So much for the causes of our recent gratification. With pain we now address ourselves to one of the multitudes of instances in which what is called "Assize justice," but which would be more fairly aI nd truly termed " Squire-made statute-law," seems to go out of its way to invent cases of a sufficiently puerile and trumpery character to invest its decisions with the strongest title to the contempt and derision of the public. At a Petty Sessions in the country last week, a wretched woman, in a condition of mise rable poverty, was charged by a small farmer with the offence of having picked up, in a neighbouring wood, one whole faggot of loppings, such as at this season of the year are commonly cut and collected into bundles for consumption or sale. The husband of the woman, and another party, confirmed the ac count she gave, in the teeth of the assertion of the farmer, namely, that at the hour in which the offence alleged against her was laid as having been coin mated in the wood, she was not out of their little hut at all. That she had been in the wood that day •and collected a few little broken twigs, wherewith " to make a little fire" (iii the bitter weather of the Christ mas week) "to warm her little child," she freely admitted, protesting, however, that the twigs so picked up by her were mere windfalls or waste litter in her ,path. The magistrates, at once perceiving the vexatious nature of the charge, but bound by the enactments of the statute to proceed with the case, submitted to the prosecutor whether he would proceed with the business. He surlily replied in the affirmative—he had already lost two or three faggots. The Bench, still unwilling to be pushed to a sentence, asked him what value he set on the faggots ? His answer was, that he could sell them at the rate of 1,000 for six shillings; that is to say, three farthings, and s'anething short of the fraction of a half. The Bench, not concealing their regret at the positive language of the statute, sentenced the poor woman to some days' imprisonment. It is high time that the more modern of these laws touching petty offences against property should be carefully revised and amended. They have nothing, in the shape of legislation, to keep them in countenance, ex cept our Game-laws. They are as disproportionate in their penalties, as arbitrary in their construction of the acts of individuals, as capricious in their tyranny . , as regardless of the feelings, as hostile to the personal rights and liberties of the poor. But disgraceful as it is to the two houses of Parliament even to have sanctioned such laws, it is still more disgraceful that any branch es o f th e l an d own i ng ar i stocracy can -be found to administer them, biassed partisans in such administration as they obviously are. But the most disgraceful part of all, if possible, which is taken under them, is that of tenant-farmers who invoke them. Does the tenant-farmer, who detains, arrests, and prosecutes the wretched cottier for unknowingly committing a trespass to the value of three-farthings on unhoused property of his, lying on, or next to, a public pathway through an open wood—does he ima gine that he is more likely to secure, or to put in jeo pardy, the inviolability of that which he is so anxious to protect, and all aggressions upon which (however trivial or involuntary they may be) he is ready so vindictively to punish ? If men cannot be trusted to the dictates of their good feeling, their good sense, or their good policy, it will be well that the Legis lature step in, without loss of time, to think and make laws for them. • It is a scandal in a Christian country to see the petty vengeance lurking in a little Midas like-law Act of Parliament, debated by a dozing Committee of our House of Parliament, at two o'clock in the morning, and passed in bulk with an arrear accumulation of fifty more by the other House on the last day of the session—dart out of its dirty concealment, and, spider-like, fasten on the first most helpless and friendless, most desolate and feeble victim, that unconsciously strays within its treache rous meshes ! TitERMOMETER, Lowest, 33 ; Highest, 41 ; Noon, 41. his party. He has spoken a great deal bec4me those who pushed him forward Chose to he quiet, M. Billault, therefore, represents a party which, for four years, is in a permanent minority in the Chambers and in the coun try : he represents opinions which have been contemned in the loudest manner on all the occasions that they have been put forward, and which has prevented, to the utmost of its pDwer, the re-establisinent of order at home, and of peace abroad." BeitoNETER, 30.1.-WIND, N.E. NorE.—The figures which follow the words "Lowest" and " Highest" denote the lowest and highest state of the Thermometer during the preceding twenty-four hours. All the other observations are made at noon. Water freezes at 32 ; 55 on Thermometers is marked "Temperate," and on Barometers "Fair" is generally placed opposite to 30, and Rain" at 29 ; but there is no certainty of dry weather when the mercury falls below 30. The Constitutionn . el is in eestaties at what it'con siders as a severe check to the Ministry. It says— " To convince oneself of that, it is only necessary to compare the votes of this year with those of last. The 29th December, 1843, two ballots were sufficient for the Vice-Presidents. The whole four were of the Conser vative party. Among them M. de Salvaudy and M. Lepellitier d'Aulnay represented to a less degree than they do to day the hesitations of the majority. M. Bil lault, who next to those elected had the greatest number of votes, was still below them 43 votes on the first ballot, and 31 on the second. This year twe candidates only on the Conservative lists have been elected. We will not remind our readers that the first of these, M. Bignon, has on more than ono occasion caused a great deal of displeasure to the Ministry by his reports on the budget ; we will not say that the other, M. de &handy, preserves a predilection for another Cabinet, but that he certainly was not the candidate which the most devoted friends of the Ministry would choose. It is sufficient to say that M. Dufaure, the Opposition candidate, was elected on the first ballot, and that M. Billault obtained on the second ballot five votes more than his opponent, M. de Belleyme. Six more votes in the first ballot, and four in the second, would have secured the election of M. Billault." HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAT. r Ind ... 0 minutes after 6 Evening... 49 minutes after The ballot of Monday is looked forward to witl great interest. There have been several extensive failures, on the Paris Bourse. On this subject the Commerce has the following paragraph : "The Bourse is at this moment a prey to great anxiety. It is known that one of the capitalists Nho frequent it has failed to the amount of 700,000 francs. It is to be feared that this is but the beginning of other disasters when the impending settlement takes place. Th© cause of this commotion is the great rise that has occurred in the public funds after the adjudication of the loan. Bitter complaints are made against the power ful banker who rules the market, and who is the author of all these misfortunes. It is he, say they it the Bourse, on every side, who had weighed on the funds, and kept them down at low prices until lately: it is he who, to prevent a rise which would naturally have taken place, declared to all he spoke to that he never would offer to take the loan at a high price; it is he who, afterwards, gave such an impulse to the funds that they reached three francs after the adjudication of the loan. It is not our province to take up the cause of speculators imprudent enough to struggle with such an ascendancy; but these vicissitudes, and their ruin ous consequences, fall upon trade, and react upon its transactions. Is it not deplorable that the (euvern tnent should, by its complaisances and its concessions of every description, have suffered an influence to arise powerful enough thus to keep public credit under its dependence, to stop and make it recede one day, and give it an impulse on the next." The Journal des Debats rather conspicuously an nounces that Admiral Du PETIT TILOUARS has arrived at Brest in the Reine Blanche frigate, and that he has immediately repaired to Paris. He had been expected to land at Cherbourg, where the Nfitional Guard intended to present him with a crown of lAurels. The Oppositi on pr i n t s state t h at the Ministers' having become acquainted with the intention of the Cher bouriens, M. de Macicau, the Minister of Marine, dispatched positive orders to Admiral IiUPETIT Tnousas to land at Brest, and not at Cherbourg. N On board th e R e i ne Bl anc h e came to France the eapolitan P r i nce AQ un—& and his bride (the Prin cess JAN UARIA of the Brazils). Admiral DUPETIT Tliouens arrived in Paris on Sunday, and immedi ately visited the Minister of Marine. The Reme Blanche sailed from Rio on 24th October. HINTS TO HOUSEKEEPERS.-At this festive season housekeepers should be on their guard against the depredations of persons going about under the guise of seeking for situations, but really with the inten tion of stealing whatever they can readily lay their hands on. Instances of this nature have come to Our knowledge, where articles have been missed when the stranger had departed. On leaving the hall, it frequently happens that great coats or um brellas left there are stolen, and the loss is not dis covered till too late. The only remedy appears to be to watch the place-hunters, until they are fairly " out of soundings," for they are a very crafty and piratical crew. ANTICIPATED BREVET.—The report of an early brevet daily gains ground ; indeed, when we look over the army and navy lists, and recollect the ages of the superior officers in either service, it becomes evident that we need some younger men to be raised to the higher ranks in both. In the navy, as we remarked last weak, there are scarcely five men under sixty years of age among the first fifty .on the list of captains ; and the greateepart of this humber, it has beettshown to us, are 'abode sixty-Ave. the same, we believe., may be said of the nett Aft .y. on the list ; - thus,,it eiiist"be manifest that the next promotion of flag officers, whenever it may take place, will, astwi 1810, e'hav which hearde will isth i ! be lla j t u e s n t ti f o w n r , ty l . n i c h l rv ud e e: the captains o even thit does not-leo-lower ;• and this number, termer _precedents, logethet , -, with the ' death Of so many . ed mirele(fifty, we,thitkeince the last br evet , w ill f u ll y, authorise its being extended to. In January, 1837, the nentber of. senteins pPinot•eo_,, ,AGO rearsadrairals was• 70 ; in June, 1838, 20 ; in _November, 1841, 41. Hericeiteftspwarde : 44-Ahree yezerhoOleve now elapsed since:tfigliket promiitiOn; we have,akeeff)reason te.expect that the number of captains to she istemoted to' he flag officers will at least amouretii. forty-three, even it it does not equal the number that have died since 'the pre: vious brevet. We might' further remark, in support of the necessity of making ~_the promotion o f flag o ff i cers thus extensive, that ou,ea_the first fifty captains on the list we have been informed that there are scarcely ten who have commanded seit-going ships for any period of time during the last twenty-five years and upwards; and that, moreover, out of the first two hundred there are full one hundred and fifty who stand in the same situa tion. Thus, with every sense of the gallantry and for mer professional reputation of these officers, we humbly think that after being from twenty five to thirty years on shore, they would not desire to be again brought into active employment at sea, where everything would ap pear so changed as to make their duties irksome and un pleasant to themselves, and seriously inconvenient to the public service.—Navel and Military Gazette. - ANoTUER POLAR ExPEDITioN.—It is contemplate' by Government to send out another ex p e di t i on - to th e Arctic regions, with the view of discovering the norts west passage between the Atlantic and Pacific ; and tle Council of the Royal Society, having been solicited to give their opinion as to the desirableness of such an et pedition, have stated that, independent of the great ohject to be attained, the benefits that would accrue to - the sciences of geography and terrestrial magnetism render such an expedition peculiarly desirable. The command of the expedition, we understand, has been of fered to Sir James Ross ; should that officer decline, it will fall upon Sir John Franklin.—Hampshir e Telegraph. SOUTII-WESTERN RAILWAT.—The proposed exten sion of this railway through the parish of Lambeth and junction with•the London and Dover and South-Eastern Railways will meet with considerable opposition from the owners of estates and property in and adjoining the pro posed line, who consider that it will materially affect th e value of their property in the immediate neighbourhood. It is in contemplation to call a public meeting of the owners of property and those persons whose interests will be: affected by the proposed junction, and who dissent from its being carried into effect. Already a number of owners have formed a society, and appointed a solicitor to conduct their opposition. GREAT PEDESTRIAN MATCH IN AMERICA, F6* TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARB.—The great pedestrian match between the English and American runners, for 1,200 dollars, came off on the 19th ult., on the Beacon' Course, at Hoboken, opposite New York, and attracted an - immense assemblage of spectators. The competitors were John Barlow and Thos. Greenhalgh, two Englishmen, na tives of Lancashire; Thomas M'Cabe, an Irishman; John Steeprock, an Indian; John Underhill and Thomas Jack - - . son, Americans; John Gildersleeve and .Joseph Smith, of New York ; and J. P. Taylor, of Connecticut. The distance to be performed was ten miles, over grouu extremely heavy, from the rain of the previous even— ing. The betting was decidedly in favour •of Bee., low and Greenhalgh, who had obtained considerable, reputation in this country as pedestrians, and also_ from their having carried off prizes at a former trial of speed over the same course. After the arrangement of the usual preliminaries the start took place, the twq, Englishmen leading at a tremendous pace, closely fob• lowed by the Indian and Gildersleeve. Barlow accom plished the first mile in the abort space of 5 minutes 10 seconds, the Indian being second, and Gildersleeve and Greenhalgh third and fourth ; behind them; M'Cabe and Taylor, and the rest " nowhere." Barlow mains' tained his position in the second mile, which he ran' in 5 minutes lb seconds, the Indian well up, and Gil dersleeve and Greenhalgh as before. Barlow did die third mile in 5 min. 22 sec., and was now 50 yards ahead of the Indian, Gildersleeve and Greenhalgh being still , third and fourth. Barlow from this mile kept increasing the distance between him and the other competitors. 111 closed the fourth mile in 5 min. 25 sec. ; fifth mile, 5 min. 28 sec. ; sixth mile, 5 min. 31 sec. ; seventh mile, 5 min. 34 sec. ; eighth mile, 5 min. 36 sec. ; ninth mile, 5 min. 35 sec. ; and the last mile, 5 min. 23 sec. ; thus accomplishing the ten miles in the RlP precedented short time of 54 min. 21 sec. Steeprock,. the. Indian, was second ; time 54 min. 53 sec. Green e , halgh third ; time, 55 min. 10 sec. Gildersleeve fodrth ; time, 55 min. 51 sec: M'Cabe fifth ; time, 56 min. 52 sec. Taylor sixth ; time, 59 min. 52 sec. In the Jag' mile, Greenhalgh made a most desperate effort, passe& Gildersleeve, and gained forty seconds on ;Barlq.,' though the latter ran this mile ten secon4-qui, Madrid journals of the 23d have been received. M. Mewrusiez DB LA RosA presented on that day to the Senate a Bill for carrying into effect the treaty con cluded with Great Britain in 1835, for the suppres sion of the slave trade. This Bill renders offences connected with the slave trade penal. The discussion on the Clergy Dotation Bill was resumed in Ells .girnber of Deputies. It was decided by 78 to 41- diat the amendments of the MtueqUis-Irtm.usfA and ethers should be considered, not tle atnendm - ents, ,as distinct projects of law. A"PrptOsition by l M.' REINOSA, to refer them to a Cotiunittee, was rejected, And the Chaluber, adjourned for, .. the .holidays. The. example of the Marquis de VILLUMA had been fol lowed by 17 Deputies, who lad resigned . theirlgats. It would appear that the sons of Don FaANcisco, DE PAULA are the destined husbands of the QUEEN and her sister. Although the Queen-Mother advo cates the marriage of the QUEEN with Count 'IBA.. PANI, that event is stated to be no longer probable. The Paris papers of Sunday have arrived, and from them it would appear that a Ministerial crisis is at hard in France. Not only do the Opposition journals treat the result of the Saturday's election for Vice-Presidents of the Chamber of Deputies as a triumph, but the Ministerial papers all but acknow ledge it as a defeat. On the first ballot, as we stated yesterday, M. SALYANDY, M. 13InNox, and M. Du- Fauns, were elected three of the Vice-Presidents, and as neither of the other candidates had an absolute majority a new ballot took place for the fourth. On the second ballot taking place M. BILLAULT, the Op position candidate, obtained 150 votes, while M. DE BELLEYME, the Ministerialist, obtained only 145. The number of voters being 307, and the absolute majority required 154, another ballot between the two last-named gentl emen was a dj ourned to Monday.' It is considered th a t M. G UIZOT was only saved from absolute . defeit on this occasion by the adjournment of the ballot to Monday. There is, to speak, in English Parliamentary slang, " a smart whip " for that day. According to the Constitutiohnel, Ministers sent off couriers in the course of the even ing -I to require the attendance at the ballot of Monday of all the Deputies on whose fidelity they could reckon. In the meantime the check of Saturday was pro ducing its usual effects. There were various rumours of ratting, and although there is little doubt but that the Ministry succeeded in defeating M. BILLAULT on Monday, yet, still their tenure of office must be con sidered as rather precarious, and it is not improbable that they may be defeated on the first great trial of strength. As one of the signs of the times, it may be mentioned that Count MOLE, who has hitherto afforded M. GUIZoT a sort of sullen support, has now openly declared against him. He is stated to have said, openly, at the Chamber of Deputies, that " at no period since 1830 had the dynasty of July received so severe a rebuff as at the royal sitting of Thursday, and that the only person who was the cause of it was M. Gm(); the most unpopular man in France." In the Chamber of Peers, too, on the same day, Count MOLE made a violent attack on the Go vernment respecting its policy in general, but expressly with regard to Morocco. The part taken by Count MOLE is the more signifi cant, as it may be considered in some measure indicative of the feelings of the KING, who is said to have felt severely the coldness of his reception by the Chamber, and to have ascribed this negative unpopularity to his protection of M. GUIZOT. The following extract from the Journal des Debats shows the disappointment and alarm of the Minister's friends at the result of the ballot of Saturday : " We will net affect to disguise our regret at this result. Without any doubt it would have been better if the majority were not divided, and did not give the Opposition reason to doubt the union of the Conservative party, and the hopes which, however, we have no fear of seeing realised. We have no fears as to the result of the scrutiny which will take place on Monday ; but we think it necessary to put the majority on their guard. Hitherto the evil done is not great. M. Dufaure, in almost all great questions, has voted with the Ministry, and has already been a Vice-President of the present Chamber—that is to say, of the Chamber which has always supported the present Ministry. We may, therefore, consider the no mination of M. Dufaure as a homage paid to his personal character, and to his incontestible merits. But the no mination of M. Billault would have quite another signi fication. Let the Ministerial party not deceive itself. If in nominating M. Dufanre it has to a certain point remained faithful to the line of policy it has always fol-' lowed, in• naming M. Billault it would contradict that policy,' and would be making the antinde for all the vtites it has given for the last three years. M. Billault's posi tion in the House does not make his /I"Oraination neces sary. His loquacity, whieh is sufficiently elegant, has become eloquence only from the silence of the leaders of &vale than - he did the ninth, Greenhalgh, it is supposed: must have run this mile in about 4 min. 48 sec: Bar r low beat the Indian exactly 173 yards, while Greenhalil was less than ninety yards behind him. It is supposed that had Greenhalgh made his running in the ninth mile, instead of waiting for Gildersleeve, he would have beat the Indian, and thus become entitled to the second prize. :The purse was thus divided :—Barlow, 700 dollars ; Steeprock, 250 dollars ; Greenhalgh, 150 dollari • Gil 'dersleeve, 75 d o llars ; and M'Cabe, 25 dollars. Barlow has since returned to England, leaving Greenhalgh be. hind to complete ogrile matcher) he had undertaken. i i t THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNIN6, JANUARY 1, 1845 MONEY AN!)

There are no late arrivals to-day. We are informed, in reference to our remarks upon the new and expeditious mode of landing fruit cargoes, intended for London, at the port of Southampton, that the Railway Company has manifested decided indif ference to the interests of its proprietors, as, in order to command the advantage of having fruit cargoes dis charged at Southampton, proper carriages for their con veyance were promised, and although thousands of pounds have been voted since for other purposes con llected with the dock and railway, not a single carriage 'has been built for this service ; the consequence of which has been, that the sales of two important cargoes, adver vertised by Keeling and Co. on the 24th instant, were completely frustrated by detention on the railway. and great damage to the fruit was likewise occasioned by the want of proper conveyance from the ter minus to Monument-yard. This has entailed a severe loss to the importers, who, naturally indignant at pro mises been made and not fulfilled, decline availing them selves again of this mode of conveyance. until the Rail way Directors put themselves in a position to carry out the promises earnestly made, to afford every facility for this now important branch of trade. We may safely leave the matter, it is to be hoped. to that universal monitor—self-interest ; for undoubtedly the Directors must see that they are nipping in the bud a new source of profit to the railway .The Funds have been rather flat again this morning, Consols realising 100 k to 1001 only, and with but a limited business doing.

Ant LONDON, WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 1, 1845 It was last we :.k our Flo tsant dutylto advert to till pacific and dignified speech of a Constitutional Kis( to the legislative representation of the great monarch 3 he governs. To-day we cannot forbear from touch ing on the contrasted topics suggested by our further examination of the advices from Madrid, and the rumoured discovery of a serious " plot"—so called— in Poland against the usurped authority of Russia over that much wronged-kingdom. The distractions of Spain, and the disquietudes of Poland, are well calculated to read a memorable lesson to factious slaves on the one hand, and stern and relentless tyrants on the other. Spain, unlike France, has a feeble SOVEREIGN, "constitutional" only by a title which can never be applied to her except in the utmost excess of courtier-like flattery, or in the license of the most sarcastic mockery. Poland has been, and should be now, like France—a great monarchy : but she has never possessed an efficient legislative representation, through which to address, advise, or control her KING. Poland has little in common with Spain, in the nature of historical asso ciations, except it be to have been paralyzed by the personal weaknesses and vices of many had kings. But, whilst the Spanish kings, from Prime IL to FERDINAND VII., were, in effect, absolute, the Polish Sovereigns, from SIGISMUND I. to STANISLAU S AUGUSTUS, were kept, more or less stringently, in check by their tumultuous Diets, their military Nobles, and their Bishop-Princes. When they fell at last, lamented victims of Imperial and loyal treachery by the Partition Treaty, they witnessed at least the agonized repentance of those infatuated oligarchs, who, to compass the objects of their own ambition or enmities, had placed the destroying weapons in the hands of their unprincipled de spoilers. Spain, with all the palmy recollec tions of her more than Imperial grandeur about her—of the laurelled days when she was mis tress of all the kingdoms of the Peninsula, Por tugal included—when her sceptre was extended over the provinces of Holland and the Low Countries, and Naples, and made itself felt through some of the other principal States of Italy—when she assumed and exercised the proud title of " Queen of the Indies," as well in the richest countries .of the great Eastern Archipelago, as throughout her vast dominions of Mexico, Chili, and Peru ;—this Spain is now pros trated in the most sordid dust which was ever trodden by the foot of an iron despotism, not before a con spiracy of mighty kings—not before a confederacy of king. like palatines, the natives of her soil—but before an obscure foreign adventurer, a heartless, callous, intriguing, unprincipled, faithless soldier of fortune ! The descendants of PELAGIO and the CID, of SAA VEDRA and of CORTEZ, at this moment hold their per sonal liberty, their property, their right to reside upon their natal territory, their very lives, even, at the good pleasure of such a creature of factions and of falsehoods as NARVAEZ ! Their best and noblest blood is profusely shed upon the public scaffold, for no graver offence than demurring to the pro fligate government of the domestic minions, or political favourites, paramount in a Court which rejoices in the august auspices of the quasi widow of FERDINAND VII., and those ready struments of all sorts of political corruption, %;horo French gold, French intriguei, and her own passions, or prepossessions, unscrupulously employ for ends the, most subversive of tnattConstitutiam and ties, which they, equilly Ntith herstilf, have heretofore sworn to maintain inviolate. Strange coincidence ! In one' and the same May, we have news from Wart , aw and Madrid than either capital has just been the theatre of a newly-made dis:overy. A plot in each, it seems, had been ()Cgsi nised against the de facto authority under which it groans. If the Polish affair sh4:uld determ;ne in teaching to the Emperor IsTicuoLas the salutary lesson that an outraged people is an inextinguishable volcano—that the fires excited by the intolerable action of foreign rapacity and bloodthirstiness may smoulder for a time, hut never can be quenched, until after they have burst forth in overwhelming fury to consume all whose alien hands have supplied the materials of such combustion—we should think the Polish affair a fortunate one for her own interests and those of Continental Europe at large. Spoliators on a great scale are to be admonished only hy " ter rible examples." It seems a hopeless task to remon strate with the AUTOCRAT by petitions ut right or pleas ad misericordiam, or arguments " ad verecun diam." The affair to which we refer, slightly as i! is noticed in the private correspon dence, on the authority of which it has been announced, may yet have its revelations ; and these, we are fain to hope, may not be altogether fruitless of better influences on the moody mind of the CZAR. But, alas ! fur the luckless Spaniards, who may be discovered, unintimidated by the past, and yet hopeful of the future, to have been engaged in organising new efforts to emancipate their country from its shameful thraldom. The long-enduring tolerance of such powerful Governments as those of Britain and France must have ere now allayed in the breast of NARVAEZ every tendency to a condition of doubt or apprehension as to the consequences which his brutal administration of power may bring down, from without, on his own head. He has the patronage of CHRISTINA and her French connexion at his back—the forbearance cf . the English Ministry before him—the inconceivable apathy and patience of the Spanish public on all hands—to encourage and cheer him on in his work of;proscription and decimation. Such a man will not be taught. The adventurer, in the sense of a popular proverb, is mounted, much to his own astonishment, we doubt not ; and he will speedily reach his destination, we trust, much to the satisfaction of all god men. We cannot refer to the police and assize intelli gence in the last week's file of our journal, without mingled feelings of gratification and of shame. Gra tified in the highest degree we have indeed been at the concurrent testimony of all the Metropolitan Police jurisdictions to the important moral improve ment in the habits of the poorer classes, which must be inferred from the almost total absence of night charges arising out of that inebriety and riotous bearing that have long been considered the certain accompaniments of the Christmas festival. Nor has our satisfaction been less in its intensity or its purity at the noble responses which in so many parts of the kingdom have been made by the wealthy and en nobled to those urgent appeals to their Christian charity and benevolence which the Press has, at this period of privation, suffering, and distress, been strenuously preferring on behalf of the scores of thousands among our more destitute and friendless fellow-creatures, whose title to the consideration and pity of their more fortunate brethren is founded on the triple ground of community of country, religion, and institutions. In the midst of their domestic misery, in their social degradation, under the grind ing pressure of their wants, they have respected these sacred ties with a patience, a constancy, a good faith, a forbearance such as we solemnly believe have never been rivalled in the case of the poorer and humbler communities of any other European King , dom. The possessors of that property which, gene rally speaking, has been so sacredly respected under grievous temptations and-desperate distress, demon strate by such timely donations and such extensive hospitalities as we have had to record within the last three or four days, at once their good feeling and their good sense. There is a kindliness, a charity to be exercised, beyond the compulsory demands of the law for the suAentation of the parochial poor. On HAMBURGII MAIL.

DANTZIC, DEC. 16.—1 t has been resolved very strongly to fortify the Vistula at Neufahr, and the ' erection of a fort will shortly commence. The making out of the plan for this fort is already com menced, the plan having been approved by the King. These works will be the key of the fortifications of Danz c, Pillau, and Konigsburg, and protect the whole of the fertile country about Danzic against an army. An attack on Danzic by gun-boats cannot stand, if to the works a flotilla of fiat-bottomed iron gun-boats on the staff is added. GIESSEN, DEC. 18.—The whole town is in a state of fermentation, on account of an event which is quite unparalleled among us. At the beginning of this month the wife of William Nagel, a locksmith, was delivered of a son. At the incessant representation of the Rev. M. rfartnagcl, the locksmith, before he married, in February this year, was induced to say (his wife is a Roman Catholic) that his children should be brought up in the Roman Catholic religion. As a means of compelling him to this declaration, Nagel, who hoped to contract an advantageous mar riage, says that M. Hartnagel assured him that he would not give his absolution if the promise to bring up the children in the Roman Catholic religion were not fulfilled. The wife, who was delivered in the beginning of this month, agreed with her husband that the child should be brought up in the Protestant religion, but no ar rangement had yet been made. On the 4th inst. M. Hartnagel came to the smith's house, and vehemently urged the wife that she would have to pay a penalty of five dollars if the child were baptised by a Pro testant clergyman. He sent for the husband from his shop, and urged him to the same effect. He re plied that the child should be baptised, but that it did not suit him to-day—that nothing was ready, and that he had to go out on business. He accordingly withdraw. Returning in an hour, he learned that M. Hartnagel, in his absence, without his consent, and in spite of the tears of his wife, who objected, had actually baptised his child, making a student in the Gymnasium stand godfather. Universal indignation prevails here, and it is much regretted that the civil authorities have not interfered. We are very tolerant in Giessen. However, everything has an end, and if matters go on in this manner, some mischief will occur.—Hamburgh Papers, Dec. 27. FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, DEC. 28.—Their Majesties the Ki ng and Queen will leave Paris on the 30th, and arrive at 13russels on the following day. Count Dietrichstein, the Austrian Ambassador to the Court of London, who leaves Brussels to-morrow, intended to make a longer stay here, but has been obliged to hasten his departure, because he has received notice that her Majesty the Queen of England would receive the new Austrian Ambassador on Monday next, for the presentation of his credentials. At the commencement of the sitting of the Senate to-day Viscount Milley read a report on the project of law relative to the treaty with the Zollverein. The Committee, of which he is the organ, adopts unani mously this project of law, the discussion of which is fixed for Monday. The Senate then proceeded to the discussion of the articles of the project of law re lative to the provisional credit of seven millions of francs for the war department. After some obser vations of the Count de Ribeancourt on the pro motions in the army, which he considers as too numerous, the credit was voted by 29 to 1. The Senate then passed to the disc uss i on of some other projects of law, all which were unanimously agreed to ; one of them related to the contingent of the army, which is fi,..ed at 80,000 men. TURKISH FRONTIERS, Day. 12.—We learn from Bucharest that the Hospodar has given his consent to the marriage of his eldest daughter to the son of the President of the Divan of IVallaehia, Alexander Philippesca, as it was believed by the public that the young Princess was intended for a son of the Hos podar of Moldavia. The reports respecting the ob ject of the meeting of the Princes at Fockshorn have gained ground. It was said that the two Princes in tended to meet at Fockshorn with a Russia n envoy, to deliberate on the necessity of a thorough reform of the existing organic statute of Wallachia, or at least on the introduction of some new institution, by which the defects of that statute might be amended.—All ge . meine Zeitung, Dec. 26.

A public meeting of the Regent street district branch of this Association was held on Monday.even ing, December 30, at Lloyd's Rooms, Regent-quadrant, when interesting information, relative to the progress of the " early closing" movement was detailed, and the evils resulting from the present protracted hour's of business in shops were forcibly depicted by the several speakers, who clearly proved that the present system was the great barrier to the assistant-draper rising in the social,. moral, and intellectual scale. Public feeling was stated to be getting unanimous in favour of the change sought for, and the efforts of the Association were begin►.ning to be felt, in convincing all that evening shoppers were now the sole cause and support of the " late hour system," as the em ployers, as a body, were most desirou3 to grant reasonable hours to their young men. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. 27, Berners-street, Dec. 30. Mrs. Rainforth presents her respectful compliments to the editor of The Sun, and will feel extremely obliged by the insertion of the accompanying copy of a letter addressed by her to the editor of the Observer : " TO THE EDITOR OF THE OBSERVER. " Sir,—My attention has been directed to a paragraph in your paper of yesterday, announcing the marriage of Miss( Rainforth. As the mother of that young lady, I request that you will, in your paper of Sunday next, give the most unqualified contradiction to such a gross fabri cation.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, " ELIZABETH W. RAINFORTIL " 27, Berners-street, Dec. 30." CHARITABLE DONATIONS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUP. SIR,—In your account of Charitable Donations for Christmas, you have noticed Sir John Bayley's name, the M.P. for the city of Worcester, as giving relief to two thousand persons, in beef, warm clothing, &c. beg leave to say it is an error: there was some beef given, and likewise bread, to about 500 persons, but those were mostly to such persons as had voted for him, but as to clothing nothing has been heard of it. I understand Sir T. Wilde has sent 2001. to be given generally for charitable purposes. You will pleaset notice the same in your next.—Yours, respectfully, C. KNOWLES. Worcester, Dec. 31, 1844. WINTER ASSIZES. TO THE EDITOI? OF THE SUN. SlR,—Some of the past Assize Grano Jury, have put out a feeler against continuing a winter commission. If it be somewhat inconvenient for the gentry of the " grand inquest" to attend a winter assize, a very easy relief may be found fur them by abolishing the grand jury system, and, sure, I am, that the public would re joice at it. I expected the gentry of the grand inquest would find fault (though their duty is by far less than the petty jury), and also expected that, "my Lords Judges,' the " high sheriff," and the gentlemen of the " long robe," would put their shoulders to the 'heel, and assist in raising a prejudice against so desirable a thing as a winter gaol delivery.
