The Resistance troop-ship, Commander G. Lowe, was undocked on Saturday, and is completing her refitment in the basin. MALTA, DEC. 4.—The French Government steamer Tancrede, with mails from the Levant, arrived late yes terday. Mails for Italy, Sicily, and Marseilles will be closed to-morrow per Leonidas. The French steamer Caire from Beyrout and Alexan dria arrived to-day. She will continue her route to Marseilles direct without loss of time. Her Majesty's steamer Flamer, with the London mails of the 24th ult., arrived here last night from Marseilles, and will proceed to the lonian islands and Greece to-day with the mails. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ripon, with mails and passengers fur India, bringing London dates of the 20th ult., arrived here last night, and will proceed this evening to Alexandria. . . By a letter from Corfu, of the 23d ult., we learn that her Majesty's ship Fantome was to sail on the following day for Athens, to relieve the Amazon, ordered to join the Admiral. Her Majesty's steamer Meteor had been cruising for pirates, but had, of course, been unsuccessful. She re cently enjoyed a pleasant trip with his Royal Highness the Prince Albert of Prussia round the islands, thence to Corinth. His Royal Highness was much pleased with the vessel, and left a remembrance to the crew, and a handsome gold snuff box, with the cipher of his Royal Highness engraved on it, was presented by him to her commander, Lieutenant G. Butler. The French steamer Oronte, from Marseilles and Leg horn, arrived on the 28th ult , and continued her voyage to the Levant on the same day. The French Government steamer Osiris left port on the afternoon of her arrival here (27th ult.), for Alex andria and Beyrout. The French Government steamer Pericles left port on the evening of the 27th ult., for Athens, Smyrna, and Constantinople. Both these vessels carried mails. The barque Priscilla, Captain Purdy, twenty-one days from Odessa and twelve days from Constantinople, passed off this port on the 27th ult., all well, bounce to England. The schooner Firefly, Captain Holland, which arrived here on the 29th ult. from Odessa, spoke on the 22d, in lat. 36, lon. 20.30, the English brig La Bella, in ballast, bound to Constantinople. The Russian brigantine Themistocles, from the Piraeus, arrived here on the 30th ult. Her Majesty's ship Amazon arrivei here on the 30th tilt. from the Piraeus. She will sail, we hear, in a few days to join the squac:ron under Sir W. rarker, Viee- Admiral in command of the fleet in the T4gus, when a court will assemble to inquire into the corporal and other punishments lately inflicted on board. The Neapolitan steamer Maria Christina arrived here from Marseilles and ports of Italy and Sicily on the 2d inst., and left last night on her return voyage. The French steamer Hellespont, expected here on the 30th ult. from the Levant, arrived here on the 2d inst., and proceeded on the same day to Leghorn and Mar seilles. Her Majesty's steamer Jackal, who-e commander, Lieutenant Pasco, has been recently promoted, is ordered home, and may be shortly expected here from the Her Majesty's steamer Trident is still in port, and nothing definitive is yet decided as to the period of her getting under way to relieve the Ardent, Commander G. SP.°l2g. We understand that her Majesty's ship licela wil shortly proceed to Constantinople to relieve the Blood hound in those waters. Her Majesty's brig Siren is, it is reported, about to relieve her Majesty's ship Inconstant at Beyrout, ar.d will probably convey his Lordship the Bishop of Jertualem to Jaffa, a short distance from his see. ADMIRALTY: AP TOINTMENT.—Commander—J. W. Finch, to study at the Steam Factory, Woolwich. ALLEGED HIGHWAY ROBBERY. We last week recorded a somewhat romantic story, as told by a travelling stationer at the City p o li ce station on Saturday night week, that story b e i ng th a t t h e said hawker of Bath post, %%hilst travelli9g to Gloucester, was joined by a youth of about 1.5 or 16, who entered into conversation with him about buying shoes, and on being told that the stationer had a few shillings about him which he intended to invest in second-hand slices, the youth fell lip(wi him with murderous violence, and knocked him about the head with a bludgeon, but that In the struggle which ensued the man of paper got the boy's nasal organ between his teeth, and actually bit it off, leaving the juvenile highwayman to make his way home to his friends minus his nose. We had our sus picions that the whole story was a fabrication; but it appears to have had some foundation in truth, with this trifling discrepancy, that the fellow who made his corn plaint at the police-station was in all probability the first assailant, and no doubt with felonious intent, and that the poor boy whose nese was so unpleasantly gripped was really the aggrieved and the innocent party. It was untortunate that no information was given of the circumstance to the superintendent of th e county police or to any of the officers of that force, so that the first intimation given to the county station reached there through the newspaper on Saturday last, since which time, we understand, Mr. Superintendent Griffin has been indefatigably engaged in investigating the matter, with the following results:—He discovered the boy, whose name is John Wells, who resides at Elmore, and who is about seventeen years of age, and who states that about six o'clock on Saturday evening, the 28th ult., he was met by a travelling man on the side of the Gloucester and Berkeley Canal, and walked with him for some distance until they arrived at the second mile post; that as they walked along the man asked him what he gave for his boots, to which he repli , d eleven shillings. The man said he wanted a pair himself; but could not afford to give so much mot ey for them, lle also remarked that if the boy had been at Gloucester fair that day he could have earned some money, to which the lad replied that he had been there, and had received two shillings for driving some sheep to Charlton Kings. The ruffian then knocked him down with a blow from his fist in his face, knelt on him when he was on the ground, and beg a n f ee li ng for his pockets. The boy cried " Murder," and the man seized him by the throat, threatened to throw him into the canal, and in the scuffling did get the poor boy's nose in his mouth and bit it, but only left the marks of his teeth in it; he did not bite it off. The boy begged for mercy, and the fellow ultimately let him go, giving him back a knife which he had taken out of his pocket; but the boy missed his 25., and supposes that the man appropriated them to himself, or that they were lost in the struggle. The boy Wells states his willingness to come forward at any time, and his story is, to a certain extent, confirmed by his baying been met not many minutes after the rencontre by a neighbour, who saw the state he was in, and to whom he related the attack that had been made upon him. With regard to the pedlar, whom we think we must now regard as the real Dick Turpin in this curious adventure, all trace of him has been lost, and it seems probable that, for fear the boy should make cemplaint to the police, he determined to turn the tables upon him and be th e fi rst to have his story beard, re ferring to app ear i n the character or a prose p prosecutor rather then to sta n d at t h e bar as a criminal charged with highway robbery which and v i o l ence. There is agoeod reason also to believe that in th at part of the story related to the dreadful injurie s b e pretended to have re• ceived about the head,. he was cl ever enough to deceive the vigilant and expertencedeyoa of Mr. Supiskinteadent Williams, to whom lie told his story. It hasYeaii( esser . tained that the fellow arrived at Parry's lodgin g -h ouse in Leatherbottledane on the evening in question ; that he did not appear to be hurt except on his head ; but that he tied u p hi s h ea d w ith a handkerchief, went to the police-station, and on his return retained the same uninjured app earance , an d, a ft er s l ee pi ng a t P a rry , s that night, went away the next morning. The activity of Superintendent G r iffi n i n so f ar unrave lli ng this affair is creditable to him as an officer ; but it is right we should state, on the other side, that this new version of the whole story does not obtain implicit credence, and that mystery is still supposed to attach to some of the circumstances of this singular narrative.—Gloucester Journal. INCREASE or FEVER.—TIVe understand that this fearful malady is greatly on the increase in Glasgow aed suburbs, so much so, that at the Police Board the Lord Provost has been waited upon by a deputation from the Fever Hospital, with the view of having additional ac commodation afforded for patients, the state of the hospital being such that the very floors of the institution are fully occupied. Ms Lordship brought the matter befor e the Police Board on I•londay, when it was re mitted to the committee.—Scotch Reformers' Gazette. VORACITY Or TIIE COD.—A very plentiful and seasonable supply of fish reached Swansea on Friday she Saturd ay l ast ; indeed, taking into considerati on the present high price of provision s of all kinds, it m a y be considerecla very seasonable relief to the poor. As a proof of the extraordinary low price of this valuable commodity, we c an state that an and p urc h ase d a cod fish, weighi ng between eight nine pounds, on Saturday for and on its I, op er e e ned for the pur pot. of cleansing its inside, the r e g found twenty two herring s therein, some of them remarkably- large, stDd_ tal l ibi ti nt si gns of anirall ion.— Cam.

She bent sails on Friday ; in furling them to-day, after dinner, an acci dent happened to an able seamen named Charles Holder, who, while engaged in the above duty on the maintop sail yard, lost his balance and fell in to the water, striking, in his descent, the maintop-rim, whence his body bounded off the lower rigging and struck the spare topsail-yard. He was promptly picked up by the seamen of the ship, who plunged through the lower-deck ports and held him while a boat's crew got him into a barge. He was taken on board the Vengeance in a very ex hausted and apparently hopeless state, but the judicious and prompt attention of Dr. Wallace and the other assist ant-surgeon of the ship soon restored animation, and the sufferer was put to bed, where he soon recovered his senses and had his wounds dressed, which, although very serious, are not expected to terminate fatally. The Vengeance has at length nearly got her complement, which is made up thus :—Captain and ward-room officers, 17 ; subordinate officers, 17 ; warrant and petty officers, 44, eight of whom are " idlers ;" abl e seamen , 118, 24 of whom are " idlers ;" ordinary seamen, 76 ; landsmen, 31; marines, 70; first-class boys, 95 ; second class boys, 21 ; total, 489 ; wanted 11. The Netley tender sailed for Plymouth this morning. The Cyclops steam-frigate, Captain W. Lapidge, came into the harbour this afternoon to coal and make good defects. IRE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 15, COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert walked early yester day in the plantations of Osborne House.

Seymour, and Captain Broke, have been visit ing General Sir Edward and Lady Kerrison, at Oakley Park, Suffolk. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—MONDAY. The business transacted yesterday failed to produce any effect on the odds ; none in fact can be looked for so long as the horses are confined to straw beds. After stating, therefore, that the animals most currently in favour were Epirote, Planet, Glentilt, Wanota, and Red Hart, it will be sufficient if we preface our usual price current with a list of the principal transactions :-8 to 1 to about 50/. agst Van Tromp, 15 to 1 to 651. agst Epi rote (16 to 1 laid once), 1,000 to 50 two or three times agst Planet, 2,000 to 80 twice agst Glentilt, 2,000 to 60 agst Allertonian, 2,000 to 50 agst Tantivy, a similar bet, and 2,500 to 50 agst Red Hart, 2,000 to 40 each agst The Liberator, Projectile, and the Miss Martin cot, (plenty of layers agst The Liberator), 45 to 1 in fifties agst Cossack, 1,000 to 15 three or four times, and after wards 3,000 to 30 agst War Eagle, 1,000 to 15 each agst the Monimia colt and Galvanic Ring, and 10.000 to 100 agst Clarendon.

SHIPMENTS OF BRITISH WOOLLENS TO CHINA. (From the Leeds Mercury.) We have been favoured, just before going to press, with the following Return of Shipments of British Woollens to China during the present year, with the comparative exports of former years. Want of time forbids our making the remarks we should have wished to offer on this important document, which is from the highest authority; but we cannot refrain from noticing the striking confirmation it gives to the arguments lately urged in favour of an immediate as well as serious re duction in the duty on tea. The falling off in the trade of this district with China is now proved to be most serious; and we have no doubt that the cotton districts present a result equally indicative of the darkened pros. pccts of al►, capitalists end labourers alike, who have hitherto been engaged in supplying the Chinese markets.

MR. O'CONNELL AND THE REPEAL SECESSION. DUBLIN, DEC. 13.—The following important letter has been addressed to the Freeman's Journal by Mr. O'Connell. It would now appear that there is no pros pect of a reconciliation between the Repeal Association and the seceders:— "Merrion-square, Dec. 12, 1846. " Sir,—l return you the resolutions which you sent me unsought for on my part. I return them, lest by retaining them I should be supposed to acquiesce in the gross inaccuracy they exhibit of the real state of the question touching the conference proposed by me. "In one of these resolutions-you talk, as of a matter of doubt, whether any legal question would arise at the conference. "It is, perhaps, my duty—at all events it is my incli nation—to inform you that the primary, if not the ex clusive object of the proposed conference, is to ascertain and define matters of law. " In truth the affair stands thus:— " First—The Repeal Association is, beyond any sha dow of doubt, a lawful assembly, not impeachable for any breach of the law. "My proof is this. The Repeal Association has stood the ordeal of the state trial—not only without any prosecution, but without any officer of the crown, cr any one of the court, intimating against it the slightest charge of illegality. "The Repeal Association is a legal body, because it disclaims any use of force and arms to achieve the repeal of the union statute. Because it disclaims the use of physical force to achieve the repeal of the union statute, every member of the Repeal Association is at present perfectly safe from any prosecution. " Would the members be equally safe if it were to admit any intermixture of the physical force principle as part of the means for obtaining such repeal? " I am decidedly of opinion that the members would not, in such a case, be safe from a well-founded prose cution. "I take these propositions to be clear in law:-- " First—That any asssembly admitting any species of physical force as part of its means of obtaining a repeal of an Act of Parliament is an unlawful assembly, liable to be dispersed by any magistrate, and its members to be punished by indictment. " Secondly—That any such assembly is not only un lawful, but that any acts done by it in furtherance of its object constitute a treasonable fact, rendering the mem bers liable to conviction and execution for treason. " This opinion, in point of law, I have at repeated public meetings proclaimed. On one occasion, in the Association, I brought down the legal authorities, and quoted then chapter and page. " It is observable, that often as I have repeated this legal doctrine, no one has had the hardihood to deny its *accuracy. " It follows, if I be right, that the seceders cannot safely be admitted into the Repeal Association, unless upon the fullest and most explicit disclaimer of resorting to any physical force means to achieve the repeal of the union. "In order to be enabled to receive the seceders into the Repeal Association again, it should be ascertained beyond a doubt whether I am right in point of law or not. " At former periods in my struggles for advancing the popular cause my judgment in the matter of law was found eminently useful, and my opinion of the state of the law was trusted to with implicit confidence. And I have the comfort to know that such confidence was never regretted nor shown by any fact to be misplaced. " Now my most anxious desire is to lay the founda tion of perfect conciliation ; er, if that be refused, to have the universal people understand who it is to whom the continuance of the dissension is justly attributable. " I stand altogether upon the law. My sole difficulty rests upon the legal objection to the admission of the seceders. " What, then, is to be done ? "Is it not the wise course to ascertain beyond n doubt what the law is upon the subject ? If the-law will admit of any relaxation I am quite ready, of course I am, to give the seceders the full benefit of that re laxation. " I repeat the question. " What is to be done ? My answer is ready, and I propose to do the thing—that is, to hold an amicable conference, to ascertain, in the first instance, the state of the law. " This should be a preliminary inquiry. It would be idle to talk upon the terms upon which the seceders should be re-admitted, if we are prevented by the law from re-admitting them, except at the peril of our lives. " Let us, then, ascertain most amicably the state of the law, and leave every other question (if other ques tions there be) undiscussed until the state of the law is ascertained. " It was with a - view to ascertain thus amicably the law of the case that I proposed the conference. I se lected the most unexceptionable persons to be members of that conference, including even myself, for I named before Mr. Smith O'Brien. I also named four barristers —three of them more eminently successful in their pro fession than any gentlemen of their standing in the British dominions; the fourth possessed of talents equally entitling him to a success in his profession, which I believe ought not to be far distant. " The four are— Sir COLEMAN O'LOGHLIN, Mr. O'HEA, Mr. O'HAGAN, and Mr. Dit.LoN. " It is not likely that any man will be found who will dispute the accuracy of their conjoint legal opinion. If that opinion be identical with mine, there are many of the seceders who will acquiesce and submit to the law, and join the Association once again in its struggles for Irish nationality. If the law be declared otherwise than I think it is, I shall acquiesce at once and admit my error. But in either case, no question of terms can arise until the law is ascertained, and fully and unequi vocally submitted to. " There can be no paltering in a double sense. The law, when once ascertained, must be the rule of all our actions ; nothing else would be just—nothing else would be wise—nothing else would be safe. " The conference cannot do any harm ; it may, and I think must, do good. It will show that I am ready to carry out conciliation to the full extent of law. " It will also show who they are who would prevent conciliation ; or, at all events, not avail themselves of its influence. " I am bound to say that I have not been met with a spirit corresponding to my own, in the desire to put an end to dissension. " A most respectable clergyman, of the mildest con ciliatory demeanour, and a high order of intellect - " Such men as he Give grace to holy ministry," took the trouble of going down to the county Limerick to Mr. Smith O'Brien, with my message of peace. " He, alas! had hi s j ourne y i n va i n . I h ave hi s au thority for se) ing that Mr. Smith O'Brien decidedly re jected the conference. " I regret extremely ; but it makes it only the more imperative duty upon me to redouble my exertions for the sole remaining object of my political life—the repeal of the union. "I arn, Sir, your obedient servant, " DANIEL O'CONNELL. " T. Devin Reilly, Esq." STATE OF THE COUNTRY. There is no part of Ireland exempt from the terrible calamity by which we aro now afflicted. The northern districts, heretofore comparatively free from destitution, are now suffering deep distress; and even in the manu facturing towns, Drogheda, Belfast, and Lisburn, there is a vast amount of destitution. In Drogheda, on Tuesday last, a meeting attended by all the leading inhabitants, was held at the Tholsel, to adopt measures for affording relief and employment, until the Board of Works should be enabled to extend operations in the district. The Roman Catholic Primate, Most Rev. Dr. Crony, addressed the meeting on the necessity of prompt exer. Lion. "We must," said that excellent prelate, " call on the inhabitants to subscribe liberally, although it is not very long since we called on them before. But we could not, no one cou ld, f oresee t h e greater calamity which has since befallen the country. That calamity is far more deep, and more extensively spread over the country, and we must appeal to all for aid." Arrangements were made for a general subscription. DEATH OF THE SON OF CAPTAIN KENNEDY FROM HYDROPHOBIA. The Limerick Chronicle says—" Sad gloom prevails over the neighbourhood of Newcastle, in consequence of the death, from hydrophobia, of a fine boy, seven years old, son of Capt Kennedy, agent to the Devon estates, who was bitten five weeks ago by a stray cur dog." Lady Blessington (Miss Power), the authoress, and friend of Moore, the poet, is at Besborough, the scat of the Lord-Lieutenant. LIMERICK, DEC. 12.—Three vessels arrived in our port from Odessa, Vigo, and New York, with cargoes of Indian corn, since 'Wednesday, besides four vessels from London, Glasgow, and Waterford, with flour and grain. We are shipping corn and provisions every day for Lon don and Glasgow! The Isabella, from New York, with Indian corn, arrived here yesterday, and was purchased at 15/. per ton. J. N. Russell and Sons, of this city, have entered notice of application to the grand jury for 2,3001., amount of loss sustained by them in consequence of the plunder of their ship, the Sea Lark, and her cargo, at Ballybunnion, last month. DARING OUTRAGE.—Thomas Gabbett, Esq., of Cor bally House, and his friend, Mr. Bindon, returning from a shooting excursion near Castle Lake, on Monday last, were intercepted at Truogh by three men, one of whom ordered Mr. Gabbett to deliver his gun, while the other two rushed up on M r . Bi n d on an d s t rugg l e d to disarm him. Mr. Gabbett, who had a valuable double-barrelled piece, kept his adversary at a few paces' distance by an earnest expression of his resolve to shoot the man if he dare approach him nearer. This fellow immediately gave a loud whistle, and in less than five minutes fifty country fellows ran across the fields to the spot with spades and shovels, the above fello w ca lli ng ou t, " Take the gun fro m th e ruffian." Mr. Gabbett then repeated his former determination not to surrender, warning them of the consequence, and telling them who he was. Two of the crowd who knew Mr. Gabbett then interfered, and prevailed upon the leader and his gang to let Mr. Gabbett told his friend pass on, which they did, and both gentlemen brought home their arms safe, to the evident discomfitu re of the principals in this daring attack. — Limerick Chronicle. THE FAIRY WOMAN. "—On the Bth instant the county coroner held an inquest on the body of a man named JDenis Roche, of Knockrow, barony of St. Mul lins, um ier the following circumstances :—" It appeared that th.e deceased, who was employed on the public works, had suddenly disappeared, and was not heard of by his family during the last fortnight. After being paid h'is wages on the day he was last seen, he went into a public-house at Babana, to drink with some of the workmen, and as his body was found last week in a turf bog at Cranagh, it is supposed he lost his way, had fallen into a turf bog, and was drowned. His family having k ;parched the district in vain for the body, pro ceeded iy Enninortby t 9 a ' fairy woman,' that is, one who held communication with the invisible world, and gave her it, on condition that she would inform them of the particulars respecting the death of the deceased. Having taken two clear days to consult her invisible friends, the fairies,' she announced that she had seen deceased himself, and that he was murdered by two men, one of whom had deceived a fair-haired girl in the neigh bourhood, but the fairies threw no light on the locality of the murder. The body was accidently found on the 7th instant. The coroner and the jury, we presume, did not placed implicit reliance on the " fairy" woman's superhuman knowledge ; for, as the body presented the ordinary appearance of death by drowning, the jury found a verdict accordingly.—Carlow Sentinel. THE WEATHER.—The frost has become so intense that the Liffey is frozen even where the tide runs. This has not occurred for several years. The canals are also frozen. The weather is extremely severe, and must greatly aggravate the sufferings of the poor. LIMERICK, DEO. 12.—After a most intense hard frost yesterday morning, there was a copious fall of snow, succeeded by very severe frost, with an intense cold at mosphere the entire of yesterday. THE WEATHER and the PARKS. The skating season in the several parks commenced yesterday, although the ice was far from being safe, and loss of life unfortunately resulted. HYDE Hatuic..—ln this park the number of persons surrounding the Serpentine was very considerable, but the skaters, the ice not being above one inchin thickness, were very limited. Upon the long water the ice is about one inch and a half thick, and the number of persons who ventured on during the day, including a few mem bers of the Skating Club, were not more than 200. During the day, five persons broke through near the edge, but were speedily rescued by the lookers-on. The round pond in Kensington -gardens had about 150 per sons on it, no accident occurring. The thermometer at the receiving-house in Hyde -park at eight A.X.. showed the mercury to be as low as 18 ; at twe l ve o ' c l oc k , i t had risen to 28, but at six, P.M., the mercury was at 21, with wind in the north-east. ST. JAMES'S-RARIL.—In this park the number of per sons venturing on the ice were about 250, but they were mostly confined to the west end, opposite Buckingham Palace. At the east end the ice was considered to be so unsafe that Superintendent Gochrey caused the edges to be broken by the icemen. About half-past two o'clock an accident happened by which a man named Wright, potman at the king's Arm s , Brewer- street, Pimlico, lost his life. It appears that a young man named George Pilley, a paper-hanger, of 169, Goswell-street, broke through the ice, near the fountain, into seven feet water. Thomas Thomas, of 5, Grove, Mile-end, went to his assistance, but•the ice also broke with him, and they both became immersed. The unfortunate deceased went to their assistance, but before getting near them the ice broke with him also, and he disappeared. Iceman Pavey succeeded, by means of a "breaker ladder" in rescuing Thomas, and Winnett, an ot h er man b e l ong i ng to the Royal Humane Society, rescued Pilley. The drags were then put in requisition, and in about four minut es W r i g ht was brought up. The whole of the men, much exhausted, were conveyed to the marquee, where they were attended by Mr. M'Cann, surgeon, and Thomas and Pilley reco vered, but all efforts to restore Wright were unavailing. The body was removed to St. Martin's workhouse to await the coroner's inquiry. REGENT'S-PARIL.—The ornamental ice in this park was visited by about 600 skaters and sliders during the day. The only accident worthy of notice happened about two o'clock, when W. Bennett, 27, Guildford street, Russell-square, and W. Vincent, 15, New-street, Dorset-square, broke through the ice near Clarence gate. They were speedily rescued by the icemen. ACCIDENTS IN THE FROST.—Yesterday the metropo- litan streets and suburbs were to a great extent covered with ice, occasioning many serious and fatal accidents. In the 'Waterloo-bridge-road, a horse attached to a cart heavily laden with hay, proceeding up the hill towards the bridge, in consequence of the slippery condition of the ground, fell down, and the cart being overturned, a boy named Farley, who was seated at the top, was dashed upon the ground, and sustained a deep fracture on the head. On the same spot, shortly afterwards, a boy accidentally slipped down, and before he could recover himself, the wheels of a cab had passed over his chest. Two other accidents of nearly a similar nature occurred during the day on London bridge, and in Fleet-street, opposite Fetter-lane, result • ing in the serious maiming of two females named Clara Lloyd and Emma Morgan. On Holborn-hill, a power ful horse, attached to a brick cart, was thrown down opposite Shoe-lane, and several persons who assisted in detaching the animal were severely kicked and injured by the horse, which the owner was compelled to kill. Very numerous accidents occurred on nearly every bridge, owing 0 the horses of omnibuses, &c., being unable to ascend the slippery roadway. An unloaded coal barge, belonging to a merchant of Southwark, was found drifting down the river, and it was ascertained that the barge had left Chelsea in the charge of a lighter man named. David Smith, and from marks ou the barge it is supposed that that individual was walking along the gunwale, which was covered with frozen snow, when he had slipped overboard. IRISH RAILROADS. THE WATERFORD, WEXFORD, WICKLOW, AND DUBLIN COMPANY. (From the At(al.) The importance of railways to Ireland is obvious. To a country possessing almost every element of national prosperity except capital, they present the most direct means of ultimately supplying that great want. In the present circumstances of Ireland they are peculiarly valuable as a source of immediate employment, and as a vital agent for vivifying existing forms of industry and creating new ones. But railroad enterprise, to be of practical utility to Ireland, must be conducted with the utmost caution. The danger is as imminent as the utility. Ireland is not in a condition for experiments. She cannot afford failures. The only railroads that can, in the existing state of things, be of any use to Ireland, or that ought to be sanctioned in that country, are railroads that present a reasonable chance of success. Projects that are likely to expire amongst the gam blers in the share market—or upon which the calls arc never likely to be paid up—or that cannot yield remunerating returns, even if established—ought to be abandoned. The great money power of England enables her to play with risks which would be destruction to Ireland. In England it is all very wt It to say that wherever there is a turnpike road there must be a rail way ; and no doubt, in the end, the exulting prophecy will come to pass, because we have plenty of money to carry us over the unprofitable interval which must elapse before it can be realised. But in that interval the bulk of the subscribers to an Irish railroad would perish. These sounding generalities, which represent the omni potence of capital rather than the inevitable operations of necessity, are wholly inapplicable to Ireland. There is no money power in Ireland ; not a superfluous shilling to expend upon theoretical schemes ; hardly enough, indeed, to supply the exigencies of the hour. In Ireland, therefore, every advance made in this direction must be made with a forewarning of the gravest responsibility. There must be no squandering ; no wild speculation ; or, instead of conferring benefits upon the country, the extension of railways will only increase her embarrass ments, and place her still farther beyond the reach of ordinary social remedies. The company whose title we have cited above affords a very complete illustration of the practical evils we ap prehend from rash and ill-advised railroad speculations in Ireland. The objections to this line are so strong, and lie so conspicuously on the surface, that, had there not been n special inducement, to which we will come presently, it would be surprising how a sufficient num ber of subscribers could have been drawn together in the first instance, or why, having had ample time to con sider their situation, they do not now dissolve. The failure of such a line, with a uominal capital of a mil lion sterling, would entail incalculable calamities upon the country. She could not endure the consequences of so fatal an error. She lacks the elastic spring by which wealthier communities recover themselves from a false step. The objections to this line are twofold. First, it can not pay—an objection large enough in itself to include all others. Second, it is impossible to raise the requi site capital. Undoubtedly these are peculiar features in a railway which has already procured its Act of Parlia ment. But it must be remembered that the scene of these eccentric :operations is Ireland, and that the sub scription to the deeds was obtained at a time when na tional credulity was agape for every project, however absurd, and when it was believed that there was a sor cery in prospectuses to conjure traffic out of a desert. The line proposes to run from Dublin, through Wick low and Wexford, to Waterford. Any person ac quainted with the country must know that there is no business intercourse of any kind along this road. The only portion of it traversed by a travelling population is that which is embraced in the first fifteen or twenty miles into Wicklow, whose beauties, surrounded by a cestus of romantic hills, never fail to attract the wander ing eyes of visitors, and the pic-nits of the slumberous metropolis. Through the summer, possibly, a few pleasure-trains might yield a remunerating return. The value of property, too, in the immediate neighbourhood, might be improved. But all this would be only fair weather prosperity. The moment winter sets in, the oc cupation of the green vallies and mazy woods is over ; and the business of a Wicklow railroad would virtually cesse. People are not fond of making gay excursions in dreary December, or eating cold dinners on the saturated grass, under a forest of umbrellas. The rest of the line passes for the most part through a country disomlly relieved here and there by stretches of sand, barren heaths, and long undulating hills. The population is wretched, and, in some places, plunged into the lowest depths of misery. A few farms are scattered at distant intervals, but none of them rich or large ; gentlemen's seats are still more rare ; and there are no evidences anywhere of the material progress which either requires a railroad, or which is likely at present to be benefited by one. The whole intercourse along the line is now carried on by two coaches—a morn ing coach and a night mail; and so languid is the traffic, that the post-office finds it necessary to allow a much higher rate of mileage here than in other places, to ena ble the contractors to make up for the deficiency of passengers. Yez an Act of Parliament has been ob tained for constructing a railway through these unpro fitable districts, over which a miracle must be worked before any prospect of a return can ever be looked for. The history of the company is instructive. It started under the auspices of the Board of the Great Western of England, who contemplated a chain of communication through the South line across to Wexford, and thence by this new line to Dublin, forming, upon the whole, a more accessible route between London and Dublin, than any now in existence. The name of the Great Western was a tower of strength. The Irish constituency be lieved that they were safe under the shelter of that vast monopoly; and in the confident expectation that the lire would be either leased or purchased by the Great Western, the shares were rapidly subscribed. As the time, however, approached for closing the Parliamentary contract, it seems that there was not a sufficient amount subscribed to enable the directors to go before Parlia • mert, and during the last three days a number of in fluential gentlemen put their names to the contract for various sums from 10,0001. to 300,000/. each. They were just in time to save the Bill, and the Bill was saved accordingly. But it is now discovered that the Great Western has no intention whatever of either leasing or purchasing the line. The Great Western intends to wait very wisely till the line is formed; and then it is not im probable the Great Western may treat with the ruined directory. In the meanwhile, what course is the direc tory adopting? The English reader will infer at once that they have determined to wind up and dissolve, since the temptation which called them into existence is with drawn. No:—he will never guess that, in the face of difficulties which may be described as being absolutely insurmountable, they have announced their intention of prosecuting their scheme! Now, this is precisely one of the projects which, if persisted in, must inflict irreparable mischief upon Ireland. The mass of the allottees are Irish; they are persons of small, or of no capital; they subscribed on the faith of the Great Western; and now, finding that there is no expectation of assistance from that quarter, they would gladly retire from the speculation. But how is this to be done? The majority of them have parted with their scrip, although it seems not with their responsibility The directors have announced their determination to re gister the original allottees, and thus ifix them for the calls. Let us see the effect of this proceeding, By holding the allottees to their responsibility, the directors deprive themselves of the means (if means can ever be obtained) of carrying out the line. The bulk of the allottees cannot pay their calls ; they could as easily pay the national debt. Any attempt to enforce payment will only aggravate the general difficulty. On the other hand, the act of shutting out from registration the pur chasers of scrip, who may he presumed to be upon the whole a more solvent class than allottees who subscribe and sell, is an act of gross injustice, which literally amounts to a forfeiture of property. This movement, then, of the directors affects two very large constituen cies—the allottees who are still chained to their respon sibility, and the holders of scrip who are threatened with confiscation. It has seldom happened that such a com plicated power of doing mischief has been roncentrated in the action of a Railway Committee. But what is to become of the great supporters of the line who subscribed 20,0001. and 30,0001. each ? Are they to be held responsible with the rest of the allottees? Everybody knows that subscriptions of this extravagant kind are merely intended as a sort of nominal guarantee to answer the immediate purpose of securing the Act, and never intended to be exacted. The greater part of the shares of these gentlemen are, doubtless, distributed over a wide expanse in the hands of the men of straw. But the question still remains, what is to be done with them ? If the directors mean to deal out impartial jus tice (or impartial injustice) alike to all, the question an swers itself, and these gentlemen must pay for their .pa triotism. But, as the directors have a right to reject whom they please, there is an escape for patriots which will readily suggest itself to the board. We presume that none of these large subscribers will be impounded for their subscriptions. But they grievously deceive themselves if they imagine that the y wil get loose from their responsibility in that way. They are in th e per plexity of a man who. trying .to escape from a fire, rushes into a pond. The choice is between burning and drowning. The dilemma is this. They are either li a bl e, or not p liable. If liable, th ey e have ensp e et, incurredw iwill be very a responsibility willingonsibis lit t y o which few of them, w e discharge ; and if not liable, they h ave i ncurred a responsibility from the ine v it a bl e failure of the greater means to carry on the line, through the pauperism of the parties to whom their shares have been transferred. I n either case, the weight will finally descend upon t h em , either from their own direct responsibility, or from the extinction of all other sources of capital. It is clearly their own interest, therefore, as well as their duty to the country, to bring the affairs of this company to an immediate solution. We cannot conceive a single argument in defence of such a project at such a time. If there was the slightest prospect of eventual SUCCeSS ; if there was the slightest hope of being able to raise the requisite capital—the perseverance of the directors would command, as it would deserve our warmest applause. But there is no such prospect —no such hope. To persist in such a de sign at a juncture like this is to draw down wilfully fresh fli , asters—to brave the evil genius of the country, in the midst of misfortunes that already overwhelm the energies of the people. The true policy—the honest and upright course —is to dissolve this hopeless company, and to re turn back to the scripholders all the money that can now be snatched from a career of aimless expenditure. Delay will only absorb more of the deposit, and leave a scantier residue to be distributed. It is possible the di rectors might negotiations to lease or sell their rights. Every It of this kind should be tried before the interests of the constituency shall have been finally sacrificed. Such arrangements have been fr•Nuently carried out with excellent results in England, and might be attended with still happier effects in Ireland. But whatever course the directors may take, the al lottees and scripholdere bare but One interest in common. The ship Queen, from London, takes out 9,000 pieces long ells, not included in the above return. One of those cool acts of injustice which Govern ment boards alone can perform with impunity has just been laid before the public in a printed statement by Messrs. Travers and Son. It appears that at the close of last year this firm imported a considerable quantity of French plums in the ornamented paper boxes made purposely for that description of fruit, part of which were allowed to pass at the Custom-house in the usual manner, while 45 cases were stopped for duty upon the boxes. The article being a perishable one, Messrs. Travers lost no time in memorializing the Commissioners of Customs, which memorial, after two subsequent applications and a delay of a fortnight, was at length attended to, and the goods were ordered to be released. This delay, however, involved a loss of 9( 1. (the fruit having been sold immediately on its ar rival to buyers, who afterwards cancelled their bargains), and a claim fur compensation was ac cordingly preferred. This claim was met by a direct refusal, and an appeal to the Commissioners of the Treasury produced a similar result. Compelled thus to put up with a loss arising from en avowed error on the part of the Custom-house, the sufferers, with a view to pretect themselves and the trade for the future, peti tioned that some definite order might be made, by which they might be guided in their operations, and which would prevent a repetition of such oc currence s. T o this petition no answer was returned, and it is now alleged by Messrs. Travers that some packages of French fruit have this year again been stopped under precisely similar circumstances. In the absence of explanations, the statement places the conduct of the Commissioners in a very unfavourable light ; but, di scre di ta bl e as it is, there is reason to fear that many analogous instances daily occur in the various minor departments of public business, which, in like manner, are carried off with high-handed indifference, in the belief that the details are too insignificant for the sufferers to succeed in bring ing them into notice.— Times.

THE RIVER PLATE.—LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.--AC counts to the close of September from Monte Video, re ceived via America, state that an attempt had been made by a partisan of Oribe to assassinate Rivera. The at tempt was unsuccessful. The assassin was secured, and was being tried. DESTITUTION AND DEATH. Last night an inquest was held by Mr. Bedford, at the Tw•o Chairmen, Dartmouth-street, Westminster, as to the death of Elizabeth Dodderneade. Mr. Lavies, of Great George-street, surgeon, who had opened the body, said ho found it very much attenuated, but there were no external marks of violence. From the state of the viscera, and also finding no organic disease, he could come to no other opinion than that destitution was the cause of death. Mr. Barber, the landlord of the White Hart, Little St. Ardrew-street, Seven Dials, said he was the brother of the deceased, who had been ivell off when she married, but her husband had been extravagant. lie had himself done what he could for th em , and had made them an allowance until lately. They had an allowance from Marylebone, but in consequence of their state becoming known, it was stopped at the beginning of the year, and they were requested to go into the house, but she said she would starve first. They had been in great want for some tune, and had not common necessaries. She was subject to fits, and was very violent and obstinate. James Doddemeade, the husband, said he was now a jobbing carpenter. They had been in great distress for seven years. When the allowance was stopped in Mary lebone, he never applied there or in Westminster, for he would not let her go into the workhouse. CORONER—Did you give her anything before she died? Doddemeade—l gave her a little coffee I had, and a piece of bread, but she could not swallow the bread ; she soon after died in my arms. Mr. Thomas, the receiving officer of Westminster, stited. that the last time he saw them was in February, when he wished them to go into the house ; but they would not, and no other application had been made to him. The jury returned a verdict, that " the death of the deceased was caused by the want of the common neces saries of life." ENGLISH WILLS IN FaaNce.—l3y the will of Mr. William Stacpoole, which has already given rise to much litigation, he left to each of two daughters a sum of 3,000/. sterling, but ordered that if either should marry without the consent of Mr. James Stacpoole, she was not to receive her legacy, and it was to go to her sister. Miss Eleanore, Staepoole, wishing to contract a marriage with M. Caillet, an officer of iutantry in garri son at Strasbourg, applied frequently to Mr. James Stacpoole for his consent in writing, but could receive no answer. She therefore resolved to summon him before the Civil Tribunal, in order that he might be compelled to give his consent, or that the court might order the clause in the will to be set aside. M. Caillet also appeared as an intervening party. The cause was heard on Thursday, when, after hearing coun self for the plaintiff and defendant, the court declared itself incompetent to interfere, the parties being both English. We extract the following from the decision of the Tribunal, as pronounced by the President :—" It the French tribunals take cognizance, as between foreigners, of certain urgent and provisional affairs, yet as this is only a faculty which they are at liberty to use or not, and as in the present cause the plaintiff and the defend ant are both English, and the question is, besides, the appreciation of a will governed by the laws of England, it is not a case in which the tribunal can enter upon the affair. That as Caillet, who has come forward with the plaintiff, without having any quality to authoris e hi s doing so, cannot plead in his - favour article 14 of the civil code, inasmuch as he is unable to show that any con vention existed between him and the defendant, the tribunal declares itself incompetent, and condemns the plaintiff and Caillet to pay the costs."—Galignani.

OPENING OF THE LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RAILWAY. We mentioned in our last that a part of the directors of this line had proceeded on Friday morning on a trial trip from Carlisle to Lancaster. The directors were John Dixon, Esq., and G. 11. Head, Esq., who were joined at Pent ith by E. W. Hasel, Esq., chairman of the directors, 11. Howard, Esq., of Greystoke Castle, and Lieut.-Colonel Macl.an. 'they were accompanied by T. C. Heysham. Esq., P. Di xon , Esq., Mr. Steel, of the Carliile Journal, Mr. Larmer, resident engi .eer, Mr. Collister, resident engineer of the Caledonian Rail way, Mr. Mould, Mr. Hemberow, Mr. Green, and two or three other gentlemen connected with the works. The train consisted of the engine, tender, and three car riages. It proceeded at a rate of upwards of thirty miles an hour, and would have reached Penrith (18 miles) in about 35 minutes, but for a slight accident when about two miles from that place. By some unfor tunate blunder the person appointed to attend to the switches, had neglected his duty—the points were in the wrong direction, and the engine and tender were thrown off the rails. The train was at the time pro ceeding at so slow a pace, that the shock caused by being brought to a sudden stand still was scarcely felt by the passengers. It caused a delay, however, of up wards of an hour, when the train again proceeded on its way—reaching Lancaster (70 miles) in about three hours of actual travelling,—the directors having stopped at several places to inspect the works. At Lancaster a board meeting was held—the directors resident in Liverpool, and Messrs. Locke and Errington, the engineers, being present, and various arrangements were made for the public opening of the line, should Captain Coddington, the Government inspector, give the requisite certificate. In the evening, the directors, en gineers, and friends dined together at the King's Arms Inn, and next morning were joined at breakfast by Capt. Coddington, who had justarrived from London. A little after eight o'clock, they started with a train of four carriages on the return to Carlisle. The day was excessively cold, with rain, sleet, snow, and frost by turns. At times, the rails presented the appear ance of long lines of ice, and were extremely slippery. The difficulty on such a day was the ascent of the great incline on Shap Fells—one of the severest gradients on any railway in England, and the whole party watched this with no little interest; and it must have been highly satisfactory to both en gineers and directors when Captain Coddington, who stood upon the engine and timed its progress, announced that the ascent had been made, notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the rails, at the rate of twenty miles an hour—although the engine was an old one and not of the most powerful class. All the heavy works—the bridges, viaducts, cuttings, and embankments—were minutely inspected by Captain Coddington, who expressed himself, at the end of the journey, as highly pleased with the whole of the works— declaring that the public might travel upon the line with the most perfect safety; and immediately after wards gave the directors a certificate to that effect. We may mention here, that the line is double through out, with the exception of about two miles, near Low - ther. TJ.is portion will be made double in a month or less. The line is remarkably easy nearly throughout— the exception being a short distance where it has been recently ballasted; and it passes through a country which can scarcely be surpassed for picturesque beauty and wildness of scenery. It was our intention to have given a full description of the litieln this day's journal; but as the public opening is definitely fixed for Tuesday next, we think it better to defer our account until next week, when we can em body it with the proceedings of that day. It is our in tention to illustrate the account by various engravings, which will give our readers a faint notion at least of the various objects of interest which the line presents. As few events have ever occurred more interesting to Carlisle and the county at large, than the opening out of this most important railway, we trust the day will be kept as a general holiday—to mark the importance which is attached to it. A correspondent suggests that a public ball should be given on the occasion. The idea is a good one, and we hope to see it followed up. We believe Mr. Mould would gladly allow the splendid fittings in the Coffee House Assembly-room to remain for this purpose after the contractors' dinner. The arrangements of the day are these a train will start from Lancaster for Carlisle, at eleven o'clock in the morning; and as time will be given to inspect the various wonders of the line, it will not probably reach here before three in the afternoon. At twelve o'clock a train will start from Carlisle for Penrith, where it will remain (probably about an hour) until the arrival at that place of the Lancaster train—whrai all will proceed together to Carlisle. At five o'clock the directors will give a splendid dinner to a large party of invited guests at the Athenaeum ; and on Wednesday there will be return trains for the guests from Kendal, Lancaster, &c. On Thursc?.ay the line will be opened for trcflic—two trains a-day Yunning each way. On Wednesday Messrs. John Stephenson and Co., the spirited contractors, who have so ably executed the work, give a dinner to a large party of friends at the Coffee House. fur which the most extensive preparations are being made.— Carlisle Journal.

TIIE DURATION OF MARRIED LIFE.—The tables of the mean joint lifetime of males and females show, that in this country husbands and wives married at the age of 26 lire, on an average, 27 years together, the widows living rather morn than 10 years (10.4) after their hus bands' deaths, and the widowers nearly 9 years (9.3) after their wives' deaths. Where the husband is 40, and the wife 30, the mean term of married life is 21 years, the widows living 13 years after their husbands, and the widowers 5 years after the deaths of their wives. The tables furnish ready answers to a great number of ques tions of this kind, and others in which two lives are con cerned.—Registrar General's Report.
