RimmEL's PERFUMED ALMANAC. - Ilperte amid Pastiasse, beautlfalls illustrated Prim :01Fa r.. ,3=e4 .6.1 t 114 aoa Id* SHONEDITCN RAGGED SCHOOLB.—Last night the annual meeting of the friends and subscribers to the Shore- ditch ragged school. was held in the Shoreditch Tom ball ; Mr. Charles heed, M.P., in the chair. About WO little boys and girls, attendants at the New Inn-street, Bateman's-row, and litotley.street Schools, occupied the floor of the ball, and although the children of parents unable to educate them presented a neat and orderly &p -reemie*. The other parts of the spacious hall were filled with the lends of the ragged schools. Mr. Candler read a iatiefactrity report for the past year, and after the children had sung the hymn " Thank Hod for the Bible," the Chan man addreiecd the meeting. He said their object was to considi r how beet they could make happy the poor childri n before them. To be poor might be a mictortune, as far es children were con:rimed, but it WAS scarcely ever their fault. He rather objected to the title " rag4e4 reboots," because they teenciated with the word meted, idleness, neglect, and diseoluteness. But ragged children who went to ragged scheob ..vere as good as any other children, if they loved 'heir ...weer, and deiired to leirn. These schools were for the ..lath en of the poor who had nit time or means to educate C. a. They were not to look to tl.e government or to oet•"de agencies to enable them to do that, but they were themselves to help parents to do it. Th ey wanted a religious basis for the education of their children; and be could not think they would ever adopt in this country a system of edneetion so secular that the Bible would not be the great text book of our schools. lie apprehended that secular schools, to be consistent, must bare teachers who had no distinct re ligious opinions, or who, basing had them, put them aside. The teacher must know the only true foundation for education was to be found in religious. truth. The honourable gentleman concluded by making an earnest appeel on behalf of the schools. Tice report was adopted. The children then sang a selection of !mans and melodies, after which each of the little ones received a present from a gigantic Christ mas tree, literally bending under the weight of bonbons, which was placed at the back of the chair. borne LONDON WORKINO Mitt's Cousaz, PLACILYZIABS-BOLD.—The second year of the college will commence on Monday next, January 4, when Professor Huxley will preside at a lecture by Dr. Cobbold on the "Aims of Moral and Mental Culture," and also deliver to the successful competitors the certificates gained at the recent Christmas examinations. The programme of the college cempriees evening classes, nig t schools, and day seldsola It is hoped that in throe years the fees of the college will defray its working expenses, and in the mean time the help of friends is asked for to meet the deficiency of the receipts. The expenses of the first year have been sat partly by the students' fees and partly by a donation list of about 1204, a large balance being advanced by the treasurer, Mr. John Westlake, 2, New-square, Lincoln's hat, by whom subscriptions limited to three years will be ceivi d. Full particulate of the college work will be sent by the secretary, Mr. Roenter, at the College, in Blackfriars-road. NATURALIZATION OF BRITISH SIiniP.CTS IN AMT.- ate.t.—After the businere proper of the deputation from the Mutual Lead. Emigration, and Colonization Company to the American Minister, a /ally or two since, had been concluded, a question was asked his erection:7 resparting the naturalization of British subjects in America, the answer to which lies not been reported in any of the r apt re. It is important ut this time. as bearing upon the ricturaliration question. Idr.

The treaty entered into between the two governments, and sure to tie ratified by the Senate, provides that whoever is naturalized in the Fnitcd States who was formerly a native of Great Britain will be, when he coulee to the United Kingdom, intieed to all the rights of a native-born American citizen. Whenever you return here you will be clothed with the protection of America as much ar if you bad been born in America.

Mcnday was a very wet day through out; wind S.S.E. ,• thermometer 48 deg.; barometer down to 29.30 inches. From Scotland it was reported:—" We have bad changeable, wet, and stormy weather, with an occasionally good day ; temperature mild. Should the weather become dry some autumn wheat would yet be sown." Tuesday morning was fine, and the day held up, but rain set in at 6 p.m., and a wet night was expe rienced. From the West Riding of Yorkshire it was stated:—" This week opened with damp and dingy weather, followed by heavy rain on Sunday night ; and our full river and watercourses show the state the land must be in from such a conti nuance of wet." From the East Riding our ad vices run :---`• Weather continues very mild and open, a good deal of rain has fallen, and Nome armaments, of winter would now be desirable, .especially for the wheat put, which looks well, but is getting too foward." From Northumberland it was, written :—" The weather has been very wet during the last few days, but this morning is fine. The wind haa.been west and south-weft, blowing at times very harsh" Wednesday was tolerably fine, but the atmosphere was damp ; thermometer, 48 degrees; barometer down to 29.341 inches. Thursday morning was very unsettled, after heavy rain in the night, shoe ery in the afternoon, and with a wet and very boisterous evening ; thermometer 47 degrees, Lamm der 213.50 inches, being lower than at any period time the early _put of 1867 . From Warwickshire it was stated :--- 'We have a continuance of almost spring like weather, allowing cattle sufficient nourishment iron the ja,turcr. More seasouable weather is now desirable, especially for the young wheat . plant, which a warn tem pciature amid abundance of ant is pushing too forward. The potato crop is fist din. '-hing under the comb:nisi action of disease and fo:ced consumption." From Suffolk we Lear: "The weather since our Lit has been stormy, and much min has fallen." From another part of the [ lame county it was remarked : "Since my last we have laud heavy ruin, and the barometer to-day is rinoseally low." }riday was a very fine day, clear, briar :y, sad bright; wind W.N.W., thermometer 43 and baro meter miring, being up to 29.20 in. Our &deices fro:n the West Riding of Yorkshire said : " Sine() Tuesday we have to report continued damp mil showery weather." Saturday morning was flue, but rain set in daring the afternoon and the evening was very wet; blowing again strong, strong, a nd threatening a boisterous night. During this week there have been heavy kills of ram, particularly in the night, and the low lands in many counties have been flooded ; while where not so heavy there has been a suf ficiency of wet for every purpose ; and the wells are quite replenished, as water-mills enabled to work all their power, where not stopped by backwater ; for in aurae dis tricts this has at last heen a complaint. The atmosphere has proved too damp for wheat threshing, and supplies will consequently be short until we have an improvement inthe weather. Barley will still, however, be thrashed, the condition not being so important an that of wheat, aud the demand encourages the farmer, to bring it out as fast us pomade. Still there is a falling off in the amount, although there were 4,769 qrs. returned more than wheat. Very high prices for choice malting qualtiee are now paid at all the leading markets, and as yet them is no stop to the advance, maltstere being determined to secure prime parcels as long as such can be obtained.—York-leas press.

ADMIRALTY, DEC. 24.-ROYAL MARINE LIGHT iItrANTRT.—The following named genthasea Lee beat appiuted lieuteuanh4 in the Itrat ete ldarinee : —.Hoary Vaneitttut, and Partial Heade.— TBE INTERNATIONAL TACHT ALITCIT. (From the New Toth Spirit of the Times.) Some weeks ago wo published, with arch com ments as we thought suitable, the letter of Mr. Add) iry. owner of the Englsh yacht Caueiria. to the New York Yacht Club. It will bo remembered that the letter in question made some suggestions, and invited noveral c in tests. The fiat was, that the New York Club should select and rend ricer to England. in time for the Cop area of the Royal Yacht Clith arid Royal Yacht Squadron. a vestal, er vessels, not more than twenty per cent. laror tonnage than the Cumin ie; that, after the Americau ve.sel had lanticitated in such of those races as should be conve nient, she rhould sail an ocean match from the Isle of Wight to New York against the Cumbria, under no re strictions as to sails or number of crew, and without giving any allowance for difference of tonnage. The third projositiou was to sail the beet of three matcher around Long Island, with allowance for tonnage. Of the answer the New York Yacht Club may have made to Mr. Aebbury we have no knowledge, but in another part of this paper we give letters to the gentleman in question from Mr. Henry U. Stebbins, owner of the Phantom, and Mr. James Gordon Bennett, jun., owner of the Dauntless. From Mr. Stebbins's letter we gather the probability that the reply of the Yacht ( dub to Mr. Arhbury merely sets forth the conditions under which the Royal Cup, won by America in England, is to be sailed for. These conditions were imposed by those who presented the Cep to the New York Club , . and it m not at liberty to depart from them. We give these conditions with the lettersof Mr. Stebbins and Mr. Bennett. It will be seen that the cup is made a perpetual challenge trophy, the club which may bold it being liable to be challenged to be sailed for its further perseeesima at any time, and the place and terms of the race, unless there is mutual agreement to the contrary, being provided. The New York Yacht Club has it na its power to agree to Mr. Asbbury'a conditions for sailing th e best of two in three matches sroaad Lose Island, but it is not eompelled to agree to them. The letter of Kr. Stebbins to Mr. Ash bury is cordial and handsome. It congratulates the owner of the Cambria on her victory over the Sappho, warns him of a cordial and hospitable reception here next fall. if becomes, and states that Mr. Stebbins will be ready to test tl.e sailing qualities of the Phantom against those of the Cambria iu any match that may be agreed upon after the arrival of the British yacht in our waters. So far, ro good. We now mine to Mr. Bennett's letter, which, as will be seen, is quite as polite and handsome as the others, and a good deal more likely to lead to real bunions in a ship-shape, seaman-like sort of way. When we commented so favourably upon Mr. Aehbury s sugges tions, we declared that the real pith and marrow of the three lay in that which propoosl a race of three thousand miles to westward and windward, without restric tions as to canvas or crew. Mr. Bennett seems to have thought so ton, and therefore he agrees to rail his yacht the ISauntless against the Cambria from ( owes to New York, or from Cowes to the A:ores (Western Islands of the sailors) awl back. or any other 1114 eof three thouissuil miles at sea. He prefers this to railing races in inlaid waters. and wo believe him to be in the right. Ocean races afford inireli truer and better tests of the speed and weatherly iptalities of the yachts., of the science end sagacity of their navi gators, and of the skill and hardihood of their sailing masters. Therefore he may exclaim : Their idle Phantom freely mud th , m, Rut there'. an anthem Yore dear to me sung by the rolling billows of the deep blue are One objection indeed may be advanced against the match which Mr. Bennett is willing to sad against the Cam bria after his arrival in England next May. His schooner. the Dauntless, is considerably larger than Mr. Ashbury's yacht, but that Mr. Bennett cannot help, and we do not think that it would make any material difference to the result. In very heavy weather it might do so, but in the summer time, when light winds prevail to a considerable extent, the smaller schooner aught often have the advantage in going close hauled when the breeze was weak and baffling. There fore, we think an ocean match at least will grow out of the correspondence which has taken plain: and if such a one is arranged between the two famous @choosers Cam bria and Dauntless, as yachts worthy of representing the kindred and maritime peoples of the British Islands and the United States, a world-wide curiosity will be created, and no small addition made to the pleasurable interest of civihsed mankind.

Tit g FUTURE OF TRADES' ITroo xa.— -During the Kest ut month the Trades Union Commissioners have held several sittings for the purpose of agreeing upon their leport. which it is understood is now completed, and will he laid before parliament early in the next se—ion. It is stated that the repent will he ono of the majority only, and that amongst its leading reeeminendatious wit lK found, that trades unions, under cattail' limit,. sh raid be recogrihed by law, suit their funds placed under its protection: that the rubs( of thee unions should bo biraling only on their member*, a n d that any attempt to tramcar them upon unwilling workmen should be punish- Otte by law; that the utmost freedom of labour should exist in all trades; and that the benevolent and trade funds should be kept entirely distinct, and that no moneys subscribed for benevolent purpose s should under any (ileum:dances be applied to troupe or other esti aneous objects. It is this but recommendation that will meet with the strongest opposition from the large end more influential trade societies, such as the engineer*, matens,joiners bricklayers, plasterers, boiler-makers, &c., on the ground that Laving subscribed the money them selves, they have a right to • epaso of it in any way they think Fel er. Already, in d anticipation of the report of the comminioners, the trades and trades councils through out the country are forming cansittures to protect the in terests of the unions by a united action and opposition to the clauses of any bill that may be laid before perhament founded on the report of the commission that may inter fere with their fundamental principles, and the right to amalgamate their funds, if they think proper eo to do.
