !ripened with violent squalls, and accompanied by thunder, lightning, rain, Lail, and snow, the wind flying from west-north-west to south-west and south, the ship taking immense seas, and washing out the deals. Sunday set in with a heavy gale and a high sea, the gale increasing in fury every moment, and threatening to sweep everything before it. The storm raged all day, and terrific squalls of relentless force continued every now and then to strike the ship, the sell making . • clean breach through the half deck and cabin, starting the combings, driving in the front of the poop, smashing the doors, and completely filling the cabins. Sea followed sea, sweeping over board stores, charts, books, clothes, and deck load. Nothing could resist the headlong force of the waves, acted upon by the fearful squalls of wind. The ship was buried in the sea, and several of the men were rendered unfit for duty by being crushed by the drifting spars and deals. As the gale increased the ship gave a tremendous lurch to port,. carrying away pooprail and stanchions. The foretopmamstay sail was blown off the stay, and the water-casks were stove in and hurled overboard, with everything of a movable character. After this the gale gradually abated, and on Christmas-day the Urania reached the Mersey, after one of the most fearful voyages on record. PROPOSED INTERNATIONAL EXIIIBMON.--On Tuesday a deputation waited upon the Lord Mayor at the Mansion-house, for the purpose of bringing before him the subject of an international exhibition of domestic economy, which is proposed to be held at Utrecht in August and September next. The deputation consisted of Baron Mackay, from the Hague ; M. Everwyn, Chargi d'Affaires, and Mr. J. W. May, Consul-General of the Netherlands; the Rev. Wm. lt rs, rector of Bishops gate, and Mr. P. Le Neve Foster. Secretary of the Society of Arts. The Netherlands Society of Manufactures and Industry have undertaken the conduct of the matter; and the Netherlands government has requested its chargi d'effuires in this country to use his best endeavours to further the objects in view. The principal aim of the exhibition r to bring to the knowledge of working men such articles of household 11.43, furniture, dress, food, work, and instruction of different countries, as at low prices combine usefulness with solidity, so that they may be enabled by judicious economy to improve then erudition. Articles of luxury as well as of elegance strictly so called will be excluded, and in this point of view at is thought the exhibition will derive great advan tage from the countenance and assistance of co-operative association in the collection of reports, statutes, and regulations of different societies for promoting the well being of the working classes. The promoters flatter themselves that an exhibition organised with these well defined objects will attract exhibitors as well in their own interests as in those of the working class, especially now that the question of cheapness begins more and more to fix the attention of the public, a question, they say, likely by its very nature to play an important part in the procpe nty of nations. A central committee has been at the Hague. having for its president Hamel= who is now in London, promoting the objects of the pro posed exhibition. With that view he has attended • meeting at Manchester, presided over by the Mayor, and al.o at Glasgow, at which the Provost was present, and much success has thus resulted in making known the objects which it is hoped to attain in the cause of the working claws. The deputation at the Mansioa-houes was introduced to the Lord Mayor bMr. Grethen, the President of the Poor-law Board, and In the course of the interview it was stated that the proposal had received the countenance of Mr. Grant Duff, M.P., Mr. 0. S. Roundell, and other pences of consideration. The Lord Mayor evinced a kindly interest in the views of the deputation, and promised to co-owate in giving them effect, for which put pose a oomni is now is course of formation in the City. -——- - - - Dusvius and Co., Belfast, are the largest Win* d Whisky In 41i• Wald 774•14.

Nlit,—A most nnoomfOrtable afternoon was spent by those who braved the elements last Monday at Finley, when nearly everything that was raised at any elevation from the ground was raced to the ground before the proceedin and when one of the "sports" found—mad- easily have been dispensed with. The however, was rendered move interesting then it might have been had not the ground become so hem, end the last three noes were anything bat the certainties they were ecesideced by the clever men. Tally-Ho, bathed frody is the right quarter, was pumped oat more thee halt • mile from home, and the second favourite, Flateateber, who was not atfaekd by metallic fever as at Bromley, could only get within a Worth of Ace of Trumps, th e winner also of the principal event on Boxing-day, A move will be made this week towards recommencing business in turf circles, for the Chester Cup and Liverpool Steeplechase clone en theist, and the publication of the entries will bring a few of the old than to the clubs. Yet we shall probably see and read of nothing bat billiards for some days hews, as sixteen "creek" players are handicapped to perform at the "Victoria" next week, sad by the time their tournament is over, a strong band of the heditsin of the "Albert " wig set to work. These are private matters, I know, for they are not advertised like the recent match played between rename and the promoter of one of the new fashicsed betting dabs, and the mention of which in these columns on Monday appears to have given offence to somebody. My remark was that, "Fordham must have caught the infection " (speaking of the rage for the game), "for he was actually advertised, like Roberts or Lefton, to play an exhibition match at the New Prince of Wales's Club on Boxing-night." The secretary is most indignant at the word " exhibition" being used, but does not define what an "exhibition match" really is. I know that an encounter between two players for love—and the "Fate money" paid by the bolters on—will oars under the deectiption, and thought that the mere fact of Fordham being announced, days beforehand, to perfoim made a sort of " sahib:Son " of the phy, for many • Cockney would pay the Prince of Wales's sab scription fee for the mere privilege of geeing on such a replier charm ter in mufti, or brusinng against his sleeve. But if it will ease the over-anxious mind of Mr. Secretary &nth, the offensive word—why is it offensive, after all ?—shall be withdrawn; and I take the orpor tunity at the fame time of endorsing his sentiment, that "it was an honest and bona fide match." The winter is that he should deem it necessary to make such a state ment as this latter, for the contrary could never be sug gested by any one acquainted with the parties conce-ned. A very few words will suf fi ce for the programme of the ManchesterSteeplechacee, Flat, and Hurdle Races." to take place on Friday and Saturday. A sorry lot are en gaged in the legitimate events, and such things as Prince (hinge and Woodbine may come best off in the Tiia, with the Prince or Artichoke in the Old Trafford Handi cap. Sir William and Wings of the Wind are nicely in both the steeplechases, as is Harrington in the Hurdle Paces, in last year's form; but I confess to knowing little as to their present capabilities. —I am, )lETEOR. NAVAL AND MILITARY. CHATHAM, Dec. XL The 10-inch rolled armour-plates, each weighing 12 tons, for encasing tho turrets of the iron-clad shin Monarch, 7, 6,102 tons, 1,100 hone-power, have arrived at this dockyard, where they are being bent, bored, and planed in readiness for fixing iu the positions they are to occupy on the turrets. In order that the Monarch may be completed by the latter end of March, the period ordered by the Admiralty, an additional number of mechanics and other workmen have been placed on board, to hasten forward the work still remaining to be com pleted. On the lower deck the apparatus for manufac turing gas for lighting every portion of the vessel is being fitted, while steam machinery has also been erected for ventilating the engine -mom and stoke-holes, for pumping water, and for steering the ship, the steering machinery being placed between the turrets, on the lower deck. Workman an now engaged in the erection of a lofty conning tower, which is placed near the engine funnel, between the two turrets. The 22 ton 600-pounders for the turrets have not yet arrived at the dockyard from the Royal Oun Factory, Woolwich, where they are being manufactured. WOOLWICH, DEC. 30. The operation of the Act 29 Viet., c. 35, for the better station of contagious diseases at certain naval and military stations, has (it appears by the return. made) been attended by the most bens ticial results to the health, and consequently effective strength, of both brani bee of the terms The last station to which the act has been applied is Colchester, where a hospital is to be orened on New Year's-day. The building has been elected by Messrs. Everett, at • cost of 4,000/. It will accommodate 26 female patients; and the iuteri or arrangements have been carried out with every regard to taaitaiy efficiency. TEE LOSS OF THE SHIP CALt7ME7'.—Some a - ditional evidence of an important character came out at the adjourned inquiry yesterday. John Conner, an able Hman. stated that the Calumet was a dry ship, and that the water could escily have been kept down by pumping. Whin the crew were putting provisions into the Goats preparatory to leaving the ship, the carpenter and the captain went down the after hatch together. The pumps were never sounded within witness's observation while he was on beard. Another witness, an able seaman, named Charles Lang, stated that he saw holes in the starboard quarter, and water running out of them. Witness thought that the vessel might have been kept afloat and taken into some port. He noticed the carpenter and another man (the mate he thought) coming up out of the hatch, and speak afterwards to the captain. THE FLOODING OF THE THAMES VALLEY.—In the course of Tuesday night the waters of the Thames, at Windsor, roe again about two inches, and throughout the whole of yesterday were still upon the rise. As a consequence the death have encroa che d still further upon the Brucu on the Eton shore, and as there must be a greet deal of water to came from the upper parts of the Thames basin, to which the heavy rain of yesterday has hi en added, the flood seems likely to increase. The navi gation remains closed in the Windsor district. THE FLOODS IN THE MIDLAND COUNTIES.— Lon Or Las—Norrnrelux, WIDNEIDAT.—There was a heavy fall of snow lad night, and the waters this morn ing are out to a considerable height, coming within two or three inches of the flood of 1864. The meadows near the town see covered with water, and the lower storeys of the houses in that locality are submerged. The works at the new Trent bridge are stopped. The fields on the line of railway frees Derby to Nottingham are flooded to a considerable extent. In L wioestuehirethe Soar has over flowed its banks, and the adjacent lauds are a sheet of water. In Lincolnshire, in the ten districts, the inunda tion is most extensive. A melancholy and fatal accidsnt occurred on Monday night to two residents of Hingham, mar Nottingham. Mr. Doncaster, draper, and his son. were returning flour Herby on the night in question, in • light cut., and whilst, it is suppo •I. crossing the Smite, a 'mall iivcr in that locality, whi. h had overdowed con sidtrubly, the stream was too powerful for the horse, and the consequence was that the two unfortunate persons were dunned. On the following morning a much was made for the bodies, and that of Mr. Doncaster was soon disecvered, but the boy could not be found. This morn ing the rain is again falling, the barometer is low, mid ths is is every appearance of more rain. THE FLOODS IN OXFORDSHIRE.—in several parts of Berkshire, Oxfonhhire, and Wiltshire the streams Lave swollen to such an extent that large tracts of land ale sulimeiged, and owing to the very heavy rains the foods have tepidly then dining the last two or three days. Vast sheets of water are visible from the Great Western and South Western Railways, near Reading. The King's Meadows, where the races annually take place, are nearly covered with water, and to prevent the Lay licks being canied away by the rising waters the owners are losing no time in removing their property. The Thames has also overflowed a considerable breadth of laud at Caverrhani, and at places between Reading and Abingdon. The Kennet and Avon Canal is unusually high, and between Devisee and Reading several thousand act es are flooded, but no merlons 000sequenosm have as yet arisen either to life or property. The gale of Sunday uprooted a great number of trees, including several on the estate of the Marquis of Aileebury, at Saveruake, near Marlborough. NAMES OF STREETS.—The Metrop olitan Board of Wake has ordered that the line of oroughfare ex tending westward from Cavendish-square to the insechon of Duke-street, and saw known u Wigmore-street and Edwards-street, be mod Wigmore-attest throughout.

T. Clark, read tome correspondence which had taken place between him and the Homan Catholic priest, Father Bruton, with respect to the ref oral of the master of the workhouse to allow mates to be celebrated in the work house on Christmas morning. It appeared that Father Bruton went to the union on Monday morning and said he wanted to celebrate mass on Christ mu morning. The master told him he couldn't. The print said he must. The master replied that there was uo must about it; the celebration of mass on Christmas day would seriously interfere with the discipline of the house, as the hall was required to be got ready for the Christmas dinner for the paupers. and he would not be allowed to celebrate masa on Christmas moraine. The master told him the paupers would have plenty of amuse ment in the union that day without the performance of mass.' The priest then wrote to the chairman, who in formed him that on all matters on which there were no specific orders the master exercised his, own discretion, and he (the chairman) could not compel him to admit the priest to celebrate mass on Christmas-day, but be pro mised to bring the matter before the board. The board supported the action of the master unanimously, and said the catholic' bad no reason to complain, because they were placed on a footing of absolute equality with all the other religious denominations in the house. No pro testant minister claimed the right to have a religious est vice in the dining-hall on Christmas-day, and no priest . had ever requested it before; and even now Father Ben ton, instead of making application to the board, went as though he had merely to go and take possession of the chapel."
