i ~~~ ~. c ,~.< MARKET AND COMMERCIiL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A. steady business is reported to-day in the Dis count Market, and also at the Bank of England. The rates at which accommodation can be obtained do not exhibit the slightest change. Bar gold to the amount of £7,000 was with drawn from the Bank of England yesterday. It is notified that Mr. J. 11. Crawford, late of the Bengal Civil Service, has joined the Board of Directors of the East India Land, Credit, and Finance Company. The directors of the Consolidated Bank have issued their report, preparatory to their meeting on the 24th inst., in which they declare a divi dend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free of income tax. In the foreign and colonial produce markets dur lug the last few days there has been a moderate de mand for sugar, which has fully maintained previous rates. The operations in tea have been to a fair ex tent on the part of the trade ; while in rice only moderate transactions have been reported, at about former rates. Coffee has been in good request, particularly superior qualities of plan tation Ceylon, which has realised full prices. In tallow only moderate dealings have taken place, chiefly of a speculative character, and quotations for both present and forward delivery show no ma terial alteration. The Union Bank of Australia have given notice that they are authorised by the Wellington (New Zealand) Government to negociate a loan for £50,000 in debentures of £lOO each, bearing interest at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum. The princi pal will become due in July, 1886, and both princi pal and interest are made payable in London. Tenders will be received up to Wednesday, the 30th inst. • - The Ocean Marine Insurance Company have issued their report to the Ist December last. It appears from the accounts that there is a balance on underwriting and interest account of £215,027 after payment of all adjusted claims and all official charges and expenses. It is recommended by the directors that this amount shall be applied as fol lows :-XlO,OOO in payment of ss. per share, addi tional interest ; £40,000 in payment of bonus of £1 per share; £lO,OOO added to the reserve fund, thus increasing it to £50,000 ; £7,630 7s. 6d. to unap propriated reserve—£.67,63o 7s. 6d. Two o'CLocx. According to Reuter's telegram, this morning, the French Rentes were 69f. 27c. Heavy. There is still a general feeling of heaviness, but for what reason beyond the inertness of speculation it is difficult to conjecture, monetary and political relations developing no new feature of importance. Consols are 908 for money and account. Continued activity has prevailed in the dealings for the New Chilian Scrip, but at the moment the Inarket has become quiet, speculators being. very Shy now that it is known that about £17,000,000 have been applied for, while the amount to be allotted is only £2,000,000. Spanish Passive Bonds have advanced I, viz. , to 22 1 s on one of those spasmodic rumours of a set tlement; no credence, however, should be placed in the " oft-told tale," until there is something tangible jo the shape of an officialdocument, " signed, sealed, and delivered." Spanish Certificates, on the other hand, are de- Pressed the latest prices being 131 i, owing, it may be assumed, to the circumstance that they are not includel in the assuring prophecy of the rumour referred to. Increased heaviness has been apparent in the Railway Share Market, and the dealings have been Very limited. Great Eastern and Midland have e ach declined 1 ; Great Western, I ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, London, Chatham, and Dover, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and South- Eastern, each 1 ; while North-Western have im proVed 1.

Mr. Huddestone, Q.C., appeared to-day in support of a rule which he had obtained on Saturday calling on the plaintiff to show cause why there should not bo a non -suit or a new trial on the ground, in the first instance, that there was no case to go to a jury ; next, that the verdict was inconsistent with and against the evidence. It ap peared that the plaintiff, Miss Butler, had brought an action against a party named Brough, in Staffordshire, and that the defendant acted as her attorney in the suit. She then commenced an action against the defendant on the ground that he had ilfully neglected to enforce a judgment she hid obtained in the first suit, and that he entered into a settlement with the defendant Brough against her instructions. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, and awarded damages, which was another ground why the learned counsel moved that the verdict should be set aside. The learned counsel said that Mr. Knight was one of the most respectable professional men• in Staffordshire, and that the settlement he made was most profitable to the plaintiff. He contended that all liabi lity on the part of an attorney ceased when his client had obtained a judgment and cited, Archbold's Practice, Chitty's edition, page 85, and several other authorities, in support of his position. The verdict in the first suit was for £3OO, and the compromise was for £lOO, the attorney justifying what he had done by the fact that the defendant had no effects and his relations advanced the money. The plaintiff recovered damages of £2OO against the defendant in the present suit. The Lord Chief Baron considered that the defendant having received instructions from the plaintiff subsequent to the judgment in the first suit, rendered him liable for any act he did on her behalf. He quite agreed with the learned counsel (Mr. Huddlestone), that, except for the compromise he made, his client would have got nothing; but, in his opinion, he was clearly liable to the consequences of what he had done. Ho thought, however, that the damages were excessive under the circumstances, and suggested they should be re duced by £5O. Mr. Powell, Q.O , on the part of the plaintiff, said that he would communicate with his client, who would probably accede to the suggestion of the learned judge. The other judges concurred with his lordship, and the ease accordingly stands over until the plaintiff has decided in respect to the suggestion of the court. POLICE IN TELLIGESCE. This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. truzio TII TEETH. —James Rush, a rough-looking fel low, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and assaulting poliee-constable Marks, 120 C. The constable stated that he saw the prisoner at the top of the Haymarket yesterday afternoon, very drunk, and making a disturbance. He requested the prisoner to go away, but he refused, and threatened to knock him down with a broom he had in his hand. Ile then took the prisoner into custody, when he became very violent, and seizing his hand bit it severely, and also kicked a per son who came to his assistance. Brazier, 158 C, said that on going to the assistance of Marks he found the prisoner kicking violently, and on the way to the station the prisoner tried to bite him. The prisoner said he had assisted a man in putting some goods , into a van, and that the man having stood seven or eight half-pints of rum he got drunk. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would never pass over the brutal practice of biting. It was a practice disgraceful to human nature, and showed what low wretches there were. The prisoner would be fined 285., or 14 days. "Maggie" (Newcastle-on-Tyne) has forwarded 10s. for the poor people Long and Felds, whose case a few days agoappeared in this journal. THAMES. MATRIMONIAL SQUABBLES.—EIyam Rees, a middle-aged man, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with as-. saulting Eliza Rees his wife, who said she had been mar ried to the prisoner 17 years. She had tasted all the bitters of matrimony, but none of its sweets, and her life had been like that of a harrow. She prepared dinnor for her husband at 2 o'clock yesterday, and he did not return home till 8 o'clock in the evening. She was then out with a female friend, who came home with her at 10 o'clock, and remarked what very nice little rooms she possessed, and how happy she must be. All is not gold that glitters Mr. Partridge—Never mind your nice little rooms, tell me what your husband has done, and make haste about it. Witness—He did not like the woman I brought home with me, and he began to swear at me, and punch me, and gave me a black eye. I have summoned him to this court before, and he has been bound over to keep the peace to wards me, and is under recognizances now. The prisoner said he was grossly provoked by his wife last night, and she struck him three times on the head with a candlestick before he hit her. The Wife—He told that to the police last night, and I denied it. There is not a mark on his head. Inspector Brady, of the K division, examined the pri soner's cap handed to him, and said there was a grease mark outside, and it was broken within. There was no mark on the prisoner's head. The prisoner said his wifo was a drunken and dissi pated woman. He paid a fine of 40s. for her on one occa sion, and a guinea to a solicitor on another eccasion to get her out of trouble. Roche, the gaolor of the court, said ho recollected the complainant well ; she was not at all a sober woman. Mr. Partridge said the prisoner had no business to strike his wife, and he should bind him over to keop the poaco towards his wife for six months, and he must pay tho usual feo on entering into his rocognisances. t'ttIi;FEREN Great vorth ern, 5 per cent., Ditto, 5 per cent., redeen:mble at 10 per cent., 104 SliAltEts, PREFERENCE SLIA RES AND STOCK.ti London Brighton, &c., 4 per cent. 1860, -- Ditto, new 4, per cent., 188 , , 85 LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS.

The largo pond was frozen over, and snow was upon the ice. Ono beast got upon the ice and was immersed. The bellowing of the drowning beast attracted tho others to the spot, and they one by one followed to the place and were gradually im mersed by the breaking of tho ice and every one drowned.

The work of searching the ornamental water for the bodies of the persons still missing, and which there is but too much reason to believe still remain in tL•e lake, was resumed this morning. Mr. Heinke attended with two of his divers, and the spot selected for their operations was to the east of the long island, and opposite the residence of Mr. Foster. The glass early this morning gave eight degrees of frost, and coLsoquently the ice had increased in thickness and so:idity. The toil of again breaking up the surface of the lake had to be performed, but when it had to some extent been cleared of ice the boats also went out to their differen t stations. A most praisewor.hy effort is being made by Mr. King, of Great Portland- street, Mr. Joblin, of Douglas-road, and Mr. Walford, of York-terrace, to collect subscriptions to pay the poor men they have engaged to clear the ice off the water. It was stated at the inquest yes terday by Mr. Russell, from the office of the Com missioners of the Public Works, that, with the ex ception of Mr. Reinke and his divers, every person engaged in the melancholy work had up to yesterday been paid ; but this statement must simply have ap plied to the few park-keepers, police-constables, and Humane Society's men, and not to the great num ber of men engaged in the bitter cold and laborious work of dragging the masses of ice off the water to the bank. The poor fellows have worked excessively hard, and had it not been for the exertions of the gentlemen we have named above they certainly would have been unremunerated for their labour. Yesterday Mr. King engaged and paid . over ono hundred of them, giving to each 2s. for his day's work from the sum collected in trifling amounts from the spec tators on the banks of the water. To-day he has set 200 men to work, and it is to be hoped the subscrip tions will enable him to continue his humane labour. It is gratifying to know that subscriptions have com menced to flow in from quarters least expected. Last evening Mr. Douglas, the master of Mary lebone Workhouse, who has consented to act as treasurer of the fund, received £1 10s. from " A few friends at the Red Lion, Coventry," and 15s. from " so that there is a hope that while the necessity exists for the labour of the poor fellows, who otherwise would have been without employment at this inclement season, they will regularly receive their small and well-earned wages. This morning a great stir was made in the park by the appearance of a large boat, which had been strongly lashed in a cart, and a party of " under water men," headed by G. and W. Gooden, Lower Fore-street, Lambeth, 'who attended as volunteers to assist in the dragging operations. In their boat, the Patience, they brought with them a most ex tensive supply of tackle, which, it appears, they use when engaged in weighing sunken ships and barges from the bed of the river Thames, and with this they propose to " sweep" the bottom of the lake. Their boat was launched as soon as a convenient spot could be found amidst the large mounds of ice, some 12 or 13 feet high, now hourly increasing on the edge of the lake facing Sussex gardens, and steps were immediately commenced to get their apparatus into work. Before, however, the boat was pushed off Mr. King, anticipating that his subscriptions would enable him to perform his promise, regularly engaged the eight men, guaran teeing them £4 a day for the use of their boat and their own services. This arrangement put the boat entirely under the direction of Mr. King and his active committee, by which means orders were enabled to be given for the searching of particular spots hitherto undistu r b e d. The inhabi tants of the mansions facing the scene of the cala mity have in many instances acted in a most charit able manner to the poor men engaged in removing the ice. One lady, the other morning, sent no less than 18 gallons of hot coffee and brandy to the men, and in some cases the ladies came personally with their servants, loaded with warm comforts, which they distributed in the most liberal manner. The statement that all persons engaged in the work have been paid seems to have shut up this charitable supply, as this morning not a pint of anything was sent to the men--4a matter to be regretted. 'Even now there does not appear to be any recognised directing head of the operations, consequently each person does that which to him seems best, a circum stance which sometimes leads to much annoyance and difficulty. Immediately after the accident some person ought to have been sent by Government to take charge of the ice, and empowered to give the necessary directions ; a matter which would not have perhaps cost over £5OO or £6OO, an outlay no one would have regretted, but nothing of the kind has been done, and not the least assistance has been offered by those in authority, who appears to have looked upon the calamity with the utmost indifference. Mr. Russell yes erday stated that the noble lord, the First Commissioner of Works, was most anxious to render every assistance in the matter. With such an inti mation, it seems as if the old enemy, " red tape," had prevented his lordship ' s wishes being carried into execution. We have fortunately no addition to make to the list of dead, whilst t en persons pu t down as missing have returned to th e i r friends. There were a f ow s k aters an d s lid ers on po r ti ons of the i3e this morning. CORONER'S INQUEST. (Continued from our First Edition of yesterday) Alfred Ward, No. 5 Royal Humane Society, was called. He said— I am in the employ of the society whilst the f rost . continue ,. I h ave b een so employed on two P rev i ous years. P r i n t e d instruc- tions are given to all men so employed, but I am sorry to say I have not studied them as I ought to have done. Mr. Spencer was here called, and he recognised the witness as the man he had seen in the boat. Witness continued —I adthit I am the person. I was on the ice on Tuesday last. I had nothing to do with the breaking up of the ice round the island. Coroner—Did you break any ice yourself ?—The ice I broke I did with my axe about 3 o'clock. I noticed the ice was very dangerous between the small island and the shore, and was giving way. I had orders given me to keep the boat where I could within the channel between the two islands. I placed my boat between the islands; and whenever I moved it water came up. I cautioned the people off, but they took no heed. While people see a safe piece of ice they will stop and.skate. Thinking that by allowing the boat to make a water mark that would prevent the skaters going to that dangerous point. While I was sitting in the boat the gentleman (Spencer) came near m e, and I put my axe i nto the ice to endeavour to asc ert ainthe state of it. wh en I lost my I mdoyintgemsopetrh. told him to go o ff the ice and make no noise.e gentleman and I quarre ll e d and Coroner—Did you make a hole ?—No, I did not ; the hole was already made, and it was the pressure of the boat that brought the water up. About two o'clock I became alarmed as to the state of the ice, and I cautioned the people until I was quite tired. I said to them, get off as soon as you can as we shall soon have a great calamity. Coroner—You thought this at two o'clock ? Yes, I did ; the ice had given unmistakable signs of breaking up. At this time there were about 700 people on the ice. On Sunday there was scarcely any ice on the broad water. Witness continued—l believe that the men who put on the skates and brought chairs into the park to persons to sit . ,on, while they are doing so encou rage foolhardy persons to go on the ice. On Tues day the new ice was only two inches thick. I think the sun, the great attendance of people on the ice, the game of hockey, and the jumping that one of the witnesses has spoken to, combined, was the cause of the accident, and not the breaking of the ice around the edges. After the time I have mentioned the ice kept getting worse. I know nothing about the cutting the ice round the edges, further than seeing the men engaged in the work about half-past ten. I have always seen this done every winter. I thought it for the beat to remain about the long island with my boat, as I did not think the ice would last an hour. I said to our superintendent, John Green, " for God. Almighty's sake get the people off ; can't you get the police." Three girls got immersed, and I went to their assistance, and a great many persons assembled to see them got out. Haying done this I went to my boat, and before I could scarcely get in I saw the whole of the people in the water. The ice was splitting up all day into diamond-shaped pieces, about a couple of yards square, which is an unmistakable sign of giving. Coroner—Then the ice appeared to you to come all to pieces at one time ?—Yes. Coroner—You were not driving the people off, were you ?—No sir, you might as well try to move a lamp-post as to drive the people off the ie.% I advised them, which was all I could do. Witness—When the accident occurred I took the boat as speedily as possible to the assistance of the drowning. I picked up Green and three others, and Lad one hanging on the boat outside. Had we taken him in we should all have gone down, as we were nearly down to the water's edge. Having lauded the three persons we went back for more. I saw ono man, the last ou the ice, he seemed to be taking care of everybody but himself. I threw him a line, saying, "Take this old man," but it fell short. I tried again but failed. The man was, however, saved. I did not think so many had been drowned as wo now know. I think that when the ice broke it must have gone like traps over the people's heads and covered them, as, although I kept my eyes sharply open I did not see many persons go down. The ice, in my opinion, was so dan gerous that I asked some of our men whether I should put up a danger pole in my boat, but not having any ono with me, the man whom I spoke to about it said he was afraid to leave his post to get it for me, as he was so fear ful some accident might occur. The Coroner said they had now hoard the witness, and he thought they were quite in a position to judge between them. In cases like the present there would alw4s bo altercations between parties, and they could now draw their own conclusion as to the matter which had been spoken to. A Juror (to witness)—Did you tell the witness Spencer you was making a hole to let two or three people in ? No, certainly not; if so I did not mean it. He said a good many_ unpleasant things to me, and I perhaps did say something to him that he did not like. • I.lr. Lambton Young, secretary of the Royal Humane Society, read a list of the cases in which the society had been successful. He went on to state that since the re ducing the depth of water in St. James's-park no fatal case of drowning had occurred. He thought it would be of great public benefit if the ornamental water in all the public parks were reduced in depth similar to that in St. James's. The Coroner--Were 'you in the Regent's-park on Tues day ? Yes, sir, between 12 and 1. I was on the ice to see if the men were attending to their duty. I then noticed that the ico was in an unsafe state, and cautioned everybody I met with. I told the men to caution the public, but you might as well try to stem the Thames as to get people off the ice. You get both insulted and assaulted when you try to get people off the ice. The police say their orders tiro not to go on the ice. Appre hensive of an accident on the Serpentine on the night of the accident in Regent's-park, I wrote to the police au thorities, and I got 25 constables, and we had to resort to some amount of force to get the ice clear, which we could not do before ten o'clock at night. On Thursday, apprehensive of an accident, lwrote to the Home Secre tary asking for the services of 200 constables to aid me in clearing the ice on the Serpentine by six o'clock, but Mr. Walpole told me he could not grant me the request as he had no power. Coroner—Not when you told him that you were appre hensive of an accident ?—Even so. He is a very kind and good man, butas Home Secretary he said he had no power to do as I solicited. Coroner—Your society never anticipated an accident occurring of so great an extent as that on Tuesday ?—O h no, never. Coroner—l thought it but fair that such a statement should be made public, because it had been stated that-ap pliances were not at hand. The witness continued—People show the utmost con tempt for caution on the ice. They break down and smash the danger-signals when they are placed on the ice. We hang up caution-boards at the park gate inetead. The gear destroyed in the Regent's-park on Tuesday will cost £l5O to repair. Coroner —You don't mean to say the people wilfully broke your ladders and ropes ?—They broke them by sit ting and skating over them, and on Sunday one of our ice boats was broken to pieces in consequence of a number of persons getting hold of it, and pushing people across the Sarpentine at Id. a head. Coroner—But the police ought certainly to prevent such things—They have particular orders not to go upon the ice. Coroner—Do you mean to say thorn is no power to pre vent people going on the ice ? —Most certainly I say there is not. Co - ronef—Various charges have beeni . macha against the Reyal Humane Society's men—two were said to bo drunk when it occurred. That is quite untrue, because I saw the man a short time before and after the time at which it was said he was drunk. One was discharged on Wednesday for intoxication, but I am bound to say that a largo quantity of spirits has been given away by the public, but as intoxication is dismissal in the society he was at once discharged. Coroner—What suggestions have you to make to pre vent such accidents for the future ?—I should certainly recommend the reduction of the depth of the water to about five feet. I also think that the Government should make it penal for any person to go on the ice until it has been pronounced safe. It is done so in Bois de Boulogne. Coroner—They hoist a ball at New York when the ice is safe, and when the ball comes down all persons must leave. Do you think that would answer in Eng land. ? No ; I think a . bell ruhg would be better, because fog comes on. I think the Government should have the power of appointing so:uo persons to cLar the ice of skaters when it is in a dangerous condition. Until this is done there can be no security against accident. • A Juror—What amount of money do you got from the public as subscriptions ? —Last year we had about £250 in donations and subscriptions for the maintenance of all our stations, from the Noro to Oxford. A Juror—What is your opinion with respect to the ad visability of cutting the edges of the ice ? —1 would rather not answer that question, because it will put me in antago nism with the Government, but if 1 am pressed fur an answer I will give it. A Juror—l think we ought to have the answer ?—Very well, then ; I think it unadvisable to do so. It rests with the authorities of the park; the Royal Humane Society have nothing at all to do with it. Charles White, of 71, St. John's-wood-terrace, said—l loft the ice on Tuesday because I thought it was danger ous. On Monday I went up to skate, and then the Humane Society men were not over ready at rendering assistance. Mr. Charles Edwards, superintendent of Regent's-park, said—My duty is to look after all the works, and the con stable. lam appointed by the Chief Commissioner of her Majesty's Works. I have held the appointment since Jan. 1, 1853. I was not on the ice on Tuesday. On Monday I thought that portion of the lake called the broad water was unsafe, and I desired the constables to keep the people off the ice. We have no power to prevent any one from going on the ice. We have power to remove them from the park after the gates are closed. Coroner—Do you know anything about the breaking of the ice ?—I do. It has been the practice for the last twenty,years to have the ice cut round the islands; and I gave directions for it to be done on Tuesday for the use of the 'water-fowl, and to prevent persons going oh 'the islands. It has always been done, and no person has ever represented any danger from the practice. The-inhabi tants assume the privilege of breaking the ice round the edges, and I don't interfere. The ice is invariably cut in the vicinity of private property to prevent the people from going on the grounds, just aswo cut it to prevent the people from going on the island. Coroner—But the ice was cut round the edges where there is no private property.—l don't know anything about that; it was not done by my orders. I only gave directions to have the ice cut round the islands. Opinion seems to be much divided as to the practice of cutting up the ice and weakening it. The Coroner—How is the water supplied in the Re gent's-park T—ln the summer the supply is from the West Middlesex Company, and in the winter the land springs serve the purpose. We have had no fresh supply of water in the lake for the last eighteen months. The surplus water runs down the sewers. The Coroner —Was the water running off on Tuesday last?—No, it was not. Tho Coroner—Has the water been reduced since the accident ?—No, certainly not. Witness continued—lt is quite impossible to keep the people out of the park. It is a public park, and there would be groat difficulty in keeping the people out of it. If we were to shut the gates they would soon be over the pailiugs. The deepest water is that called the " Broad Water :" there we have 13 feet in some places; in other places it diminishes to four feet. I don't think there is enough mud to hold persons down. Coroner—Did you predecessor cut away the ico round the island 110 did. Coroner— Various plans have been suggested for empty ing the lake, one by means of a syphon. Do you know of any means by which it could be speedily done ? —No, I don't; it would take about a month to lower the water four feet. Mr. Burton's sewer, however, which runs under the water, would, of course, do it in the speediest manner. The water covers a surface of 18 acres. Tho Coroner—A gentleman present, Mr. Browning, says it could be run off in a day. Inspector Burrows, acting superintendent of the D divi sion of police, said in reference to Mr. Young's evidence that the police have power to apprehend people on the ice just as they have on laud if they had committed wilful damage. 1 have bean 20 years at the Regent's-park, and never recollect any application on the part of the Royal Humane Society for assistance. The police have no power to remove people from the ice. The inquiry then adjourned until Monday next. No bodies have been taken from the ornamental water to-day, and fivo out of the persons put down as missing have fortunately turned up. MARKETS.--.This day.

THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE. —Hi s R oya l Highness tke Duke of Edinburgh, attended by Lord Hard wick° and the Hun. Eliot Yorke, honoured the performance by his presence at this theatre last evening. We understand that her Majesty's Government have protested against the decision arrived at in the case of the Tornado, on account of the irregularity and infor mality of the proceedings in the Spanish Prize Court. There can be no doubt that the evidence against the Tor nado is calculated to arouse the gravest suspicions as to her ultimate destination ; and it is unfortunately only too clear that if the ship be legally condemned as a Chilian ship of war her crew may be regarded and treated as pri soners of war. Altogether the case is one of considerable complication ; but there is no reason to apprehend that the Spanish authorities will not eventually do justice in the matter.—Herald. A rumour was current in Bombay, when the last mail left, to the effect that preparations had been ordered by Lord Cranborne for an expedition to Abyssinia. Up to the present moment no information has been received in this country as to the result of Mr. Flad's and Colonel Merewether's mission to King Theodore, so that it is very improbable any such stop should have boon taken. The report is at least premature, and we caution the public against attaching any importance to it.—herald. MR. JOHN BRIGHT AND HIS WORKPEOPLE.— Mr. John Bright has again and again been charged with being unpopular with his workpeople in Rochdale, hooted from his promises, and with placardiug his mill with " No Irish need apply." The slander has been repeatedly dis proved, yet it is still reiterated even by gentlemen in holy orders. However, now the workjioople of Mr. Bright think it high time to interfere, and the other day they met in a body, and appointed a deputation to wait upon the hon. member for Birmingham to ask him to consent to receive an address from them, assuring him of their respect, and regretting the calumnies heaped upon him by various in dividuals undeservedly. !Mr. Bright consented, and the workpeople are now arranging to hold a meeting on au early day. The Italian papers state that, owing to high winds in the Adriatic, Venice has been inundated to an extent which has never boon equalled within the memory of any of the inhabitants. The Piazza of San Mark was so flooded that boats and gondolas passed over it, and the whole of the space had the appearance of a vast lake. SHOCKING ACCIDENT ON THE BLYTH AND TYNE RAILWAY.—On Saturday morning, between 6 and 7 o'clock, a man named William Clough, fireman, 19 years of age, in the service of the Blyth and Tyne Railway Company, was killed whilst at work on an engine passing along the line near Backworth. He was busy among the coke whilst the locomotive was in motion, and in passing undo► Backworth Bridge his head came in contact with the woodwork, knocking him backwards. On being picked up by the engine driver he was quite dead.—North Daily Express. MIL. GLADSTONE AND THE LIBERAL PARTY.— It is assorted that on Mr. Gladstone's return to England a conference will be held under his 'auspices between the heads of the sections comprising the Liberal party. The right hon. gentleman is expected in Paris next week, and will, in all probability, be in London before the close of this month. A NEW PLAY, BY M. ALEX. D UMAS, JUN., enti tled "Les Id6es de Madame Aubray," is in preparation at the Gymnaso. THE COUNT DE MONTALEMBERT'S HEALTH.—We regret to find, by a letter iu the Monde, that that eminent author is still far from being re-established. The Count writes—" After eight months' treatment, the doctors abandon me to nature, without giving me any definite hope as to the term of my illness. However, they say I shall be cured sooner or later, and that I shall be better in the spring, without promising me a complete recovery by that time." A LONDON STREET STATUE OF SHAKSPERE.—A gentleman of business in the City of London suggests, through the Athenzum, that a bronze statue of Shakspere should be set up on that part of the Thames Embankment fronting the Temple-gardens, and offers a premium of fifty guineas for the best design, twenty for the second, and ton for the third. As this gentleman is not connected with either literature or art, and desires a strict incognito to be preserved, the generosity of his offer will meet with gene ral admiration, and we hope to see the statue erected. THE RECENT DUELS IN FRANCE.—Lieutenant Lecca, of the Zouaves, who some time back killed M. Seguin in a duel, has been placed on the retired list.—A judicial inquiry has been commenced relative to the duel which recently took place between M. Henri de Rochfort and M. Paul de Cassagnac. LIFEBOAT SERVICE.—...kBERDOVEY, NORTH WALES, Monday.—During a heavy gale from the E.S.E. yesterday (states Mr. David Williams, of the Customs) a schooner was seen with a signal of distress fl y in g . Sho had failed to beat up the harbour against tho.gale, and was anchored close to a bank on which a heavy sea was breaking, and there was danger of her going on the bank, as her anchors t w t e a u r e a I Lifeboat dragging. I T u s h t e i tl u i f t e i e b Roy n o t and Royal B s t e e r a k m s h_ r u e g , t o h f e t r h e e u pNeau promptly put out to the assistance of the vessel. The steamer, however, having to return for a towin g hawser, went on a shoal, where she remained. The lifeboat was heartily welcomed by the schooner's crow, who were nearly exhausted with their labours. Some of the crew of the lifeboat wont on board the vessel, sot one of her sails, and took her under the lee of some sand hills which offered shelter, and there she anchored. The master desired that the lifeboat should stand by them in case their vessel should again drive, and the boat accordingly remained alone•side all night. This morning, the weather having slightly mo derated, the lifeboat assisted in bringing the schooner sa f e ly into harbour. She is the Jane Ellen of Aber -st with, bound from Noath to thi s port a cargo of culm. 3 The cost of this lifeboat was benevolently co ll ec t e d a short time since in B er k s hi re b y C apta i n Stephens of the Reading Bank, and p resen t e d t o th e N at i onal Lifeboat In stitution, and this is the first service she Las had the oppor tunity of renderin g s i nce s h e h as b oen placed en her station.

PARIS, Jan, 19, The Memorial Diplomatique of to-day publishes, the following : The recall of Photiades Bey, Turkish Ministr jr a t Athens, has been wrongly interpreted as the, pre lude to a rupture between Greece and the Porte. Photiades Bey was recalled because, bel..inging to the Greek nationality and religion, he was placed in a very delicate position.

The gratuitous and coarse attack lately made by. Mr. Bright upon Mr. Ferrand has created great in dignation among the factory operatives in Lanca shire, and they have urged him to appear among them, so that they may show Mr. Bright their opinion of his conduct, and Mr. Ferrand that they can discern their real from their pretended friends. In reply, he has addressed the following letter to their secretary : St. Ives, Bingloy, Jan. 17, 1867. I have to thank you for your letter and papers. I have read all relati❑g to the agitation now going on in Lanca shire very carefully. The state of things which I foretold for both employers and employed is taking place. Foreign competition is taking away the masters' profits, and reducing by degrees Eng lish wages to the continental level. This is a question which must now be discussed, I trust, with good feeling, by both employers and employed; it ought to be kept entirely apart from politics, so far as party influ ence and feeling are concerned. Depend upon it were I to take part in the discussions at the present timo it would give great offence to many of Lord Derby's supporters in Lancashire, and would create excitement and distrust in stead of peace and confidence. e w. FEREAND• y, ij I would ur ge upon you, and all who discuss the wage and short - time questions, to use f r i en dl y l anguage t owar d s t h e millowners.
