FORBIDDING TnE BANNB.—A very unusual oc eurrenee took place in the pariah church of Stradbrole, on Sunday. As awn as the Rev. R. Washington began to plash the banns of marriage for the second time betr en two persons, a man who sat close to the reading-desk said " I forbid them." The rev. ntlemen ktpt on reading, and the man replied, " I 1 , I.ld them" still still the rev. gentleman kept on to the d. when the man again said, " I forbid them!" Mr. tt:,..hington turned to the Rev. J. C.

The life-boat Bradford was • o . dingly mewled and taken in tow by the harbour tug p • eceded in the direction of the burning Tassel.

Mkt.) _ _ We have arrivod at that season of the year when details on the subject of evening dress are those most in demand. We And that velvet, satin, tulle, or crape, are each employed for full dress ; and that lace is particularly in favour this winter, being used in • variety of fashions. One very pretty style is that of the robe Watteau, composed entirely of black or whit* lace; the body low, with • hollow plait at the back, which is fastened ea pa tier, with a satin scarf or sash of the same shade as the underskirt. The skirts are almost always made with penis's of one style or another, and generally with long trains. A few short ball dresses are made, but for any except quite young girls are far from becoming or graceful. White satin dresses, trimmed with • decided colour, such as ruby, emerald green, tuts quoise blue, &c., are very elegant. For full visit ing dress black lace, or gtup ire, is also worn in flounces on velvet, satin, or faille dresses, and with • rich velvet mantle trimmed with lace forms • very handsome toilette. Dinner dresses are made in different styles ; not unirequently open square or heart-shaped, as wed as quite low. The skirts should be very Mug or looped up with a mart. Plack is always becoming, and many charming toilettes are made of it. Shot 'dictate very fashionable, es also velvets, both plain and tlgated. Fur is quite as much in request as it was last winter. Dresses of velvet and plush ate trunsued with it, bands of fur being placed all round the bottom and carried up the flout. 11 e are asked it it is consideied mere stylish to have the dress, jacket, and Lomat all of one shade. It certainly may be called more thoroughly Parisian than the richest toilette formed of • variety of colours, but the jacket of black velvet is always admissible, and looks well with any coloured dress. black and pink is still very rechercui, but the pink should not predominate, but rather form merely the trimming. RAILWAY COLLISION AT WIGAN. Last night, a serious railway collision took place at the Springs branch junction on the London and North. Western Railway, a short distance south of the Wigan Famomger station. Just at this point the &cies, Tyliles. ley and Wigan branch joins the main lbw to the north, and it was at the spot where the two lines converge that the accident happened. When the express leaving Manchester at 4.40 p.m., and due at Wigan at 6.11, arrived at the junction, a train of laden coal wagons was moving on an adjacent line, when apparently it wee out of all danger from the pawing express Either the engine of the passenger train left the metals at the points, or some of the oral tracks were off the road, for a collision °centred of so violent a character that it le marvellous a serious low of life has not to be recorded. The engine, after smashing one or two of the Weeks, and scattenng the owed over the road, appears to have stuck slow to the remainder of the for the full length of the train, which consisted of eight or nine carriages, the occupants of which wore considerably shaken by the constant bumping. For. tunataly none were overturned, but the brut carriage, getting free from the sogmq was thrown across the down line to which the train at the time of the oolliaion was shunting. Tbe engine driver, just before this averred, bad jumped from hie engine, and he was lying across the rails when the carriage was jerked out of the string, and both wheels an said to have pawed over hie legs. As soon as assistance was obtained he was removed to the Man chester infirmary. Several of the passengers complained of serious injuries, but their extent was not known last night. A large staff of labourers promptly commenced the work of clearing the line, under the dire ebo n of Mr. Taberners, the station master. It was, however, more than two hours before one line was opened for traffic, and there was little probability that both would be in working ceder before this morning. FOIMION-OFFICI, Dsc. 28.—The Queen bee been pleased to approve of Don Francisco (fished as Consul for Spina in the counties of Northumberland and Durham, to reside at Newcastle.—Gazette. _ _ WIFDSOH CASTLE, DEC. 12.—The Queen was this day pleased to confer the honour of knighthood on John Duke Coleridge, Esq., M.P., her Majesty's Solicitor- GeneraL—Gareffe. IRISH ELECTION PETITIONS.—An application was made to Judge Keogh, sitting in chambers yesterday, for an order directing the petitioner against the return of Mr. Whitworth for Drogheda to furnish the names of the persona alleged to have made inflammatory speeches and hired mobs, as well as particulars of alleged acts of vio lence and intimidation. It was resisted by affidavit, stating that the effect would be to prevents fair trial. Judge Keogh refused the motion. Pettioas were lodged yesterday against the return of Mr. O'Conor and Sir G. lkoth for the county of Sligo. The Dublin and Carrick rgus petitions will be tried on the 2lst of January. TILE MURDER OP A POLICEMAN AT NOR/LUMP - see Kemp, detective of the Northamptonshire totatuk.ow d yesterday morning, at II o'clort, from the effetts o. t..e gunshot wound inflicted by Wm. dridge ater, who will now be charged with murder. The parti culate of the shocking occurrence were reported in our 3estsraley's impreasion. A Itoeg DANCER ON FIRE.--An exciting scene occurred the other day at Alcazar. Mdlle. Rose &qui, a rote dancer, was performing some jugglery feats, balancing daggers, lighted torches, &c. on the tight rope, when suddenly the terrible cry. " You are on fire I " arose from the audience. In reality • piece of burning stuff from one of the lighted torches had fallen on her heed, and set her long hair on fire. With one foot on the iron rope, and another in the air, the woman did not lose her presence of mind. She passed her hand over her clothes and felt nothing. " der Merges !" cried the excited people. Mdlle. &qui understood, and carrying her hand to her head rapidly stifled the fire. She then continued her performance as If nothing bad happened. GRIM CHRISTMAS PRESENTS,—The UAW& has the subjoined:—"The Christmas festival in Spain gave rise to some cruel pleasantries at the expense of the mem ber, of the Provisional Government. Amongst them was the presentation to the Countess de Reuss of • magnificent box, highly ornamented , as a gift of the ~IOU for her husband . On the day when it came there was • grand dinner at the Marshal's, and his wife had the beautiful offering brought up at the dessert, to exhibit it. On its being opened, and a paws of paper at the bot tom removed, there was seen below a miniature gibbet, from which the effigy of Prim, in uniform and remarkably like, was dangling; whilst beside it was • guillotine, on which a companion imitation of the same personage was extended. An inscription in letters of silver was to be seen underneath with the words:—' Either the one or the other.' A similar present was sent to the wife of Marshal Serrano." TORALT.,O FOR THE ASEINO.—A correspondent of the Jamaica Roving Journal writes l'here is hardly a district of our country in which we may travel that one does not see the tobacco growing in every dueo tion. The negroes clear the bushes from around the aides of their houses, pass a flee over it, sprinkle the seeds over the burnt soil, and before the lapse of many hours the plant puts it bead above Found, and enough tobacco is grown to keep their pipes supplied during the year. There is no preparation - beyond picking the leaves as they ripen, and Lunging thorn over the fire, the smoke from which cures them, and makes them palatable. I have frequently in my ramble+, when hard up for ' honey dew ' enjoyed a pipe full of the ' country tobacco,' which by being rubbed up with a little sugar when cut for the pipe, does not emote ill by any meens. I think that if with so little preparation our native growth of tobacco can be made so palatable to one whose taste has been educated to the enjoyment of the pure unionise, what would it be if it should happen to be passed under the curing proems of the Cuba tobacco I" WAIMESDI ''t BURIAL 01 TOa LATR_EIIi NA-r,v4 t; The Beni of Sir Ititobried Mayne book pleas this moritiag.

TIM SHORT-TIMR MIWIMENT IN LAN- cAtiante: A meeting of the central short-time movement committee was held yesterday at the °Moss of the secre tary, 63, Ming-street, ILaeohoster, for the purpose of receiving imports and deputatloas from such of the local committees se are at present in exist ence. There were representatives from Manchester, Preston, Tyldeiley. Stockport, Oldham, Rochdale, Rawtenetall, Todroordsa, Stacketeada, Middleton, Hyde, Kirkham, and Bury. The Secretary (Mr. Tattersall) reported that einem the general meeting other sheet time circulars had been received, and the malt showed that about 60 per cent. of the Arras were already working short time, and that 37 per cent. were prepared to work short time oca ditioeally en the majority of their neighbours of the trade doing the mme, and that 60 per mut. were prepared to do so uneonclitiosally. It was reported that the short-time movement was progreming in Preston and Stockpot, three-fourths of the spinners in the latter town being prepared to work three days per week during the month of January. at the close of which a meeting to be called to determine what further extension of time should be agreed upon. The whole of the gentle- men pressed were unanimous in stating that in each of the districts short time was felt to be the great need of the day, and they thought it would be fully adhered to. It was moved by Mr. W. Armitage (Manchester), seconded by Mr. Rickard Hurst (Rochdale), and resolved " That in those towns and districts in which no local organisa tion of the trade already oxide the secretary be em powered to convene meetings for the purpose of forming local ccaimittess, and that such committees be requested to send deputations to the central committee; and, where this is not practicable. that the secretary shall take such other means as he may think desirable to forward the movement in each district." Tho meeting was then ad journed until the 6th proximo. PERILOUB RIDE 0? A RAILWAY PORTER. Last night John Bevan, a porter in the servico of the Metropolibur Railway Company, stationed at Cower-strett station, had a very narrow escape, unier the following circumstances :—lt appears that he was talking to a person in a carriage whil.t the train from Paddington was stationary, and before he could get off tho footboard the Lain started. Hia foot slipped, but fortun►tely he did not fall on to the rails, but keeping his hold of the carriage, he hung and was dragged to the Bing's cross station, where be was released from his perilous position. His boots, trousers, and coat were much cut, and he wee nearly insensible. Re was taken to the Royal Free Hospital, Graf s•ina-road, and attended by Drs, B. Murphy and T. Forder, the louse-surgeons, who found the unfortunate man very much shaken, his left shoulder slightly grazed, • slight cut on the left Ger, and other injuries. After being in the hospital a short time he was allowed to go home, little the worse for his perilous ride. IHI?FLVQ INTILLIG, DA7J ( y TN'assail.)

Victor Hugo gave his annual Christmas fit. to his " pow chil&en," at Hauteville House on Thursday Li& On this, as on previous owe stoma, ,the objects of the poet's bounty were awonbled in his large dining-room, in which was spread a handsome and bountiful collation of cakes, sandwiches, trait, wine, to., with which the chil dren were plentifully welled, as were also the crowd of vimitore who were present The repast having been dis posed of, the whole porgy proceeded to an adjosamg rocas, in which was a long - table covered with useful clothing, and shoes for boys end girls, which were distriluted am mg the children. Mr. Vicroz Hnoo, in addreming the assembly, laid— That you may understand the progress that the idea of the poor children's dinner has made, I will merely present to you a few figures--figures that I take from London; that is to my, from yourselves. You may probably have read in the newsj apers a letter addressed to me by Lady Thompson. In the single parish of Marylebone the number of children succoured m 1868 has increased from 6,000 to 7,860. A society entitled ' The Onildren's Provident So ciety' has just been founded in Maddox-street, Regent. street, with a capital of 20,000/. • and you may remember that this time last year I congratulated myself on having reed .n the English papers that the Hanford)* House ides had so fruerticd that 30,010 children were assistod. Now hear that excellent journal, the AsPreas of the 17th of Dia:mbar, which records • 'antra rent progression. In 1866 there were in Loudon 6,400 duldren assisted its the manner I have mentioned, in 1607 there were 311,000. and iu lbtS there were MOW. Add to there the 7,8 of Marylebone, which is • separate society, and you have a total of 122,8.30 children who have been assisted. Such is the fruit of • grain of aced thrown into the ground when God is pleased to water it. How many children do you see now before you t Forty. Well, each of these children has producsd elsewhere 3 , 0 W, the forty children of Hauteville Home have become 120,000 in London. He concluded as follows Whatever may be the sorrows of life I shell not murmur at them if 1 am permitted to realise the o highest objects of ambition that a man can aim at. Thate objects are to be • slave—to be &servant ; to be the slave of consciesce—to be the servant of the poor." The illustrious host was loudly cheered at the dose of hie address, when a further adj ournment took place into another room, where was dis play ed • splendid llanstmas tree, the various fruits of w hich were distributed in the presence of the assembled company, among the children, thee, which commenced at noon, terminating at about 3 - if. de Healer Less reed an extract from an article which appeared in the Zzienisi on the inked of Destitute Children .

A ![ett Wrrif Six Wivze.-The Nottingham Journal Boys There is now living, not a hundred miles from 'Mefferd, a man, the real facts of whose history we propose to give. At the age of 24 he was engaged and about to be married to a woman of the name of Walker, but she was taken away by death. Having followed her to the grave and mourned for her some time, he at last be came acquainted with and married to a woman named Vow. After a few years she died. His next wife was a widow named Vickerstaff. After a few years she also died. He next married Vickerstaff, the sister of hie hot wife's hus band. In • few week" she died. Feeling almost disoouraged by past experience, he waited awhile, but being lonely, he again entered into matrimonywith a woman named Webster. After having enjoyed each other's company for sever il years, she alio was taken away by death. The issue of the above marriages are three children, one by the find wife and two by the last. It is &remarkable fact that all the deaths were from decline. The widower then cam menced a courtship with a woman named Holland, whose husband had emigrated, end nothing haying been hoard of him for a number of years, and thinking he was dead, they at length became man and wife. They lived to gether in perfect harmony for two years, when, to th sir peat consternation, her former husbaid, after a lapse of 17 years, returned and claimed her as his lawful wife. They are now living together. So we see that this man has had as good as five wiv es stolen away by death, and the sixth by a living man.'
