Three-quarters of a mile from home Birdie took a long lead of Kate Terry, Imogene being third, and Queen of Trumps several lengths last. As they went down the back stretch Kate Terry drew up to Birdie, and with Imogene headed Birdie half a mile from home. At the turn into the straight Kate Terry was beaten, and a most exciting struggle took place between Birdie and Imogene, the pair running head and head to within a few strides of the chair, when Imogene, answer ing gamely, drew out, and won by a short neck, four lengths separating second and third. Queen of Trumps pulled up after clearing the last fence.

Mr. T. Martin's Bronze (11 b), aged, 14st Exeter Hall, for the purpose of representing the true objects and position of Trades' Societies. ' They would invite Mr. Gladstone and other pro : minent opponents of Trades' Unionists, and he believed these gentlemen were not above being taught. The true reason that these societies were now so violently assailed was because they were be coming a power in the State. It was lawful for workmen to combine, and the best interests of so ciety demanded that the highest uniform rate of wages should be adopted. Mr. Adie, the delegate from Church Gresley, said that he was quite satisfied with the support he had received from the London Trades, and he felt quite confident that the miners who were locked out were prepared to hold out to the end in defence of the principle which they were endeavour ing to sustain. Several delegates present addressed the meeting in favour of holding the proposed meet ing in Exeter-hall, and urged that a public discus sion of the subject of Trades' Unions would be far preferable to argumentation on the question through the medium of letters. The following resolution was then proposed and carried : —" That this meeting of Trades' delegates hereby convene a special meeting of delegates from the Trades of London for Tuesday evening, January 14, to con sider the propriety of holding an aggregate public meeting of Trades' Unionists in Exeter-hall, just prior to the opening of Parliament, for the purpose of defending trades unions from the attacks so persistently made against them, and of inviting Mr. Gladstone and other leading opponents of trades unions to attend• that meeting, to hear from trades unionists themselves what trades' union principles really are."

(From the Guernsey Mail.) On Thursday last, the 26th inst., M.Victor Hugo gave, at noon, the sixth yearly fete to forty poor children, at his residence, Hauteville House, a large number of influential ladies and gentlemen being also present. The fete consisted of three parts : First, the luncheon ; second, the poet's oration and the presentation of garments; third, the distribu tion of articles from the Christmas tree. During the first part, shortly after twelve, the poet entered the room, greatly applauded by the company, the chil dren and the visitors having already commenced partaking of refreshments, the same quality being offered to all, without distinction of rank. It should not be forgotten that the children are always sure to obtain an entrance to the fete, for it is considered that it is peculiarly their own. Thus, at least once a year, are we taught to respect the poor by a man whose authority is immense. The party then passed into another room, where Victor Hugo delivered a speech, of which the following is a summary : He said that be had been requested to repeat the explanations he had already given on the subject of his weekly dinner, and, as the end he Lad in view was to be useful, he would rapidly go over the same ground. Scientific men tell us that poor children equi re proper nourishment at least once a month, without which their health would be sure to suffer. It was for the interest of the future that children should be loved by the rich. In order to have a fair future, it was necessary, God helping, now to set a good example. He indicated a simple means to ar rive at that end. He had established a dinner for 40 poor children, divided into two bands of 20, which dine alternately.- In order to be invited to urnuer puvc.at tue (July requisite; no custinetions between creeds or nationalities were made ; Roman Catholics, Protestants, French, and English, were alike welcome.

THE MINERS" LOCK-0 UT. __~_ Last evening an adjourned meeting of the dele gates of the London Trades was held at the Bell Inn, Old Bailey, to consider the position of the miners who are at present locked out at Church Gresley, Derbyshire. Mr. George Potter presided, and in opening the proceedings said that the lock-out still continued, and was likely to con tinue for some time to come. No further efforts had been made on behalf of the men to termi nate the agitation, and the masters still re mained silent and obstinate. During the Christmas holidays, as might be expected, no great increase had been made in the fund established for the relief of the miners who had been locked out, but the sup port afforded now was as great as had been hitherto. In addition to the " scale" which the men locked out were receiving —about Bs. per week per head— the South Yorkshire miners had sent a special gift of coal to the families of those who had been locked out. The masters refused to give coal to those men or their families, and had further prohibited the dealers in Church Gresley to sell coal to those concerned directly or indirectly with the present agitation. If the latter afforded it to them the masters would discontinue the supply from the mines. The coal which had been sent by the South Yorkshire miners had been distri buted in quantities of half a ton to each family. Mr. Bass, M.P., had also given 151 b. of meat to each family during the Christmas holidays—an act of benevolence for which all Trades' Unionists should feel grateful. Mr. Brown, who had the distribution of money among those who had been locked out, stated that there was every appear ance of the men bolding out all through the sum mer if necessary rather than succumb. The was ters were suffering severely, as might be understood from a few facts he wished to state. In one pit 130 had been locked out, and only 60 remained at work ; in a second 80 were locked out, and the pit re mained standing altogether; in a third 60 were locked out, and only 30 remained at work ; in a fourth 300 were locked out, and only 60 remained at work ; in a fifth 150 were locked out, and 140 remained at work—that was to say, over 900 were locked out, while only 400 remained at work. In a pit where 100 trucks of coal were formerly raised only 30 were now obtained, in another where 40 trucks were formerly raised only 17 were now obtained, in a third, where 90 trucks were formerly raised only 11 were now obtained, iu a fourth where 73 trucks were formerly raised only 28 were now obtained, in a fifth where 280 trucks were formerly raised only 120 were now obtained, and in a sixth where 2,600 tons per fortnight was the average return the supply was now reduced to 600 tons for a corresponding period. ',,There were 925 men re ceiving " scale" during the present lock-out, and these comprised men of various trades and occu pations. He would now call attention to some statements made by Mr. Gladstone in a speech recently delivered at Oldham. In that ad dress the Tight hon. gentleman had repeated the stereotyped assertions which bad been persistently made regarding Trades' Unions, but be ought to have informed himself of the true facts of the case before he spoke as he bad spoken of these societies. He had charged Trades' Unionists with violence and intimidation, and bad asserted that the tendency of their action was to reduce the condition of operatives to " one dead level." That was contrary to fact. '1 he Trades Unions fixed the minimum rate of wages which all in a particular trade were able to earn, but they did not dictate to the masters not to give more to skilled workmen. It had been suggested that a special delegate meet ing should be called to consider the propriety of holdiac an aggregate meeting of Unionists at , In[AIR DESTROYER. -248 , High Holborn, finons hairtifdrti-The face, R n O e S ci S t, 'S an D l P a 8, wi ß th r ou r r effect super- skin, in.

This year Lady Thompson, treasurer of the children's dinner, Marylebone, had sent him a letter, published in the Guernsey papers, which the speaker noticed. It stated that six thousand chil dren had dined during the few months of its esta blishment. First, then, there were forty, after wards the three hundred and twenty, and now the six thousand : thus the little stream of Guernsey had become a large river in Loudon. He begged now to thank Lady Thompson and her colleagues for their endeavours. (Cheers.) Addressing him self to the ladies, he asked them to think of their children whilst beholding the poor ones present ; and requested them, who were happy and favoured mothers, so to inculcate from childhood the frater- nity of men that the little rich should not be envied by the little poor. Let us sow the seeds of love ; thus we shall appease the future. He wished that the children should have one day, of joy out of the year of misery. To-day they had had a luncheon, and now clothes were about to be distributed to them ; and, in the third place, they would share the joys of a Christmas-tree. (Cheers.) Every one of us f said M. Hugo, has here below duties of different sorts to perform. God imposes on us, in the first instance, serious duties—we must struggle in the interest of all men ; we must combat agiiinst the strong and the powerful—against the strong when they abuse their strength, and against the power- ful when they badly employ their power ; we must take by the collar the despot, whoever he be, from the carter who ill treats a horse, to the king who oppresses a people. To be successful and to struggle are rude necessities ; life would be hard if it only consisted of that. Sometimes after useless endeavours we ask respite from duty ; we drag ourselves into the presence of conscience, and conscience replies that we must continue in duty. The struggle, however, is interrupted, to contem plate these poor little ones, whose fresh-coloured faces are both lighted and rosy by the splendid dawn of life. We feel moved ; we pass from indig nation to tenderness, and we understand the aim of life. Thus we thank God, who, though giving us to combat the powerful and the wicked, gives us yet to succour the innocent and the feeble -- (cheers)._ and who, side by side with the grave duties of life, has placed the cheerful ones—the latter to uphold the former. (Great applause.) At the conclusion of the speech, garments were distributed to the children ; then the company passed into the " tapestried room," where M. Hugo super- intended the presentation of the numerous articles which were on the Christmas-tree ; after which he presented some pieces of mu s i c t o severa l o f t h e ladies, as a souvenir of the fete, and a large piece of music was drawn for by lot. The fete ended shortly before two p.m. From two to three hun dred visitors were present. rADVERTISEMENT.j--Hollo way's Pills.—No medicine can surpass these Pills in their purifying and correcting powers over every organ of the body.

Isi • - • Bentley s Miscellany opens with thirty-two pages of a continuation of Mr. Harrison Ainsworth's novel, " Myd delton Pomfret." From " The German Almanacks of 1868" an industrious writer has succeeded in compiling some very excellent matter. As he truly says, the outer life of Germany is known to everyone. It is at present a general but confused aspiration for unity, tramelled by old territorial and religious prejudices, and kingly, princely, and electoral privileges. The inner life is, how ever, less easily come at, and the annuals which Christ mas lets loose upon us in the shape of almanacks are un doubtedly amongst its best exponents. Some of them are truly ponderous tomes, containing a history of the preced ing year, with the progress made by the country in art, science, and mechanical invention. No subject is forgotten. There is information alike about fashions and needle.guns ; there are pretty pictures and homely advice to young housekeepers, characteristic anecdotes, and racy illustra tions. Several pages of these are given, and very interest ing pages they are. Closely following these is a tale of crime, the scene whereof is laid in France, and is said to have been originally related by Vidocq, the chief of the police under Louis Philippe. The famous valley of Cashmere, the reputed birthplace of " the Shepherd Kings," is the subject of a short but comprehensive article, which suggests the annexation of this territory to British India with a view of checkmating Russian policy in the East. The argument is, that were Cashmere garrisoned and the passes held by a European force, we should have it in our power to debouch at any moment on the one hand upon the plains of Central Asia, or upon the other, if needed, to throw a force into our own provinces. The climate of Cashmere, though somewhat warm in summer, suits well the European constitution, exhausted by the heats of the low country. The third series of " Prestwood Papers" concern dunces at school who have become prize men in after life. As Hazlitt has reminded us, boys who shine at school do not make the greatest figures in after life ; so per contra the early dunce has frequently turned out to- be the master mind of the future. Amongst the more incorrigible dunces at school were Sir Walter Scott, Tom Moore, Oliver Goldsmith, Linnmus, Sir Isaac Newton, Steele, Hogarth, and many others. The number finishes with a tale by Monk Saville, entitled " Worth the Winning," which embodies some' eminently characteristic incidents of a love story, and to the devotees of this class of literature will be found " worth the reading." Temple Bar continues to be essentially that which its title tells us it professes to be—a London magazine for town and country readers. In the January number the matter is sufficiently varied to please the grave, the gay, the fashionable, and the commonplace. There are three corc:',44rations, the first of which, " Stephen Lawrence, Yeoman," in carrying on the story already partly told, introduces the reader to some curious incidents in Parisian life, where the central figures are a fast young English wife and an easy-going husband, who is rapidly getting into bad company—gamblers towit. Mr. Sheridan Le Farm gives three more chapters of "A Lost Name," which contain many points of interest to the lovers of the affectionat e an d th e roman ti c . M r . F ran k Buckland contributes a brief, pleasantly-written paper descriptive of the domestic life of two monkeys which that well-known naturalist has supplied with a home underneath his roof. The writer says he could go on fora month describing the characteristics of his little pets, but he tells a great deal in his half-dozen pages, and winds up by informing the public that the monkeys love him, and he loves the mon keys. Mr. J. H. Riddell, under the head "In the Gloam ing," relates an instance of Scottish superstition, which, like the ghost story named " Squire Toby's Will," in the same number, is read by the admirers of the weird, the supernatural, or the improbable. Mr. James Hannay furnishes a well-written raper on the "Literature of Satire." He contends that a great want of the present generation, and one which is not likely to be supplied during the ascendancy of the existing taste for twaddle, is a History of Satirical Literature. The writer ought to begin with Aristophanes and end with Bdranger. In his rapid racy way, Mr. Hannay undertakes the task himself. He deals with the satirists of Greece, of Rome, of the middle ages, of the Reformation, and of the last and the present centuries. He finds them taking part with truth and right, and fighting nobly for them, in many a great historical movement. He passes under a hasty review works of every sort of charm, moral and intellectual, affording abundant ilustrations of the changes of opinion and manners, and gives a great deal of valuable informa tion on a subject on which he is so well qualified to form and to express an opinion. If the success of a magazine depends, as to a great extent it certainly does, on its combination of the charac teristics of the journal and the novel, 271/8/eys' is working in the right vein. two or the articles have a direct bearing on the most - prourmtm, --wpm or th - e day— Fenianism. The "Adventures of Dr. Brady" affords Dr. Russell an opportunity, which is well used, to throw in a large amount of political philosophy anent the state of Ireland. One might say to a Fenian— dete fabilla narra tor -of the following : "Iu their reveries they fancied that one nationality was like another, that what one could do another could do, under circumstances totally different. A country gentleman, unwarlike, vain, perverse, and impracticable ; some briefless banisters, intoxicated by the praises of their followers ; a few ardent journalists, who deemed burning sentences and fervid periods to be potent as volleys of musketry and as charges of grape ; weak enthusiasts, who thought that to die for a cause was to gain it : unselfish, but violent, utterly futile, foolish conspirators, who plotted every morning in the news papers and held public meetings at night, to carry out their secret designs—these, and such as these, joined by the desperadoes who are ever ready to run the hazard of the die in any dangerous enterprise, absolutely set to work to wrest Ireland from the dominions of th e Crown under which it was placed hundreds of years before Scot land acknowledged its sway. The whole scheme burst into thin air before a few rounds of ball cartridge. But as the tiniest jet of flame from the crater tells of tremen dous fires raging below, the outbreak proved that the ele ments of fierce eruption were underlying the crust which scarcely warmed with the touch of the expiring flash. The volcano is burning yet, and ever since that time a number of well-meaning people have been toiling up the mountain side with tin cans and watering-pots, dribbling the contents down the crater by way of extinguishing the fire and quenching the internal conflagration." Dr. Russell writes often epigrammatically. Of " a magnifi cent specimen of eloquence " he says truly : "Wisdom is seldom found in the councils of the miserable. Misery creates orators. The unhappy, the wretched, are elo quent; but eloquence has destroyed more than it has saved, and the great orators of the world stand amid ruins." The dialogue and incident of the present chapters of "Dr. Brady" are as sprightly as an Irish story ought to be. "Aunt Anastatia on the Festive Season" com bines a little truth with much misrepresentation. Life nowadays is not growing more. artificial and restrained, but, on the contrary, more sensible and rational. " England, Ireland, and America" is professedly written by an American Fenian. Its purport is that Great Bri tain is now the most easily assailable of empires, provided that she can have an antagonist that can meet her upon the seas. In that respect the United States are her pre destined and only opponent. This seems to be their mission, for which all history has carefully educated them, and to which they are steadily and not unwillingly fin nbaettiloine,giciolzdo o P t e h l l e e r d t h b r y e a a t e n n e d inexorable people, fate. The British lives long ; and if it fortune of the writer, he will find he was not born to be a prophet. " The Rock Ahead " has pro gressed to Book the Second, and in the present instal ment Mr. Yates says too much of his characters, and they say too little for themselves. The novelist, like the dramatist, should allow as far as possible his characters to develope in the dialogue and incidents of his work. Mean while, the interest in them is fairly kept up and the plot is becoming exciting. " Middle-class Housekeeping" is a useful but a slightly overdrawn picture of the rapacity of London shopkeepers. Even in the metropolis ready money will not reduce expenses by two-thirds. The means recommended to extricate townspeople from monopolies deserve practical consideration, especially in the matter of markets. According to this article, the Liverpool market reduces the expenses of the inhabitants to such an extent, that .£GOO a-year in Liverpool is worth £l,OOO in London. The EngliAwoman's Domestic Magazine.--The character of this magazine is accurately defined by its title. That character is strictly adhered to, and is efficiently developed. Enriched with a series of engravings, accompanied with Letterpress descriptions, of the newest needle-work pat :erns and ladies' and children's fashions, the number for the present month will be very favourably received by the class to whom it is especially addressed. Its literary matter is not without merit. Besides two or three tales adapted for family reading, there is a really excellent paper on " Some Curiosities of Materia Medico," and an instructive illustrated article on "Drawing-room Plants for Winter Decorations." Presented to subscribers as!), -- little Christmas offering are ten exquisitely executed table cards, intended to be used at dinner or supper to indicate the places of the guests. These alone are worth a good deal more than the shilling for which the periodical is sold. " Scissors and Paste" is the title of a readable article in Chambers's Journal, on the duties of sub-editors, frommthich •" With- out revealing any prison-house secrets, I may mention that I know at least one newspaper now producing an enormous revenue to its proprietors, which but a few years back was only saved from absolute extinction by the efforts of its sub-editor. Had he not begged and bor rowed money enough to pay for its machinery for a week, it would have died without a struggle, and instead of being the great power in journalism wh;eh it now is. woul4 Lave been long since forgotten."

CANDLES. —If you d o no t want your can dl es exclusively for show, but with pleasantness of appearance require excellence of burning buy "PRICE'S GOLD MEDAL PALMITINE," or their " SHiRWOOD PALMITINE," or their good old-fashioned "BELMONT SPERM." or " BELMONT WAX," or their "BEST," " N o. 2, " " N 0.3 ," or " BATTERSEA " COMPOSITE, in preference to the finest and most transparent Paraffine candles. But if you must have the extreme trans parency of pure Paraffine, " PRICE'S PARAFFINE" or th e i r "BELMONTINE" w ill give it to you in perfection, and at a more moderate price than is usually charged for any other really first class Paraffine Candles. The new toilet soap "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIED GLYCERINE," containing half its weight of their concentrated distilled Glyce rine, should be in general use in every house before the winter comes on, because of its admirable effects in preventing chap ping of the hands and face. In every house there ought also to be one of the sealed bottles of their concentrated Distilled Gly cerine, known everywhere as "PRICE'S GLYCERINE," and prescribed by the most eminent medical men abroad as well as at home, as the one only Glycerine for medicinal use whether ex ternally or internally. PRICE'S FAN CY SOAPS of the different sorts usually made are excellent, and command a constantly increasing sale. The "Solidified Glycerine" spoken of above is, however, the one fancy soap to use. "PRICE'S NEW PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS," for burning in the wide glasses are believed to be the very best Night Lights made. "PRICE'S CHILDS' NIGHT LIGHTS," for burning without glasses, and their different sorts of "CHAMBER CAN DLES" are so well known, and so generally used and appre ciated, as not to need any special notice here.

Betting -7 to 4 agst Tumult, sto 2 agst Ross, and 6to 1 agst any other. The favourite cut out the work for about fifty yards, when Ross went to the front, Tumult and Havannah following on nest, and Molly last. In this way they went past the stand the first time, and to the fence at the top turn, where Havannah fell, and was not afterwards persevered with, the favourite and Ross coming locked togetbor about twenty lengths in advance of Molly. No further change took place until getting to the last fence into the course, which Tumult cleared first, but he was almost immediately headed by Molly, who had fast overhauled the two leaders, after coming round the turn. At the hurdles opposite the stand Molly gave way, and falling at the next flight the issue was left to, the other two, who alternately led to the bottom turn, where Ross was beaten, and Tumult, being left in front, won in a can ter by half a distance. The City Steeplechase Handicap of 5 - sovs each, lft, with 50 added ; winners of any steeplechase or hurdle race after Dec. 14 (at 10 a.m.) 71b extra ; the second to save his stake; about three miles and a half.

Murphy) 0 Betting-3 to 1 each agst Imogene, Queen of Hearts, and Birdie, and sto 1 (at first 5 to 2) agst Carlow. After settling into their strides, Imogene made play, closely followed by Birdie, Kate Terry, and Queen of Hearts in the order named, the rear being brought up by Carlow, who refused the first flight of hurdles, and took no further part in the race. Meanwhile the others came on and passed the stand almost abreast of each other. After rounding the top turn Birdie took up the running, Kate Terry being second, and Imogene third, Queen of Hearts being now several lengths in the rear of the latter. They ran in this way to the Stretford road side, where Imogene dropped back into the company of Queen of Hearts, the pair being several lengths in the rear of Kato Terry, who followed close in the track of Birdie. No further change took place until making the bottom turn, where Kate Terry took up the running, the rearward pair joining company with the leaders, the bank jump being cleared by Kate Terry being slightly in advance of the other three. 4.1 :ales, ance auch The enti- 0 so, r the )wer Lions ge of tight cer ir of )lace only hose L the )lied .00ls. feat ther ved, ler a ;hir- lade 1 up lost coal, his h of oxi- stc- twin led; 23 the ex- the Lac e it DIV d to rho , me the ato but ved at, red the
