In the south, however, though there has been an increase (amounting at Yarmouth to half an inch since six p.m ), a rapid de crease has recommenced, which is greatest at the entrance of the Channel. Pressure is much more uniform than it has been of late, but there is a difference of half an inch between Rochefort and Penzance. Temperature has remained nearly the same. A heavy gale from the westward was felt yesterday on the Channel coast and on the S.E. coast of England. At the entrance of the Channel the wind has backed, and is blowing from the south-eastward, On the Scotch coast there is a clear sky, but in the west it is cloudy, and rain is falling in the south. Heavy rain, with thunder and lightning, is reported from stations on the Channel coast. The weather continuo very unsettled, especially in the south. The sea is rather high at Plymouth.

A child aged twenty months, the daughter of Charles Parsons, barber, Richmond-road, Bank, drank from a bottle some carbolic acid, which had been used for disinfecting purposes by the child's mother, and died soon after from the poison. The coroner's jury, whilst returning a verdict of accidental death, censured Mrs. Parsons for not keeping dangerous chemical in some place of perfect security. The " Countess of Derwentwater" is now prepar ing for a new trial at London, to set aside the decision of the magistrates at Ilexham as to "her ladyship being an obstruction on the 'highway." We understand that Mr. Mellish, Q.O , has been retained to watch the case on b: half of her ladyship. The illness of her ladyship caused by the fatigue and wet, whilst encamped at Dilston, is quite gone. She occupies her time in arranging the "family papers" for a fresh start for the recovery of her estates. A disgraceful case of sacrilege is reported 'roil Rochdale. The Church of St. Mary's was highly decorated for the Christmas festivities, which appears to have given offence, for on the conclusion of one of the services, some person remained behind and tore down the banners and flowers decorating the altar, broke up and scattered on the floor two immense candles, tore the altar cloth, and carried away two large Lrass candlesticks and a brass vase with the inscription upon it " 1.11.5,"_ No trace of the perpetratm BLITISI FIJIIIIII-TWO O'OLOOK.

INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH- STREET. A CAB PROPRIETOR COMMITTED FOR SHAMEFUL CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—NIGHT CAB HORSES.--Jas. Fisher, a cab proprietor, living at Retreat-place, Homerton, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following cruelty to a horse : An officer of the Royal Society for the Preven tion of Cruelty to Animals watched the case. From the evidence of Sergeant Bentley, 13 C, it appeared that at 3 o'clock that morning he saw the prisoner driving a horse attached to a four-wheel cab in Oxford-street, and as the prisoner was flogging it in an unnecessarily and cruel manner he stopped him and examined the horse. The sergeant found that the inside of the thigh and the tail were bleeding, and that there were spots of blood on the whip. Th 3 animal's shoulder was very sore, and the coronet of one of the fore feet was cut through. Barns, the ga3ler, said the horse could scarcely stand—in fact, was only fit for the knacker. Mr. Tyrwhitt supposed it was the sort of horse taken out at nights. The only answer the prisoner made to the &large was that another of his . horses had bitten its shoulder. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner had not the same excuse as a driver might have had, as he was a proprietor. He considered the prisoner a cruel man, and it was a great pity that the cat was not inflicted on his own back. The prisoner would have to pay 40s. or a month. THAMES. STEALING £5OO WORTH OF COCHINEAL.—:Norris Myers, George Stevens, and Frederick Jefferies, charged with being concerned in stealing 24 bags of cochineal, the property of Walter Hartley, bonded carman, of Lower Thames-street, were brought up on remand. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution. Another man named Storey, in the service of Mr. Hartley, was originally charger] with being con cerned in stealing a horse, van, and 21 bags of co chineal five weeks ago. He was admitted as a witness for the Crown, and briefly deposed that while he was taking his tea in a coffee-shop in Le man-street, Whitechapel, his horse and cart, with the cochineal, were driven away. The empty cart was discovered in Stratford unattended the same evening. Several witnesses, police-constables, and others, proved that the prisoners Myers, Stevens, and Jef fries had been dealing with the stolen cochineal, and that they had sold a bag of it to a man named Hall, porter to a druggist, who acted under the directions of the police. The prisoners intimated to Hall that there had been a robbery of 24 bags of cochineal, and he offered to buy the whole of it. One bag only was sent to him, and two more were promised to be forwarded to him. He paid the prisoners £lO, but he never received more than one bag of cochi neal. Smart, a City detective officer, said that Hall acted entirely under his directions, and was re quested to offer 2s. 6d. per lb. for one bag of cochi neal and is. 3d. per lb. for the whole bulk. After some observations from Mr. NVontner, jun., and Mr. Gomtn in favour of Jefferies and Storey, the three prisoners were committed for trial. WESTMINSTER. AN UNIATUKY MISTAKE.—George flelens, a tall young man, was charged with assaulting Victor Didon, a very quiet-looking Frenchman, hardly understanding sufficient English to render himself intelligible. Complainant said that at five last evening on his way to Chelsea to visit a friend, he was ill treated by the defendant, who came up and struck him two or three times in the face, and bruised it very much. Mr. Arnold inquired what he had done to the defendant before he struck him. Complainant replied that he had done nothing, that he had not given the slightest provocation of any description. Defendant said that they were in the Compasses tavern together, and had some worth, and on their leaving the complainant pushed him down in the gutter. Complainant declared that it was all a mistake. He had never been in any public house, nor had any difference with any one. He was quietly walk ing along when he was attacke i, as he described. Charles Cox, 210 B, said that he found the corn plainant bleeding from the mouth, and took defen dant into custody. Ile found, on inquiry, that defendant was wrong about complainant being in the publichouse. Defendant was partially intoxi cated. Mr. Arnold said he would give no credit for hav ing been attacked by somebody else, and having made a mistake in supposing it was complainant. He committed him for 14 days. THE LA7E SIR RICHARD MAYIVE. Steps are being taken by the police to erect a memorial in memory of the late Sir Richard Mayne, Chief Commissioner of Police, the following appli cation having been submitted to the assistant Com missioners yesterday :—" We, the undersigned, of the Metropolitan Police, have heard with deep regret the death of Sir Richard Mayne, and are desirous of testifying our esteem and veneration of bis character and uprightness in the discharge of his public duty. We therefore beg the authority of the assistant com missioners to open a subscription in each division for the purpose of raising a testimonial or monu• ment to his memory with the sanction of his family. The amount subscribed by each member of the force not to exceed one day's pay of the rank he holds, nor to be less than one shilling. The form of monument to be decided hereafter." The assistant commissioners replied to the above by expressing their entire concurrence in the pro position to raise a monument to the memory of their esteemed and valued chief. THE LATE GALES. WORTHING, Dec. 28. Yesterday morning a vessel, which turned cut to be the brigantine Hilena, 170 tons, from St. John's, Newfoundland, was observed off Worthing with signals in her rigging for assistance (writes W. H. Dennett, Esq.). A gale from the south west was blowing, and there was a very heavy sea on at the time. In a short space of time the Worth ing lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution, the Jane, was afloat, and the Hilena was quickly reached. Four of the crew of the lifeboat were then put on board the vessel, and she was safely taken into the port of Shoreham. ABERYSTWITII, Dec. 28. The following additional particulars of the ser vices on Christmas-eve of the Evelyn Wood life boat, belonging to the National Institution, are now forwarded by Mr. John Williams : —He states that after the crew of three men of the smack Castle had been rescued by the lifeboat, and when the state of the tide permitted, efforts were made to save the vessel if possible. Six men were accordingly placed on board, and they endeavoured, with the help of those on shore, to get the vessel in, but it soon became evident that their efforts were ineffectual. In rescuing the men from the wreck, which was fast breaking up, the crew of the lifeboat had to use almost superhuman efforts. The swollen state of the river, on account of a high flood and the fearful breakers on the bar, made it a work of extreme danger, and before the whole of the men could be brought from the wreck the lifeboat had to make three unsuccessful attempts, during which one of the crew fell into the sea, and before he could be picked up had to battle for his life for nearly a quarter of a hour, for oars were broken, the cox swain's hand fearfully smashed, and one man left clinging to the rigging until dawn before , he could be rescued from his perilous position. The inesti mable value of the lifeboat, which was also slightly damaged, and the well-tested mettle of her crew, were never before so clearly exhibited ; all concur in awarding praise to both. SUICIDE OF A TRADESMAN.—Mr. Win. Robinson Holmes, a grocer, of New-road, Newcastle, was found hanging by the neck in a store-room, on Friday last. He had been missing since Wednesday. The deceased, who was about 12 year of aip, had Won in a desponding mood for oomo time. FINCI-ILEY RACES—Yesterday. METROPOLITAN PLATE.

THE GALES. PLYMOUTH, Dec. 28. A heavy W.S.W. gale has been raging here during the night and this morning, and appears to be increasing. The Greenock barque Cabot, Cap tain Ritchie, from the Baltic, with deals, for Bristol, was lying in the Sound with both anchors down. She parted one anchor last night and the other this morning, and while drifting to leeward fouled and carried with her the brig Flying Cloud, Captain Evans, of Bideford, from Pernambuco, with sugar for orders. Both vessels went on the Batten Reef, and are expected to prove total wrecks. Assistance was promptly rendered, and every endeavour was made to get them off with the rising tide, but the sea was running too high. The wife and child of the captain of the Cabot were brought ashore by the gig of the barque's agents, Messrs. Fox, Son, and Co. The crews of both vessels were also rescued. The lifeboat was early in attendance. 7ERRIBLE DISASTER A 7 SEA. ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-TWO LIVES LOST. A portion of the passengers and crew of the Starry Banner steamship, trading between New York and Alexandria, has arrived in London, and reports the total loss of that vessel with 122 lives in a great storm on the 21st of December, some 700 miles off the coast of Ireland. It appears that shortly after getting into the Atlantic on her voyage home to New York the Starry Ban ner experienced very rough weather. After battling with it for several days it was thought advisable to seek a port of shelter, and Captain Summers accordingly ran for Southampton. That port was reached in safety, and, after a short stay there and some appearances of a more propitious state of weather, the Starry Banner once more steered out into the Atlantic on the 14th inst. She had not, however, ben long at sea iu this second at tempt when she experienced a succession of the most violent gales, extending over a week, and culminat ing in the loss of the vessel and the greater portion of those on board her. Great alarm was felt on board from the commencement of the bad weather, as the vessel was known to be old, and suspected to be not over sound, and also because the winds and waves were violent beyond the experience of the oldest sailors on board. On the 19th of Dec. the storm increased in intensity, and the waves swept over the vessel as if she were a mere log, carrying away or rendering useless the lifeboats. On the 20th the hurricane redoubled its fury, and all hope for the safety of the vessel was dissipated by the yielding of the bow plates to the fearful blows of successive waves. The fate which this made ine- vitable was anticipated to a great many by a fearful catastrophe on board shortly afterwards. The great number of those on board, passengers and crew, were assembled in and about the saloon, as the only place where a little shelter could be secured. Suddenly a series of waves of the same character as those which had already smashed the bows, struck the saloon, smashed it into atoms, and washed it, and the greater part of those who had assembled within it, into the raging sea. A rough estimate—the time not being one for even counting the dead and mis3ing—places the loss of life caused by this occur. rence at 100. The shrieks of the victims of this in cident, as they struggled amid the boiling and angry waters amid floating wrecks, were ap palling. A young officer of the United States army—cavalry branch—nobly distinguished him self at that moment. Casting aside a portion of his clothing, and tearing away from the sailors and others who endeavoured to restrain him in what they looked upon as absolute madness, he plunged into the sea, and by his skill as a swimmer saved a number of lives by bringing the drowning people within reach of assistance from the deck. This gentleman's name is Major H. Joy. By this time the vessel was rapidly breaking up, and the remainder of the passengers and crew took to rafts which had been hastily put together, leav ing the risking vessel to her fate. So hurried were their movements that no water or provisions could be secured, and in that helpless and unpro vided state they were obliged to trust themselves to the mercy of the Atlantic. The captain, three mates, with 118 others, had perished ere this, and the re mainder, under the command of the chief officer, Mr. J. Van Buren', were buffetted about in a very hopeless state for three nights and two days, when, on the 23d inst., they were picked up by a French barque, and on Sunday morning landed at Bou logne. In all 42 persons, out of a company of 164, were safely landed in France after enduring great sufferings and the constant terror of an ever threatening death on board the rafts. With reference to the loss of the vessel we have received the following direct contradiction from a correspondent : " Lloyd's, E.C., 29th Dec., 1868. " The loss of the Starry Banner, steamer, in the Atlantic, reported this morning in most of the daily journals, is believed to be a hoax. No information of the character has been received at Lloyd's, and on reference to the American Lloyd's of shipping no such steamer as the Starry Banner can be found ; and letters received from their agent from Boulogne, up to 12 o'clock last night, make no allusion to 42 of the survivors having lauded at that port on Sunday.
