OPENING OP THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBERS• constitution has granted to the representatives of the country ; but if Prussia is to maintain her independence and the rank to which she is entitled among European States, her Government must be firm and strong, and a good understanding with the representatives can only be secured by the maintenance of the organisation of the army, which guarantees its military efficiency, and conse quently the security of the country. " All my efforts and all my life are devoted to the happi ness and the honour of Prussia. By pursuing the same object I have no doubt you will find the way leading to a complete agreement with my Government, and your labours will thus conduce to the welfare of the country." -~-. SPEECH FROM THE THRONE. BERLIN, Saturday. The following is the full text of the speech of the King of Prussia, delivered at the opening of the Chambers this morning : " Illustrious, noble, and dear Lords and Gentlemen of the two Chambe'rs ! "A year fertile in events has passed away. In concert with his Majesty the Emperor of Austria we have succeeded in acquitting ourselves of, a debt of honour which had been frequently recalled to our recollection, and with regard to which sentiments traditional in the memory of the entire country had been called forth. An honourable peace has been won by the brilliant valour of our united armies. " Encouraged by the satisfaction with which our people casts a retrospective glance upon this success worthy of Prusga, we turn our hearts with humility towards God, whose blessing has enabled me to give thanks, in the name of the country, to my army for its exploits, which equal those of its most glorious military annals. After 50 years of peace, broken only by honourable but short campaigns, the education and discipline of my army, the utility of its organisation and of its armament, have been brilliantly tested by the war of last year, which the inclemency of the season and the valiant resistance of the enemy will render for ever memorable. Owing to the existing organisation of the army the war was enabled to be carried on without our being compelled, by calling out the Landwehr, to in flict injury upon the relations of labour and of family among the people. After such experience it is more than ever my duty as a Sovereign to maintain the present arrangements, and to develop them upon the existing basis, so as to impart to them greater perfection. I may expect that both Houses of Parliament will afford me their constitutional assistance in accomplishing this duty. " The development of the navy also creates special obligations. By the part it has taken in the war the navy has acquired just rights to my gratitude, and has proved its high importance to the country. If Prussia desires to fulfil the high mission imposed upon her by her geographi cal situation and her political position it is requisite for her to give her navy the fitting development, and not to refrain from making considerable sacrifices for this purpose. " Acting upon this conviction, my Government will lay before you a bill for the augmentation of the fleet. "The duty of provided for those soldiers whose health has been impaired in the field, and for the families of those who have fallen, will find legitimate expressions in the presentation of a bill for the pensions of invalids, which I hope will meet with a favourable reception at your hands. " I have been enabled to put an end to the concentration of troops upon the Polish frontier after the suppression of the insurrection in the adjoining country, The moderate but firm attitude of my Government has sheltered Prussia from the encroachments of the insurrection, while the com petent tribunals have sentenced persons guilty of isolated participation in tendencies aiming at the separation of a portion of the monarchy. "The prosperous state of our finances hag enabled us to carry on the war against Denmark without being compelled to have recourse to a loan. This result must arouse great satisfaction. It has been obtained by economical and far sighted administration, and above all by the considerable surplus of the public revenue during the two last years. "After striking the balance of last year my Government will lay before you a complete report upon the subject of the costs occasioned by the war, and the sources from which they have been met. • "The budget of the current year will be laid before you immediately. It concludes the increase of revenue expected to arise from the new land and industrial tax. While confining itself to the tried limits of a prudent estimate, my Government has also been able to place the other; branches of revenue at an augmented amount. It has thus been enabled, 'not only to re-establish equili brium between the revenue and the expenditure in this budget, but also to allot considerable sums to meet the new requirements in all branches of the administration. Besides the general accounts respecting the budgets 1859, 1860, and 1861, which will be again laid before you, you will also re ceive the accounts for 1862, in order that the Government may be released from the same. " The labours for the ulterior regulation of the land tax have been completed within the prescribed period, and in a satisfactory manner. I am happy to acknowledge that this result is solely due to the zeal and efforts which have been made in all quarters to arrive at a solution of this difficult andlaborious question. The preparatory labours of the tax upon buildings are also very greatly advanced, and only now require definitive approval. " My Government does not cease its efforts that the same progress could be realised in the different branches of pro duction, and that care should be taken to extend and im prove the methods of communication. The bill for a gene ral regulation of roads will again form an important item of your deliberations. Several bills will also be laid before you for the extension and completion of the railway system. "My Government has had the preparatory technical works executed for the construction of a canal between the North Sea and the Baltic across Holstein and Schleswig, which should be constantly navigable for merchantmen and vessels of war of all dimensions. In view of the importance of this great undertaking to the interest of commerce and of Prussian shipping, my Government will endeavour to guarantee its execution by a participation of the state in the expenses it will occasion. More detailed communica tions will be made to you upon this subject at the close of the preliminary deliberations. " The working of mines being freed from harassing restrictions, relieved from taxation, and developed by increase of the markets, acquires a more and more satisfac tory position. You will have to exanline the bill of a new general mining code, intended to regulate the legal position of this branch of industry. " The ordinance dictated by the interests of our com merce and our maritime ports 'pending the duration of the war, relative to extraordinary duties upon the flag, will be laid before yciu in virtue of an ulterior authorisa tion. My Government has succeeded in removing the obstacles which threatened to compromise the existence of the German Zollverein at the expiration of the period fixed by treaty. The treaties concluded with the Govern ment of his Majesty the Emperor of the French have obtained the adhesion of all the Governments consti tuting the Zollverein, and the customs treaties have been renewed with some modifications justified by experience. These treaties, together with the arrangements upon the subject of the wishes expressed by one of our allies in the Zollverein, will be laid before you for the purpose of obtaining your assent. The negotiations which, in conse quence of these treaties, and in accord with the Govern ments of Bavaria and Saxony, have been entered into with Austria, with the view of facilitating and reciprocally de veloping business, permit the hope of a speedy result. The work commenced by these treaties with France in August, 1862, and the execution of which has been pursued since that time with equal perseverance by my Government and that of his Majesty the Emperor of the ;French, is thus approaching a conclusion which will open a vast field to commerce, and, by the common development of prosperity, will afford a fresh guarantee for the amicable relations of neighbouring nations. " I cannot allude to the exploits of my army without expressing - my ; satisfaction with, and cordial acknow ledgment of, the deeds of the Austrian troops. As the soldiers of the two armies have shared their laurels toge ther in the fraternity of arms, so the two Courts have con tinued united in the complications that have ensued by a close alliance, which has found a solid and durable basis in my German sentiments, and in those of my august ally. In these sentiments, and in fidelity to treaties, is to be found the guarantee for the preservation of the tie which connects the German States and secures them the protec tion of the Confederation. tg The peace with Denmark has given back to Germany her disputed northern frontier, and has restored to the in habitants of those countries the possibility of taking an ac tive part in our national life. The task of my policy will b‘e to secure this conquest by institutions which shall fad- Hole the honourable duty of protecting this frontier, and all° s w the duchies to employ and turn to account their re sourc vs in the interest of developing the land and sea forces of the common country. maintenance of these legitimate claims I shall seek in their fulfilment to combine both the well-founded dem:inds of the country and of the Sovereigns. In order, ther4ore, to gain a secure basis to judge of the legal ques tiono in dispute I have requested the law officers of the Crown, conformably with their duties, to give a legal opinion upon the subject. My convictions on the legal side of the ques tion, and my duty towards my country, will assist me in nay endeavours to come to an understanding with my illus trious ally, with whom I at present share the occupation and the care of a regular administration of the Duchies. "It affords me lively satisfaction that the complications of the war have been confined within a narrow compass, and that the dangers which might have threatened Euro pean peace have been averted. The re-establishment of diplo gnatic relations with Denmark has commenced, and I enter 'sin firm confidence in the formation of those more friendly and more profitable relations which so thoroughly condu' t,e to the natural interests of the two countries.. "Our relations with all the other Powers have not been i n a ny way troubled, and continue to present the most agreeable and most satisfactory character. "Gentremien,—lt is my earnest wish that the difference which has an'sen within the last few years between my Government and the Chamber of Deputies should be brought to rem ) nciliation. The memorable events of 1864 will have assist ed to enlighten the public mind upon the necess ity o f iml iroving a military organisation which has pass " ledaratlarrozhvit.thiebttiliestoofrosa psi:ctcceasusdiul uphold the rights the THE NEW NOVEL.

In anticipation of its official publication in full, the fol lowing summary of the Grand Vizier's voluminous report on the budget will be read with interost. We have also before us the report of the Minister of Finance on the same subject, but this is little more than a paraphrase of the " remarks" appended to the figures of the statement as pub lished by us a fortnight ago. The report begins by stating that although the budgets for the different departments were delivered in March last, yet, owing to the delays in the collection of revenue, the statement of ways and means was necessarily kept back till the month of September. The budget had been fully discussed by the general council, com posed as usual of the Ministers, the chiefs of ad ministration, and the members of the grand council of justice. It appeared from the report of the Finance Minis ter that owing to improvements introduced in all the branches of the administration, both the operations and ac counts of the Treasury were perfectly regular and in good order. This result, however, could only be obtained by the extinction of the floating debt and the abolition of paper money. The natural consequence has been the increase of the consolidated debt, bringing with it an increase on the sums necessary for the payment of interest and the sinking fund ; notwithstanding this, the increase had been met by a corresponding increase of revenue, so that in spite of ex traordinary expenses amounting to 166,000 purses, the budget shows a surplus of 46,500 purses. In consequence of the nature of these increased expenses, punctual payment was absolutely necessary, and it was therefore equally necessary to secure punctuality in the payment of the receipts. Now, agriculture being the principal source of the taxation, the contributors could only acquit their obligations by first selling and exporting the products of the soil, the consequence being an inevitable delay in the collection of the revenue, so that the receipts actually realised during the year were not sufficient to balance the expenditure; thns, not withstanding that almost the entire of the estimated arrear may be considered as good, embarrassments and difficulties had arisen to the Treasury, and rendered necessary its resorting to extraor dinary measures, and meeting the temporary deficit by tem porary loans. The Finance Minister having made a recom mendation to that effect, it had been taken into serious con sideration by the council. It was evident the receipts of the state could not meet its expenses unless those receipts were punctually paid ; owing to the absence of such punctuality, occasional deficits occurred in the budgets of all govern ments, and although the deficit in the Imperial budget was rather longer than in some others, the causes were still strictly temporary. The council had examined with great care the various sources of revenue.. One part of the re venue consisted of fixed imposts distributed among the sand jaks, the kazas, and the villages. These imposts being in proportion to the population, ran no risk of diminution. There did not seem any probability of exaggeration in the estimate of the excise ; still it was possible that . there might be defalcations; these were taken into account and valued at 5 per cent. on some revenues, and 3 per cent. on others. It • was therefore possible to make an approximate estimate of the temporary deficit, which was fixed at from 30,000 to 40,000 purses. The council had then taken into consideration the actual receipts realisable in the year. It appreared from strict examination that out of 3,245,000 purses, the total figure of receipts in the budget from 2,500,000 to 2,550,000 purses constituted the sum likely to be actually received during 12 months, and a sum of from 700,000 to 750,000 purses would be in arrear. If the receipt of that sum could be calculated upon during the six months succeeding the financial year, it would have met the ex penses, but it could not be thus calculated upon ; several years would probably expire before it could be realised. In calculating the resources of each year for the future, it would be necessary to take the sums received during each year on account of the revenues of that year, and to add thereto the sums received for arrears ; the total so arrived at would form the basis of the calculation of each year's receipts. The collection of revenue may be placed in three categories—the first, taxes from sources wholly realisable during the year; the second from sources partly realisable during the year ; and thirdly, the arrears re covered from past years. Taking for a basis the receipts of the year 1280, these three categories would be represented as follows :—First category, 1,060,000 purses ; second, 1,485,000; third, 395,000 purses—making a total of 2,931,000 purses. Measures had been taken to facilitate the collection of revenue for the future, but upon the foregoing basis and comparing the expenses of the same year, which amounted to 3,205,008 purses, it would be seen that above 270,000 purses of expenss were not met by corresponding receipts. Now the revenues of 1280, if required in full, would amount to 3,245,000 purses; there would be a difference between the revenue and the receipts of about .300,000 purses due to the Treasury. Even supposing the whole of this, sum to be recovered, it would take at least three years to collect it, while the obligations of the state must be met at once. Hence had arisen those financial difficulties 'which have now been happily surmounted. Taking all this into con sideration, it had become necessary, in view of a balance of receipts and expenditure of 1280 to reduce the ex penditure so as to meet the deficit of the year, namely, 270,000 purses. So many reductions had already been made in every department, that it was difficult to make further reductions without injury to the public service ; nevertheless, confiding in the duration of a general peace and of the prosperity of the empire, the council had dis cussed several proposals for temporary reductions. The expenses of the Circassian emigration would be reduced one-half ; further, the populations offering to give up to the Treasury one quarter of the advances guaranteed on the Verghi, that sum would only form a trifling item in next year's budget. The second part of the budget, relating to temporary expenses, would admit of considerable reduction, so that a total reduction of 250,000 purses would be arrived at, out of which 212,000 purses might be considered as already saved, and the rest would be saved at the begin ning of next year. As to the year 1281, the amount of the arrears to be collected would be taken as the basis of the calculation, so that by means of the temporary reductions and the adjournment of certain expenses, the balance for the year would be duly regulated. Thus by reducing the 3,205,000 purses, the expenditure of the year 1280, by the 225,000 purses of reductions, the expenses would be reduced to 2,980,000 purses, which compared with the estimated re ceipts of 2,991,000 purses leaves a surplus of expenditure of about 49,000 purses. Still, by further reductions :and by a more active collection of arrears it is expected that an equi librium would be attained. At all events, the receipts of 1281 would show an increase over the preceding year of 262,000 purses. In future years, when the arrears were fully brought into the account, and taking into account the presumed increase of revenue, a profit would arise which would be set apart under the title of funds of amelioration ; part of such funds would be devoted to the regulation of adjourned expenses, and the rest to the development of the public wealth and of the means of communication and of general instruction. In this way an equilibrium will be arrived at between the general receipts and expenditure ; nevertheless there might still be unfavourable balances in the separate departments for which it would be necessary to provide. The floating debt had been reduced from 800,000 to 200,000 purses ; of the 600,000 so paid off 400,000 had been paid off by the funds allotted for that purpose; the remaining 200,000 had been met by the Treasury out of the general revenue, and a further sum of 250,000 would have to be so met hereafter. The Treasury therefore would require 500,000 purses to regulate this account. These considerations had been daily discussed by the council and unanimously adopted. The report concludes with some suggestions for the regu lation of the floating debt, the sinking fund, and the pay ment of the On-scheliles. The Sheffield Independent of Wednesday says the police at Rotherham are now investigating a case in which a servant girl is charged with making an extraordinary attempt to poison her mistress. The latter had reprimanded her, and it is alleged that the girl afterwards put strychnine into some cream which her mistress was going to use, but fortunately did not. Let them take this report of the Union Post master-General and compare it with that of the rebel Post master-General, an abstract of which we lately published. Whilo the Union official announces a receipt of 12,438,253 dols. for the past year, the rebel official acknowledges that his department has not yielded 3,000,000 dols. during the same time.—New York paper.

STAMPED -5d SEVERE GAGE, LOSS OF LIFE AND SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. The violent gale of wind and rain which raged in the metroplis, and to a greater or less extent all over England, on Thursday and Friday last, at tained to a perfect hurricane on Saturday, such as has not been equalled for many years. On Friday night the wind, accompanied by heavy showers of rains and falls of sleet, 'which had previously blown from west, 'changed to south-west, and thus it con tinued all night. In the docks, and in various parts of the Pool, the captains of the large merchant and other vessels, profiting by the experience of the force of the gale on Thursday and Friday, took extra precautions to ensure the safety of their vessels by stronger moor ings, and for additional safety many of the smaller craft were tied securely to each other. Even under these circumstances some serious accidents occurred. About eleven o'clock in the morning a barque, belonging to Goole, but the name of which could not be ascertained, broke from her moor ings above bridge, and in the excitement of the moment, and the wind at the time blow ing a hurricane, became totally unma nageable. She drifted with the force of the current very swiftly on to about fifty barges which lie moored at the Surrey side of the' river, and the collision was so'violent that two men employed on board fell over. Every exertion which could pos sibly be taken at the time was made to save The poor fellows, but they disappeared immediately. A re port was, however, current on Saturday night that one of the men had saved himself by clinging to some chains. Below bridge several accidents oc curred by vessels slipping from their moorings and coming into collision with each other. The river during the whole of Saturday overflooded the banks, and at Lambeth, Vauxhall, and Battersea many of the streets leading to the river were flooded and rendered impassable. The works of the Thames Embankment were also seriously interrupted by the force of the hurricane and the great height of the water, and at that portion of the works between the Temple and Somerset-house, where the embank ment is already formed, the water had completely reached the top of the groundwork. If the water had risen a few feet ',higher serious damage to the works must have resulted. The top of the temporary stagings on which all the machinery, engines, &c., for carrying out the works are placed, was also reached by the water, and the greatest precautions had to be taken to avoid accident, the force of the wind being frequently so strong as to render it a matter of no small difficulty to retain a firm footing. In addition to the serious accident by the falling of a chimney stack (reported below), there were also two others—one at Wandsworth, by the fall ing of a wall, and another at Kingsland, where a house in course of construction was blown down. In the latter case a man named Treems was knocked down, and sustained a fearful scalp wound. In various parts of the metropolis severe damage was occasioned by the falling of chimney stacks and pots, and the parks were also damaged, Yesterday the gale had slightly moderated, but a strong wind was still blowing. About four o'clock on Saturday morning, when the gale was blowing with great violence, a loud noise was heard in Plumtree-court, Holborn. The court is a densely populated thoroughfare, leading from Shoe-lane into Holborn, and the house where the accident occurred, numbered 23, was rented by a Mr. Watson, who let it out in tenements. The top of the house was occupied by three married couples ; on the second floor were a man and a mar ried couple ; on the first floor a father with his two children and another man were sleeping ; and on the ground floor slept Mr. Watson and his wife. At the time mentioned the wind blew with such power as to force down one of the shafts on the premises of Messrs. Pontifex and Wood, and in its descent it completely carried away another of less dimensions. The direction of the fall was towards Plumtree-court, where the ponderous pile of brickwork fell on the house already named, forcing the roof completely in, and causing each floor to fall in succession. A large portion of the back wall of the Angel-yard, Farring don-street, was knocked down, and the iron roof of the foundry of Messrs. Pontifex was torn to pieces. From the quantity of dust flying about it was im possible at first to see what had occasioned so much alarm ; and but a few minutes elapsed before seve ral fire-engines and an escape were on the spot, as it was conjectured that a fire had broke out. The extent of the calamity was then discovered, and the cries of the poor creatures buried in the ruins were most distressing No time was lost in endeavouring to extricate them—a task performed chiefly by the police. In a little more than an hour all the unfor tunate inmates were found. One man and his wife named Hagar,were at once removed to the hospital, having received severe scalp wounds and fractures ; and at hall-past 12 a message was forwarded to tell those friends who wished to seethem to do so at once, as their case was hopeless. Another man named J. Martin Was also sentto the same hospital severely in jured ; and the wife of the landlord (Mr. Watson) was likewise taken there in consequence of internal injuries. She and her husband were sleeping at the back of the house, and both were precipitated down the kitchen stairs and were taken out of the area in front. An elderly woman named Catherine Fitz gerald fell from the attic in. her bed to the basement, and, as in the case of the other lodgers, was much shaken and hurt. It is needless to say that the loss to the poor creatures is severe, all their furniture being broken to pieces. In some instances clothing had to be procured for them from the workhouse• Our Portsmouth correspondent writes : " A strong gale sprung up from the south-west on Fri day, and continued with but slight intermission until late on Saturday night. The only serious casualty we have heard of at present, however, is the following :—The schooner Ocean, of Plymouth, name of the master not known here, was coming up channel, on Saturday night, bound for Sunder land, and laden with clay. By some miscaleulation not explained she got too closely in shore, and struck the ground on a dangerous shoal near the entrance of Langstone harbour, about four miles from Ports mouth. The sea broke over the ship with great violence, and the crew took to the rigging for safety, but one man and one boy were washed overboard and drowned. The master and two men were after wards rescued by the marine artillery boat at Fort Cumberland, manned by fishermen. The vessel now lies with her hull just under water, and masts standing, but there seems to be no hope of her re covery." HOLYHEAD, Saturday Night. About 9.30 a.m. a vessel was perceived in a clan- gerous position between the Clipera Rocks and Penrhyn Point. The wind wa s fearfully high, and the sea very rough, and had the ship parted eck. her cable she must inevitably have become a wr The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was therefore at once sent out to her. As it was evident that the only method of saving the vessel was to run her to Penraanarch, that she might be in a sheltered position and on the on o san oad, four of the werethpeultifebbatlredfththere a v n e ci ss r el an a crew of the lifeb oat h er there safely .

The safety of th e crew and ship is unquestionably due to the gallant crew of the lifeboat, who, in their noble attempt lost one of their own men, who has left a widow and several children to mourn his loss. This lifeboat work is often a fearful struggle, and is not unlike that of the battle-field, where ' casualties must necessarily occur .Those ose who direct the lifeboat operation and the public, therefore must be prepared and ready to meet every emer gency. In the case of the Holyhead self-righting lifeboat, one poor man during a hurricane perished ;. but in that of the Liverpool lifeboat, which is not the property of the National. Lifeboat Institution, and which is not self-righting—no less than seven men unhappily were drowned, probably because the boat did' not possess that valuable property, and because the crew omitted to put on their lifebelt, which the Liverpool Dock Trustees had provided for them. . Loss of Her Majesty's Ship Bombay. The following despatch, addressed to Lord Cla rence Paget, was received at the Admiralty last night : LISBON, Jan. 15, 2 30 p.m. " Admiral Elliot reports the total loss of her Majesty's ship Bombay 15y Are, at Montevideo, on the 14th of December. Mr. Smallhorn, assistant surgeon, of the officers, alone is missing ; but 93 of the crew are supposed to be lost. Lieut. Starling, bearer of the despatches, proceeds by French packet to. Bordeaux to-day," ~~~ Fatal Shipwreck. wn hrt LIVERPOOL,heavy y a galescheavy ns haveagt u r da l J e ba n layo . hha ett For several days ce nd in ro cr m eas th ed e n in o p r f as t o was exceedingly rough. At noon on iite:Fini‘disefrsey Saturday the new blockade-runner Lelia, which only made her trial trip a few days ago, left the Mersey on a voyage to Nassau. She was, we be lieve, commanded by Captain Skinner, and had a crew of about 30 hands. She was built by Messrs. Miller, of Liverpool, and her engines were by Messrs. Fawcett, Preston, and Co. She was of 1,100 tons burden, of very light draught, and was probably the finest blockade-runner that has left this port. She appears, from the slender particulars we have been enabled to glean, to have proceeded safely until she arrived in the vicinity of the North-West Lightship, when a heavy sea struck her, and, pro bably owing to her necessarily slight build, she sprung a leak and almost immediately foundered. Twelve of her men succeeded in getting on board the lightship—who they are is not yet known—and the other 18 were drowned. The news of this melancholy disaster was brought to Liverpool shortly before noon by Captain Perry, of the steam-tug Blazer, which, while passing the lightship early in the morning, was hailed by the master to take the 12 men off the lightship, but wak unable to do so in consequence of the heavy sea. The captain, however, made all haste to the Prince's landing-stage, and communicated with Captain Thorpe. The No. 1 Liverpool lifeboat was at once launched, manned by 11 men, and proceeded in tow of the Blazer for the purpose of bringing off the men of the lost ship. All went right until they were halfway between the Fairway buoy and the light ship, when a heavy sea struck the lifeboat and cap- sized it. The 11 men were instantly thrown_into the water. The tug reversed engines, threw` out ropes to the drowning men, and succeeded in rescuing four of them, including the master. Two of the poor fellows seized ropes and were drawn to the side of the tug, but were so exhausted that they let go their hold and sank ; the others were swept away and also lost. Those saved are Thomas Hud son, master ; G. Thomas, H. Hamill, and Henry Collins, of the crew. Those lost are R. Clark, B. Murphy, H. Green, John Hanson, James and Peter Martindale, and Miller. After this dreadful accident the tug proceeded to the lightship, but the sea was still so rough that she could not approach with safety, and, after lying by her for over an hour, she gave up the attempt, and returned to the Prince's stage with her melan choly tale. During the morning three of the Lelia's boats were picked up at the mouth of the river by tugs, and deposited at the wreck-house, Canning- Pier-head. We :understand that one of the sons of the builder was on board the Lelia, having gone out to see how she worked, and that there was also a Confederate officer as passenger on board. The only other vessel which left the Mersey on Saturday was the royal mail steamer Cuba, for New York. The men of the lifeboat did not, as prescribed by the regulations, wear lifebelts. In 1847, on the 6th of December, at 10 a.m., the lowest point of the barometer (uncorrected) at the Liverpool Observatory, was 28-151 in., the lowest point on record. The lowest point recorded in the Underwriters'-rooms, on the 14th of January, 1865, at 9.20 a.m., was 28-372 in. From this point it rapidly rose to 28-470 in. by 11.13 a.m. WILLS AND BEQUESTS (From the Illustrated London News.)
