Boys thus admitted are received free, boarded, clothed, educated, and taught till they are 11 years of age. With the view t o secure the election of the most deserving cases, the Committe have from the first discouraged canvas sing, and they do not print any addresses of the subscribers. The voting papers contain a description of each ease,. as care fully investigated by the Committee, anti with this informa tion the subscribers are able to judge for themselves as to those most eligible for free admission. This Home was opened in April, 1884. It was designed to take in the little ones whose charact , r and circumstances disqualify then for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender age precludes their admission to the Refuges. Such are these who, from neglect, are already on the road to ruin. Such are those who have been deserted by theienatural protectors and left to beecome idle wanderers. Such are those whose parents may have at one time or other received parish relief, and who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose parents are breakers of the law, or are in prison, and who train their children in the same path. Such are those whose evil associations have already had their painful effect, and must lead them to a life of crime and misery. There are now 50 little inmates from about four years of age to 10. There is room for nearly 10:), and the Committee would joyfully see the Home filled at once ; they only wait for the necessary subscriptions. The Committee feel constrained to plead for those who cannot thus plead for themselves ; and, referring to the cir cumstances of some who have been already admitted, they ask—is it right to make a widow and her family paupers for lite because ono of them (the naughty boy of the family) runs wild in the streets and is beyond her control? Is it kind to tell her, because she has so large a family, that you will not ti-lp her to put one of them into a Home, but that they must ail get into "the house ?" Is it doing the best we can for the little destitute orphan to send him to the workhouse. Is it doing to others as we would they should do unto ns that when these little ones have unnatural parents who turn them into the streets, or force them by ill-treatment to "ins away," none of us shou d be found to care for them, to speak a kindly word to them, to befriend them, to house and clothe thrm ? Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, passing by on the other side, or else exclaiming "Am I my brother's keeper ?" The necessity for an Institution for these little ones is evi dent from the police statistics, which show that in London alone, in one year, no fewer than 311 boys under 10 years of ace, have been apprehended for various offences, 79 of whom were convicted and punished, while the bulk, 232 were dis charged by the magistrates with a rebuke, as being too young to punish. though not too young to learn the beginnings of crime. On the other hand, there are numbers who, but for the timely help afforded by such an Institution, must otherwise become paupers, and losing all ideas of self-reli ance and self-help, be permanent burdens to the State. he Home for Little Boys has, therefore, been established to rescue the little ones, to save them from the prison on the one hand, and the workhouse on the other, and to endeavour to make them useful members of society, The daily routine of the Institution presents all the fea tures of a home, a school, and a workshop. The little ones are cared for as children ; they have their regular meals, their suitable clothing, their hours of play and amusement, and their singing class. They are treated as scholars ; every morning is devoted to seho,l work—reading, and writing, and cipherin:, and Scriptural instruction, with occasional lessons in otjects and other subjects. But they are also trained to work. As they must all, and that at a very early period in lite, earn their living by the sweat of their brow, they are here at once taught habits of industry. So the after noons are occupied with various industrial occupations-- making brown paper bags for bankers, and white paper bags for tradesmen, and door mats and servants' kneelers for any who will buy them; picking the coil for the mats, mending the c'othes, &o. Some assist the master in the garden, wigging, planting, watering, weeding, and so forth. By degrees they are being made useful in the house, scrubbing and sweeping. while the elder ones clean all the boots, knives, &c. In this way it is sought to fit them for an active working Me. 2d. By payment of ss. a week, made quarterly in advance. All children must be under 10 years of age at the time of admission. Those received on payment are admitted at any time as soon as approved by the Committee, Elections of children to be ad. - aitted free will take place as frequently ss the increase in the annual subscriptions will admit, till the Home is full ; they will then be held periodi cally Forms of application for the admission of children may be had at the Home, and of the Honorary secretary, * 4 131. • 41111. 1 1 r • \•fak, it _ _ = .;-•; 0 7 , - -' '- -401111111110k-- , If: ~,411111(7 1, n'T tor - • 4 \c, • d• • rim 4 DROIT. 1'78M.:4:5;4":7 THE HUNGARIAN DIET. /C- 7 PRICE 4d., STAMPED sd. belonging to Messrs.

At the sitting of the Lower House to-day Herr Carl:von Szentivanyi, the newly-elected President, delivered the following address upon assuming the chair : " Most Honourable Deputies,—The country in whose name we are here assembled, and the nation which has chosen us as its representatives, do not expect from us long speeches, but salutary acts. In taking up this honourable position, to which I have been called in the confidence of the House, and while welcoming the representatives of the people from the bottom of my heart, and thanking them most sincerely for the choice that has fallen upon me, I shall, therefore, offer as few and as brief re marks as may be possible. I will not dwell upon the sorrows and sufferings of past times, but rather turn to the future, which smiles upon us with joy ful hope. The, present summer was the first occa sion for many years when new confidence began to arise in the hearts of the nation, and the last clouds began to disappear from the horizon of our country. The long-expected Diet was, opened, and his Ma jesty spoke to us with that sincere confidence which invariably , arouses sincerity and confidence in re turn. The Royal - Speech set aside for ever that dangerous doctrine which occasioned so much bitter ness, and rendered all sincere apprdach impossible —the detestable doctrine of forfeiture of right—and chose as point of departure the mutally-admitted basis of the Pragmatic Sanction. His Majesty fur ther recognised in the Speech from the Throne the political and autonomous independence of Hun gary and the adjacent countries guaranteed by the Pragmatic Sanction, and declared that the Crown would keep intact all clauses of that compact refer ring to the integrity of the Hungarian Crown. Upon this clear and firm legal foundation we must and will settle the pending political questions, and although we cannot conceal from ourselves that we shall have to encounter serious obstacles, we may yet hope that pure patriotism, mutual confidence, and invincible goodwill may set them aside, and secure a happier future to the general satisfaction both of the country and the ruler of Hungary. I will not touch now upon those important matters which must precede that sublimest of all our tasks, the coronation of his Majesty, so ardently desired by the people, and imperatively demanded by our constitution : nor will I allude ,to those numerous laws the introduction of which at the earliest pos sible moment is so urgently required by our moral and material interests. All these will come before you in due order and at the appointed time. I will only now implore the blessings of Providence upon the Diet, and fulfil thefirst of my presidential duties by declaring this house constituted according to the spirit of our laws." The President's speech wasfollowed by an address from Count Julius Andrassy, the senior Vice Presi dent. He said—" Honourable House : Accept, first of all, my deeply felt thanks for the confidence with which you have honoured me. Yet let me also say that while I assume this post, which I have neither wished for nor deserved, I consider your choice a command I am bound to obey, whatever the diffi culty I experience in so doing. We may safely leave the judgment of the Diet of 1861 to the ap preciation of posterity, which is not only guided by results, but also takes into consideration the difficul ties of a given position, which not only inscribes success, but also manly desire and perseverance in its pursuit upon the page of history. I will not attempt to connect our position now with that of the Diet of 1861, but merely cast a glance upon our past and present situation. The Diet of 1861 did all that it then could in face of the system of forfeiture of right at that time existing when it pointed to that basis upon which confi dence between prince and people is most securely placed—the basis of continuity of right. But that Diet was unable to create anything new ; it needed all its strength for defence— for preservation. That really Royal initiative alone, which will be reckoned among the happiest occurrences in the his tory of our country, has released us from this pain ful position. While the manifesto of September 20, and, subsequently, the Royal Speech from the Throne, recognise the Pragmatic Sanction as our basis of right, propositions respecting affairs consi dered common are expected from us, to the final validity of which the free assent of all peoples of the realm is essential. (' Eljen P) This, gentlemen, is an extraordinarily great and difficult task, rendered still more arduous because, while the initiative is intrusted to us, we do not know who, in addition to our common ruler, will be called to solve this problem. (' Very true !') But we must not de spond, for it is impossible that the rights upon which the realm has been formed, which, although in conformity with circumstances often suspended, have yet, nevertheless, consistently continued to exist, with which the realm has already subsisted for centuries—it is impossible that these rights should be opposed to the conditions of life of the collective empire. We must not despond, for this is not the first time that it has been the will of Providence that Hungary should take part in the decision of European questions. Confiding in the good fortune of the nation, we may hope that Hun gary, which has overcome so many dangers :and always issued from them stronger than before, will not belie her reputation upon this occasion as well. (Cheers.) Still, in order that we may attain suc cess as securely as possible, I believe one of our tasks will be—thereby in a manner completing the work of the Diet of 1861—in demonstrating that the right of this nation is also the interest of the realm. Therefore I think it desirable to convince the peoples of the other half of the Empire that when the common ruler restores the integrity of Hungary he strengthens the whole realm, for the crown of St. Stephen unites the interests of many races through the rights and liberties of a Constitu tion a thousand years old, and places their centre of gravity in the middle of the realm. We must con vince them that while the common ruler recognises the principle of continuity of right upon the basis of the Pragmatic Sanction, he acts as much in their interest as in ours ;fora continuityof n only righyt be e annot be begun from a given pre served in constant action. Before, therefore, it would have been possible to put this principle in practice in both halves of the monarchy, both halves must have returned to them what was their exclu sive property. It is necessary and desirable that those who are called to guide the destinies of the hereditary states —taking into considera tion the nature of the elements of Austria— should perceive that the realm does not belong to those states which increase in strength and dura bility by centralising legislation, but that she is an exceptional state, which can only be great and powerful by alliance with the past and with history. Lastly, it is necessary that the other half of the realm should rightly understand its interest and its task. These do not consist in conquering Hungary, but with her help in winning back for the common ruler and the entire realm that position in the Council of the European Powers, to which they are rightfully entitled. (Great applause.) It is only when all summoned by the - Royal word to ultimate co-Dperation in the great work are fully convinced of these truths that we can safely calculate upon the result which is the ardent desire of us all. That desire is to see both halves of the monarchy equally ' free and constitutional in their own w a y."

There was a specially convened meeting of the guardians of the Aylesbury Poor Law Union yes terday to take into consideration a letter from the Poor Law Board, written at the instance of the Board of Trade, requesting the farmers to forward correct returns of the number of cattle on theirland. • The meeting was of considerable importance owing to the fact that it was composed in the main of farmers, graziers, and others directly interested in this question, and that their voice may be construed as being that of the whole agricultural community of this district. Mr. Edward Stone, chairman of the board, presided, and there were present, among others, Mr. G. M. Allender, the eminent pig breeder; Mr. H. Lepper, the Government inspector of the Vale of Aylesbury district ; Mr. H. Gurney, an extensive grazier ; the Rev. Dr. Booth, of Stone ; Messrs. A. Tindal, J. E. Bartlett, W. Crook, E. Terry, Bc.c. ; also Dr. Hooper. . _ . The CHAIRMAN said that although the Privy Council seemed to have an idea that the farmers entertained a good deal of objection to giving in formation which might be of use to the public gene rally, and to the Government specially, yet he did not think there would be any particular objection to comply with the present request, as it appeared desirable that statistics of that sort should be ob tained. For his own part, he feared that the re turns would not be complete enough to enable the Government to form a correct idea. At all events, he thought it worth while to facilitate their en deavours, and suggested that a circular should be drawn up by the clerk and sent to every occupier within the union. Mr. BULL suggested the use of placards, as being less expensive than the postage of circulars. The CHAIRMAN continued—He wished to observe, on the general subject of the cattle plague, that he was one of those who thought that the Government did not take the steps they ought to have done on the outbreak of the disease. Had they acted with energy, decision, and promptitude, they might have prevented much of the mischief which had arisen through cattle being allowed to disseminate the dis ease from London to all parts of the country. He was glad to find that they were beginning to see their error, according to their last Order in Council. It would, however, have been better had they taken the whole responsibility, and made a uniform sys tem applicable to the whole country; for, although an enlargement of the area of the " local authority" would in a great measure induce uniformity in a county, yet the fact was that no further off than Oxfordshire at the present time a very different and loose system was in force, and cattle could be taken to almost any place in the county, which was suffer ing frightfully from the disease. The new order would troduce uniformity in each county. It was possible that the Government fancied that the far mers would withhold the desired information, and they accordingly promised to keep it a secret. (Laughter.) Well, nobody cared much about that, and he would put no value on the promise ; but at any rate he hoped the Board of Guardians would think it worth while to render the information re quired. The Rev. Dr. BOOTH agreed with the chairman as to the reprehensible apathy and shirking of duty —for he could not otherwise call it—displayed by the present Government as to the cattle plague. Instead of taking the responsibility on themselves, though they had had applications from the Royal Agricultural Association, and the approbation and consent of nearly everybody, including their own commissioners, to such a course, they had only moved one step further, substituting a county for the merely local division. Now, those places which were on the confines of two counties remained in the same position as before ; and though Bucks, at the next Quarter Sessions, might enact stringent regulations for the whole county, yet Oxfordshire, or Berks, or Beds might pass those resolutions, which he had seen, but which were worse than use less, for under the pretence of passing regulations to stop the transit of cattle they had encouraged it rather than otherwise,.than to do which it would really have been better to pass no order at all, and leave it to the good feelings of the farmers. It was nothing but an invitation to evade the order. If it was worth while to collect the proposed returns, Go vernment ought to be allowed no excuse for inac tion; but the request for information ought to be met frankly, cordially, and fully throughout the country. He did not think the returns would be of any value; with that, however, the guardians had nothing to do, their duty being merely to render the information. After some further discussion, it was resolved to draw up a circular, to be signed by the chairman on behalf of the meeting, soliciting the property owners of the district embraced in the union to send in the returns as desired.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Poonah, Captain Curling, with the heavy Bombay mails, has arrived. She brings 40 pas sengers and 6 packages specie, value £1,770 ; also a general cargo, consisting of 151 boxes oranges, 22 boxes dates, 4 cases opium, 4 bales cotton, 298 packages sundries, and 1,464 bales raw silk, value £135,000. _ _ The Poonah experienced fine weather throughout the passage. On the 20th inst. she signalled the steamer Delta, and on the 24th, at noon, the steamer Nyanza, steering to the south ; she reported having experienced very bad weather. Her Majesty's ships Victoria, Pelican, Gibraltar, Caledonia, Resistance, Royal Oak, Hydra, Firefly, Psyche, Hibernia, Racer, and Surprise, were at Malta ; and at Alexandria the usual Egyptian squadron, French frigate Perdrix, and troopships Zouave and Sevre. GIBRALTAR, Dec. 22. The Spanish corvette Isabel la Catolica, 14 guns, left Cadiz on the 20th, to reinforce the Spanish squadron in the waters of the Havanna. Gen. Yauch, the commandant of the neighbouring district, paid a visit yesterday to his Excellency the Governor. He crossed over in a Spanish war steamer, and landed at the new mole, where he was received by a guard of honour of the 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers. The ships of war Racoon, Skylark, and Redpole manned yards, and the guns of the garrison fired a salute. The new armour-clad frigate Alabama is only awaiting the screw sloop Consuelo, which is nearly ready, to proceed in concert, to join Admiral Pareja's squadron in the waters of Chili. It is expected these vessels will sail about the 25th. The Gibraltar Chronicle of the 18th says : "The Redpole arrived on Saturday evening from Tangier with his Royal Highness Prince Alfred on his return from his hunting expedition in Barbary. The prince Foceeded to Tangier on Monday last, accompanied by Lieutenant IL Haig, R.E., and Lieutenant Campbell, R.N. The baggage was sent on into the country, and his royal highness and suite were entertained at the legation house for that night. On Tuesday morning early his royal highness and party, including Sir John Drummond Hay, made an early start for Arzylu, which they reached by two o'clock. The same evening they made an excursion, but the hunting was without sport. Next day, unfortunately, was stormy, and heavy rain continued all day ; nevertheless, the royal party was undaunted, but their chase through storms was at tended with indifferent sport, the party only killing two boars among them. At night they rested at the house of the British Consular agent, and the next morning started for Dar-el-Clue--a mountain ridge 14 miles from Tangier —where tents were pitched for their accommodation. His royal highness shot on the road, and made a good bag of various birds. The party slept that night in tents and the next day hunted the boar. The wind was high and pierc ingly cold as is seldom experienced in that region. About a dozen boars were started, but not one had the politeness to come out in the direction of his royal highness, so that he could only obtain a long shot at two that trotted past at a considerable distance. Mr. Green, who was of the party, had better luck, having fired at three boars, two of which he brought down. None of the other Christians had shots, and the Moors, as bad luck would have it, always missed. Although the party were not so successful in finding and killing game as could have been wished, his royal highness showed himself to be a thorough sportsman and a splendid shot at partridges, and appeared to enjoy much the rough wild life of the 'tent and camp' in Northern Africa." The following British vessels have arrived here since the 17th inst. :—The steamer Tiber, 7 days, from Liverpool; brig Martha, 35 days, from Liver pool ; steamer Grecian, 51 days, from Liverpool; R.V.Y.C. schooner Medea, from Cowes ; steamer Samson, 7 days, from Cardiff; R.Y.S. schooner Diadem, 20 days, from Plymouth ; schooner Kate, 10 days, from Cardiff ; brig Squire, 12 days, from Newport; steamer Minerva, 5 days, from Cardiff; and brigantine Diana, 16 days, from Cardiff. Exchanges are unaltered. Her Majesty's ships Racoon and Skylark are in the harbour. SALOON STEAMPACkETS.—The Woolwich and Waterman's Steampacket Companies havo just purchased two splendid and fast going saloon steamboats, fitted up in a most excellent style, with every requisite for the com fort of passengers. They are intended for the London, Gravesend, and Southend traffic for the summer season, and others of the same class will be provided. CHESTER. The following is the number of cases reported to the 25th inst. :—Died, 2,850 ; kill id, 186 ; under treatment, 1,409 ; recovered, 194 ; total, 4,639. Since the 18th inst. fresh cases have appeared in 29 addi tional townships, making a total of 134 different places in which the disease has manifested itself. The number attacked during the past week has been 1,651, or 235 per diem, and those died and killed 1,139, or 162 per diem. DEVON. At the Devon Quarter Sessions Mr. Acland, M.P., will move, " That a memorial be presented to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, repre senting, in the opinion of this Court, it is expedient, with a view to insure for the future prompt and simultaneous action on the subject of the cattle plague, that further measuresbe adopted for the regulation of cattle traffic throughout the area of counties or larger districts. That in the framing of any measures for the regulation of cattle traffic provision be made for the transfer, with due precaution, of live cattle from the farms where they are reared to the farms where such cattle are usually grazed. And further, that provision be made for the supply, under such restrictions as may be absolutely necessary, of cattle for immediate slaughter to the consuming population, subject, however, to the condition that cattle be sent to any town or place be not allowed to leave such town or place alive." ESSEX. Cases have been reported at Great Bentley, Wix, St. Osyth, &c., but the disease does not appear to be extending very seriously. OXFORDSHIRE. The cattle plague is spreading and increasing in virulence, more particularly in the Woodstock dis trict adjoining Oxford. Many fatal cases have oc curred in the parishes of Cassington, Yarnton, Kid lington, and Watereaton, which is one of the finest grazing villages in the county. The homoeopathic system is still being tried there, and on a farm at Tuscot, on the banks of the Cherwell and adjoining Marston, where the plague almost decimated the horned cattle, the Russian remedy, the vapour bath, has had a trial, the apparatus being most elaborate, but the four cases submitted to it have all resulted fatally. In the Otmoor towns (Bicester district) it has also appeared, as well as at Crawley (Witney district). The neighbouring counties of Berks and Bucks have also felt the influence of the plague. SUFFOLK. The disease has been making great strides in the neighbourhood of Mildenhall. Messrs. Gittus, Youngman, Butcher, Ayes, Rolfe, and others have lost nearly 30 beasts. In the ',worth district th inspector has had no fresh cases to report, and he has now no diseased beasts on his hands during the past week, however, three beasts have died. The neighbourhood of Rickinghall is also now free from the disease. Of the whole number of beasts attacked DEAFNESS. —The SOUND MAGNIFIER, and Invisible Voice Conductor.

CHARLES NASH, Bee. LONDON, TILBURY, AND A special general meeting of held yesterday at the London T Eley in the chair. Mr. KENNELL, the secretary, ha\ advertisement convening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said the meeting had been con vened to consider an agreement made with Messrs. Phillips, Greaves, and Co., and which, if approved by the shareholders, would result in a large accession of traffic to the railway at Thames Haven. Messrs. Phillips, Greaves, and Co. were to expend £5,000 in the construction of a new pier there, and the Tilbury Company had engaged to expend the sum of £2,500 in the formation of sidings and cattle pens, the interest on which would be paid by Messrs. Peto during the remainder of the existing lease, and afterwards by Messrs. Phillips, Greaves, and Co. A schedule of pier dues was appended to the agree ment, beyond which those gentlemen could not extend the charge. The Solicitor then read the heads of the agree ment, from which it appeared that Messrs. Phillips, Greaves, and Co. were to have a lease of certain Premises for 21 years, and to expend during the first nine months £5,000 in the construction of a new pier, and to have the use of the present pier and the new pier during the term of the lease. Messrs. Phillips and Co. would also be at liberty to construct another pier should it be necessary to ac commodate the traffic, and also to provide all steam machinery for loading and unloading the railway trucks. They were to conduct the traffic in an efficient manner, and to bring to the piers all the traffic they could, and to pay all taxes. The tolls to and from the pier were fixed at a reasonable rate for passengers and goods, and the railway company were to expend £2,500 on sidings, cattle-pens, and other matters to accommodate the traffic, upon which Messrs. Peto and Co. were to pay interest on the £2,500 at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum during the unexpired term of the lease of-the rail way, and thereafter Messrs. Phillips and Co. were to pay interest on that sum to the company at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum until the termina -1 tion of the proposed agreement with the company. After a short discussion a formal resolutien ap proving the agredment was unanimously adopted, and the directors were authorised to take the neces sary steps to carry the same into effect. The meeting then separated. W RAILWAY INTELLIG SPAPER a : 4 via .'"' l • 4 7 4. S WATERLOO AND WHITEHALL. The works of this company's lines are progressing. Ma short distance from Charing-cross-bridge, and between the north and south shores of the Thames, groups of piles have been driven into the bed of the river, marking out the sites for the piers and the route of the line, which will be nearly parallel with the railway bridge. The ground for the 'Whitehall station in Scotland-yard has been enclosed and a cofferdam commenced for the formation of the north abutment. Running from the station in Scotland yard, the line will be carried in brickwork beneath the tunnel of the Metropolitan District Railway, and then under the Low-level Sewer to the northern abutment. From this iron tubes of 16ft. diameter are to be laid on the clay beneath the river. The trough in the bed of the river is now being dredged for the tubes. From the south abutment the line will be completed to the Waterloo station in brickwork, passing on its way beneath the Belvedere and York roads to a terminus near the South-Western Rail way station. At the cab entrance to the Waterloo station in the York-road will be the pumping station, where the engines, &c., are to be erected for work ing the traffic. It is expected that this pneumatic railway will be finished in about 12 months. VARNA. The report stated that an article in the statutes required the first general meeting of the company to be held within two years from the signing of the statutes by the Turkish Government on the 31st of December, 1863. It was likewise provided that general meetings should be held in March and September, and it was the intention ,of the directors to submit a report and balance-sheet to the proprietors at the general meeting to be held in March next, The report of Mr. M'Candlish, the engineer, co:ltained a satisfactory account of the state of the works throughout its whole length of 146 miles, and left no doubt that the rail 'ray would be opened for traffic in October next year, which was one year sooner than was required by the terms of the concession. Great credit was due to the contractors, Messrs Peto, Betts, and Compton, and their representative in Turkey, Mr. J, T. Barkley, for the energy with which they had overcome all difficulties in the execution of the works. The Turkish Government had taken steps for the imme diate return of the caution money (£40,000). The engineer in his report stated that 65 miles of the permanent way had been laid in nearly equal pro portions at each end, leaving to be laid about 75 miles, and as the progress was equal to about five miles per week, he hoped that the rails would be laid throughout from Varna to Rustchuk by about the middle of July next. The construction of the railway from Giurgevo (opposite Rustchuk) to Bucharest had been commenced, and as that line would be opened within two years, the traffic from.

LEICESTER, Dec. 27.—Very little has been doing this week in the hosiery trade, the Christmas holi days having interfered with business generally. In the rural districts trade remains quiet. Future pro spects of the hosiery trade generally are encouraging. Worsted yarns are firm, and high prices are quoted. There is no material change in wool, which continues dear. Cotton yarns are unaltered in value. The hosiery and yarn markets are each bare of stock. NOTTINGHAM, Dec. 27.—Business in the lace trade has been interrupted this week by the almost gene ral closing of the warehouses on Monday and Tues day. No transactions of any importance are ex pected to take place until the new year has well commenced. The plain net trade continues fiat, and there is not much doing in fancy goods. The silk branch is for the most part inactive. There is a little doing in Mechlins and quillings, and a few orders for black laces are in course of completion. Narrow edgings are not in request. The hosiery trade has been also interrupted by the annual holi days. The demand, however, for goods remains very active. Foreign orders are plentiful, and the home trade is fully as active as it usually is at this time of the year. Yarns remain firm and high in price. THIEVES AT A COURT DINNER.—The Grand Mar shal of the Court at Berlin has given notice to the police that on the occasion of the State dinner given to the Court in honour of the Princess Alexandrine's marriage, some ill advised persons stole several pieces of plate, and in par ticular two silver dishes, ton large spoons, and five forks of the same metal, with a dozen spoons and -forks in plated ware, without doubt supposed to be silver.
