THE FATAL RIOTS AT THE DUNOARVAN ELEC 710N.—DuBLIR, THURSDAY NIGHT (at TELEGRAPH). — The validity of the trial of the Fenian convict Mulcahy was affirmed to-day by the Court of Queen's Bench. The verdict at the Dungarvan inquest in reference to the death of O'Brien was, that it was caused by a blow, inflicted by one of the 16 Lancers who unlawfully charged down the quay, but they held that Major Wombwell was blame less. HOLT TRINITY SUNDAY SCHOOLS, HOXTON.—The annual festival of these schools was held last evening, when about 220 of the teachers and the parents of chil dren receiving instruction sat down to tea in the school room. After tea the number of throe present was in creased to about AO. There were but few addresses deli vered, the evening being devoted principally to vocal music and other social amusements ; but the Rev. T. W. Fowle did not allow the occasion to pass without iu3preas ing upon the parents the importance of their sending the children to the Sunday schools, and the necessity of their assisting, by their influence during the week, the effect of the lessons which were taught on the Sabbath. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 18, 1867. Ilitustc. ---- NATIONAL CHORAL SOCIETY. Jiulas Maccabaits was given by this society last night—the solos by Madame Suchet-Champion, Miss Palmer, Mr. Leigh Wilson, and Mr. Lewis Thomas. This oratorio, which was one of the most successful of the com poser's works with the public of his own time, must always continue in high esteem, on account of the many noble choruses it contains, the grandeur of which stands in strong contrast to some of the solos written in the con ventional operatic style of the period. Seldom has Han del attained a greater height of sublimity than in some of the choral movements of Jude.. The dignified lament of the opening chorus, the melodious invocation, " 0 Father," with the following vigorous fugue, "And grant a leader bold," the stirring choruses, " Disdainful of danger," and " Lead on ;" the dramatic effect of " Fall'n is the foe," the masterly counterpoint in " Hear us, 0 Lord," and the grand fugal writing in the chorus, " We worship God," are such as none but Bendel (excepting, perhaps, his contemporary Bach) could have produced. Against this, however, it must be admitted that, to modern can, some of the solo pieces have an anti quieted and tedious effect, with their conventional second part, and " Da cape " (now frequently from this cause omitted in performance). There is no doubt that Handal, with all his transcendent genius, did make concessions to his public ; and these are evident in many of the solos of his oratorios ; but scarcely ever in his choruses, where he wrote untrammeled by any necessity for the display of individual vocalisation. Israel in Egypt and the Messiah are, perhaps, more exempt from this infusion of the ed reptandera than any other of his oratorios. The per formance of Judas last night was generally efficient. The chorus of this society is above the average, and would be improved by being strengthened in the altos, which at present are disproportionately weak, In a repe tition of the oratorio, /a little more attention might be given to the unison passages at the commencement of the chorus " Fall'n is the foe," which were somewhat un certain in intonation last night. The solos were carefully and intelligently, if nut brilliantly, given—the best piece of ,individual singing of the evening being Mr. Thomas's " Arm, arm, ye brave," which was given with great power of vocal declamation. Mr. Leigh Wilson gains somewhat in force, but has much progress yet to make in style and re finement. His scale passages, too (those indispensable bases for both vocal and instrumental execution) are capable of much improvement. His principal airs, " Call forth thy powers," and " Sound an alarm," were given with much energy, and received with great applause, and the recep tion accorded to Mr. Wilson on this, as on former occa sions, was such as should stimulate him to a more earnest study of the refinements of his art. ALDERMAN SALOMON.% M.P., ON THE REFORM QUESTION: Last night, at eight o'clock, Mr. Alderman Salmons, M.P., addressed a densely crowded public meeting of electors and nun-electors of the borough of Greenwich, at the Literary Institution, High-street, Dept ford. The proceedings were at various points of a moat uproarious description, in consequence of the presence o f alarge body of members of the local Reform League and other advocates of manhood suffrage, who took exception to the alderman's views on the reform question. The chair was taken by Mr. B. DUVAL, who briefly referred to the objects of the meeting, and was then followed by Mr. Alderman Salowons expressed his views on various public questions, as at • previous meeting held at Green wich. He was in favour of a uniform rating for the whole of the metnyolis, and considered that some legislation was required to render the capital embarked in railways and other great works more secure. With regard to the reform question, he did not think that its settle ment would be promoted by the holding of noisy street meetings and other objectionable means that had been proposed. (Cries of " When you were here last year you told us to make a noise about it," " Turncoat," &c.) Par liament was not to be intimidated, and the rzform ques tion mast be eanddered in an amicable spirit. (Cries at " What about Lowe ?") Well, Mr. Lowe was a man of great ability, and the working classes might be proud of him. (Great uproar, and cries of "Heis a recreant.") He was himself in favour of a comprehensive reform bill, but did not go the length of registered manhood suffrage. (Cries of "We must and will hsve it.") Well, they might get it some time, but it would be at least twenty years first. He would go as far as giving the franchise to householders who paid taxes, and to lodgers in certain cases, and should be glad to accept • good bill whether from the liberals or the tories. He quite believed that the government would in troduce • reform bill during the next cession. (Cries of " They will go out of office," and great uproar.) In reply to questions, Alderman Salornons said he was in favour of the ballot, because it would lessen the expense of elections. (Cries of " How about bribery ?") He was opposed to bribery, and believed dust the ballot would tend to prevent it. Ile had always found the unavoidable expense of elec tions to be rather heavy; and if they would be kind enough to return him free he should be very glad to build them a school or an institution of some kind at • cost of 2,000 f. A working man named Roberta addressed the meeting at some length in favour of manhood suffrage, and at the close of the proceedings, on the motion of Mr. Norfolk, seconded by Mr. Marabout, • vote of con tinned confidence in Alderman Salomon' was adopted. A conservative festival took place at Colchester on Wednesday evening in honour of Colonel Learmonth and Mr. E. K. Kerslake, the accepted conservative candi dates for the borough. The chair was occupied by Mr. C. H. Hawkins, and there were between 600 and 700 per. sons present. Both the candidates addressed she meetvg, and experienced a very cordial reception. Mr. Kerslake said he did not regard reform as a matter of paramount importance, but it had been forced upon public attention, and he had no doubt that it would be dealt with in a fair and manly spirit. Neither of the candidates could give any information as to the policy of the government with regard to reform, but they stated that they entertained every confidence in the present ministry. A deputation from the Associated Trade Protec tion Societies of the United Kingdom, consisting of Mr. Robert Wells, Hull ; Mr. R. Rissington, Leeds ; Mr. G. T. Bathgete, Edinburgh ; Mr. J. Parsons, Bristol ; Mr. A. Hardwick, Liverpool ; Mr. E. Hawkins, Manchester ; and Mr. Hobert Mellon, Nottingham, had an interview yesterday with the Attorney-General at his chambers on the subject of the amendment of the bankruptcy law. SOCIETY FOR THE EXHIBITION OF THE EINE Aura.-Last evening an exhibition of photographs and photographic appliances was held at the rooms of this society, in Conduit-street. The walla were covered with choice sipecin.ene, in various branches of art, contributed 14 Messrs. Calder, Hering, Herbert Watkins, the London Stereoscopic Company, and others. Mr. H. Ottley read • paper giving • popular account of the history and practice of the art. A. discussion followed. The rooms were fully attended. ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY. -At the monthly general meeting, held yesterday at the society's house in Hanover square, Mr. Robert Hudson, F.R.S., in the chair, Sir John Harper Crewe, Bart., the Rev. Leslie Stephen, Dr. C. K. Ord, 11. N., Mrs. A. S. Raitt, and Messrs. N. L. Austen, IL Pryor, P. Thompson, W. C. Phillips, C. Roger, S. L. Price, F. C. Ashworth, R. B. Lumley, and G. Summers were elected fellows; and Professor Oscar Schmidt, keeper of the museum of natural history at Gratz, a cor responding member of td e society. Fifteen new candi dates were proposed to be balloted for at the next monthly general meeting in February. THE HAMPSHIRE COUNTY MEMORIAL TO THE LATE LOBO PALBERSTON.-At a general meeting of the subscribers to this memorial, held at Rooney yesterday afternoon, the executive committee brought up • report setting forth the sums they had received towards the ob ject, and recommending that the west-end windows of the abbey church be filled with the best stained glass that can be procured, and that the offer of the Right Hon. W. Cowper be accepted, vie., to receive the sum contributed for a statue, to be placed in the market-place at Ramsey, and supplement it by such an amount es shall be required to supply a first-class' statue. A vote of thanks having been mused to the right hon. gentleman for his kindness and liberality, which he acknowledged, Sir H. Verney, M.l'., and others, addressed the meeting, and the report was unanimously adopted. Tits CATTLE PLAGUE.- -It appears from the official return that during the week ending January 12th three attacks of cattle plague are reported to have occurred in Great Britain, being a decrease of seven on the previous return. No fresh outbreaks of the disease took place in this or in the week preceding. Twenty-eight healthy cattle were slaughtered from having been in contact with infected animals. The attacks reported are for the following petty sessional division, viz. (Yorkshire, East Riding) South Holderness, one deer, one cow, and one calf ; these animals were all killed by order of the inspector. The number of animals attacked since the commencement is 2.53,820, being one in every 19 of the estimated ordinary stock of cattle ; and out of every 1,000 attacks whose results have been reported, 962 animals perished. CRYSTAL PALACE. Oxi Batimiso DAY.— THURSDAY, JAN. 17.-Admissions on payment, 1,738; ditto, by mason tiokata, 1,613. Total viaitora, 3,351. TDB ACCIDENT IN THE REGENT ' PARK. The aspect of the south-western corner of the park yesterday presented an agreeable and striking contrast to that of the previous day. Curiosity appeared to have been satisfied, and there were no multitudes of eye-straining spectators, no struggles with police constables, no scrambling over fences, no trespassing upon forbidden ground. Indeed a stranger, ignorant of the terrible cala mity which had so recently occurred, might well have supposed that the gathering and packing of the ice was the sole attraction for the thin ranks of idlers who fringed the north and south banks of the ornamental water. Soon after daybreak a body of police took possession of the inclosure, and distributed themselves around the lake, but some time previous to their arrival the bitter labour of dragging the centre of its muddy bed had been quietly resumed by the ordinary park keepers and their assistants. Steadily they pur sued their toil, spite of the keen frosty breeze • and the early City omnibuses from St. John's-wood had not yet passed Clarence-gate before a clear channel had been cut through that part of the lake which proved so fatal on Tuesday last. The remains of a young man and a youth were soon afterwards re covered, and conveyed to the workhouse, where they were subsequently recognised as being those of Frederic Beer, paperhanger, 38, Roman-road, Islington ; and Daniel North, aged 14, of fib, Wil stead-street, Somers-town. The grapnels continued to be plied from some half-dozen boats, until the moon was casting her beams upon the rippling water, but no more victims could be found, and shortly after dusk the work of searching was sus pended, and the park cleared by the police without difficulty. The economic arrangement 'entered into with numerous gangs of industrious and enterprising men and Ws of the humbler grades of life, appears to have been most useful. All day long every kind of conveyance, from ender deal boxes and hand-barrows to shay-carts, waggons, and vans, were being brought out of obscurity to carry away the ice. So continuous was the demand, and so vigorous the action of the punters in getting the ice to shore, that long ore darkness had set in the wide portion of the lake was nearly free from the floating fragments, d it was then plainly seen that there been an ominous subsidence of the ter. It is said that there are several per .. Lone missing who were known to have been on the ice at the time of the disaster, and whose bodies ' , have yet to be found. The dragging will therefore be, no doubt, recommenced to-day, and there is some talk of calling in the assistance of divers, should it be found practicable. The number of bodies recovered up to last night was 35. Yesterday, at the meeting of the Marylebone Vestry, the attention of the members was drawn to the shocking calamity. After many remarks ex presaiveof deep regret had been made, Mr. Phillips moved the following resolution : " That this vestry desire to express their unqualified approba tion of the prompt energy and discretion displayed by Mr. Douglas, the master of the workhouse, on the occasion of the late lamentable catastrophe in the lake in the Regent's-park on Tuesday last, the 15th inst. ; and also to acknowledge the great skill and attention shown by Dr. Randall and Mr. Fuller, the medical officers at the infirmary, to the sufferers, as well as the great zeal and energy so kindly exercised by Mr. Douglas, the master, and the whole staff of the house." Mr. Tavener seconded the motion. The Rev. C. J. P. Eyre im pressed upon the vestry the necessity of watching the proceedings at the inquest, for the occasion "night arise for them to show that they, as a body, had represented to the government the desirability of lessening the depth of the water. The vote was then carried frith acclamation. ESCAPES AND INCIDENTS. The "Man with the pipe" writes to contradict the statement that be offered rkl. to anyone who would fetch him out. " I merely," he says, " called for help when I felt myself becoming benumbed, after waiting quietly for fully twenty-five minutes, watching the boats picking up others, who were, if possible, in greater danger than myself ; and also watching the futile, and I must say, blundering efforts of the Royal Humane Society's men to reach me, or even to throw me a rope. I am truly thankful to the two gentlemen who so courage ously threw themselves among the broken ice for my rescue, but who failed to reach me. I think it only an act of jirtioe to George Charles Matthews, of 139, Caledonian-road, who eventually did save me, that his name should be made public, and I consider that if anyone is entitled to a Society's medal he is, considering the courage he displayed, for he is not able to swim." Among the incidents recorded is a display of patient endurance on the part of a man who stood alone for upwards of an hour on a detached piece of ice in the middle of the Broad Water, not uttering a request for succour until he found that be was the last of the survi vors. A pleasure boat was pushed to within about 50 feet of him, when, amidst the breathless suspense of the beholders, he walked quietly along his dangerous path to the boat, which he happily succeeded in reaching, and , having done so, coolly took up an oar, as if nothing bad happened, and assisted his preserver in propelling the craft to shore. The evidence as to the Humane Society's men differs in character. Mr. Winterbourn, of Little Guildford•street, says that while he and others were deep in the water, and were pulling people out, neither the park•keepers nor the society's man who was there would wet themselves or even keep back the crowd from the bank. On the otherhand, Mr. Hanwell, who was up to the neck in the water for 30 minutes, and also caught a rope which was thrown to him for the third time, and was drawn through the ice to the bank side, tenders his hearty thanks to the society men for his rescue. He adds that the house surgeon of the Middlesex Hospital refused his admission when he was taken there in a cab ; he was turned out into the street without a hat. Mr. Blotter, who was engulfed with some 2i others while skating, says that when he had waited in the water about 15 minute*, he begun to feel a stupor creeping over him, and being well aware how fatal such • symptom is, he advised a friend who was in the same condition at his aide, that they should strike out and swim for it. " This," he said, "we did, and after • struggle of another ten minutes, by God's help, we reached the shore. We were taken to the receiving house, which at that time was quite full of people rescued from the sides. I was after wards removed to the Volunteer Tavern, where I met with the most kind and philanthropic treatment from the hands of Mrs. Selby, the proprietress, who supplied me gratui tously with brandy, restoratives, &c. To her I beg moat sincerely to render my heartfelt thanks." "T. T. H.," on coming to the surf►ce, struck out for the nearest island, clearing away the ice as well as he could, and reached it after hard struggling in ►bout 15 minutes. On his way he saw several poor fellows nearer the island than he was suddenly sink exhausted. This gentleman and almost all the correspondents who write on the subject say that men were busily engaged in breaking the ice round the islands, and that there is no doubt that this had much to do with causing the catastrophe. Mr. Spencer says, "All went on till about 3 o'clock, when my attention was drawn to one of the society's men, who was occupying himself industrioualy breaking the ice ACM/ the northeast part of the water. He was sitting on a boat, with two or three hula, their feet on the ice, pushing the boat up and down as they broke the frozen edge. He was engaged at this work for about • quarter of an hour or 20 minutes. I saw several gentlemen speak to him, but he still continued. He next took out of the boat an axe, and made • large hole in the centre of the ice. My brother and I then skated up to him, and asked hint what he was doing this for. He said, 'To let two or three in.' A little more conversation took place, and on my telling him the danger of what he was doing, he said that he was breaking the ice for amusement." A gentleman namedStack,referring to an incident which has been often mentioned, says :—" When the three girls (STAMPED, ld. ADDITIONAL.] fell through the Ice the Humane Society's man was called, he was close by, to assist in the rescue, but he only uttered an oath, walked slowly to the spot, tried to throw his hand-line to the three sinking girls, and never put himself out of the way in the least. The bystanders cried ' Shame !' To all appearance the man was intoxicated. If it had not been for the assistance of the gentleman (Mr. Copeland) these three girls must have perished. To this gentleman, and him alone, all praise is due." One of the icemen has told a correspondent that on Tuesday afternoon he saw a young gentleman skating towards a spot where he knew the ice to be dangerous. He called out to him, and respectfully warned him not to go that way, as the ice was much cut up and was very on. safe. The gentleman turned round on him very sharply— almost savagely—and mid, " I shall go where I like." " This morning, air," the iceman said to the writer, " I recognised his dead body as it was drawn from the water." THE WEATHER AND THE PARKS. A cold, biting, northerly wind prevailed all day yesterday, with a fall of snow threatening. The thenno looter at the Receiving-house in Hyde-park at midnight on Wednesday, and up to 9 o'clock yesterday morning, re gistered2s deg., or 7 leg. below freezing point ;at noon it had risen to 32 ibut at 9 o'clock last night it was again down to 26, with indication of falling still lower. _ _ In the Regent's-park all persons were kept from going on the ice, even where it appeared sound. by the police, large body of whom were placed on duty for that special purpose• - On the Round Pond, Kensington, according to the official report, there were during the day upwards of 5.000 penons ; the ice firm, and no accident of any description. On the Long Water, Kensington-gardens, about 6,000 persons were present, the ice here also being very good, and no casualties. On the Serpentine there were about 7,000 persons. Two immersions took place of a serious nature, and several minor ones, but all were successfully attended to at the Receiving-house. During the afternoon an accident happened to • gentleman while skating. His skates twisted, and he fell heavily on his face, breaking the bridge of his nose, betides receiving other injuries. He was taken up and carried into the Receiving-house,where his wounds were at once attended to by Mr. Williains,the superintendent, and be was enabled to proceed to his home. Several persons experienced injuries from falls, but with the above exceptions, none of a merlons character. At 9 o'clock last night, it being moonlight, several hundred persons were skating, and the banks of the water were crowded with spectators. During the whole day, the promenade and carriage drive had been largely and fashionably attended. About 15,000 persons were on the ice in St. James's park during the day, but no casualty of any consequence was reported. No accident was reported from any of the suburban parks or waters, or from the Crystal Palace. loemen are now on duty at the latter place, by request of the company. The river navigation is still totally suspended, and will remain so until the frost breaks up, the river being full of ice. Mr. L Young, the secretary of the Humane Society, yesterday had an interview with Lord John Manners, the Commissioner of Works, and Sir Richard Mayne, the Police Commissioner, for the purpose of obtaining the assistance of the police to aid the officers of the society in preventing night skating on the Serpentine. He was pro mised that his request should be complied with. A depu tation is also to wait upon the Home Secretary, by appointment, with the object of obtaining the aid of the police generally for the purposes of the society. THE SNOWSTORM IN SCOTLAND. (From she Scotsman.) On Wednesday morning there was again a heavy fall of snow, accompanied with some drifting. The depth of the snow, apart from the drifting, varies considerably in different districts. In this district the avenge depth is from three to four inches. The drifting has not been such as to interfere very materially with the traffic, as regards either the thoroughfare' in town or the public road, in the neighbourhood. Of the snow the city has certainly had its fair share, and both walking and driving have become heavy enough work ; but as yet there has been no serious drawback in either case. The cabs and other vehicles have been able to get along with tolerable safety, if not with much ease ; and even Mr. Croall's coaches, plying to and from the neighbouring towns and villages have been able to make their wonted runs, although of course the roads are very heavy. To this general role there is only one exception—that of the Itlack shiels coach, which was prevented from running by the heavy snow between Blackshiels and Dalkeith. As regards the railways in this quarter, various trains have met with detentions more or leas aggravating, but there has been no absolute block.up, excepting perhaps in the ease of the first train from Musselburgh to Edinburgh yesterday. This train, which started at its usual hour, 8.5 a.m., had not proceeded far when it was brought to a stand on account of the depth of the snow at a point where there had been considerable drifting, and it did not arrive in Edinburgh till 9.20, being • detention of about an hour. The Peebles train, due at Edinburgh at t 4.12 p.m., was about half an hour late, the depth of the snow in some places on that route being seven to eight inches, without much drifting. The through trains from the south have been running pretty regularly, though arriving generally a little late, owing to the heaviness of the roads. The express from London by the East Coast line, due at Edinburgh at 8.30 p.m., was late about forty minutes. It had been snowing pretty heavily along the route, but there bud been no blowing to speak of. The last train on the Waverley route from the south, due at Wa verity Station at '.1.25 p.m., was likewise forty minutes late. The south trains on the Caledonian line have also been running pretty regular, nice of them being more than an hour behind time. As regards the north trains, they have so far been running satisfactorily. Between Edinburgh and Perth there has been little detention, al though the snow is a good deal heavier in that direction than to the south, and still more so than to the west of this lea about Glasgow). The Scottish Central train, due here from Perth last night at a quarter to ten o'clock, was exactly up to time. Even the Highland Railway, be tween Perth and Inverness, was reported last night by te legraph from Perth to be still clear, and to have been so all day. Yesterday, also, there was through traffic to this from Aberdeen, the first since Mon day, or, indeed, since Saturday. A train left Aberdeen is the morning, and got through safely to Perth. Another train left about noon, and, though the snow was drifting a good deal about Laurencekirk, where the principal stop page had been, the train got safely through. It was, how ever, a long time on the way. It did not reach Perth till about 5 p.m. The through passengers had to wait there till half-past 7 o'clock, and they arrived at Edin burgh by the Perth train, already referred to, at a quarter to 10 li.:n. We have received the following reports from our country correspondents : Since Saturday the weather at Dunbar has been of a more stormy nature than has been experienced for several years. A heavy snowfall, which lasted for four hours on Saturday evening, blocked up the roads to a depth in many places of between three and four feet, and rendered the usual means of locomotion both difficult and dangerous. Since that time there have been falls of snow every day, Yesterday,tbe weather was of a very stormy nature. From an early hour in the morning till nearly midday, the snow was driven along in fitful showers, and a depth of several inches was added to the previous fell. Through ' out the remainder of the day snow fell at intervals, and at nightfall the weather had still a very stormy appearance. The roads have been cut where they were most heavily blocked up, and the communication throughout the dis trkt has not been so much retarded as might have been anticipated. The trains, although generally late, have as yet all managed to get through. The keen frost has been taken advantage of by curlers, and a number of friendly matches have been played on the neighbouring pond... At Broxiuouth Park, her Grace the Duchess of Itexburghe and party have enjoyed the amusement of skating on the pond there. The sea yesterday was running high, and there was every appearance of stormy weather outside. A number of vessels have been lying windbound in the harbour for some thee. _ At Jedburgh the storm broke out with renewed vigour I on Saturday, and every day since has had its fall of snow, so that where it has been undisturbed it is lying to • considerable depth. On Saturday night, however, • pretty strong wind prevailed. In exposed districts there was a good deal of drifting, and notwithstanding the ut most care of the shepherds sheep were buried in the snow, and in some instances they could not be extricated with out much trouble. Some of the roads in the district are almost blocked up ; but although the ordinary traffic has been much retarded it has not been stopped, and the local post-runners have as yet been able to take their customary rounds. Out-door labourers are, of course, off work. and although the storm has not been very protracted sonic are already feeling the pinches of poverty. The soup kitchen was opene d a week ago, and yesterday • quantity of orals was distributed to the poor of the town. We understand that several gentlemen have given donations of money towards the alleviation of the distress of the deserving. The keen frost which set in last week at Falkirk con tinues to increase in severity, and is interrupting trade considerably. Yesterday there was • slight fall of snow, [TWOPENCE which will serve to protect the wheat brain' from the ravages of the stone. Traffic on the Forth and Clyde Canal has been very much impeded this week by the Mocks of ice which have accumulated on its surface. It is feared that if the frost continues for a day or two longer, tra ffi c on the canal will be impossible. Yesterday the "breakers" bad great difficulty in prooeeding up from Grangemouth to G row. The railway trains have been very irregular during the past few days ; and yesterday afternoon the first train from Aberdeen for the south since Saturday passed Larbert at half-past three o'clock. The steamer Clydesdale arrived at Oreenork yesterday orta morning and the master re an unusually heavy fall of mow in the north-west ' Mends. The mail column nication had been stopped by the snow, and the oldest inhabitants stated that they had never seen such a snow storm before. A correspondent of the Dundee Adrrrfiser, writing on Tuesday night from Leurencekirk says :—" Since yester day, there has been but little change for the better. Trains and engines, guards and guarded, alike assemble at this great ' Mushy junction ; and anxiously do some ask for trains to the far north, but calmly and truly are all informed that there is no train at present, and will be— none knows when. Passenger trains and goods Satiny Lassie' trains and mixed trains—all come north to • certain limit, but there they ere met by the great white wreaths, and et different stages are they informed that thus far have they come, but no further can they go. The several intermediate stations are in • grand plight with shunted goods train.. Perthhasbeenorderedto bookpassengers no farther than Dubton. This forenoon, after patient working by a band of workmen, spade in hand, for the teat two days, it was determined, if possible, to break the barrier by • stronger power, and faros a way to the land of Aberdonians. Accordingly, three strong engines were coupled together at the station here, and these set forth—to proceed, to return, or, Re a last resort, to stick. Yesterday, two engines required the help of an equal number of locomotives to bring them and • train back out of the snow ; but the efforts to-day were more sueoesiduL Some idea of the rate of their progress may, however, be got from the fact that two young men — coming off the south mail about an hour after the de parture of these engines, and anxious to get on to Stone haven for information about one of the injured men—set out on foot by the turnpike road in order, if possible, to catch the engines and get a " lift," actually made up With the treble locomotive about two miles from Laurencekirk. The snow on most of the line was about an average of five feet in depth, and the engines were able to out through it only by running back and then driving into the white mass at • most tremendous rate. Frequently, they advanced at a speed of perhaps thirty miles per hour, and yet were able to cut through little more than a hundred yards. Hard at work the engine -drivers kept, however, for some hours, till "exhausted nature "—the contents of the ten ders—gave way, and a journey had to be made to Lau rencekirk for water. A fresh supply was got, the work was resumed, and at about sax o'clock, after seven or eight boars' hard driving, the men returned with the tidings that they had managed to cut through to Fordoun. These proceedings took place on the " up" line—that from Aberdeen—in order to meet the party working from the north ; but the men re port that the drift towards the south mid seems to be highest on that side of the cutting. This, then was an ad vance of three-and-a-half miles on one of the rails, but it seems that the snow is thicker beyond Fordoun, being re ported as about level with the bridges. The gang of men, consisting of some fifty or sixty navvies, will now pro ceed to Fordoun, but how long that small number would take to clear the line cannot of course be at all &aerial:red. The first parliamentary train from Perth to-day was well up to time, the second mail was about an hour late, and the express was about an hour and a-half behind time—the latter delay having been occasioned by • break-down of the engine at Forfar. By all of these trains there were fresh arrivals at this, the temporary terminus of the line, so that, but for the departures of disappointed travellers, Laurencekirk, already overflown, must to-night have been at its wits' ends for bed-room acconunodation. A general order, however, was issued in the afternoon by the manager, to all stations, stating that down trains would be run from Perth to Leurencekirk and back, at, or as nearly as possible to, the time of the up trains. By this arrangement. therefore, the ordinary number of passenger trains left for the south—and so the village was somewhat cleated. Still, however, a busy time, and • jolly time, is being held here. To-night, the passengers were requested by the station officials to adjourn to the Town-hall, where refreshments would be supplied at the expense of the railway oempany, and this opportunity was gladly taken by many—for, however lightly fret class peesempare may at present treat the matter, these detentions are a hard ease on poor people travelling with but a thin purse, and with no means of passing their time save that of sitting wearily at the waiting-room tires. The interruption made on Sunday last to the communication betwixt this and Aberdeen is as yet undisturbed. Yesterday we learn, the line was blocked from a point three miles north of Stonehaven down to this station—a distance, in all, of above seventeen miles. To-day, that still remains on the down line ; but on the other rail the operations have suc ceeded in clearing the up line from this station to Fordoun —a run of three miles. It is reported here, too, that the operations in the north have penetrated to Stoneluiven so that, should that be correct, there is now a block of eleven tulles on the up line, and about sixteen miles on the down line. Some of this must be of immense depth ; and when it can be cleared one cannot venture to guess." A correspondent telegraphed to us yesterday morning from Inverness to the effect that the statements which have been made as to the blocking-up of the Highland Railway are incorrect. On flatunlay, Muted, the trains arrived late ; but every day since the mail and ordinary trains have been up to time, and yesterday the whole of the line was dear. To prevent any block, snow-ploughs are attached to all the trains, and they do their work in excellent style. The Dessider Adrerfisir says, "The Montrose and Bemis line still continues entirely blocked against all traffic. An attempt was, we learn by telegraph, made on Tuesday to get an engine through the snow, but this utterly failed, and the engine, after getting out only n short way, had to do it. utmost to get back to Bervie. So the line has been entirely closed since Saturday and as the MOM. plough is at present busy on the seottish North-Eastern line, it was improbable that any attempt towards reopen ing would be made yesterday." Four FOR THE PEOPLE. —The Society of Arts have, at the instigation of Mr. Harry Chester, appointed a committee to inquire into the supply of food, produced in .this and other countries, available fur the working classes, a proposal which recommends itself to aIL There can be no doubt of the fact that our. people are underfed, and now, when there is such a general movement through out the country for the reduction of wages, we fear that the labouring man will be in worse case than ever. As well pointed out by Mr. Chester, there are many substances available for nourishment destroyed simply because these cannot be brought into markets where they would bring prices which would remunerate the producer, especially milk. But there is more than this ; for, in ninny parts, articles of diet which are highly relished, in others are I absolutely despised. To take a single illustration, eels whichare so highlyprized in London,are in Scotland voted unclean, and if caught for amusement ins thrown away as useless. Again, in many places mushruouts grow abundantly, but they are not utilised beerier, the people have a dread or dislike of all " toadstools;' tone of watercreaaes grow, but they are only fit for cows. Many parts of our coast swami with shell fish, which can be caught with very littie trouble, only that trouble is not taken. What, therefore, is meet essential is that the resources of one part should be utilised for the benefit of another, instead of being, as they now are, neglected or despised. We really do not so much want new articles of food introduced as that old and known ones should be properly appreciated, and that the people be shown that things they have been wont to reject are really of meat value. Bread will ever remain the etatf of life, but bread by itself is insipid fare. Let our working-classes be taught where to look for a relish, and they will only want one thing more, which in reality is one of the most essen tial of all—they . must be taught how to cook it. One phase the inquiry shows soma symptoms of assuming which we greatly dread; food cannot be e.tinieted by so many pairs of carbon or so many of nitrogen ; neither of these are capable of nourishing the body. As we have before insisted in our artieies on the Philosophy ;c4 Food," experience is the guide as to what contains nioet nourishment and is best adapted forsupportiug the labour ing man. What is wanted is that the ellwrienue of one district should be made available in another, for rerilly the ignorance displayed in this way is perfectly astonishing ; this, combined with improved means of ].reservation and transit, will do much to relieve, though they may not per fectly remedy, the present deficiencies in the diet of our working-cloaca-7kt Abdietli Tiers and Go:tile. Tli E NAVAL M EDWAL SERVIcE. --At a numerously attended meeting of the students of naves sity College Hospital, on Wednesday evening, Mr. Lenginure, senior house surgeon, in the chair, the following resolution, proposed by Mr. Allchin, seconded be. Mr. Hurlstooe, was carried unanimously :—" That this meeting views with dissatisfaction the proposal of the Admiralty, as reported in the Britten Medina Journal of January 12, to subsi dies medical students of three years' standing until they have become qualified medical practitioners, on condition of their entering into a bond to acne in the navy fur 10 years. It believes this to be likely to bring di-credit on the whole profession, inasmuch as the standard of the navel medical service, far from being raised by it, would be consi derably lowered by the class of men that such an induce ment would be likely to bring into it.
