The slight fall of snow which took place during Sun day night did not lave any material effect in diminish ing the severity of the frost which had preciously existed. At seven o'clock on Monday morning the mercury in the thermometer at the Receiving-house, Hyde-park, stood as low as 24 ; at noon it had reached 27 degrees, and varied throughout the afternoon from that point to 29} up to six o'clock, when it rose to 32, the freezing point. The wind throughout the day continued blowing, though not severely, from the N.N.E. The Parks were, from an early hour, again thronged by respectably-dressed people. The ice on the Serpen tine and the round pond of Kensington-gardens had, in consequence of the continued frost during the night of Sunday, considerably improved in condition, but still in many parts it was exceedingly dangerous, and in no few instances were the services of the icemen called into re quisition. With the exception of several immersions, no accident of anything like a serious character occurred. It is computed that from 3,000 to 10,000 persons must have been on the Serpentine during the day. In the Regent's Park, although the snow which fell during the previous night rendered the surface of the ice on the ornamental waters, through its adhesion to it during the earlier part of the day, exceedingly dangerous, still the ice itself was found in excellent condition, and upwards of two inches and a half in thickness. Through out the day this place was visited by several thousand persons. The only casualty which occurred was to a young gentleman, named Bingham, a medical student, residing in Maids. Vale, Edgware-road, who, coming in violent collision with a gentleman who was skating in an opposite direction. was thrown down and received a severe fracture of the right thigh. Being in company with several friends, a cab was procured, and he was at once conveyed to his residence. Although the members of the Skating Club have not yet pitched their tent in this Park, a number of its members were observed, during the day, enjoying this healthful recreation. The spot selected by them was not, as usual, facing Sussex terrace, but in the more secluded part of the ornamental water, near the Marquis of Hertford's villa. The number of persona on the lake of St. James's Park was limited, in consequence of the extreme in security of the ice ir. many places, owing to breakages made therein for the aquatic birds, and also on account of the accitlent which had taken place on Sunday. It is now feart d that several persons were on that occa sion drowned. During the day the Humane Society's men have been employed in dragging, and what con firms this belief is, that three or four hats have been found, and the reporter was informed that one of them had been identified by a female as belonging to her son, who bad not been home since he went out on Sunday afternoon. Up to seven o'clock on Monday evening, how , ever, no bodias had bean found. TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. WHITEHALL, Dec. 4, 1844.

LEAMINGTON, MONDAY EVENING.—To-day this ' line, connecting Coventry, Kenilworth, Leamington, and Warwick, by means of the London and Birming ham Railway, with the metropolis, was opened. The line is about nine miles long, and 1.20 from town, being within four hcurs' journey of the metropolis. It has been constructed under the superintendence of Mr. Robert Stephenson, is what is technically called a single line, has cost 170,0001., and has taken 18 months to complete. On Monday last the Directors of the London and Birmingham made an experimental trip over it, accompanied by Major-General Pasley, the Government Inspector of Railways, starting by the six o'clock, a.m., train from London, and after exa mining the most important points upon the line, reached Leamington at twelve, and partook of a cold collation. They returned by special train to town, General Pasley expressing himself highly satisfied with the works and general engineering. One of the main advantages of this extension will be the facilities it will confer on the inhabitants of the southern dis tricts of Warwickshire for the economical supply of coals. The line is of a singular construction, being a continued series of ascents and descents, form ing an undulating surface from terminus to terminus. Kenilworth, the only station between Coventry and Leamington, is five miles from the former, and three and three-quarters from the latter, is situated on the outskirts of the town, and within a stone's throw of the castle. It is built of Kenilworth stone. The Leamington station is ele gantly constructed in the Roman Doric style, and is situate in the main road between Leamington and Warwick, at a place called Emscott, in the parish of Millverton. A continued series of cuttings and embankments occur throughout the distance. The branch diverges, by a sharp curve, out of the main line at Coventry, and preserves an undulatory course to Leamington, a perpetual impetus being kept up between the ascents and descents. One of the prin. cipal works is that of the Milburn viaduct, prettily situated in the centre of a valley, and composed of seventeen arches of red brick faced with stone. Then follows a timber bridge of fifty feet span, uniting the roads of Leek-Wootton, Hill-Wootton, and Stoneleigh, with Guy's Cliffe—so named after the celebrated Earl of Warwick. The Avon viaduct, a beautiful structure, is composed of nine arches o sixty feet span, in the neighbourhood of the pro perty of the Hon. B. Percy. The Leamington sta tion is somewhat inconveniently placed at a dis tance of one mile from both Leamington and Warwick, and the fact of its being only a single line is probably attributable to the extortionate demands on the Company for land, which in some instances had to he purchased at 7001. and 800/. per acre. The principal part of the line runs through the estate of the Earl of Warwick and Lord Leigh, the latter of whom has had the family escut cheon engraved in very beautiful style in large granite characters in the front of one of the bridges. The first train to-day started from the Leamington station at twenty minutes past eight in the morning, its departure being witnessed by a large proportion of the population of the town, who continued during the day to throng the various avenues to the line, await ing the arrival and departure of the trains, which performed the distance (nine miles) in between eighteeen and twenty minutes. The event was cele brated by a public dinner of the inhabitants at the Regent, the principal hotel in the town, where about 100 gentlemen sat down to a sumptuous dinner pre pared by Messrs. Breach and Je ff ry. Captain Mus grove, R.N., took the chair, supported by Dr. Jephson, Hon. Colonel Cathcart, Hon. W. Somer ville, Dr. Middleton, Rev. H. Harper, Captain Mor gan, Mr. Hanbury, Mr. Drinkwater, and several of the fashionable residents. Formerly the distance between Coventry and Leamington occupied about an hour and a half ; by - rail tbedistsace will be dose eighteen minutes. COMMON SENSE. Common sense is the best of all sense, and it is ne small recommendation of the principles of free trade that they have been described by the Secretary of the Home Department as those of " common sense." The principles of monopoly, and the practices of monopoly, are, therefore, opposed to common sense. Common sense means that which every body, in their straightforward course of life, would act upon, If there he one road hilly and circuitous, another straight and level, common sense would lead the tra veller to take the latter in preference to the former.- We universally prefer good articles to bad ones, cheap articles to dear ones; common sense prompts us to this. Hence it is, sophisticated as we please, that we cannot resist the conclusion that free trade, which means buying good instead of bad, cheap instead of dear articles, is "common sense." Common sense, again, may be considered as that which guides the every-day actions of the mass of the people. " Where is the cheapest shop for potatoes r " Where do you get the best flour, and most for money ?" I al ways get best served with tea awl coffee at such a place." Peter so-and-so kills capital meat, and sells it lower than any body in the row."' These are the expressions of common sense, and de velop its workings among the people at large. Why should we depart from these in national matters ? Why should we buy in the dearest market, and sell in the cheapest? Is there any common sense, or any other sort of sense, in placing a barrier in the way of those who would bring us plenty of the best food, and at a much lower price than we at present give ? Is there any sense in saying to the nations, " We will not sell you our cloth ing; we will not allow you to employ our people, be cause you can only pay us in food, though it be the article of all others we want most We do occasionally hear of exclusive dealing, but it is deprecated by all persons of good sense or good principles. Monopolists' notions, however, are all on the exclusive dealing principle. England says to America, we could do well with your flour, your hams, and your cheese ; but we have a grudge against you, and we will punish out. own people in order to punish you. Every monopolist nation makes enemies instead of friends, and thus violates the great. principle of common sense. Exclusive deal ing on one side begets exclusive dealing on the other, and hence arise feuds, and wars, and bloodshed. Peace is common sense, and free tr ade leads to peace. —The Struggle. WELSH OYSI ENS. SWANSEA, DEC. 6.—Some months ago we di rected public attention to the systematic devastations committed by persons coming from various parts of the English coast to take oysters from the fisheries at this district at improper seasons of the year. We then expressed our hope that Members of Par liament, and others influentially connected with the district, would exert themselves in endeavouring to obtain some stringent legislative enactments to put a atop to such depredatory practices. After the more immediate business of the council meeting, held on Friday, had been cencluded, our respected representative—whom we are happy to see once more among his constituents, on his return from the Continent, now that he is for a season relieved of his Parliamentary duties—called the attention of the meeting to the subject, which, • like all subjects connected with the local welfare of the district, had occupied his attention during his stay in town. He stated the results of. conferences held with various members of the Board of Trade. It appears that the intruders consist of persons who, excluded from the French coast by the terms of the articles en tered into between the two countries for the mutual protection of their fisheries, periodically visit our fisheries, and convey away large cargoes of the brood of oysters, which they deposit on certain parts of the English coast, until they grow to a size sufficiently large to be redredged when the season arrives. By this means our fisheries, originally pos sessed of considerable resources, have been greatly deteriorated, and unless protected, they will unques tionably be destroyed. The evil does not arise so much from the quantity taken, as the destruction following the disturbance of the brood ; the effect being analagous to that resulting from taking a salmon in spawn, when the public are deprived, not only of the one actually taken, but of hundreds, if not thousands, besides. When it is considered that upwards of fire hundred families are dependent upon their exertions in the oyster fisheries of this district, extending from the Worm's-head to Aberavon, it must-l*, allowed that the subject is one of considerable impoitance ; and we are happy to learn, from Mr. Vivian's observa tions, that the Board f Trade contemplate bringing forward measures to suppress such piratical practices. —The Cambrian. ADDISCOMBE.—The half-yearly public examination at the East India Company's Military Seminary was held on the 9th inst.. in the presence of the chairman (John Shepherd, E.g.), the deputy chairman (Sir Henry Willock, K.L.S.), several members of the Court of Direc tors, and a numle r of military and ether visitors. The class brought forward (.ensisted of 32 gentlemen cadets. From these, ten re selected for the Engineers, viz., C. D. Newmarsh, F. C. Grindall, J. Crofton, W. W. 11. Greathead, J. Jones, F. I.

Cadell, military surveying, Hindustani ; C. D. Innes, civil drawing ; J. Ilathorn, Latin ; P. D. Horne, French. Third class—G. Chapman, fourth pod conduct. BUT IN THE CIIEAEEST AND SELL IN THE DEAREST MARKET.—That we should " buy in the cheapest market and sell in the dearest," is undoubtedly the maxim of political economy. It is often reprobated, but with what reason ? Why is an article cheap, but because it is abundant ? Why dear, but because it is scarce in proportion to the want ? Those who inhabit the locality of the two supposed markets, are alike inconvenienced ; these from a superfluous supply, those from a deficient supply. Acting on the above maxim, the merchant who buys from the one assists in obviating the evil of superfluity. and raising the price so as to repay the producer ; and when he sells in the other, the act tends to lower the price, and remove the evil of insufficiency. He benefits both parties, and has his own advantage in recompense of his services. Let him spend a fortune in doing the reverse of this. He will make the cheap market cheaper, and the dear market dearer. Those will have more who had too much, and those have less who bad too little. The man deserves to be beggared for his pains. It is the punishment of Nature and Providence upon his pernicious folly. And, eventu ally, Nature and Providence will beggar the nation whose laborious children are compelled to buy their food artificially dear, and, consequently, sell their products artificially cheap, by the class-cupidity, or the wrong headedness of their legislators. Beggary for beneficence is honourable. But the beggary whose blundering has only beggared others, is neither moral nor Christian : it is condemned for wickedness unless excused by imbeci lity.—The Struggle. Immense quantities of cod-fish have been caught off this town, about a mile or two out, during the pre sent week. They have been sold remarkably cheap, a fine fish, upwards of 201bs. weight, fetching only from Is. 6d. to 2s. Large numbers, weighing 161b5., have been sold at ls. each.—Brighton Ilerutd. THE SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SIOW. —The whole of the splendid cattle and stock, together with the implements and various other specimens connected with the agriculture of England, intended for exhibition at the ensuing anniversary of the Smithfield Club Cattle Show, have arrived at their destination, and )esterdity the judges performed the duty of making their inspection, and awarding the various prize a given by the Clitb. The number of cattle as well as stock is much greater than on any previous occasion, and it. is stated that there is scarcely a county in England but is represented by e spevitcon of some description or other, and the animals font) Statlund are considered as of a very superior quality. ! A casualty has taken place which is much to be regretted, as it has deprived the exhibition of one of the finest first ciass spe cimens of cattle. It appears that a very splendid Dur ham ox, which arrieu at the bazaar on Saturday, was soon after, either from its extreme fatness, or sonic other cause, found to be in such a condition that it was im possible it could survive, then fore it was deemed ad visable with the consent of the owner, whose name has not transpired, that it should be at once killed, and this decision was speedily curried into effect. A tenant (or gentleman) farmer, living near Luton, stated in the market-room last week, that he sowed six acres of land with wheat, which was destroyed in the winter by game ; he. broke up the ground and sowed it with barley ; one-third of it was likewise devoured by his landlord's stock without new athantage to himself : this is only a part of the injury he annually experiences. The farmer cannot look on the poacher as an unwelcome intruder on his land, when his operation tends to pro tect his growing crops from such destructive ravages, and caused by those most solicitous to be considered their friends. —Aylesbury News. POACIIING IN NORTIIIIMBERLAND.—On the night of the 29th ult., the preserves of Felton-park and Swar land were visited by a large gang of poachers, who got clear off with a heavy load of booty.— Gateshead Observer SFRIOUS AFFRAY WITH POACEIERS.—On Monday a sanguinary conflict took place in the preserves of Langley, near Lanchester, the property of the Earl of Durham, between six of the watchers and five poachers, the latter armed with bludgeons. Two of the watchers were most dreadfully beaten, so much so that their lives were considered in imminent danger. None of the poachers were captured.—Gateshead -Observer. LOW RATES OF PREMIUM. In addition to the subscribed Capital of .4300,000. the Assured have the security of the Company's Inco.re of nearly £ro,ooo per annum ? yearly incroa‘iing, and an accumulating Assurance Fund in vested in Government and other available securities, of considerably lager amount than the estimated liabilities of the Company. The rates of premium are reduoed to the lowest scale compatible with the security of the Assured, and the stability of the Company, thereby, in effect, riving to every Policy Holder an immediate and certain Bonus without risk, In lieu of the deferred and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division of Profits.
