Unhappily we do not now see the realisation of old descriptions concerning the joyous aspect of the season through which we are passing, and the merry England of Christmas in the olden time has been replaced by sad sights and dreary attributes. The condition of the poorer classes in the metro polis just now is sufficient to damp the most san guine expectations, and to give rise to the darkest anticipations. The worst of it is that the present distress follows upon a long period of anxiety and depression, and many Causes had combined to render their condition most lamentable before the present winter season had set in. This promises to ba a. severe one, and hence those best informed on •. -• the so:abject may well look around them iu sorrow, and regard the future with dismay. We all know that the most unbounded charity cannot do everything, and that all aid and assistance, however ungrudgingly it is bestowed, cannot ,proceed beyond a certain point. It re mains to be considered what will become of those who are already destitute, and look upon this inclement season with dread and horror. The best thing to do, in presence of this calamity, is to consider how to palliate the evil whose exist ence cannot be denied, instead of wasting time and disputing upon the causes which have led to the effect we all deplore. It will only re quire a week or two of bitter weather to bring the misery, now prevalent in the eastern districts, to a pitch of suffering difficult to describe, and fearful to contemplate. It is to be regretted that some persons, doubtless through mistaken motives, have been representing that too much has been made of the distress question, but such is quite contrary to the actual truth. Let those who doubt and hesitate see and judge for themselves, and take the opinion of those competent to decide in whom they can place credence. It would, in deed, be a mercy if any exaggeration or misrepre sentation could be detected in the reports that meet the eye of the public concerning the distress now existing iu London. It cannot need much reflection to arrive at the conclusion that some decided steps must be taken in order to meet the danger and difficulties before us, and the sooner such a work is begun the better for all parties. Endurance has its limits, and it is idle to expect that we will sit still when cold and want present death to them in its most gtim aspect, and surrounded by its harshest features. The crisis is at band, and it behoves us to prepare to meet it. The chief thing to do is to sink milior considerations in the endeavour to serve the general interests. The people of this country are never really behind hand in any work of importance., and those who have time and means must combine together, or the conse quences will be serious to their poorer brethren and fatal to the interests of society. We have indeed fallen upon evil days, but courage and patience may do much to avert the worst consequences ; only it will not do to lose time in unavailing regrets or useless details. The evil is before us, and it remains for us to do our best, under PROVIDENCE, to over come it. THE manifesto on the state of Ireland and its requirements, issued by the Roman Catholic clergy of the diocese of Limerick, is put forth to the world with considerable solemnity, and will pro bably receive the adhesion of a large propor tion of the Catholic hierarchy of the country. In addition to this claim to a respectful considera tion, it possesses An.other. It proposes one remedy, and only one, for Fenianism and every other Irish grievance. In response to the question bi the British people and the British Legislature, What can we do for Ireland ? Dr. O'BRIE.s . and the other subscribers to this docu ment reply, substantially - , Nothing. Or, to quote their own words : " The very nature of the rem c dies required to make Ireland rich and contented renders it impossible for a British Parliament to adopt and apply them. Home aspirations and the plea for Irish intervention from abroad can never be met unless by restoring Ireland her nationality —re-establishing the Sovereign and the Lords and Commons of Ireland." These words contain the sum of the manifesto. Those who subscribe it be lieve that Ireland is too closely attached to the empire ; that if there were only a personal union in the Sovereign, Ireland having "her own Legis lature and the management of her own resources," she could become prosperous and happy, and "her federal amity be a tower of sireng th to the enii)ire." To the proposal of the clergy of Limerick there is only one alternative. Either the nationality of Ireland must be re-erected, or her identification with the rest of the empire must be made more complete. We it - 1 ine to think that those who have signed this manifesto have assigned too great a power to legislation, and too limited a sphere to the British Parliament. No laws can make Ireland rich. Comparatively speaking, the country is and must remain poor. She has no such exuberant fertility as that of the Western States of America, no such mineral resources as those of Belgium, to enable her to sup port a donee concentrated population such as these countries are fitted for. But good laws will help her to be prosperous ; she is already flourishing, and whatever may have been the case in the past, no legislation of the British Parliament will be purposely inimical to her prosperity. It has ever been the ignis fatuits of those who de manded, as the clergy of Limerick do, " exceptional legislation," to expect too much from it. No exceptional legislation will feed or clothe the population. Ireland has had too much exceptional legislation already. The esta blishment of an alien Church, the destruction of her manufactures and commerce by English laws made for the express purpose, and the subdivision of land resulting from these causes, are the effects of exceptional legislation. '2. hey must be remedied, not by defying political economy and natural justice, but by enforcing both. The Lime. rick declaration seems to regard political economy as the JONAH which must be sacrificed to the ele ments. It would be difficult to say whether dis trust of science or the British Parliament was more apparent. Without a trace of uncharitableness towards the present generation of our statesmen, they are presumed to be unwilling to accept the remedies which Ireland needs. - Becaus'e they arc wedded to political economy they are capable of healing the wounds of Ireland but slightly. THE SUN, 1.0 M) N, SATURDAY EVENING JANUARY 4, 18C8 Noth :lig could Weaken the effect of this manifesto with intelligent men everywhere more than this presumption. It would be as wise, and not less so, to suppose that the. soil of Ireland must riot be treated in accordance with the prin. ciplei of agricultural chemistry. It is, in fact of the T:,est promise for Ireland, as well as for tin rest a the empire, that our legislation is prett3 certai - a to be in harmony with the ascertained prin. ciples which regulate the increase ald distribution of wer.lth, and that the foremost political econo misti in. Parliament and in the country are amongst these prepared to do the most for Ireland. Wheu we assert that the power of the British Parliament is equal to the requirements of Ireland history seems to be against us. In reality it is much in our favour. We have to remember that for centuries there was no attempt to govern Ire land for Ireland's weal. With the statesmen of ELIZABETH it passed into a proverb that the welfare of England demanded that " Ireland must be kept down." In accordance with that senti ment she has been governed. The attempt to promote her welfare is recent ; the rule to treat her as fairly as any other part of the empire came into operation only a few years back. That every remnant of misrule has not been swept away with every remnant of is not wonderful. Abuses that have had the growth of ages are rooted toe deeply to be plucked up in a day. Our friends across the Channel should keep in mind that the power of the English Parliament has no defini tion, no limit. The weakness with which it has dealt with Irish grievances in the past no more bars the way in its dealings with them for the future than its neglect of education in England is a presumption that education will continue to be neglected. There is no other Constitution in the world so obedient to the popular voice, so plastic to the national will, as that of the United King dom. The American Fenians take refuge in the hope of establishing a Republic after the American pattern. We must decline their recommendation, with thanks. We have a political machinery which works out its results with more certainty and with more expedition than a Presidential Government can possibly do. The will of the people here is la* ; no President can restrain it ; and Ireland will possess the power of making her will felt as effec tively- as England or Scotland. It is to this object legislation should now be directed. It is not in independent, but in unclogged political action that the sister island will find a remedy for her evils. Measures must be taken to effect a genuine repre sentation of the national will. The present mem bers for Ireland do not represent Ireland. Intimi dation and turbulence vitiate a large number of the elections. It is notorious that in many con stituencies freedom of the suffrage is unknown to a majority of those who vote. In a great mea sure Parliament has legislated for Ireland in the dark, and the worst of her abuses found the stoutest champions in Irish members. The evil is obvious, but it is not irremediable. Of future things few can be more certainly predicted than that Parliament will insist on the same freedom of popu lar election in Ireland that prevails in Britain. That secured, we believe all else will follow. In short, unless it can be shewn that the interests of England are in the way of Irish reform, which has not been attempted, the only advantage which can be claimed for a separate Irish Legislature is that it would be able to devote more attention to Irish subjects. On the same. plea, Scotland and Wales might ask for separate Parliaments. The experience of all nations is against it. The Americans find •it necessary to restrict and overrule the State Governments. The people of Germany are tending towards centra lisation. The best statesmen of Hungary prefer the Reichsrath to the Diet. And the reason is obvious. Petty legislation has always become the prey of faction. Without at all disputing the pos sibility that - Ireland could govern herself, we can not doubt that as a part of the United Kingdom she will be governed bAtcr. The condition of affairs in the Southern planta tion as described by General GILLEN, Freedmen's Commissioner for Mississippi, is anything but en couraging. We publish today the news brought by the Russia, from New York on Christmas-day, and it will be seen that matters southward are assuming a very serious aspect. The difficulty is not one which takes its origin in political ambition or any interested agitation, but it owes its existence to practical necessities. The planters are unable from the failure of the cotton crop to pay the freed men, who are consequently discontented, and are forming organisations and threatening the public peace. It is no great wonder that they should feel incensed and irritated. They have been told to work for their living and not to rely upon the aid of Government, and yet when they have worked they find themselves without their reward. They may justly complain, that neither are they free from all care for their own provision as in the old days of slavery, nor are they able to provide for their own necessities by the fruits of their own labour. It is only fair while censuring the negroes for the excesses which they are committing, to remember the painful and distressing position in which even those negroes who are willing to exert themselves are now placed by the prevailing scarcity and destitution of the South. On the other hand, the planters can hardly be blamed, for as a climax to their long series of misfortunes the cotton crop has this year fallen far short of the estimate. In Missis sippi, General GILLEM reports that it will, not half realise expectation, and so threatening is the aspect of the negroes that the civil authorities are apprehensive that they will be unable to avert collisions without military aid. General ORD has directed General GILLEM to proceed to Washington in order to represent the starving and discontented condition of the freedmen, and the necessity for devising sime national measure to feed them and avert a war of races. General ORD has commanded the arrest of all able-bodied freedmen who refuse to work, and this is a wise and reasonable measure; only, as we have seen, it will not meet the difficulties of the case, since, even if they work, they are not cer tain to receive payment. In the interior of North Carolina armed bodies of negroes are committing excesses. In Louisiana the Freedmen's Commis sioner has announced that henceforth the agents in that State are only to act as attorneys for negroes in legal disputes in the civil courts. Two perplexi ties arising from the State Conventions are an nounced. In Georgia the State Treasurer has refused to pay the expenses, and in Alabama General POPE has declared that the ordinances passed will not be recognised until the new State Constitution has been ratified. The evils wrought by the Radical policy cannot be undone in a day, however complete the change in public opinion. At the close of the war, when the Southern people accepted Northern government, and the whole oountry was exhausted by the struggle, the efforts of Northern statesmen in the interest of all parties should have been directed to healing the national wounds, rebuilding public credit, restoring confitler,ce, and resuscitating enterprise. Under the best of :management the task would not have been an eas y one, for the Southern States had been for the most part completely desolated by the ruthless armies of the North. Crops and plantations, horaesteals and manufactories, cities and villages load been wasted by fire and sword, and the bloo4 and treasure of the people poured orth with a lavishness that had exhausted the energies of the country. Still, under happier auspices, yyp might by this time be con templating a very different state of things. The influx of Northern capital which would have accompanied the restoration of confidence and tran quillity would have helped to rebuild trade and revive commerce, and the people themselves when they had once roused themselves from the shock of defeat, would have laboured with a will in the re storation of their fortunes. But where there was no security for life, freedom, or property, where the processes of the civil courts were liable to interruption by military orders, there was no chance of a social and commercial revival. The lesson has at last been learnt by the majority of the body politic, but worlds of loss and suffering might have been spared both North and South by the earlier adoption of a more truly national and magnanimous policy. CORRESPONDENCE PROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, FRIDAT, Jan. 3. I commence my letter by writing a curious fact. Isaron Marochetti died at Passy, yet the Paris papers of to-day contain the announcement of the fact in the shape of a telegram from London ! The cold still continues. The thermometer tins morn ing is rather more than nine degrees below freezing point. The announcement has been received that at the request of a high personage, whose name may be left to your readers to guess, the Holy Father has conferred the car dinal's hat on M. Darbois, the archbishop of this city. For those who like romance I give the following. There is a restaurant in the Route de Vincennes, which is kept by a young widow. Ono , of her waiters, named Apo?Hilaire, a few days back ventured to address her in a letter making a formal proposal of marriage, saying that a refusal would be his death. The only answer he received was a summary dismissal from his employment. Two evenings ago he suddenly presented himself before his late mistress whilst she was seated at the comptoir, and saying, " I told you that you would be the cause of my death ; I shall die on the scaf fold !" he took a pistol from his pocket, and pointing it at the woman, drew the trigger, but fortunately the arm missed fire, and he was secured by the police. A letter from Florence informs me that the efforts to form a Ministry have not advanced to a successful issue. I see it stated by L'Etendard that in spite of the reco,g mtion of the union of Northern Germany, the envoys of Saxony, Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Saxe-Weimar, Saxe- Altenburg, Saxe-Meiningcn, the two Mecklenburgs, and the free town of Oldenburg, still retain their posi tions as representatives of those States at the Court of Paris. No less than eight newspapers are accused of furnishing " unauthorised reports" of the debates in the Corps lAgislatif. These are the Temps, the Opinion Nationale, the Avenir National, the Epoque, the Journat de Paris, the Gazette de France, the Intent Public, and the Constitutionnet. The prosecution is really directed. against the leading arti cles, for all the papers in question have published the Governmental reports of the proceedings. M. Pinard seems determined to act with rigour, if not with wisdom, in his new office. Let me give you an illustration of the way in which art collectors may be deceived. In 1864 M. de Nolivo bought at Florence a bust of Girolamo Benivieni, the friend of Pico della Mirandolla and Savonarola, which was exhibited in Paris. It was there pronounced by connoisseurs to be the work of either Minoda Fiesole or Benedetto du Majano, date 1490-1510. When M. de Nolivo's collection was brought to the hammer here last year, the Government paid an enormous price for the bust, which was placed in the Louvre. It now turns out that the work was executed by a living artist residing at Florence, named Giovanni Freppa. Of this there is no doubt. Certificates have been produced in the proper quarters, from Freppa himself, as well as from a sculptor of Florence who saw him model the bust, and a workman in a tobacco manufactory, who declares the bust to be an excellent likeness of a comrade who sat as a model to the artist. The brother of the Tycoon had an interview with the Emperor and Empress this morning. The Prussian Ambassador has left Paris to-day for Berlin. He is expected to return in ten days. The second meeting of the Council of Honour has been held at M. Berryer's. ViscouLt de Kerv6guen requiring another month for the preparation of his defence, the Council has adjourned till the 17th. In the opinion of the Temps, Europe was never in such a position as at present. Public opinion, though enlight ened enough to see the dangers of the future, is not strong enough to avert them. The Debats, judging from the tone of the Austrian press, puts credence in the imminence of a crisis in the East. The Wanderer, of Vienna, argues that Russia must either compromise or lose altogether her prestige in the eyes of the Christian subjects of Turkey, or she must apply the match to the combustibles which she has been accumu lating for many years in the East. The Vienna Official Gazette characterises the statements of a Russo-Prussian alliance against Austria as untruths designedly promulgated. Intelligence has been received from Constantinople to the effect that General Ignatieff had been received by the Sultan in secret audience, a fact which had given rise to considerable discussion. It is also asserted that officers of the Russian staff were engaged prior to the journey of General Bibikoff in taking plans of the Bosphorus and the environs of the capital. The question of the Principalities had been discussed at an interview between the Sultan and the Austrian Ambassador, and a deputation from Monte negro had arrived to ask for the cession on the side of Albania to a territory almost equal to the Principalities. At the time of his death Baron Marochetti was staying with the Countess de Sade, his sister-in-law, at Passy. He was on his way to Brussels, to be present at the marriage of his eldest son. A letter from Alexandria mentions that general conster nation prevails amongst the trading classes. The Govern ment is dismissing its servants, being largely in their debt, and the Treasury is empty. Lord Ranelagh at length formally announces himself as a candidate for the representation of the new borough of Chelsea. Sir Henry Hoare and Mr. Wentworth Dilke have for some time been in the field in the Liberal interest. The return of Mr. Henry Winterbotham as M.P. for Stroud has been celebrated by a dinner. Many of the local Liberals expressed themselves as dissatisfied with Mr. Florsman's political conduct in the present Parliament. Mr. Winterbotham, in reply to the toast of his health, expressed his confidence in the politi. al character and honesty of the new constituency. He fears 1, however, that the operation of the Boundary Commission would in crease the power of the landed proprietors. The hon. member recommended, as a cure for Fenianism, the abo lition of the " standiLg insult to Ireland --the Irish Church." Considerable dissatisfaction has been felt at what has been thought the abrupt conduct of the Colonial Secretary to Sir George Grey, who has been recalled from the gover norship of New Zealand. The John Bull points out that Sir George Grey's term of office had expired. He has not been recalled, but simply not reappointed. However successful in his first governorship of New Zealand and at the Cape, he has, by the admission of all parties, failed at the last to sustain his reputation. A recent letter from "A Briton," in the Times, recom mending the adoption of martial law in Ireland, has attracte.l some attention. The writer argued that Eng lishmen had not dared to give the words full utterance, " because the cruel and cowardly treatment of Mr. Eyre is in their memories. A cowardly Secretary of State, with his dastardly colleagues, gave up to the fury of leagues and conventicles a man who braved all to save Jamaica. The men who now tremble at the undeveloped dangers of Fenianism are haunted by the memory of their own part in that miserable persecution, and dare not ask boldly for that which they know can alone save Ireland." The Star expresses its astonishment that a respectable English journal should venture to give publication to a letter applying the most outrageous epithets to Mr. Cardwell and his colleagues. It maintains that if we cannot by statesmanship cure the Irish distemper, we must prepare for a mighty struggle at no distant period such as America has lately passed through, in which every family must be prepared to sacrifice its best and bravest to defend the supremacy of the English race over a discon tented dependency. The Spectator reminds the Times that it at least sup ported " the cowardly Secretary of State and his das• tardly colleagues." Does it now repent, or fancy that Englishmen repent, of the bare justice they did Jamaica? If so, it is about time that the said ex- Secretary and his colleagues should return to office to save England from bloodthirstiness like that of this silly, slan derous, and anonymous " Briton." The Daily News speaks of the letter in terms of the strongest condemnation. For the sake of English spirit and character, the Telegraph thinks that such a whisper of blind vengeance must meet with stern denunciation. If the civil arm, sustained and obeyed by the military, and fortified by all the loyal and peace-loving millions of this realm, be not enough to save Ireland from her Fenian enemies, till we have time to do her legislative justice, then already she is .lost to us. The Bishop of Capetown is still in London, appealing for funds on behalf of South African missions. At a recent meeting in Lambeth the right rev. prelate said that he considered it a reproach to England that it had done so little for his diocese and the district around. He was anxious to procure more bishops for it, and was collecting money for the purpose. He, however,had notyet obtained any one to take the place of Bishop of Natal. He spoke of Sir George Grey, the ex-Governor of New Zealand, in high terms, and thought the Government had not acted well in recalling him. The Bishop of London has addressed a pastoral letter to his clergy, in which he hints at a change in the conduct of his future confirmations. His lordship, who is in his 57th year, finds that age and hard work are beginning to tell upon him. Therefore, he will be present annually only at a certain number of the principal churches, while Bishop Anderson, the chancellor of St. Paul's, will be his deputy in those cases in which the right rev, metropolitan is un able to appear in person.

MANCHESTER, Jan. 3—Owing to the price of cotton having again somewhat advanced at Liver pool a corresponding advance has been sought in this market for yarns, and higher rates have in many cases had to be given by purchasers. Sellers of cloth have attempted to follow the same course, and have demanded higher prices, but they have found buyers exceedingly unwilling to give them. Many of them are merely willing to repeat the offer made at the beginning of the week, and we hear of very little business effected at all, under the circumstances. Even transactions at the smallest advantage on Tuesday's rates have been on a very limited scale indeed. Manufacturers, however, have assumed a very firm tone indeed, many of them now having long contracts on hand, and not caring to take new engagements at any prices that do not offer a fairer prospect of a profit able return than such as have been obtainable to day. On home trade yarns manufacturers have had to pay an anvance of id. per lb. LEICESTER, 3d.—Trade has been much depressed during the last week, and there seems no desire to commence in earnest until things get more settled. Holiday making has also engrossed considerable attention locally, so that but few mills have com menced work, and we are not aware of any parti cular arrangement having been made for the new year. A general feeling prevails that wools have seen their lowest quotation, and that when the trade does set in there will be a sharp competition. The week has shown a HUN more inquiry for the finer class of wools, such as blue drawings, which support late prices. The lower kinds are not so much in request, and but little is being received from the growers. Advices from Hinckley report the cotton hosiery trade in that district to be of quite an ave rage character for the time of the year. In the elastic trade, taking into consideration that it is the first week after stock-taking, there is a fair demand for boot webs, and manufacturers generally are more fully employed than for some months past. In the boot and shoe branch there is nothing fresh to report, trade not having yet resumed. APOTHECARIES' HALL.—At a Court of Exami ners held on Thursday, the 2d haat., Mr. Thomas San some, of Hill Top, West Bromwich (Birmingham School of Medicine), having passed the necessary examinations, was admitted a Licentiate of the Society of Apothecaries ; and Mr. James Bartlett, of Charin,g-crop; Hospital, passed the first examination. METROPOLIS GAS. The following is an epitome of the bill deposited by the Metropolitan Gas Companies : " After stating in the preamble that the metropo lis is lighted by 13 different companies, each having a special district, and that by the Metropolis Gas Act of 1860 provisions were enacted for the regu lation of these companies, and referring to the pro ceedings of the Select Committee of the House of Commons in 1866 and 1867, which the companies were required to submit to arrangements for amal gamation and further regulation, the bill proceeds to enact (adopting with slight variation the clauses proposed by the Board of Trade last session) that the companies nuy submit to the Board of Trade a scheme for the amalgamation of the companies, or some of them, with a view to the reduction of expenditure, which scheme the Board of Trade may either approve or modify after receiving representa tions from the local authorities, who are defined to be the Commissioners of the Sewers as regards the supply of gas to the city, and the Metropolitan Board of Works as regards the supply to the rest of the metropolis. If the companies do not submit a scheme within six months after the passing of the Act, or do not assent to the modifications of the Board of Trade, the latter may appoint three Com missioners, who are to be invested with all necessary power of obtaining evidence, &c., and are to report a scheme. When a scheme has been confirmed by an order of her Majesty in Council it is to be binding. " The bill then provides for the appointment of a board, to be called The Metropolitan Gas Re ferees,' of whom the Board of Trade is to name one, the local authorities two, and the companies two. This board of five referees is to be continued in office beyond a year, or revived from time to time if the Board of Trade deem it expedient, three being a quorum. The duties of the board are to prescribe the mode to be adopted for testing the illuminating power, and, with regard to purity, they are, after examining the several works and the processes in use by the companies, to prescribe the maximum amount of impurity to be allowed in each form, and to prescribe the mode to be adopted for testing and recording the purity of the gis supplied. The test ing places and apparatus for testing both the illu minating power and purity, which shall be provided by each company, but placed under the manage ment of the chief gas examiner, are also to be pre scribed by the Gas Referees. " Provision is made for the appointment of gas examiners at each testing place by the local autho rities, and of a chief local examiner by the Board of Trade. The gas examiners are to make daily re: ports of their testings of illuminating power and purity to the local authorities, the chief gas exami ner, and the companies. The chief gas examiner is to decide any dispute between the examiners and the companies, but if the companies do not appeal against the examiner's report within seven days it is to be conclusive. Quarterly reports are to be made to the same parties by the chief gas examiner, sta t ing the illuminating power and impuritieson each day For every candle of deficient illuminating power the companies are to forfeit not exceeding 20s. per. 100,000 feet of the gas supplied on the day of de fault from the defaulting station, and for defective purity a sum not exceeding £5O in respect of each station in default. The reports of the examiner or of the chief examiner on appeal are to be conclusive evidence of liability for the issue of the magistrate's warrant of distress. The dividends of the share holders are to be reduced by the amount of the for feitures, and are not afterwards to be made up. The regulations as to the minimum illuminating power of the gas to be supplied and the maximum charge per 1,000 feet to be made to the following effect : " In the month of January in any year the Board of Trade may from time to time be called upon by any company or by local authority to appoint a commission to revise the scale of power and price, who are to fix them for the year so as to be calcu lated to yield to the company with due care and manage:nent a dividend - as near as may be, but in no case exceeding the rate to which the dividends are now limited, and to make up any arrears to which the company is entitled ; but subject to these provisions they are to fix the illuminating power as high and the price as low as circumstances admit. " Until this commission is called into operation the companies submit to a minimum power two candles higher and to a maximum price Gd. lower than the power and price prescribed by the Act of 1860. " The profits are to be limited as at present by the special acts of the companies and the Metropolis Gas Act of 1860, all the shares being restricted to certain prescribed rates of dividend, ranging, from 5 to 10 per cent. " An auditor is to be appointed by the Board of Trade, who is to have extensive powers for the pro tection of the consumer. On the passing of the act he is to examine the accounts of the companies and certify the amount of their share and loan capital, to prescribe.an uniform form of accounts, to audit the half-yearly accounts, and may require any accounts to be corrected which he may con sider incorrect in principle or detail. The ac counts are to he laid before the House of Parliament, and no dividend is to be declared otherwise than in accordance with the certificate of the auditor. The auditor is to have access to all books and documents. All differences between the auditor and the companies are to be settled by arbitration. " To insure an abuudant supply of gas a specified pressure is to be maintained for every private con sumer, with a penalty in default of £lO a day. " The companies are to show the size of all their mains on the maps they are required to furnish to the Clerk of the Peace. " The remuneration of the Commissioners to be appointed under the act, the Gas Referees, of the chief gas examiner, and of the auditor, to be fixed by the Board of Trade, are, together with all ex penses properly incurred by them, to be paid by the companies, as are, of course, the expenses in relation to the passing of the act. " The gas examiners are to be paid by the local authorities." MARKETS—(2 his Day.) COVENT GARDEN.

OSBORNE, Jan. 3. The Queen walked and drove in the grounds yesterday afternoon, attended by the Duchess of Roxburghe, and her Majesty, accompanied by Princess Louise, went out in the grounds this morning. On the afternoon of New Year's-day her Ma jesty gave presents to all the servants of the house hold at Osborne, for whom Christmas trees had been prepared in the steward's room and servant's hail. Her Majesty, accompanied by all the Royal family, proceeded to the rooms at six o'clock, where the servants were assembled, and personally distri buted gifts, assisted by the Princesses, Prince Arthur, and Prince Leopold. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. [lt is with the utmost pleasure that we submit the following to the consideration of our readers— grateful for the glorious past and hopeful of a yet more glorious future for Her Majesty's Theatre under the able direction of Mr. Mapleson.—ED. OF " THE SUN."] All lovers of musical art, and those who know how to appreciate managerial enterprise of the most undaunted kind, whether they are to be found in town or country, are deeply touched, both in the personal and the public sense, at the destruction of Her Majesty's Theatre. It was one of the few public buildings in London to which English people could refer with pride. It is not saying too much to declare that musically, socially, and architecturally it was a model. It was the opera house in fact of England. Every one, whether they expressed or concealed this conviction, entertained the prefer ence privately. And this was, letting alone its maintenance of that high rank, for the reason that the history of Her Majesty's Theatre is that of the history of lyric drama in England. With the noble building, now in ruins, are asso ciated some of the pleasantest memories of English life. We trust, in the public interest, that speedy means will be found to reinstate her Majesty's Theatre in all its former glory, and to recommit it again into the hands of Mr. Mapleson. 'rho ensemble of operatic performances, taking its career as a whole, never was so perfect as Her Majesty's Theatre. To Mr. Mapleson, who has managed the place for the last six years—no slight section of its history —more especially is due the grand merit of gathering with infinite labour and at very great cost, all that Europe could present in the operatic way desirable. His companies have been first rate, his operas superb, his resources for illustration per fect. The old regime of operas has been an Impe rial regime. To Mr. Mapleson is also due the credit of intro 4 ducing to the opera-loving world celebrated artistes whom all wished to hear. He was the first to make known to the musical public, and. to triumph with it, the great, before-rejected work of Gounod, " Faust," which has since made the tour of the globe in various forms. To chefs d'oeuvre of Gounod succeeded works of Verdi, hitherto unheard—to these master-pieces of the colossi of music— Mozart, Cherubini, and others of similar stamp. The Shaksperian musical interpreter, Nicolai, with his " Falstaff," and the com poser • of the English school, Schira, with his " Nicolo de Layi," also found welcome. " Faust" alone made Mr. Mapleson's administration glorious. Curiously enough, Verdi's "Un Ballo in Maschera," always a failure at the rival opera house at Covent-garden, became a genuine success in Mr. Mapleson's hands, when interpreted by the all capable Titiens and the silver-voiced Giuglini. Then, again, in regard to great singers, Mr. son has introduced to us Jima de Murska and Christine Nilsson, both syreus of incomparable power. These are vocalists of the rarest accom plishments. English audiences also, by Mr. Maple son's regardlessness of difficulties and of expense, have been enabled to hear Mdlle. Clara Louise Kel logg, an artiste of extraordinary ability. Kellogg divided with Titiens the recent honours of prima donna when the late " short season" of opera ter minated in the disastrous disappearance (only tem porary) of the grand Her Majesty's Theatre. " Old," now to give place to " New," It is a noteworthy fact that, under Mr. Maple son's management, Her Majesty's Theatre has always been conspicuously strong in that class of bewitching voices which are called contralti. Con tralto singing is the witchery of the art-musical. Now this class of voices has for years past been •the weak point at the Covent-Garden Opera. It is an irretrievable defect for the perfection of Opera. Recently, while the contralto parts at the Royal Italian Opera were in the hands of incompetent people, and the dissatisfaction commensurate, Mr. Mapleson numbered in his operatic ranks at Her Majesty's Theatre, Bettelheim, Grossi, Trebelli- Bettini, Demeric-Lablache, and others of note, though less greatly distinguished. Mr. Mapleson is not, however, alone a London director of Opera. He i 3 a general entrepreneur. Country as well as town have felt the benefits of his management. He has especial claims on the sympathy and on the assistance of provincial lovers of the opera. For has he not brought to their doors all the riches of his establishment? Indeed, if it had not been for Mr. Mapleson, we seriously doubt whether we should ever have had an Italian opera performance of the first class in such centres as Liverpool, Manchester, Dublin, Glas gow, or Edinburgh. Mr. Mapleson's opera was an opera all the year round. He even strength ened his already superlative company by such additions as Gardoni and the Great Mario, im portations from the other opera-house, which esta blishment he knew occasionally how to make sub servient to his interests. And year after year Mr. Mapleson has been the sole, source of supply, so far as opera music is concerned, not only to our principal country theatres, but to our concert-rooms everywhere. We, therefore, speak the national feeling when we say that we heartily deplore Mr. Mapleson's fearful and sudden misfortune. It has been disas trous not only to Mr. Mapleson, but to Titiens, Santley—nay, to every member of his company, both of the stage departments and of the business departments. All members of her Majesty's Theatre have, in some way, grown to seem to us as a sort of personal friends. Our sympathy with all con nected with her Majesty's Theatre is not the selfish assurance that Mr. Mapleson has given first-rate opera in the country. It is deep and sincere. And nowhere will the loss of the theatre be more deplored than in the country towns. Mr. Mapleson can, however, declare with truth, with the French monarch, that " all is lost except honour." That will survive and augment. Fortu nately he is full of energy and spirit, as are his staff and his company. Under these circum stances his fortunes will brilliantly revive. With the best wishes of all lovers of art in its highest form, we trust soon to see Mr. Maplesoa and his people at work again, labouring in the in terest of the public, to retrieve past losses. If en abled to do so, Mr. Mapleson, the representative of her Majesty's Theatre, will keep up the prestige of the magnificent opera, so long the glory of the metropolis, while its successor rises rapidly from the ashes into still more magnificence. At Drury lane Theatre, Mr. Mapleson will, we hope, at th 3 appointed time, be ready with his usual " Opera Season" announcement of 1868. In the succeeding year we trust that we shall ourselves be able to as sist, to use the hackneyed term, at the opening of the New Opera House, even to be superior to the . old Her Majesty's Theatre. That time-honoured, regal building, where, besides previous great lumi naries of the Italian stage, Pasta, Malibran, Son tag, Grisi, Jenny Lind, Titiens, Dina de' Mursks, Nilsson, Kellogg, Rubini, Tamburini, Lablache , Mario, Giuglini, besides a host of minor na mes, have delighted thousands ! But to art and to per' severance united there is no interregnum. "Sa Iliajesti est merle." " Vive Sa Majest6." X( Alarket 'without of yeste with pe the cas Wester] per cen.
