Birkbeck, because they evidently come from one of a class which he laboured for thirty years to elevate in the scale of social life. We are glad to End this proof of attach ment to his memory, and regret that we cannot insert the verses. HMI WATER" AT LONDON BRIDGE TO.MORROW Morning.. ...17 minutes after II (_Evening 0 minutes after 0. Tht LONDON: S ATLRDAY DECEMBER 25, 1841. It is our painful duty to relate another of those awful': 'railroad accidents which within the last twelve months have excited alarm in the public mind, for the success of these great undertakings, and caused the deepest affliction in private families; and it would be some consolation if we could state that the calamity which has just occurred near Reading, was one of pure accident, or a visitation of GOD which no fpresight or caution could avert. Unfortunately, however, the friends of the killed and wounded, and the thoumnds who sympathise with the sufferers, have no such grounds for resig nation. With proper caution it is pos sible all the unfortunate persons who were hurried in a moment into eternity, might have escaped. , After the fatal accident on the Brighton - line from slips of earth, and considering the vast quantity of rain that has fallen since, it was the duty of the Superintendents on every road to order engine-drivers t o the go at a moderate rate, ' whenever the tr a i ns passed through deep cuttings. The fall of earth in this in stance, it would appear had taken place but'. a • few minutes, or perhaps seconds, before the train reached the s p o t , and no pr ecau ti on could preve nt this, but had the train been mov . , at a siow pace instead of going, during a dark morning, at thir t y mile s in the hOUT such a loss of life could not have taken place. But this is the least melancholy part of the horrible catastrophe. The Directors had suf ficient warning, from the last fatal accident On the Brighton line, that there was little or no chance of safety for a carriage placed immediately behind the tender, with eight or ten in succession; yet, on this occasion, all experience and facts were set at defiance. The truck in which the poor passen gers were placed was attached to the tender, a long line ofluggage carriages followed, the engine was forced off the rail, the truck was thrown athwart the line, and in a moment was over whelmed by the carriages behind, which were thrown up in the air, and fell with a fearful crash upon the devoted passengers. Had the truck been placed last, and the train been moving (as common sense might have dictated) at a moderate pace, we assert confidently that not one life would have been lost. Many of the Directors are excellent, humane men; the enginee r deserves every praise for the admirable dad se cure line which he at last accomplished, in spite of vast apposition; and we believe all connected with the Company sincerely regret the result;* but stilt we are bound to state fitcts and con clusions which 'Cannot possibly be refuted. And why do the servants of the Company attempt to conceal fact- - ; which must eventually come to light? By mo doing they Only increase the ge neral alarm, and make the public believe that the calamity in greater than the reality, and that there is some grosf, mismanagement or culpable negli genca which they would cover in darkness. Let them tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and they will serve their own interests, and relieve the public mind from a vast load of anxiety. We received a report last night of the fatal event, but it was so frightful, and evidently so magnified, that we refrained from even alluding to it. Two o'CLocK.—On making inquiry at the sta- tion we are glad to learn that no more deaths have been reported, but the servants of the Company now admit, when the truth can no longer be concealed, that the ac counts in the papers arc not at all exaggerated. It has been discovered that one of the persons killed was named JOHN HAYNES, from the name in his hat. The following leading, paragraph appeared in the Herald of this morning. We give it with out comment, solely on the authority of that Journal : We have reason to believe that a very serious mis understanding now exists between the British Go vernment and the United States, arising on the one hand from the unwilligness of the American President to apologise for the detention of a British subject (M'Leod), on an unfounded charge, and on the other, from the alleged fact that vessels engaged in the slave trade are notoriously fitted-out in American ports. Lord Aberdeen, as we learn, has written repeated and decided notes on both these subjects, without as yet receiving satisfactory answers ; and, considering the fresh obligations imposed on this country by the new Anti-Slave Treaty, it is much to be feared that something unpleasant may occur between both Govern ments. Our information on this subject is derived from a most authentic source. On Thursday afternoon Baron PASQUIER, Pre sident of the French Court of Peers, pronounced the sentence of that Court upon QUENISSET and his accomplices for an attempt to assassinate the Royal Princes, and for being members of a revo lutionary association. The wretch QUENISSET, who throughout the trial conducted himself rather as a prosecutor than as a criminal, and who seemed to take a fiendish de light in involving as many persons as he could in his own guilt, has not es caped having sentence of death recorded against him. It was, however, supposed from the high favour in which he appeared to stand with the President of the Court for having as sisted the Procureur-General in brow-beating his fellow-prisoners in the course of their exami nation, that his life would be saved. Still the smiles and blandishments of such partisan Judges and Court parasites as Baron PASQUIER, are a poor protection against the sharp axe of the guillotine, when bared by the sentence of a criminal court. The following report of the sentence of the Court of Peers upon the prisoners implicated in this affair, is from the Paris Correspondence of the Post, dated Thursday afternoon : The Court of Peers met this afternoon, and the public was admitted at a quarter past one. The prisoners, ac cording to custom, were not present. The Chancellor, Baron Pasquier, read with a firm voice the judgment. It was as follows: Quenisset Death. Colombier Brazier alias .T Petit Deportation (confinement for life). Jarrasse Dufaur ldem. Boggio Fifteen years' detention. Mallet Boucheron Launois I )upoty Five years' detention. Bazin Martin, Fougeray, Bouzer, & Prim', and Considere ac quitted. Boggio,llett, Boucheron, Launois, Dupoty, and Brazier to be under the surveillance of the police for their lives at the expiration of their confinement. The detention is a peine ii!fanutnte, and Dupoty thus loses his right as a citizen for ever. - No execution is contemplated, as the clemency of the King will be exercised, at the request of the Royal Princes who were fired at. The meeting of journalists to-night, to take into con sideration Dupoty's conviction and the results for the press, is expected to be important. Paris is as yet tranquil. By convicting DUPOTY of the crime of treason for merely editing a journal read by traitors in common with other readers of newspapers, the Peers have declared war to the knife against the Press. They have now indeed drawn the sword, and flung away ,the scabbard. We shall now see how much of that power which hurled the tyrant CHARLES THE TENTH from the throne, continues to be wielded by the Press of France. By condemning DUPOTY, the Peers have virtually abrogated the Charter have proclaimed to Frenchmen in the face of Europe that no laws exist in France which can screen innocence itself from their vengeance. The struggle will be a fierce one. May it terminate in the prostration of this infamous Star-Chamber, and its base progeny , the September Laws ! et 4-q? A The Spanish Cortes is to be opened to-mor row, and great, indeed, is the interest which this event has already excited in the political circles of Madrid. Senor SURRA Y RULL, the Minister of Finance, has devoted much of his time to the study of political economy, and during the brief period since his taking office has certainly performed wonders in the way of retrieving the national credit. The long out-standing cliims of the British and French Auxiliary Legions were liquidated in the midst of a domes tic insurrection, known to be countenanced by the French Government, and no efforts have been left untried to meet the demands of other classes of public creditors. This able and honest Minister has arrived at the conclusion that, without adopting the principles of free trade, Spain can never arrive at any high degree of prosperity, and therefore he has armed him self with Reports of Committees upon the subject, which will be early laid before the Cham ber of Deputies. He expects to be ably sup ported by Senor MARLIAN!, a political economist of the HUSKISSON school, who, after the most di ligent inquiry, has found that what is called the " protective system" has been the ruin of Spain. Still we have our fears that the Opposition will prove too strong for them. If, after the advan tages England has derived from commerce during a period of two centuries, and with the aid of an unfettered Press to guide public opinion, there be at thisday in Parliament a majority of our legislators who pretend to see national ruin in the free importation of corn, can we wonder that there should be in King-trodden, priest-ridden Spain, a majority of the National Representatives decidedly opposed to any inva sion of the privileges claimed by Spanish mono polists? Is there anything more natural than that they should retort upon Senors SURRA Y. RULL and MARLIANI, the sophistries urged against the free-trade policy of the MELBOURNE Cabinet by PEEL and Co.? And vet nothing would, at this moment, tend so much to enrich Spain, and to place her once more in the list of great Powers, as a good tariff, based as closely as possible upon the principle of free trade. By concluding a com mercial treaty with England, reciprocally based on that principle, Spain would open to her self the b est market in the world for her corn, her w i ne, her oil, her wool, and her fruits, while in return she would receive manufactures thirty per cent. cheaper than any protective sys tem will ever enable her to produce them. Add to this that England would supply her with that agricultural skill of which she stands in such dand which them hicliapplied t o h er gen i a l so il s an industrious the m ost productive in Eu rope. Capital, too, • s neighbouring wouldnee rende State wou ld have no difficulty in ra i s i ng t o any amount in this country. Spain is e minently an agricultural country, just as England is a manuthet urin gone. To enrich both they have onl y exchange of their respect ive p roducts . Mutually to strive to excel in producing the sauce things is to injure both their interests. A man having four suns does not make them all • farmers, or tailors, or watchmakers, or weavers. He puts one upon the loom to weave cloth, another he apprentices to a tailor to make garments for his brethren, a third is brought up to till the ground to grow them all food, and the fourth is taught to construct watches. Thus, by a mutual exchange of labour, they are all clothed, fed, and provided with watches. Now nations should study the wise economy of this father of a family. To try to be independent of each other is to endeavour to extend and perpetuate beggary and barbarism. The more nations are dependent one upon an other the wealthier, and the happier they must THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1841 become. This mutual dependence has also the effect of preventing wars, by making it the in terest of every citizen to endeavour to maintain peace. We therefore trust that every advance made by the present Government of Spain to a closer commercial intercourse with England will meet with the support of every party in this country. We have received the whole of the French Papers of Thursday, with Madrid Journals of the 16th instant. The following are extracts: — It is believed that the Council-General of Commerce is determined on declaring for the abolition of the beet root sugar system, allowing an indemnity to the growers. The Council of Agriculture, it is expected, will pro nounce itself for the preservation of the beet-root sys tem, with some changes in the duties ; and the Chamber of Deputies, it is supposed, will oppose any indemnity on account of the state of the finance. From this, it results, that it is still i m p oss ibl e t o f oresee w h at will be come of this important question.—Temps. BAYONNE, DEC. 19.—The Spanish Government has just appointed M. Soler, formerly Secretary of Legation in Greece, to the post of Consul at Bayonne, Marshal Saldanha, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of Portugal in Austria, arrived at Bay onne the day before yesterday. He is to embark at Marseilles for Italy, whence he will proceed to Vienna. Lieutenant-General Espeletta, formerly Captain-Ge neral of the island of Cuba, has passed through Bay onne on his way to Spain.—Commerce. It being a question at Toulouse what means should be taken for introducing greater uniformity into the lines of the streets, and for widening the narrowest ones, the Minister of the Interior, on the recommendation of the Prefect, has most judiciously adopted the principle of ordering the general plan for this purpose to be drawn up by an architect of taste and judgment, who is a member of the Committee for the preservation of monu ments. M. Mege has, therefore, been instructed to pre sent a plan in which all the public monuments shall be respected, and not sacrificed to the supposed exigencies of the locality (as is unfortunately too often the case in Paris), and in which all private houses and buildings of historical interest shall be carefully preserved. If a similar plan had been adopted a few years ago in the capital, at Rouen, and some other large towns in France, the country would not now have to deplore the loss of many of its most valuable historical relics ; and Paris, in particular, would be much richer in public and private buildings of real national value even than at present. In no part of France is public and official Vandalism car ried to a higher point than in the capital. The Royal Academy of Medicine made a distribution yesterday of the annual vaccination prizes to the candi dates who obtained them for 1839. The grand prize of 1,500 f. was divided between Dr. Belloz, of Besancon; Dr. Litschgi, of Molsheim, near Strasbourg; ar.d Dr. Nichet, of Lyons. Four gold and 100 silver medals were also awarded. The total number of vaccinations effected in 1839 was 528,265, being 45,417 more than in 1838. In the same year there had been 14,917 cases of small pox, of which 1,497 were fatal; but in 1838 there had been only 9,411 cases. The number of hands engaged in mining operations in Belgium is reckoned at from 38,000 to 40,000. Out of these about 100 suffer from serious accidents every year. A farmer and his wire, at Nonan-sur-Loire, having been accused of petty robbery, and fearing the conse quences, vent last week to a notary at Beaugency, and made their wills in favour of the children of the husband by a prior marriage. They then proceeded to a rela tion's at Courbouzon, where they dined. A short time afterwards the husband was seized with violent pains, and died. The medical men, who examined the stomach after death, found in it sufficient arsenic to kill twenty persons. The question is whether this was an act of sui cide or of murder by a third person. The general belief is, that both the deceased and his wife had contemplated self-destruction, but the latter had failed in her resolu tion when the time came to carry it into execution. The Magistrates are making the requisite inquiries to ascer tain the truth. A correspondent at Amsterdam confirms the state ment that the ])utch Government had decided on esta blishing, as soon as possible, a line of steam-packets, to run regularly between Amsterdam and Batavia, the capital of the island of Java. Depots of coals and pro visions are to be formed for them at Cape St. Vincent, in Portu g al; at San Jorge del Mira, on the coast of G u i nea; at the Cape of Good Hope, and on the island of St. Paul, lying about 600 geographic leagues from Java, and nearly desert. A letter from Luxembourg, in a Frankfort journal, gives the following particulars of the late melancholy affair in that town :—" It appears that at the ball supper at Diekirch, in honour of the King Grand Duke, M. Durion. the burgomaster, having made a speech against the German Customs Union, which was severely criticised by a Dr. Kuborn, M. Dumont, the receiver of the registry duties, went up to the Doctor with a knife in his hand, and challenged him to repeat what he had said. Kuborn having repeated it, Dumont plunged the knife up to the handle in his heart." The Correctional Tribunal of Chatelherault, in the Vienne, having, on the 23d inst., been called upon to try certain inhabitants of the commune of Cernay for resistance to the Government agents for taking the cen sus, delivered a long and elaborate judgment declaring that resistance to an illegal act is a lawful right ; that the agens des contributions did not possess the quality auth.rising them to take the census ; and, consequently, the resistance opposed to them in this quality did not constitute either a crime or offence.

'" i1: SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vubitt Opinton. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The French Court of Peers' decided on Thursday the fate of Quenisset and his accomplices. Baron Pasquier, the President, in the absence of the prisoners, pronounced sentence of death upon Quenis se t, Colombier, and Bazier ; imprisonment for life upon Dufaur, Jarrasse, and Petit ; imprisonment for fifteen years upon Mal let and Boggio ; imprisonment for ten years upon Lau nois and Boucheron ; detension for five years, and loss of all civil rights upon M. Dupoty, for writing a Journal read by the conspirators ! A similar sentence was passed on Bazin; and Prioul, Martin, Fougeray, and Considere, were acquitted. The necessary prepara tions were made for the decapitation of two of the three prisoners condemned to death. The King of the French will open the new Session of the Chambers in person on Monday. "It is reported," says the Constitutionnel, " that in the last meeting of the Council of Ministers a warm discussion arose on a para graph in the Speech from the Throne which M. Guizot had proposed. It was a question in this paragraph of giving express approbation to the project of the treaty of commerce with Belgium. M. Humann is said to have opposed himself very energetically to its adoption, and the Council was unable to come to any decision at this sitting." During 1840 there were 144 money letters, containing 230,000 E, confided to the Post-offi ces throughout France, and have not yet been claimed. The total number of such letters not claimed since IS3O is 482, and the value of their contents 765,8001'. In a letter from Madrid of the 15th inst., we find the following In the event that any of your Liverpool readers should feel disposed to enter into contracts with this Government--which I neither recommend nor dis courage—l convey the intelligence that tenders will be received at the public offices on the 15th of February next, from such parties as are willing to sell to the Spanish Government five thousand tierces of Havannah, and two thousand hogsheads of Kentucky. in both in stances leaf, tobacco, at prices which shall not exceed 20:1 dollars per quintal of 100Ibs. for the first-named, and 13 dollars for the other, deliverable in equal propor tions in May, June, and July following, at the Govern ment stores of Corunna, Seville, Alicante, Valencia, and one other port, the payment to be guaranteed by the mortgage of one-third the gross proceeds of the whole sale and retail sales of the article at the Government stores. Your readers are not, probably, aware that the sale prices are about 1,000 per cent. more than those of purchase." M. Mendizabal, the ex-Finance Minister, and M. Weisweiller, Rothschild's agent, had arrived in Madrid, on the 15th from Paris. The Correo Nacional states that its editor has been acquitted by the Jury of the charge preferred against him by the Gover nmen t. A l e tt er from Oviedo, in the Castellano, announces the capture of seven bandits who had, for some time past infested the neighbourhood. The municipal elections in Alicant were the occasion of serious rioting. A band of 20 or 30 assassins entered the hall in which the elections of the parish of St. Mary were quietly proceeding, and one of them stabbed with a poniard M. Luis Maria Proyet, a deputy in the Cortes, who was acting as secretary in the assembly. Strong measures were immediately adopted by the authorities, and several of those miscreants were apprehended and committed for trial. General Amor had been arrested by order of Genera Rodil, and was to be tried 'by the court-martial sitting at Vittoria. Four new periodicals have been started at Madrid, the Independienle, the Argos, the Peninsular, and the Censor del Ambos Mundos, the latter especially dedicated to sub jects connected with the co l on i a l possessions of Spain. On the 14th inst. Sir Robert Gordon was formally received by the Emperor of Austria, to whom his Ex cellency presented his credentials as Ambassador to Austria. Letters from Constantinople of the 30th in the Gazette of Upper Germany of the 20th inst., state that advices had reached the Turkish capital from Beyrout of the march of Selim Pacha, Governor of Syria, at the head of three thousand men, for the Lebanon, and that the Maronites had laid down their arms on being summoned, but that the Druses had retreated into the mountains; Colonel Rose (the British officer) had gone on a mission to the Emir of the Druses to induce them to submit. A letter from Smyrna of Nov. 27th, says, "By con fidential letters from Alexandria we learn that an Euro pean Power has been instigating Mehemet Ali to acts of hostility against the Sultan ; but the Pacha, who has not forgotten the lesson given him last year by England, does not seem inclined to risk losing what he has been allowed to retain. French agents are very busy in the Archipelago. One of these aunts lately received a re mittance of 2,000,0001. through a house at Smyrna. The money came direct from Marseilles." AMERICAN NEWS (EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.) MUTINY IN A SLAVER. Captain J. It. Crosbie, of the brig Elizabeth Wood, from Nassau, 'New Providence, sailed the 21st November, reports that the brig Creole, of Richmond, Virginia, bound to New Orleans arrived at Nassau on the 9th November, with about 150 slaves on board, in a mutinous state. They obtained possession of the vessel, and de manded that they should be landed at a British colony. Having disabled the Captain, and killed some of the crew, they murdered Mr. Howell, part-owner 'of the slaves, who was passenger on board, by severing his head from his body, and afterwards throwing his remains overboard. They compelled another ship-captain, who was on board as passenger, to. steer the brig to Nassau, where he made the above report on arrival. Several of the ringleaders were placed in prison, and the rest of the slaves suffered to go at liberty. It was reported that the Americans protested aiainst their being allowed to land, hut without effect. The Creole had sailed again for New Orleans in charge of the crew. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. There is no business doing in the City to-day, the Stock Exchange Bank and all the public offices are closed. There are several arrivals this morning, but the only one of a later date, is from the Cape of Good Hope, the papers reach to the 21st October. The paper of the 20th contains an extract of a letter from Port Natal, dated 31st August, which states that—" 'With respect to politi ca l affairs, every thing goes on quietly. Umpanda, it is said, has paid Dingaan's debt and his own to the emigrants, but trade with his people is not yet permitted."

PUISIAC OPXNXON. The following appears in the Morning Post :—" Among the queerest things which have happened at this Christ mas time may, we think, be reckona the sudden twist of that enlightened' Whig-Radical organ the Morning Chronicle, regarding the present Corn-law. Most people who care anything at all about newspaper discussion (if by that name it may rightly be called) must be pretty well aware that for months past the Chronicle writers have been assailing the Corn-law in a fashion which more resembles the bellowing of mad bulls than the ex postulation of rational creatures. All the epithets of fury and ferocity which the more vehement parts of our language supply have been used up' over and over again in successive attacks upon the Corn-law. This, we say, is very well known. Well, then, on Christmas Eve out comes the Chronicle with its disco veries that the Corn-law is not so very bad after all. It has its good points in the shape of certain openings to fraud, which Whig-Radicals find rather convenient, and they have no notion of quietly surrendering these pet portions, for such, it seems, there are. of this very well abused Corn-law. And whence comes this change. Why, the Corn-law has been touched by the Conservative wand of that potent magician, Mr. Christopher, in the county of Lincoln, and straightway it becomes tolerable (by comparison) to Whig-Radical vision." The Herald contains the following seasonable observa tions:" Never did appeals to the charity of English men—never did demands upon their active humanity— arise so thickly round them, after a quarter of a century of peace with all the Powers of Europe, as those which are addressed to them at this moment by hundreds upon thousands of their destitute compatriots! How this ac cumulation of misery can have attained its present fear ful height and extensive prevalence—in what degree fluctuations in our manufacturing prosperity, convulsions of our monetary system, defective harvests, the surplus supply of labour at home co-incident with an adequate demand for it abroad, deficiencies of the public revenue, and declining imposts —in what degree all these may have operated to produce so fearful a combination of distress and physical suffering, we propose not, now, to inquire. Our purpose is, rather to implore all classes of the British public, who are happily placed beyond the reach of sordid want—of that intense and abject misery which we will characterise by its well known and emphatic designation of ' pauper destitu tion'—now to come forward, and with a timely bounty— with hearts open as day to melting charity'-hands liberal and unstinting (moved by pity b u t gu id e d by dis cretion), to relieve the misery and loneliness of the children of want—the great family of hunger and of desolation !" —The Herald would be much better employed in appeal ing to the justice of the Government, than in appealing to the charity of individuals. Private charity may cer tainly do much in the way of alleviation, but it is the broad and comprehensive justice of Government alone, that can effectually relieve the great and increasing family of hunger and of desolation. Unfortunately, however, but scantyj ustice is to be expected from a monopolist Ministry. We quote the following from the Chronicle :—" A merry Christmas—we were going to say, to all you good people of England. But the mockery of the unmeaning compliment grated on our ear before we could commit it to paper ; and we withheld our pen from writing words that would have had the semblance of an un feeling jest on general and acute suffering. A merry Christmas it is to the present rulers of the people of England, proud of their newly-acquired power and the maintenance of their monopolies ; but we cannot say that we wish them a monopoly of mirth. A merry Christmas it is not to the people governed by them, and our wishing will not make them enjoy destitution and despair. Our rulers are gone into the country, and the cares of governing give place for a while to those of shooting and the festivities of the season."—lt must be exceedingly consoling to the thousands of famishing operatives of Paisley,. Bolton, and elsewhere, to know that though for them there is this year no " merry Christmas," yet that their Tory rulers are spending the season at their several residences in all due merriment and festivity. What though there be starvation in the Manchester cellars and attics, is there not feasting at Drayton Manor ? This is a reflection that should calm the spirits, and appease the discontent of the starving artisans, and subdue that "ignorant impatience of taxa tion," which the late Lord Castlereagh so justly accused them of exhibiting. The Times, alluding to the appointment of the Corn mission respecting the Exchequer bill fraud, says : "We do not remember that we ever saw a contrivance so exactly answering to the common phrase, 'neither the one thing nor the other.' Two legitimate subjects are before the Government and before the country. The first is, to see that the ends of justice are answered, and to make it quite clear that no impunity has been allowed through favour or affection' to any persons criminally concerned in the recent forgeries. As the matter stands, various honest men in the City of London are defrauded of large sums, which either thefor the nation must ultimately lose. Now, the general voice demands that those who have committed • this great crime shall be strictly and impartially brought to justice ; and a considerable degree of dissatisfaction exists, and is spreading ; from a doubt whether this has really tisfitctory manner, w ou ld i n d ee d b e an o bj ec t worthy of To' m ee t thi s ques ti on i tt a f r ank and sa sbuecell: done anin . vestigation. A second purpose' would be, to devise means • fir the effectual prevention of any such frauds in future ; and this, too, must be admitted to be a very fit topic for the gravest inquiry. But neither from the language of the above quoted document itself; nor yet from the character of the persons whose names appear in it, can we discover which of these two points is to form the subj ect f or i nvest i g ation ; or wh e th er both are to be, i n some strange way , co mbined. Th ere is not a word in the commission touching the discovery of delinquents, nor is there one among the whole four Commissioners who can be imagined to have the least skill in thief -catching.' " MONMY—TRADE—COIVEIVIERCE. The state and condition of ,Larks en, near Blackburn, is another deplorable instance of distressed trade. At a meeting held there on the 13th inst., it appeared that out of 1,200 families visited, comprising 8,005 individuals, 684 persons were out of work ; and that 602 individuals of the whole received only 71d. per head a week. At Nottingham, ont of 4,700 bobbin-net machines formerly worked by 8,000 men, there now not employed more than 1,600 machines, worked by 3,000 men. COMMERCIAL REFORM. In addition to the conference of ministers to be held at Edinburgh, there will also be a demonstration at Glasgow in favour of a total repeal of the Corn-laws on the two following days:—Friday, the 14th, and Saturday the 15th of January. AGRICULTURAL. _ Coffee and pepper are about to be cultivated on the western shores at Sumatra. Many of the tracts' in the 'United States are so rich that the cultivators are compelled to plant Indian corn on them for four or five years to impoverish them be fore wheat is sown. A small plain in Pickaway county of about 1,500 acres, planted with corn, has produced 100 bushels to the acre, and this same amount of crop has continued for two or three years. ECCLESIASTICAL. An odd game seems to be now playing in one corner of the samituary. When it is objected by some that "Mr. 'Williams is no Protestant," it is answered, " No, but he is a poet." When it is objected that he is no poet, it is replied, " True, but then he is a Puseyite." PINE ARTS. Paul Delaroche 's great painting, now exhibiting at the School of Fine Arts, Paris, represents Ictinus, Apelles, and Praxiteles, judging the world of art. The great painters, artists, and sculptors, of a ll ag e s, are grouped upon benches. The face of Apelles is that of Delaroche himself. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC. It is proposed that to prevent the effluvium which arises from the decomposition of bodies, the coffin should be filled up with Plaster of Paris, which, mixed with water, and poured into the coffin in a liquid state, be comes in a few minutes fixed and hard, and prevents every escape of effluvia. The additional cost would not be more than 2s. or 3s. for each funeral. The tenderest roses may be preserved through the winter, if by thatching and burying'their roots and stems, the earth about them is protected from the frost. COURT- 7 -FASiIION/113X.E. The Marquis and Marchioness of Thomond returned to Belgrave-square early in the week. The Marchioness of Queensberry is expected to arrive to-day from Kinmount Flouse, Dumfries-shire. The Earl and Countess of Wilton left Grosvenor square, on Thursday, for Strathfieldsaye, the seat of the Duke of Wellington. The Countess of Jersey arrived in town on Thursday evening from Brighton. Lord Fitzroy Somerset has returned to town from visit ing Lord Hill at Hardwicke Grange. Lord and Lady Seymour have arrived at Naples for the winter. Lord Ashburton returned to the Grange from Eath House on Monday last. Lord Stanley left Knowsley yesterday for town. misCELLANEOI7I3. The oriental ingredients which enter into the com position of our Christmas mincepies are supposed to have a reference to the offerings made by the wise men of the East ; and it was anciently the custom to make these pies of an oblong form, thereby representing the manger in which, on that occasion, the sages found the infant Jesus. The gulf of Cronstadt on the 3d instant was entirely free from ice ; an unusual instance of mild weather in Russia. The slip on the Croydon Railway is now cleared, and the Brighton trains pass through without interruption. The most rigid winter on record was that of 1709. All the rivers and lakes were ice-bound to the bottom ; birds and beasts were strewed in the fields, and human beings perished by thousands in their houses. A Worcester Paper states that the females greatly preponderate over the males in England. We are not surprised at this, for the Tory old women alone abound in prodigious numbers. There was a great display of excessive Tee-totalism in the streets last night ; and the president of a Temperance Society in the East, was discovered stretched full-length in a gutter in Cheapside, overpowered, no doubt, by the nervous excitement arising from green tea. DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. (BY EXPRESS.) (Latest - particulars.—From the Reading Mercury.) It is with feelings of deep regret that we have to record one of the most lamentable railway accidents that, we believe, has ever occurred in this country, and which took place this morning on that part of the Great Western Line, called " the g u ll e t,' the deepest part of the Sunning-hill cutting, rather more than two miles from Reading. It appears that during the interim that elapsed between the passing down of the goods train about midnight, and the arrival of a similar train at half past six this morning, the embankment of the south side of the gullet, and about one hundred yards east of the wooden bridge, gave way, completely covering about forty yards of the south or down line of rails. This un fortunate occurrence being unobserved by the police man at this district, no intimation of it could possibly be conveyed to the driver of - the approaching train, con sequently, on the arrival of the luggage train, at about half-past 6 o'clock, a most terrific scene occurred. The train which was progressing at its accustomed pace, and con sisted of twelve or fourteen waggons, two trucks, and the engine and tender, was suddenly thrown off the rails, and partially shattered to atoms. The engine, which was called the " Hecht," ran into the mass of earth, in which it was more than half buried, while the tender and passen ger trucks were turned over and jammed against the waggons immediately behind. The consternation at this moment, amid the expiring yells of some of the passengers, and the shrieks of others less injured, may be more easily conceived than detailed. One of the most distressing features, perhaps, of this awful scene, was the lament able cries of an aged father, who saw his son, who had accompanied him in this unhappy journey, literally crushed between the tender and the truck, and instanta neously killed. Another of the sufferers, apparently an aged man, was so shockingly mutilated, that his countenance was entirely indiscernible. Information of the dreadful catastrophe was conveyed to Reading as speedily as pos sible, and several medical gentlemen were shortly on the spot. There were about thirty passengers, including some females, nearly the whole of whom were more or less injured ; about twenty were brought on to Reading, in a carriage sent up for that purpose, and their appear ance, on their arrival at the station, was of the moat de pressing character. It is a remarkable fact, that neither the driver of the engine, nor his assistant, sustained any injury; the con ductor and the guard also escaped unhurt, although the former, we believe, was thrown from his seat over to the bank, upon which he fell with great force. The guard was thrown upon the opposite embankment, and the other officers were saved by leaping from their places. By about half-past eight o'clock a great number of persons had reached the spot, and the most active exer tions were made to extricate the poor fellows who were lying dead beneath the wheels and among the shattered fragments of the trucks. This, however, was a work of great difficulty as well as hazard ; and several hours elapsed before the heavy trucks were raised. The removal of each presented a spectacle too horrible to be described ; five of the unhappy men were extri cated without much delay, but the remaining three were so entangled with the wheels and shattered trucks, that they were for a long time unapproachable. One of these, a decently dressed mechanic, was taken in the waist by the tender and the truck, in an upright posi tion, his back being nearly severed by the crash. They were all at length removed to a small hut in the London road, where the eight bodies were deposited and covered with straw. One of them appeared about 18 years old, while the others, so far as we .could judge, were from about 20 to 30 years of age, except one man, who, as we have before stated, though not recognisable, must have been somewhat older. The engineer, with great presence of mind, shut off the steam before leaping from the engine, by which an explosion was prevented. The whole of the up and down trains were delayed at Twyford and Reading, until a pas sage could be effected, which was not until nearly mid-day. The total number conveyed to the hospital is 17, being twelve men and five women ; thirteen were imme diately placed in bed, more or ess seriously injured, combining fractures and dislocations ; but, with one exception, no amputation will be necessary : the most serious are two or three spinal cases, the inju ries being so severe, that there is little hope o f th e i r recovery. The other four, although much hurt and bruised, will shortly be enabled to proceed on their route to Bristol. Fortunately there were fewer pa tients in the Hospital than has been known for some weeks past, from which circumstance every accommoda tion and assistance was readily afforded the unfortunate sufferers. We would submit that the passenger trucks should be placed in a less dangerous situation than that in which they are generally (being attached to the engine), had they been placed behind the luggage waggons, this afflicting loss of life would, in all probability, have been avoided, as several of the last waggons retained their positions on the rails without receiving the slightest damage. The names of the deceased we have not yet learned ; but, from their appearance, they are principally mecha nics and labourers, and veers journeying towards Ciren cester and Bristol. The inquest, we believe, will be held this evening. - 7 -, SCENE IN A CHURCH.— Th e following ludi crous scene occurred a few weeks ago, at a village church not a hundred miles from Stallingborough. The clergyman, observing a boy in the gallery behaving in an' unbecoming manner, reproved him. An old and worthy member of the church, in the plenitude of his ' zeal for order and decorum, instantly jumped up, and called out, " Bring the rascal down, and I'll kick his No sooner was the threat uttered, than the young urchin was dragged down, and handed over to the tender mercies or the old zealot fur the honourof "God's house," who, having come out of his pew to meet him, took him by the collar, and very plentifully applied his foot to the boy's posteriors, to the no small amusement of the con gregation, and the moral benefit of the offender , whom he told to " G o i n peace , and s i n no more."—Lincoln Mercury. • BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, DEC. 23.—The business during the past week has been so trifling that it is impossible to give quotations—in fact both buyers and sellers are waiting till after the Christmas holidays. The offices will be closed to-morrow and remain so until Tuesday, the 4th of January.— Western Times. The noise made by the fall of the fish-market at Bordeaux was so great, as the local papers state, that the horses of a diligence, going at some distance, were so panic-struck that they all stopped short, and one of them fell. The wooden pillars which supported the roof-were evidently too weak, and also had become rotten at their bases. Most of the marble benches were broken by the fall THE DYING PUSEYITE.

(IN THE METRE OF MILTON'S " AGONISTES.”) God, all men are thy Sons : but some far higher Are so ordained and solemnly elected : Thy chosen servants these, Fully impregned with thy empyreal fire, By whom thy wise decrees Are duly furthered, and in part effected, Such was thy white-robed Christ Who left the shining throne— The sumptuous Heaven-halls that were his own— And in the likeness of a man by birth, Ministered upon earth. And such art Thou— Awful young Spirit of surpassing lustre ! O'er the proud-swelling cluster Of whose full life, and pulses, and sensations, And fiery-flighted Hopes and Aspirations Death's hand is sweeping : For in thy palmy days, How like a prophet-teacher, Or solemn Hebrew-preacher, Forth from thy lips God's gospel-truths were driven, Like trumpet-songs of seraphs rolled through Heaven. E'en now, when deathy faint, Half between earth, and half the empyrean— How teem thy lips, young Saint, With the full grandeurs of a glorious paean ! VOX PUSEYITICA. God ! God ! God Woe was the great Beginning When man—prime image of thine own resplendence, Grew dim by sinning:— Woe when the rosy-windowed Skies Wide open ever, Closed-in their Festivals and Symphonies Their Angels, and their Pearl-trees, and pure river:— When man in his distress And shame and nakedness, Before the planet-blazoned Universe, Bowed him beneath the curse.— No—God, God, God ! Said only idiots so— Fools who their own true grandeur could not know, But deemed thy ways of wisdom, ways of woe. Happy for me, and all earth's Adamites, That Adam, and that I too with him, fell : Had I been doomed to dwell Amid those sparkling Paradisal bowers Secure in blessedness unbreakable— Fed like an Angel in the lap of light On Eden's apples gold and lightning-bright, And the sweet milk of the nectareous stars— Had I down all Eternity's blue hours, In the white bosom of some Eve uxorious Unmasculined my powers, I had been blessed, isangelized, and pure, Had been beatified, and happy sure, But sure inglorious ! 111. God! be thou therefore thanked, That me thou didst create, Not incorruptible, nor in a state Full-fenced about with starry perfectness: — But on the dark-floored platform of the world Me from the womb has hurled Arrayed in neither asphodel or light, But—armoured darkly-bright In only mortal powers, Stauncher to struggle for immortal dowers— The more to agonize with might and main, My plumes, and crown, and purples to regain:— And by deep fasts, and mightiness of prayer, By spiritual throes and wrestlings rare, Again to robe my limbs in flowing whiteness, Again to tower with o'erpowering brightness, Again to gird around my brow a more Majestic splendour than it wore before.— IV. Therefore I thank thee, God — Thank thee stupendously, and praise thee greatly, That thou hast fashioned me, In my desires and imaginations, So very over-proud and passing stately : That therefore thou has thronged The skies and empyreans silver-songed, The sanctuaries and kingdoms of the Heavens, With such magnificently-made temptations As should allure my Spirit to aspire, And flame with irrepressible desire, To seize alone. The next grand-burning throne beside thy throne ! For no inferior stand, Among in the angels in thy star-paved land : No second place, In the gold courts or provinces of space : No drooping plume, Or third-rate wreath of amaranthine bloom ; No lowly Princedom or poor Satrapy Will guerdon me. V. God, God, God! Suffer me not to be Approachable in degree E'en by thy topmost Hierarchs, although Their saffron-robes like gold about them flow ! Though Glory's sweet light swim Around the brows of thy bright Cherubim It were for me too dim I Though thy tall Angels raise Their palm-wreathed heads amid the sapphire blaze, Their loftiness for me were still too low ! Past the great Seraph-Kings I, too, must go, Though their blue eyes with diamond-waters shine, And silver sceptres guide their steps divine ! Still higher—higher still, My lofty stature must hereafter fill, The jasper courts of thy everlasting dwelling:— And mightier vigours nerve, The radiant-arching curve. Of Wings, from my immortal shoulders swelling. VI. God, God, all•gracious God If these requests to me thou should'st deny Uttermost darkness must be mine, and I The second and eternal death shall die. But no—as faith and burning love believe —Too deeply trustful ever to deceive— I shall hereafter full before thee live, And shall be lion-voiced, and rainbow-crowned, ' In the grand heritanco thy grace shall give Ruling all thrones and firmaments around ! Lord God. th 3 goodness and thy love, I know, These on thy dying servant will bestow 0 rose-plumes of Archangel Gabriel's wing ! 0 cloud-white crown of pearl round Raphael's hair ! 0 Michael beautiful, and Uriel fair ! All the rich graces ye divide and share— All the high majesties that round ye shine— God will make also mine ! Whether the splendid doom fur which he yearned That noble Spirit gained, I cannot say : To mortal judgments it seemed fully earned If love and holy lives with God have sway : But this I know—from out the human Pit —The Grave's abysmal and inglorious hole— That, plume-uplifted, through the Infinite Sprang from the flesh his fiery-soaring soul. Rose his strong Spirit. Past the planets seven I saw him mounting—saw the mighty dead Winging the purple hollowness of heaven, By fiery-armoured Seraphim upled Troop after troop their sunlit legions filing-- Till Immortality—the proud high Queen — Through her high veil of veils serenely smiling, Oped her Majestic arms and clasped them in.

EVENING f S UN , MONUMENT TO MOZART. Mozart—whom Haydn reverenced for his ex traordinary powers, and whom Burney looked upon as the greatest leader of 'the nioderirseheol —has lain in the grave for aperiod of fiftYle ars ' and yet the whole of Germany has not, a n y instance, awarded a monument t IS m mory. The author of "La Clemenza di Tito," the Ido meneo," the " Nozze di Figaro," and a host of other exquisite productiOns has only been re membered in the airs and melodies of his own creation, which have been warbled since h is death in the halls and chambers of the Continen!' Haydn, in respect of a monumental memorial, e has been much happier than Mozart, for in th e . very town that gave birth to the latter, the chie f attraction to strangers is the monument erected to Michael in the splendid church of Salzbourg. "While Mozart sleeps unforgotten, without a relic to his remembrance, Michael :Haydn lies buried at the foot of the noble steps leading up from St. Rupert's Cathedral to the chapel and cell of St. Maximus; his heart, inclosed in a black marble ,A 1 urn, is placed on a monument erec t e d_tuhinio the neighbouring church of the Benedicti a T i o u g while the moss-covered rock, supportive of !"„ toic ;) urn, is scattered about with a number of marble tablets, on &tell of which is iiiscribe4ll!;7,lo9 first words of his most admired compositirs'lnicei A traveller who visited.
