Delcrolx and Co., 158, New Bond.street, have pleasure In offering this their last bouquet of the season, and beg to inform the Nobility and their Patrons that, during the recess, all orders for their " unique cadcau" of a case containing the six royal bou quets for one guinea, comprising the bouquets de la Reine, d'Albert, Prince of Wales, Duke of York, Princesse Royale, and Princesse Alice, will be forwarded to any part of the country, carriage paid. To insure the genuine, particular attention is required in observing that No. 158, New Bond.street, London, be upon each case and every bottle, as worthless counterfeits, for the sake of profit, are sold by Druggists and Hairdressers in town and country. SHAVING A LUXURY. PRICE and CO.'s RYPOPHAGON surpasses every soap ever invented for shaving. One trial will prove that the luxury of a good shave can be enjoyed only by those who use Price and Co.'s Rypophagon, which renders shaving (hitherto disagreeable and often painful) pleasant and easy.

(From the Brighton Herald.) The following address is from the pen of a labour ing man, living in a village in this county. His name and place of abode are affixed to the produc tion ; but, although it does him credit, and is evi dently the effusion of truth, still we think it best to suppress them, lest it should expose him to persecu tion. The writer, in his letter to us, thus describes himself : "I am a labouring man, with a family of five children. Two of my boys work at wages, 2s. 6d. each weekly. My own wages is only ss. weekly, in consequence of my not being so strong as my fellow labourers. It is on this account that I wish to do something better for my family if I can. I have wrote it in haste, in my wife's absence, because the authorities of - have told my wife that my pen will one day be the ruin of me. Alas! my fate must be bad indeed, if I fare worse than I do now. Had I time to reflect before I wrote, I doubt not I should have wrote better and spelled better. People in towns are little aware of the petty tyranny existing in villages. The gen try take a deal of pains to convince the poor that they have a soul, but if we should presume to say we know it, they are at great pains to convince us that we ought to keep it with as much secresy as the Pro testants did their Bibles in the dark ages of Romish bigotry." The following is his address : My Fellow-Labourers,—Dr. Johnson has ob served that the poor look up with stupid malignity at the rich.' But he did not tell us that this bad feeling arises from the hardships and privations we undergo, and the little comforts we enjoy, in com parison to all other cla;ses. Let us respectfully ask the three gentlemen whom we maintain in luxury out of our labour—viz., the landlord, clergyman, and farmer, not to grind our faces as they hitherto have done. Let us pray them to stretch forth their hands to save us from that squalid poverty towards which we are approaching with gigantic strides. Our con dition gets worse every year. The cry of the farmer now is that we are too numerous : this is a falsehood. We must first cultivate every acre of waste land, in cluding the various parks throughout England, ere we can say this. Human pride will try to forbid our cultivating the numerous parks, but, in the eyes of Him who sent us here to till the land, what has human pride to do with His laws and the natural rights of man ? 'We, are Nature's out-door cooks, and we are the only cooks in this world who are not allowed to take a sop in the pan. There are those who think that bread alone is sufficient to keep a man's strength up who has to la bour in the fields. I wish that those who think thus would accompany me on a cold winter's morn, with the bitter biting north wind blowing in his face, with rain, sleet, or snow. Let him work in the fields for five hours, and afterwards sit under a wet cold hedge and eat for his dinner a bit of bread day after day. He would then, like me, and thousands more, in the words of Burns, " find every sad succeeding night and joyous morn the same." He would wonder why he, of all created beings, should be so wretched. How often have I envied the birds and beasts ! " You," said I, " have a table spread in the wilderness ; you eat and drink from it without anxiety or care." When I look around on the providence of God, everything I see is conducted with so much benevolent care to every living being, that I am quite convinced that He never sent a human being to pass through a life of misery. The new poor-law was a direct robbery of 24 per cent. from the labourer's wages. The difficulty of bringing up a family at this time is extreme, more espe cially if the two first-born are females. Boys get to work much sooner than girls. Surely it is very laudable and kind to send out missionaries abroad to ameliorate the condition of our sable brethren ; and it would be also very laudable to inquire into the condition of our own labourers. And it is very kind of the gentry to send us religious tracts—to teach the rustic" moralist to die; and it would also be very kind if our superiors would teach As how to bring up a family upon 10s. a week. We beseech the three gentlemen whom we are keeping in luxury, when they make laws for the people, to recollect that we form part of the community—a low part certainly, yet we are a link in the great chain of society. Brethren, our state is worse, much worse, than it was in our fathers' time ; and I am sorry to say it will ytarly get worse, unless we are allowed to till all the waste land in Britain, or emigrate to some of our colonies —not under the present system, but under a well organised system of emigration. Leave not your native land to starve on a foreign shore, as thousands have done lately. 'We often see accounts of the de pravity of man, but can there be an instance of greater depravity than the following fact ?—ln consequence of the rapid increase of the population we have not of late years grown corn enough for our consumption; we are, therefore, obliged to buy many thousand quarters of foreign corn to supply and make up the deficiency, How kind is God to send us a supply from other countries! And how wickedly depraved are those who try every means in their power to starve us by refusing to take the gift a kind God sends us ! This careless, hard-hearted behaviour to the la bouring people, has created in us a disgust and hatred towards the aristocracy, and I am sorry to hear that this bad feeling is often displayed by the burning of corn. This is wicked, and indeed very stupid. The gentry do not pay us just wages to enable us to bring up our families, and in order to be revenged on them we do a very wicked, stupid, and malicious act, which injures those people who do not injure us, viz., the people who keep the fire-offices, for every stack and rick is insured. Let us petition Parliament to take up our cause. 1 made, some little time since, a calculation. I took the amount of meat consumed by ten of the fa milies of the aristocracy, and I found each of the members, including servants and all, amounted to each member per day to one pound and a half, which is ten pounds and a half to each individual weekly. I also took the amount of meat consumed by ten fami lies of poor people, and it amounted to only half an-ounce per day, or nearly half-a-pound per week. So that we see that the idle eat or waste three times as much per day as the poor do in one week. Did they but know the faintness and langour that so often come over the hard-working labouring man who eats only bread, the gentry would pity us. I am not speaking about those labouring people who have grown-up children and able to work, b u t th ose who have to bring up families with only the man's wages to live on. Some little time since I saw this shameful para graph in the Agricultural Express :—" If we look into the beer-shops on a Saturday night we shall see the cause of the distress among the agricultural labourers." A more gross falsehood against a suffer ing class of the community was never uttered. Per haps the man that wrote that insinuation against us has read Burns's description of a cotter's Saturday night ? if he has, let him compare it with my wife's description of the English cotter's Saturday night : " Well, .Tames, I have just been to market. I wish you would go yourself, for I really do not know how to lay the money out. I have paid 7s. for flour, Is. for coals, 3d. soap, 3d. candles, 3d. yeast, sd. for butter, 6d. for meat, 2d. for tea. I did mean to save 2d. for you to buy you one pint of beer, because you have been so poorly for the last three days, but I could not spare it ; for you know our little babe can not eat his sop without a little sugar ; if he has dry bread to eat for two or three days he is ready to starve, dear little soul. I have bought one pound of mutton, with which I will make you some broth to night ; it will do your cold good : what you leave will make a dinner for us to-morrow. I wanted to buy some flannel for Mary, and some calico for myself. George wants his shoes mended, and Richard wants some trousers ; he and all of us are very thin clad for winter. I was in hopes this week that I should be able to buy a basin or two, for we have only one fer us all. Oh, dear me ! I have spent all the money, and have forgot to buy some oil for the shoes and boot-laces. Dear me, my head turns round ; I am bewildered when I think of our numerous wants. When you was ill, a month since, and could not work for a week, we should have perished if the shopkeeper had not kindly given us credit for a little grocery, and the miller for a grist. These people expect their money ; they do not ask me for it, certainly ; but I do hate to look them in the face, because I owe them so much. I hope none of my dear children will ever marry, for love is to the poor the greatest curse. Ah, James, you may look at me ; even my love to you is a curse. How hurtful to my feelings is it when in winter you come home wet through), no good shoes to keep your feet dry, day after day, in consequence of which you have got the rheumatism in your feet. How do I wish at these times I had something to nourish you in lieu of a bit of bread and a little toast and water, a poor re ward for a man who has stood the pelting of the piti less storm all day long. God grant that in the next world we may not be governed by human beings, bAt by the law of G o d, w hi c h w i cked human beings fully miscon s t rue . Th ere we shall no more hear the voice of our oppressors." My fellow-labourers, is not this a true picture of the English labourer's Saturday night to eight out of ten ? Nay, I have put down nearly word for word the speech that my anxious wife has often made to me. Let us send petitions to our good Queen, stating the truth of our wretchei condition. Do not make known our griefs by incendiary fires, or sit down brooding and planning schemes of revenge, as did a man at Rye_ last year, who invented a new crime, which, had it not been nipped in the bud, would have made England one vast watch-house. My fellow-labourers, my experience of human life convinces me that the majority of mankind—not withstanding their very strict observance of the forms, rites, and ceremonies of religion—notwith standing the repeated admonitions of the still small voice—are but half civilised, and bear too close a re semblance to the finny tribe, which inhabit the deep and prey upon each other. But there is a glorious minority of human beings who possess souls. To those who possess that inestimable gem let us maka an appeal ; let us try to interest them by our re spectful and patient behaviour to intercede for us, and not let us sink down into a much worse than Egyp tian bondage. I have said that bread alone will not keep a man's strength up; nor will it. But alas ! how many thousands of us are there that do not get enough of that necessary food ! How many times have I my self been obliged to make up a dinner on raw turnips, because I have not had bread enough for myself and two boys; and how often have I told my poor boys that my master gave me leave to take them, fearing to inculcate a bad lesson in them on their first expe rience of life. Why is it that fevers always stop at the poor man's door ? The answer is as plain as the way to the parish church—it is our low living that breeds this miasma. I could say much on the harshness and severity with which we are treated by guardians and farmers when we apply for work ; but in this case I shall at present keep in my mind the motto of the absent Allan, " I hide my time." I must now conclude by telling you all, that our condition will yearly get worse if you do not come forward and state your grievances. Therefore, if you love your wives, if you love the children whom God has committed to your care for purposes best known to Himself, come forward with respectful petitions, and pray for adequate and fair wages.—l remain, your well-wishing friend, * * IRELAND. THE NEW DEAN OF LIMERICK. DUBLIN, DEC. 14.—The Government have bestowed the vacant deanery of Limerick upon the Rev. William Iliggin, Vicar-General of the Diocese of Killaloe and Rector of Roscrea. The new dean is described by a cor respondent of the Evening Post as a benevolent clergy man, free from sectarian bigotry. AN OT II ER MURDER. The Tipperary Vindicator of this day gives the follow ing account of another murder :—" It affords us the deepest pain to record another of those crying murders which have brought down on our county a notoriety so unenviable. In this case the parties were nearly related. An uncle was the victim—two brothers the alleged per petrators of the awful deed which has deprived him of life ! Britt is the name of the persons ; the scene of the dreadful deed near Inch, Borrisoleigh ; the cause of quarrel some dispute about land, or the right of passage through a green lane. For a long time these persons have been squabbling and litigating, always before the Borrisoleigh Petty Sessions, where they paid no attention to the truly excellent remonstrances of Mr. George Ryan, D.L., and the other magistrates of that district, who ever advised them to settle their dispute amicably. On Tuesday, it would appear, they all met in the green lane, the cause of their contention—a violent altercatior commenced—blows ensued—and the uncle, overpowered, fell a sacrifice ! We are shocked at the recurrence of these tremendous outrages. The clergy are indefati gable, as they have ever been, in warning their flocks again k st them.:,. Why, then, do.they recur ? This is. the qiiestiort.that should Lte.,,examintd intoi-gnd we , trust/it may speedily arrest the serious and deliberate attention of al,lethose, wkt, biawio-,he,ao the • interests of the country." , • .. • 'WEA - Since Thursday the weather has become exceedingly severe. On that night there was a snow storm, the wind blowing with great violence. On Friday snow and sleet fell at intervals, and this day the air is very cold and severe. The accounts from the country state that the winter has set in with unusual severity. _ NATIONAL EDUCATION. The usual half-yearly examination of the masters in training at the National Board of Education was held on Tuesday, the 10th inst. Of the Commissioners there were present the Archbishop of Dublin, the Provost of Trinity College, the Rev. P. S. henry, J. R. Corballis, and Alexander Macdonnell, Ebqs. The Archbishop of Dublin, in addressing the Protestant teachers, said— The fruits of the national system of education, wherever it had been fairly tried, have been charity, forbearance, and goodwill. Those blessed results, so much required in Ireland, have not sprung, as the opponents of the system have sometimes alleged, from indifference to re ligion. They are the offspring of true religion, properly understood. The opinions of others, who differ from them on theological subjects, should be treated with re spect. Do not, said his Grace, give up what you believe to be truth ; support it boldly and honestly, but with calmness and Christian charity. They might expect to hear the principles of the Board attacked, and, perhaps, the management of their own schools misrepresented. He earnestly exhorted them to reply to these attacks by acts, not by words. The Rev. Mr. HENRY, who addressed the Presby terian teachers, and Mr. CORBALLIS the Roman Catholic teachers, repeated similar sentiments of benevolence and MR. O'CONNELL IN WATERFORD. WATERFORD, THURSDAY EVENING.—Ai ten o'clock this morning the various trades of this important town, with their gay flags and banners, proceeded down the quay by Thomas -street, Summer-hill, and on to the old Cork-road, by which Mr. O'Connell and the numerous cavalcade that accompanied hire, were approaching the town. Several triumphal arches were erected along the line of march. The whole scene presented an exceed ingl3.l pleasing and effective coup The various municipalities of the province were represented in Li merick. Mr. O'CoNfir.m. proceeded to the Town-hall, and pre sented himself at the window, in front of the vast mul titude. When the cheering had subsided he said, " Hurrah for the repeal.—(Cheers.) Onr hearts are in the same place ; the persons listening to me have one hundred thousand hands—they have but one heart— (Cheers)—they have one hundred thousand arms—they have but one bosom.—(Cheers.) I told you that there were two means of obtaining repeal—the two ingredients were necessary for the cup of Irish prosperity. The first was peaceable conduct; the second was persever ance. lam here to thank you in the name of Ireland for your peaceable demeanour, and I thank you equally for the determination you have evinced to persevere— (Cheers.) Peace was one of the ingredients—determina tion is the second, and why should you not.persevere The Hon. Gentleman recommended reading-rooms and organisation, and then retired, and the vast multitude separated. The banquet was held in the evening in the large and spacious room of the Town-hall, which was beautifully fitted up for the occasion. The chair was occupied by Thomas Meagher, Esq., Mayor of Waterford, on whose right sat Mr. O'Connell, the Mayor of Cork, E. B. Roche, M.P., R. A. Fitzgerald, ex-J. P. On his left were the Right Rev. Dr. Foran, the Mayors of Limerick and Clonmel, Dr. Gray, and Alderman Racket. The CHAIRMAN proposed " The Queen."—(Loud Cheering.) " Prince Albert, and the rest of the Royal Family resident in England."—(Cheers.) The next toast was " O'Connell, Ireland, and the Repeal of the Union."—(The entire assembly rose simul taneously, and continued cheering for several minutes.) Mr. O'CortriELL rose to return thanks, but the cheers burst forth again and again. When silence was restored, he said :—There are two questions to be solved by think ing men—to be solved by every friend of Ireland. The first of those questions is, what is the next step we are to take for repeal?—(Cheers.) The second question is, when shall we get repeal?--(Cheers.) The result of the first question is certain. I don't think we can suffi ciently mismanage, even if we designed it, the repeal cause, so as to wake it at all doubtful that tho union is I to be repeal e d.—(Ch eers. ) I have no more doubt of it than I have of my own existence.—(Cheers.) Let there be any violent concussion of the British Ministry —let war break out in any part of Europe—let Spain become tired of obeying France in her revolu tionary insanity —or let France become impatient of conquering Spain—let any country engage in war with another, for England must always be a party to a wrangle. I heard of a fellow who, being asked why he had engaged in a dispute, said, by way of excuse, that he never saw t w o dog s fighting, but h e wished to take part with one or the other of them.—(Laughter.) So it is with England. No two dogs in Europe—no two royal dogs—can quarrel, but England must take part with one or the other.—(Hear, hear.) There is no event menacing England—there is no event menacing the public peace of the world that will not give us repeal more readily than I can pronounce the word.—(Cheers.) The first question that presenta , itself before me, with reference to our future exertions, is what we are to to do with England. I have felt it my duty to speak strongly of the English Government, and to accuse the English people of apathy to our cause, though I rejoice at the manner in which I was myself received in the spring of this year in England. I recol lett with delight the meeting in Covent-garden and the other scenes in which Engli s h man li ness seemed to pro nounce in favour of justice to Ireland ; but, like the scenes in the play in Covent-garden, they have passed like a beautiful phantasmagoria before me, and vanished from my sight, without leaving a trace behind, except m) gratitude and thantrulness to the individuals who were engaged in those different exhibitions.—(Hear.) I thank the people of England for their exhibitions when I was amongst them, yet those exhibitions have passed away without any good resulting from them.—(Hear.) What part has the English people taken in looking for the punishment of the miscreants who persecuted us ? Are they seeking for Ireland an equality with England in civil rights ? Is not there a complete disregard evinced there of everything Irish ? and am I then to go there with a begging petition and say—be so good and so kind as to come forward to ask for inquiry, and seek for the punishment of our oppressors.—(Hear, hear.) At one time, I confess, I thought that might have been a wise and prudent—l should rather say a cunning plan; but I differ with myself totally, and am now of opinion that it would rather savour of degradation than of cun ning or dignity.—(Hear, hear.) But what is it that im presses this more strongly on my mind ? It is the feel ing that we cannot make an impression on England while the adamantine wall—if I may use the phrase— the figure is bad, but the description is accurate—of the English press, stands between us and the people.— (Hear.) The English press will not report the real stet 3 of the country, or put forward our grievances. They would do so if the English people felt an interest in the subject, for then their own interests would be affected if they did not do so, but their interests are not affected by their neglect, which proves the foregone apathy of the English people. The Irish shall not continue in chains. Tee hour of thraldom is going by—and it is the duty of these who require security for the integrity of the empire and its continued consolidation under the same crown, to look to our complaints, and endeavour to mitigate them by doing us justice. Every one admits that the elements of society in Ireland are about being recast, and that is a fact that all parties in Ireland are agreed upon. We all know that it only requires even a portion of the Protestants to join Mr. Smith O'Brien and Mr. Hutchinson, and that then repeal is inevitable. —(Loud cheers.) Mr. Grey Porter, indeed, talks of calling out the Irish militia, and having 100,000 of them disciplined and armed.—(Cheers.) He says the object he has in doing so is to give " pluck" to the Irish mem bers. I believe I had people enough to-day about me to give me " pluck"—(Cheers)—without arraying them in military form ; and I tell Mr. Grey Porter, although I would rejoice to witness the military discipline of his 100,000 militia, that the moral revolution that is going forward in Ireland can be as well achieved by men in frieze coats as it possibly could by men in scarlet.— (Ilear, hear, and cheers.) Yes, it is our business to be incessant in our exertions. Let every man be ready to work. We will take no paltry excuses. I will begin with your representatives.—(Hear.) Every man must work for Ireland, or he is . not an Irishman. I will not consent to advise any human being to vote for any man who is not an Irishman.—(Cheers.) How are you to know whether he be an Irishman or not ? I'll tell you—the sirnme of an Irishman is repealer.—(Cheers.) Again I say, everybody who is not with me is against me. Hurrah for the repeal ! Recollect that we are now coming to a new year—that we must take another step in advance, and the laggard who remains behind us is aot one of us.—(Hear.) Let the Irish people stand together, shoulder to shoulder, in the peaceful contest. They are entitled to the restoratioe of that Parliament out of which they have been swindled, and let them protest in the presence of their God, without the profaneness of an oath, but with all its sanctity, that Ireland shall be a nation again.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN next gave, " The Repeal Martyrs." The next toast was, " The Protestant Patriots of Ire land."—(Cheers.) E. B. RocnE, Esq., M.P., rose to return thanks. He said—l can recollect when the Protestant patriots, and that I believe means repealer, were very few indeed ; but now we count amongst our leaders a Smith O'Brien, a GI attan, a Hutchinson, and, though last net least, a Grey Porter.—(Cheers.) It is true Mr. Grey Porter has not declared himself a repealer, but he has written in favour of repeal.—(Hear, hear.) Oh ! every Irishman ought gentleman'smt o v t m r e e a n s t u , r l e aump pen.tr h e e ald pamphlet not erna w in l t i t i c mo h s;s hyeal that,fs i t s o I , ed the t. h f e r o adoptionr e, e t n a t t of the plan proposed ; but the proposition is A noble and Ireland ought tq be de "fended o e r to led sse, by ia owndi iss'otnr—s her ; T t i ta t t as France has 1 er national ,guard, as . America has its militia, and England its yeo ina li•elandOtiAlt a'Tho to have a national militia.— . (Lc ud cheers.) I think that is a bold and a constitutional question—it is, at least, generous, free, and " racy of the soil."—(Loud cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman then rev'ewed, in eloquent terms, the principles and provisions of thy, Charitable Bequests Act. He condemned, in strong and unreserved terms, this insidious attempt to render the Catholic Church and its ministers subservient to th. State. Mt O'Connell retired about doyen o'clock, and was folloi , ed by the entire cornpany.—Freenian's Journal. CIL A BITABLE BEQUESTS ACT.-MEETING IN WATERORD. Mr. O'Connell, yesterday, attended a very numerous meeting of the Roman Catholic laity and clergy in Wa terford, to protest against the Charitable Benuests Act. The mayor presided. Dr. Foran, Roman Catholic Bishop, and several of the leading citizens, were present. TRIAL of MR. PORT at CHESTER. (Reported in the Times of the 11th instant.) The trial of Mr. Port proves, beyond contradic tion, how juries have been imposed upon in questions of medicine by interested doctors, in order to prop up their sinking theory (the organic). The law, as laid down by Sir Mathew Hale, in " Hale's Pleas of the Crown," and affirmed by Blackstone, at a time when medicine was not made such a trade of as it is at present, in cases similar to Mr. Port's, is as fol lows : "If a physician gives a person a potion without any intent to do him any bodily hurt, but with an intent to cure or prevent a disease, and, contrary to the expec tation of the physician, it kills him, this is no homicide, and the like of a chirurgeon ; and I hold their opinion to be erroneous that think, if he be no licensed chirurgeon or physician that occasioneth this mischance, that then it is a felony, for physic and salves were before licensed physicians and chirurgeons ; and therefore, if they be not licensed according to the statute of the 3d Henry, c. 11., of the 14th Henry VIII., c. 5., they are subject to the penalties of the statutes ; but God forbid that any mischance of this kind should make any person, not licensed, guilty of murder or manslaughter." Of late years a competition has arisen with the diplomaed doctors, and consequently our judges find it convenient, and in opposition to the before-mentioned high legal authorities, to adopt another dictum, which is, "that the accused shall he deemed guilty of manslaughter if he acted with rashness or negli gence," and the judges of this "rashness or negli gence," are—who do you think ? The judge or jury ? tiro, but the doctor, with the piece of parchment in his pocket, who is directly interested in obtaining a conviction. The very forcible reason given by Sir M. Hale, and affirmed by Blackstone, that " physic and salves were before licensed doctors," is so power ful, that we need not say another word to prove the iniquity of the present mode of laying down the law. The idea of placing an honest man on his trial for a felony, when his only crime is that he does not agree with the opinions of the interested doctors, and when he has done all he can to save, is so monstrous, that every lover of liberty must rejoice at the triumphal acquittal of Mr. Port. It is hoped that the answers of the doctors, on their cross-examination on that trial, will open the eyes of the people. Our judges of the present day appear to combine with the doctors against the people ; it is, however, to be hoped, that the verdict of acquittal in Mr. Port's case, in spite of both judge and doctors, will operate as a lesson to them. The only thing that should have been done to Mr. Port, if he acted as an apothecary, was (as stated by Sir M. Hale) for the Apothecaries' Company to have brought an action against him on the statute for penalties. That's the true remedy for doctors ; but we presume that that, like Sir James Graham's Bill, is not sufficient protection for them. If a surgeon, when drunk, kills a person in performing an operation, we hear of it because it is so palpable that nothing can shield him ; but with respect to a physician, he seems to be responsible to no one ; and the only reason that he is not responsible appears to be, that they (the physicians) all differ in theory and practice. The subject is certainly deserving of serious consideration. The weather during Saturday and Sunday has been most variable, and a thaw has at last succeeded the frost of the previous ten days. During the early part of Saturday the mercury was as low as 25 degrees, with a boisterous wind from the N.E., but by seven o'clock it had risen to 29 degrees, and at noon to 32 degrees, at which point it stood at six o'clock in the evening. About noon the wind veered from N.E. to S.E., and for a short time to S.S.E., with a light fall of sleet, but just before one o'clock a fall of snow commenced, which continued at intervals until eight o'clock in the evening, when the wind returned to the NE. The lowest point of the thermometer at the Royal Humane Society's Receiving house, Hyde Park, was, during Saturday night, 31 de grees. On Sunday morning at seven o'clock, the mercury had risen to 35 degrees, a thaw haring commenced about two hours previously. The sky during the morning was particularly dense and hazy until between ten and eleven 1 o'clock, when the wind shifted from N.E. to S.E., and for a time the sun partially appeared. Shortly after eleven o'clock, however, the atmosphere assumed its former density, and at noon the mercury stood at 39 de grees, at which point it remained during the afternoon. About one o'clock there was a light drizzling rain, which continued until nearly two, when the wind was again N.E. In the early part of the evening the new moon was visible, but was afterwards obscured by the hazy state of the atmosphere. At seven o'clock the thermo meter in Hyde Park was 37 degrees. During the early part of Sunday morning, the ice on the Serpentine was quite dry, and from between seven and eight o'clock until about nine the skaters enjoyed some excellent sport ; but their nvmber having then become much increased, and the cracks in the ice having been affected by the thaw, some water oozed through, and eventually the whole surface became covered, in some parts to the depth of full an inch. Throughout the middle of the day and the afternoon, the number of spectators was very great, but the number of the skaters during the day did not exceed 4,000. Towards evening the ice became very dangerous. About three o'clock much amusement was occasioned by a lady, accompanied by a respectably-dressed man, appearing with skates on the ice. For about an hour she performed various evolutions with much ability, but she then had a fall, and immediately left the ice. About four o'clock, a number of lads, coning off the ice to the north shore, were im mersed, but the water not being more than two or three feet deep, they were immediately got out. At an early hour on Sunday morning, printed bills, of which the fol lowing is a copy, were posted against the tress round the ice:— "Notice.—ln case of accident on the ice, the public are requested not to crowd round the spot, nor to inter fere with the icemen. J. Chadic., Secretary, Royal Humane Society." The number of skaters on the Serpentine on Saturday was about 6,000. No accidents occurred. On tho Round-pond in Kensington-gardens the number of skaters on Saturday was 3,000, and on the Long-water . 4,000, without any accidents. On Sunday, on the latter piece of ice, the number of skaters was nearly the same. Amongst them were several members of the Skating Club, who were easily distinguished by the silver skate suspended from their necks. On the Round-pond, although the ice was throughout the day nearly dry, not above 600 skaters ventured upon it. No accidents oc curred. The ornamental lake in St. James's-park was attended, on Saturday, by about 3,000 skaters and sliders. The ice was in excellent condition, and in thickness about three inches and a half. On Sunday, as the day ad vanced, the continued thaw having melted the snow, rendered the ice sloppy and disagreeable. There were, however, about 3,000 skaters and sliders during the day, and the banks were crowded with well-dressed company. No serious accident occurred. In the Regent's-park, where, as we mentioned on Saturday, the ice was very much cut up, and so full of flaws as likely to prove dangerous in the event of a thaw, about 6,000 skaters and sliders attended on that day, the banks being lined with spectators, but on Sunday the ice was found to be sloppy and dangerous. The park keepers and the men from the Royal Humane Society, with the police of the D division, under Mr. Super intendent Hughes, succeeded in keeping the public from those parts that were dangerous, and by such judicious management, although during the day there were up wards of 9,000 skaters and sliders, not a single accident occurred. The pickpockets mustered very strongly in all the parks, particularly in St. James's, where, from the ab sence of the police, it is supposed they made a rich harvest. Several handkerchiefs, which could not easily be carried, were hidden in various parts ; a white silk one, with orange border, was deposited on one of the hurdles near the Humane Society's marquee. BRIGHTON. This town has never been more full ; there is not a house suited to a large and distinguished family to be had throughout this extended town ; that is, if we ex cept Kemp-town ; and even here there are but few of any style or importance to be had ; perhaps the elegant abode which is just arrived at completion of Mr. George Robins (opposite the Duke of Devonshire's), is the only exception. In respect to the society who now congre gate in Brighton, it is out of the question to conceal the fact that it is not of the same character that belonged to it when George the Fourth sojourned here. We cannot now boast of forty or fifty splendid equipages at one time, and with four horses to each, giving life and spirit to the Esplanade ; we may rather call the present the elite of the citizens, and bankers, the clergymen and pro fessional men of all descriptions, but a plentiful scarcity of Dukes and Lords, and such like folks, who used to spend 'their incomes here : all this may be traced to the Radical spirit that prevails here. Gaiety, however, has at length began.,,,.Mr. Eliot; the worthy and talented M. C. of this town, took his benefit on yhursday, which was most brilliantly and' fashionably attended ; and Mons. and Madame Michau gave a grand Polka ball to their pupils, at the Old Ship Rooms, on Tuesday evening. There was a very fashionable assembly, and the number of pupils was as great, and their appearance as charming, as we ever saw on any former occasion. Several figure dances were executed with that finished ease and grace which " Madame" knows so well how to impart to her pupils. The two eldest Misses Furner danced a Minuet de la Cour, and the two youngest the Pas de Giselle. There was also a Shawl Dance by Miss Weston, and a Bolero, characterised by all the freedom and grace of that de lightful movement. But of course the Polka was the predominant feature of the evening ; and perhaps it was never seen to greater perfection than as danced by the twenty interesting couples of youthful belles, dressed in the same chaste costume, who swept the circle of the ball-room. Among the company who attended on this oc casion, animated by more interesting feelings than those of - mere lookers-on, like ourselves, were Mr. and Mrs. George Robins, with their little troupe of cnfans cheris, and who distinguished themselves highly in all the polkas and the quadrilles. They were, indeed a little feature in the evening's entertainment; but a greater treat in petto was reserved, in the person of Miss Elize Robins, a little dar ling not yet six years old, who danced a fancy dance (the Cracovienne), toute seule, in a most captivating manner. She looked a little Taglioni—or, perhaps, it may be better taste to say, it was in,the real Michau style. She danced with uncommon spirit, and looked a little fairy to the very life. On making her curtsey (which she did most elegantly), the applause throughout the crowded room was unanimous. She was the great (or, to speak by the book, the little) lion of the evening. Madame Alichau's style, and her tact in teaching, place her very high in the school of dancing ; indeed, she need be under no apprehension of encountering a successful rival in her art. The beautiful stained glass that is to form the coup d'ail of the exterior to Mr. Robins's Marine Villa at Kemp-town, is to inclose the portico entree, and will have a novel and prepossessing effect ; we be lieve it will be perfected to-day. The Earl of Aberga venny and the Duke of Somerset are both mentioned as competitors for this delightful abode. It appears to us that it was in good taste that Mr. Robins has added two buildings for the stable department ; such a mansion stood in need of it , not only eight stalls, but also eight bedchambers are added for the male portion of the esta blishment to repose in. The theatre has not been patronised to the extent of its deserts. The company are far above the common order, and if the visitors desire to be amused they ought to encourage the enterprising manager, Mr. Hooper, who is most active and obliging. Kean and his amiable wife are extraordinary favourites here—they are the only performers who have paid them selves well, and put money into the pockets of the management. There has been great difficulty here, for some tiros past, in getting the railway papers, even with a little bribery, and this inconvenience has been greatly felt—it is now remedied, and in a most effectual manner. The Board of Directors have appointed Messrs. Wright, the eminent music-sellers (and vendors of choice wines also), of the Colonnade, to be the only depot for these time-tables—they are distributed free gratis, and with the usual good manners—that is one of the characteristics possessed by this respectable firm.— Brighton Heald, Dec. 14. FlRE.—Sunday afternoon a fire broke out in the house of an oil and colourman, Brick-lane, Spitalfields, opposite the brewery of Messrs. Truman, Banbury, and Co. As several men were at the latter establishment, they lost no time in dragging the engine to work, and very quickly afterwards several of the brigade reached the spot, but the fire obtained a mastery over the fire men's exertions, and notwithstanding water was plentiful in the extreme, in about half an hour the principal por tion of the premises and property . were destroyed. DARING RORBERY.—On Friday night the follow ing robbery took place at the Printers' Arms, New Church-court, strand. A castomer in the parlour rang the bell and ga go an order, and Mrs. Meader, the land lady, forthwith at tended . to :t. Du r i ng h er a b sence from the bar, about two minutes, on her return she saw a man who required serving. Having served the customer, to her surprise she noticed the man dart out of the door with a silver watch in his hand, which the fellow had taken from the bar off a nail. An alarm was raised and pursuit was giver. but the thief got clear off with the property in his possession. FURTHER PARTICULARS. 'When first the dress of Miss Webster was dis covered to be on fire the whole corps de ballet, who were on the stage with her, closed round her almost simultaneously, and as if by instinct, to crush and ex tinguish the flames, but, terrified at the terrific ap pearance which almost instantaneously presented itself, they retreated, and she rushed forward alone towards the front of the stage. Mdlle. Plunkett alone endeavoured to extinguish the flames, and in so doing was herself nearly falling a victim to her intrepidity and good feelings. At this moment a man sprang from the wing of the stage, and throwing himself upon the young lady, threw her down and extin guished th e fi re by rolling upon her. In so doing, however, , he ' severely cut her upper lip, and received come slight i njury hi mse l f from the burning clothes. He is not, however, much h urt, and was on Sunday at the theatre. Miss Webster Was immediately taken into the green-room, and placed upon a sofa. Her clothes were nearly all consumed, at least all her ex ternal garments. Fortunately, Dr. Marsden, of Lincoln's Inn, was in the theatre, and his assistance was rendered without delay. The usual applications of spirits of wine and water, flour, &c., were had recourse to, and every thing done that, under the immediate circum stances, could be done. Miss Webster's face was much blistered, and in some parts scorched, the eye lashes and eye- brows burnt off; but the hair of the head is untouched. The lower extremities are much scorched, and the flesh of the hips is also much burnt. The hands also have suffered dreadfully, they are said to be burnt almost to the bone. Miss Webster never lost her recollection, but exhibited, notwith standing the dreadful agony under which she la boured, great physical power and extraordinary moral fortitude. She was conveyed to her h.me in Upper Norton-street in a carriage, attended by Dr. Mars-. den, who administered fresh applications, and who has since been unceasing in his attendance. During the whole of Sunday the inquiries were incessant after her health. Mr. Liston, the eminent surgeon, and other medical gentlemen, were called in, but they concurred in all that Dr. Marsden had done, and his mode of treatment has been adhered to. At one o'clock on Sunday the answer to inquiries was that she had had a few hours' sleep, and was doing as well as could be expected. At eleven at night, the account was, that she was still in great danger, but that the symptoms were favourable, and hopes were entertained of her ultimate recovery. She was not delirious, but there was some appearance of in coherence in her questions to those in attendance on her. Altogether her case bears a more favourable as pect than was at first expected. LATEST PARTICULARS. We are happy to state that Miss Clara Webster is pronounced " out of danger." She was much burnt about the hands and face ; but the accounts published have greatly exaggerated her case. Her mind is now much composed, and she bears her sufferings with be coming fortitude, which is a great consolation to her friends. THE LATE FATAL EXPLOSION ON THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY. CORONER'S INQUEST ON AARON WILKINSON, THE STOKER. An inquiry into the circumstances attending the death of Aaron Wilkinson. the unfortunate stoker, killed with his fellow-servant by the explosion of an engine, on the viaduct of the Croydon and Dover Branch Railway, on Wednesday morning last, was held on Saturday, before Mr. Payne. The body presented a shocking spectacle ; the fea tures and head were so much disfigured, that, although the deceased was stated to be only nineteen years of age, it was impossible to distinguish him from a man of sixty. Mr. W. Tickle, one of the hospital surgeons, described the nature of the injuries deceased had received. The upper part of the body was extensively scalded, and there was a deep cut over the left eye, communicating with a slight fracture of the skull. There was no symptom of compression of the brain, but, with the ex ception of occasional indications of suffering, the de• ceased remained insensible from the period of his ad mission, and died about six o'clock on Thursday even ing. The witness was unable to state the precise cause of death, not having obtained the sanction of the de ceased's friends to make a post mortem examination ; but there could be little doubt that it arose from concus sion of the brain. He never rallied in the least degree, nor did he make any statement as to how the accident occurred. The several witnesses who were examined repeated the same evidence which was given before Mr. Carter at the inquest on Buckley, and which appeared in this journal on Saturday. Mr. Edward Bury, in the course of his evidence, said he preferred the circular form of fire-box, considering that the pressure was more equally disposed over the surface of the boiler in that form. There were at least 500 of the same construction at work in various parts of England, and this was the first accident which had occurred to any one of them. lie had known a circular box changed to a square one, and burst on the first sub sequent trial. The CORONER having summed up, The foreman, after the lapse of a very few moments, and without any private conference, answered, that him self and brother jurors were unanimously of opinion "That the deceased, Aaron Wilkinson, was killed by the accidental explosion of a certain locomotive engine, ow ing to an excessive pressure of steam on the boiler." It is only right to state, that throughout the painful investigations consequent or. this catastrophe the autho rities of the joint railway companies have afforded every possible facility to those engaged in elucidating eh-cum stancv connected therewith; and it is a fact which can not fail to be be gratifying to the public generally, that the result has shown that no want of care can fairly be attributable to any one of them. A SHIP SA .1 .NG 18,000 FEET ABOVE THE SEA —Some very rem-ikable particulars are given in a Mon tevideo journal o I.ritish enterprise, one of whose most extraordinary f !attires is " a ship sailing on a level of 18,000 feet above the ssm. " The gold mines of Tipuani, and the emerald mines of Illimani, are situated on the banks of the Lake Chiquito. The only vegetable produce of the district is a . pecies cat red potatoe, called chusmo, and a few nutritious [ slants ; bet to the east of the Lake, at Copacasana, and in the til'eys of the Bolivia, are culti vated maize, barley, and frt.it-bearing trees. The diffi culty of feeding from their c wit scanty region, the large body of Indiana working in the mines suggested the idea of building a vessel for the navigation of the lake. An old brig was accordingly pu-phased and stripped of her anchors, sails, and rigging ; and stocks being built, after two years of painful and unct asing labour, the vessel was launched or. the lake, and a regular communication opened with the produce of the valleys of the :Bolivia.- The brig is Well furnished with all necessaries, except anchors, which even the perseverance of these English speculators could not raise to so great a height. The same enterprising parties have transported a steam engine across the cordilleras, dug through the metalli ferous; hills of Lacaycota, a canal 2,000 feet in length, traversed by nine locks, and laid down a railway at its extremity, for the conveyance of their ore. The island of Titicaca, in this lake, is assigned by tradition as the cradle of the earliest Peruvian civilisation, and the sacred burial-place of the ancient kings of the country. THE DUNCOMBE ESTIMONIAL.—Sunday evening a public meeting was held at the Ball, Clement's-lane, for the purpose of adopting measures in furtherance of the above object. Mr. O'Neil presided. Several per sons were in the body of the room. After some remarks from the Chairman, complimentary of Mr. Duncombe's patriotic exertions in the cause of liberty, Mr. Coffy came forward, and addressed the meeting at some length, detailing Mr. Duncombe's many claims on the working classes in England and Ireland, particularly in the oa.e of the Masters and Servants' Bill. A worse measure, ho added, was in preparation fvr next session by Sir James Graham. It was therefore the duty of the working classes to bestir themselt; and by their strenuous exer • tions show their gratitude. Mr. Thorn, an : elector o the borough of Finsbury, next addressed the meeting ii a short speech, advocating the claims of Mr. Duncombe. Mr. Stallwood (a member of the Central Committee:, said that the people of England were equally oppressed with the poorer classes in Ireland. As an Englishman, he certainly was surprised at Irishmen claiming equal justice with Englishmen. Ile would wish to ask what that equal justice meant ? The people of Ireland com plained of the crippled state of the franthise. Now, would the miserable franchise enjoyed by Englishmen, satisfy them ? Irishmen complained of a bad poor-law ; would a similar poor-law with that in England satisfy them ? lle should say not. The people of Ireland were oppressed by a State Church. So were the people of England. The grievances ct the Irish people ‘ese equal with those of England, it an Englishman, therefore, he hoped that the peon! , of Ireland would sympathise with those oppressed u England. After some remarks in favour of the claims of the lion . Member for Finsbury, Mr. Stallwoo curcluded amidst much cheering. A list of the princi a! subscriptions, which have already appeared in this paper, was next read ; in addition to which there was announced 10". I us. from John Follett, Esq., M.P. for Athlone ; and 25/. from Edward Davis Davenport, Esq., late M.P. ARCHITECTURE.—We understand that or de, .ers have been issued by the Admiralty to discontinue for the present the building of the ships after the Albion and Queen. Some healthy symptoms, thou fore, begin to manifest themselves ; and, as we anticipated, the good sense of the men at the head of naval affairs io thiS country will no longer be deluded in the teeth of such facts as we quoted in our last. Any one may form some idea of the uneasy propensities of these ships, when it is known that the Queen, during the late trials, actually carried away her fore-top-gallant mast in pitching, and sprung her main top-gallant mast. She was in var i a bly b ea ten on a wind by the St. Vincent ; and she is the most unmanageable and dangerous ship possible. She carries two turns of lee helm, with the mail. tack on board, and foresail up. The Albion also, notwithstand ing her beautiful sailing, evidently lost groue. from a similar cause, so that she did not gain so much after tacking as she ought to have done by the di: tance she fore-reached. There is one fact not generally known, viz., the inclination under sail became greata- as the Queen lightened, so that her inclination at last was just as great as that of the St. Vincent or Caledonia both heeled 6 degrees.—Plynouth Times. z ... _..- t./ .7 --- „ ..,,,4.0 ..._..„.... /.P..„0- ,- - '4 ' 0 .. . _ 1 4 )1 4- 4 .
