SAMBRE AND MEUSE RAILWAY. The third half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate street.. 'William Parry Richards, Esq., President, in the chair. The SECRETARY read the report, which stated, inter gall.; that the works had been, during the last half-year, advancing with vigour. At the present time, akr..ll. 3,000 men are employed on them , the greater portion en the first section of the line, which it was the great object Hof the directors to open at the earliest possible moment. In order to adapt the railway to more extended traffic than was at first calculated upon, Monsieur Do Grandvoir, the engineer in chief, had, from approved plans and sections, by great and unremitting exertion, completed a careful and detailed estimate of the cost of the entire line. His estimate results in a sum of 23,000,000 francs, or 92,0001., including 64,000 L, originally estimated for carrying stock, for which latter item it will be prudent to add a further sum of 80,0001., to keep pace with the extraordinary development of the traffic of the district; and when the original project was compared with that under execution, taking into account the large quantity of land required for the double line, the greater extent of station ground, the conversion of the branch lines from horse-power to locomotive, the larger bridges and works of art, the ad ditional quantity of rails and chairs for the double line, and, finally, the heavier earthworks to which the im provement effected in the curves and gradients through out the line will give rise, looking at all these important changes, the additional cost of 300,0001., which was the difference between that originally contemplated and M. de Grandvoir's estimate, was not matter of surprise. Arrangements had been made with the contractors which would render it unnecessary to deal with the question of raising the increased capital required until after October, when the first portion of the line would be opened for traffic. The funds in hand, with calls payable during the present year, will suffice to open and stock the first section, enable the directors to ad vance th e wor k s sout h o f alcourt, and to complete the whole of the land purchases for the main line and branches, a point of great importance. From a statement prepared by M. Magis, the Government engineer, and derived from authentic sources, the amount of traffic was expected to produce a return of 180,147/., from which if they deducted 501. per cent., or e',),073/., for working expenses, there would be left a balance of 90,0; 31., or 91. per cent. on the contemplated expendi ture of 1,000,0001. sterling. The prospects of the under taking were most satisfactory, and the directors were convinced that the traffic on the first section would exceed the ordinary results obtained from partial openings, and bear out their anticipations of the whole ; but some idea might be formed of them from the report which the directors had obtained from Mr. Thomas Bonehill, of Marchiennes, an Eng lish ironmaster, in connexion with one of the principal works in the vicinity of Charleroi ; and ho calcula'e 1 the quantity of coal, coke, and iron ore, which would ;necessarily come upon the first section of the railway, at nearly 1,000 tons daily. Looking at all the circum stances of the case, the directors were confirmed in their opinion of the solid merits of the undertaking. The calls made on the proprietors had been answered with great regularity, and the Belgian Government had shown its entire confidence in the proceedings of the company, by returning three-fifths of the caution money origi nally deposited. The statement of accounts show that 237,4601. las. 3d. had been received, and 107,424/. IBs. 7d, expended, leaving a balance of 130,035/. 15s. Bd., 43,040/, of which was deposited with the Belgian Go vernment. The report and statement of accounts, on the motion of the chairman, seconded by Mr. Flood, having been adopted, a vote of thanks was passed to M. De Grand voir for his able engineering services. A similar com pliment having been paid to the Chairman and the Board of Directors, the meeting separated. THE CITY OF LONDON LIFE ASSVIZANCE SOCIETY. The proprietors held their first annual meeting on Wednesday last, at the London Tavern, in Bishopigate street. The meeting was very fully attended, and the Rev. CHARLTON LANE, M.A., having been called to the chair, stated at length the various steps taken by the board to plac e th e a ff a i rs o f th e soc i e ty i n a p os i t i on t o merit the flattering encouragement and gratifying sup port it bad received from its friends 500 the public. The directors had already granted 187 policies, the annual premiums on which amounted to 2,3001., and the board had declined 24 proposals, for an aggregate sum of 16,050/.; thus the total number of proposals to the board within the last year was 211. A vote of thanks to the directors for their highly satisfactory and efficient management was then unani mously passed, the mover remarking that he had been at some pains to ascertain the experience of twenty-five of the leading old life offices, and he could assure the meet ing that the City office had effected its full average share of business in its first year. Colonel ItowLAND, R.A., returned thanks for him self and his colleagues in the directory. Dr. BENNETT, the Physician of St. Thomas's Hos pital and of the society, in acknowledgin g the vote of thanks to the medical officers, which followed, offered some very pertinent remarks on the constitution and prospects of the Society, and observed that no death had yet taken piece among the assured. Mr. J. M. ItAiNnow, the society's Consulting Actuary, congratulated the society on the gratifying and encou raging state of their affairs. lie could speak with some little authority in these matters from an active experi ence of twenty-five years in the working of life effiet s. Mr. G. FARRANCE responded to a vote of thanks to himself awl brother auditors. Enc)uraging as the number of policies issued the first year was, he consi dered it only as an instalment of what may be effected during the current year, when the sc, , ei,t)'s 220 local agencies, recently established, would come into operation. lie would impress upon all interested in the society the value and importance of their personal exertions. A cordial and unanimous vote of thanks was then passed to Mr. Leeks, the Secretary, for his exertions as the originator and the zealous and indefatigable promoter of the interests of the society. G. DOWDESWELL, Esq., barrister, then addressed the meeting at some length and with much effect, dwelling strongly on the special advantages and c,:nvenien ces o f thg accumulative assurance system, introduced by this society. It was then resolved that a dividend of four per cent. on the subscribed capital should be paid, leaving the question of increased interest to another year. The retiring directors and auditors were then unani mously re-elected, and other routine business having been gone through, concluding with a cordial vote of thanks to the Rev. Chairman tor his gratifying conduct in the chair, the meeting separated. MARRIAGE IN HIGH morning, at St. Paul's Church, Knightsbridge, Maurice _Drummond, Esq., was married by special license to the Lion. Adelaide Lister, daughter of the live and sister to the present Lord Ribblesdale. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. William Bennett. There were present Lord John Russell, Lord Ribbl-sdate, Mr. and Mrs. Grove, and Mr. Charles Drummond. Lady John Russell was prevented by indisposition from attending at the -church. DEATH OF MR. CRIPPS, LATE M.P. FOR CIREN CESTER.—We have to record the death of another ve teran legislator, Joseph Cripps, Esq., late M.P. for Cir encester, who died on the Bth inst., at Ashcroft, near that town, aged 81. Tn 1907 he was elected for Ciren cester, and continued to represent it until 1841, when he retired, and was succeeded by his son, one of the present Members. When England was threatened by a French invasion, this gentleman commanded a body of volun teers. HIGHLAND DESTITUTION.—The collection made on Sunday last for the destitute Highlanders, in the Scotch Church, Crown -court, Covent-garden, after a sermon by the Rev. Dr. Cumming, amounted to the laeral sum of 3061. ls. sd. RAIN IN LONDON.—The metereological register kept at the gardens of the Horticultural Society at Chis wick, for the last six years, from 1841 to 1846 inclusive, gives the total quantity of rain as 151.14 inches, b e i ng an annual average of 2 - 5.19 inches. Of these seasons the greatest quantity of ruin fell in 1841, being 30.97 inches, and the least in 1844, when there was but 2134 inches ; the others being in order, according to quantity, 1846, 21.71 inches ; 1843, 25.4 a ; 1845, 23.33 ; and 1842, 22.31 inches. The most rainy month in the whole period was October, 1845, when the quantity that fell was 5.54 inches ; the next being in May, 1843, when there was .5.26 inches ; whilst the least was April, 1842, when the quantity was only 0.15 inch. RESPONSIBILITY OF HOTEL-KEEPERS.—An inte resting cause, as regards the responsibility of hotel keepers for the property of persons living in their hotels, was decided three days ago by the Royal Court of Amiens. In the month of June, 1840, Mr. Arthur Har ris, a London jeweller, arrived from Paris, where he had purchased some diamonds, at the Hotel du Nord, at Boulogne, of which M. Mulberghe is the proprietor. Whilst there he gave some clothes to one of the cham b,:f ir t r_ na id, to get brushed, and they were brushed by one he pertera named Mezier.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EV,ENING, JANUARY 12, 1847. FREEMASONRY and the PRESENT DISTRESS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Permit me through the instrumentality of your widely-circulated journal, to remind my brethren, the freemasons of England, that it behoves them in the pre atht time of extraordinary distress, to do something for its alleviation. I would suggest that a collection be made iu every lodge on their next meeting night. In a society so extensive and so well to do in the world, I feel certain the call upon their charity would be responded to in a manner worthy of the principles on which the order is founded Tho popular world seeing their good works, will then believe that masonry is indeed something more than a name.

SUFFOCATION OF A HousE.—At the Chelmsford petty sessions, on Tuesday last, Edward Bentley, of Runwall, knacker, was charged with killing a horse, the property of Mr. Thomas Stock, of East Hanningfield. Mr. Duffield, solicitor, of Chelmsford, appeared in support of the charge. From the evidence adduced, it appeared that on Monday night James Mason, a labourer, in the employment of Mr. Stock, and who lives at his farm, had been attending his club, about four miles distant, and on his return home, about twelve o'clock, when within a few rods of his master's yard, he heard a groan, and on getting over the gate into the yard he saw the prisoner kneeling down close to the horse's head, and on calling out to him the prisoner immediately jumped up and ran off so quickly that Mason could not stop him. Mason then went and procured a light, and on going into the shed found the horse dead, and four pieces of hay twisted up very tight, and a halter lying close to the horse's head. Mason then went and called up his master, who lived half a mile from the farm, and also a neighbour, who proved finding the horse dead and the pieces of hay and halter as described. The witnesses stated that from the shape of the hay found, and also from the fact of their being clamp, they believed them to have been forced up the nostrils of the horse, and which, with the assistance of the halter, had produced suffocation.

FALL OF AN AEROLITE.—The inhabitants of Min dethal, in Bavaria, were scared from their Christmas festivities and yule-logs on the 25th ult., by the unex pected arrival of an aerial visitant. I'Ve subjoin a tex tual recital of this meteorogical phenomenon from the Augsburg Gazette. "On Christmas-day, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, a noise was heard in the environs of Min dethal, in a circumference of at least 18 leagues diameter, resembling, in the first instance, a distant cannonade. After 20 almost uniform discharges, this noise changed to a rumbling, the sounds of which strikingly resembled those of a kettle-drum, tuned in F, and ended with sounds like those of distant trumpets. The whole phenomenon lasted about three minutes, and was heard in the same manner throughout the entire district, Every auditor imagined that he heard the noise over his head, but nothing was seen explanatory of the pheno menon. In the village of Schoneuburg, however, west ward of Mindethal, several persons remarked, above the houses, a black ball rapidly descending, and a man saw this ball fall into a garden. The news of the event was soon spread abroad, and all the inhabitants, aban doning their firesides and family festivities, ran to the spot pointed out. They found an opening in the earth which emitted a sulphurous vapour. On digging with great zeal a stone was discovered two feet below the sur face, in the form of an irregular, truncated pyramid, with four narrow lateral surfaces, and a fifth somewhat wider ; the base is smooth enough. The summit is prismatic, and the corners rounded. It weighs almost 8 kilogrammes (441 b. and upwards). Its dimensions are 8 inches in height, 7 in breadth, and 3 in thickness This stone bears marks of volcanic origin, and resem bles a grunstein (greenstone). The fracture is grayish t n a i ll i i t c e, fr s a p g o m tte e ( n l t " s 'i n t ' ll er w e h re it m e' ar a k n e d d s o e n ve i r ts a l s n e r r ,a s c t e a , l e l i s z p e e d ci m al%; some n etize d o c n t o e e h d e I d e r . a 1 I crystals of in ho ught r whicho that oth a e t r tr s a i e ni t i i t a h r e g t in ° a n g e E have fallen in the vicinity, but hitherto none have been discovered. TILE ORDER OF QUEEN ISABELLA, THE CATHOLIC. —lt is a curious fact, says one of our contemporaries, that the Order of Elizabeth the Catholic, which has jnst been conferred by the Queen of Spain on Baron Anselme de Rothschild, of Frankfort, was founded in honour of the expulsion of the Moors and Jews. OMNIBUS ROBBERY.—Yesterday information was forwarded to the metropolitan and city police that a lady named Blencorn, residing at Chelsea, whilst riding in ar omnibus which plies between Chelsea and the City, dis covered, on her arrival at the Bank of England, that she had been robbed of her purse, containing ten sovereigns The Earl of Verulam has given the munificent do nation of 1,5001. towards the endowment and building of the proposed new c h urc h at Lav i stoc k- green , St. Al s. The Noble Earl has also given a piece of land as the site for the church. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, WORSHIP-STREET A well-dressed man, named Austin Montrose, stated to be a returned transport, was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged with having burglariously en tered the premises of Mr. Joseph Berdoe, an extensive clothier in Goswell-street-road, and stolen property to the amount of upwards of 300/., and also on suspicion of having broken into the house of Messrs. Huf ham and %STestaway, tailors in the City-road, and stolen cloth and other property of nearly the same value. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Berdoe that on the night of the 23d of November last his premises were entered by some burglars from the rear, and a large quantity of cloth and fancy good s t o t h e a b ove amount carried away. He immediately gave informa tion to the police, and, in consequence of a communi cation he had received that morning from Servant Brannan, he repaired to the shop of a pawnbroker in the Hackney-road, where a cloak and other a r ti c l es o f d ress were exhibited to him, which he immediately recog nized as having formed a small part of th e pro d uce o f the burglary upon his premises. He could unhesi tatingly swear to the cloak, altlieugh it had been much altered, from having worn it for several years. Sergeant Brannan stated, that in consequence of re ceiving information which indirectly implicated the pri sorer in this and several ()Thor robberies of a similar description, he went on the preceding evening to a house in Martha-street, Hagg . erst one, where he f oun d th e pri soner in bed, and took him into custody. He afterwards searched the place, and, on examining the drawers, dis covered several duplicates, three of which related to the cloak and other articles of apparel since identified by the prosecutor, and also a complete set o f h ouse b rea ki ng implements of a very superior and ingenious construc tion. On removing him to the station-h ouse t h e pr i soner was recognised as having been connected with another robbery of large extent, to establish which he should call William Hill, shopman to Messrs. Hufham and West away, who stated that on the 21st of October, 1845, the prisoner, who was very respectably attired, entered his employers' shop, and asked for a pair o f s t raps; t h ey were unable to supply him with them, and he went away, but returned twice afterwards, the last ti me accompan i e d . by a well-dressed man deep mourning, who imme diately took up his station at the furth es t en d o f t h e counter. On handing the prisoner the strap s he re quested the witness to adjust them to his trousers, and while so doing the other man, whom he noticed to have been looking about him, abruptly quitted the shop; upon which the prisoner, who displayed a fidgetty nervous ness, suddenly rose, and, although he had only one of the straps on, instantly hastened after his companion. As soon as they left witness missed a piece of velvet and a roll of cloth from the counter and window, of the value of 101., and hurried out in pursuit, but both men had disappeared. On the Bth of December following he saw the prisoner and two other men suspiciously eyeing the shop through the . window, but on seeing they were watched by the witness they instantly ran away ; and two nights subsequently the premises were broken into, and cloth and other articles of the value of between 2001. and 3001. were stolen. Every effort had been made to recover the stolen property, but none of it could be traced, and although his suspicions rested upon the pri soner, whom he could positively identify as the man who was present when the first robbery was committed, and saw examining his employers' premises through the window just before they were burglariously entered, he had been unable to catch sight of him until he identified him that morning at the police-station. Mr. Vann, who appeared for tlse prisoner, expressed his intention to reserve the defence for the present, as he presumed it was the magistrate's intention to remand his client upon two of the charges, although no evidence, he contended, had been adduced to implicate the prisoner in the latter burglary ; and Mr. BROUGIITON, who expressed an opinion that the circumstances against the accused were of a very strong nature, ordered him to be brought up again next week for the completion of the evidence. THAMES. Martin New, a tall Irishman, a brick-maker, who car ried a fine child about two years old in his arms, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged by Mr. John Hughes, the relieving officer of the Whitechapel Union, with creating a disturbance in front of his house on Sunday morning. The prisoner's wife was also charged with in her hus band, but about an hour before he was placedthe dock she was taken in labour in the police cell, adjoining the court. Mr. Hughes was no sooner made acquainted with her condition than he sent a messenger to the workhouse for a nurse and some blankets. He also pro cured the immediate attendance of Mr. Falconer, divi sional surgeon of police, under whose care the woman was safely delivered of a fine boy, who, with the mother, is likely to do well. A cab was procured, and the woman and her child were sent to the workhouse. Mr. Hughes having seen the poor woman properly taken care of and Provided with every comfort her situation required, pre ferred his charge against her husband. Mr. Hughes stated that on Sunday morning he gave an order to the man and his wife for their admission into the workhouse as casual poor. An hour afterwards they returned again with the order, and demanded other re lief. He informed them he was not at liberty to do any thing more for them, on which they made a great dis turbance in front of his house, and caused a mob to as semble. He was therefore under the necessity of giving them into custody. The wife, who had just become a mother, was the worst of the two, and her language and threats were dreadful. The prisoner said he objected to enter the workhouse with his wife, where he should be separated from her, because he had a sufficient taste of it on Saturday night, after Mr. Hughes had given him and his wife an order for a night's lodging. The place he was in was very wet and cold, the floor was sloppy, and it would be the death of him to go to such a place again. Mr. Hughes said he gave the man and his wife 31b. of bread on Saturday evening, and an order for their admission into the workhouse. The woman was lodged in the receiving ward, the i most comfortable in the work house, and her husband u the casual ward, which was dry and well ventilated, -and by no means deserved the description given of it. Mr. YARDLEY said the prisoner's conduct was very reprehensible, and he appeared to be a dissatisfied man, who would not receive with cheerfulness the provision made for him by the public bounty. He had endangered the life of his wife by his foolish cond uc t. He would advise the prisoner to alter his behavio ur , or h e wou ld get into trouble, and find his way to a prison; but as he was the lesser offender of the two he would su ff e r him to depart. He should also discharge the case against the wife, and was glad so much attention had been paid to her. COURT OF ALDERMEN. - - Yesterday being Plough Monday, a Court was held for receiving the presentments of the several ward in quests, and for swearing in the constables. The Foreman of Bishopsgate ward made a present ment in which there was reference to a number of non freemen, who carried on trades to the prejudice of the freemen. He begged to call the attention of the Court to that fact, which in his opinion, was an inroad upon the constitution of the city of London. Several years ago he had paid between 301. and 401. for his freedom, and if parties were allowed to carry on trades in the City without having submitted to that process, the in terest and principal were his property, instead of being converted to the use of the Corporation. The subject of complaint was one of a very serious nature, for it was excessively hard that the man next door to a freeman should derive all the advantages of a citizen without hav ing contributed anything whatever as a counterpoise. The LOAD MAYon said the subject was under the consideration of the Court, and would certainly receive their most attentive consideration. The Foreman of the Inquest of Coleman-street ward, in making a presentment, begged to be informed whether the duty of an inquest-man was a compulsory duty? He made the inquiry, because all the inquest of the ward he represented had to do was to go about begging for the poor, and he thought that office might be transferred to persons who had not their various occupations to at• tend to. The LORD MAYOR—It iS a compulsory duty certainly. Alderman WILSON said if the foreman would read the charge, he would find that the inquest had a very im portant duty to perform, and that there was nothing at all about begging in it. The Foreman—We are tired of going to the top of stories of houses for nothing, and would rather pay to be excused the performance of a duty which is, after all, a mere nullity. A gentleman has refused to serve on the inquest, what are we to do about him? Alderman WILSON said that in his ward a gentleman who refused to serve had been ordered to be prosecuted by the City solicitor, and he soon afterwards came for ward and offered to pay the penalty incurred, and to serve next year. The LORD MAYOR, having learned the name of the recusant, stated that he should be summoned, and if an adequate explanation was not made, the necessary pro ceedings would be adopted. The Foreman of Cripplegate-Within Ward made a presentment complaining that non-freemen carried on business in that ward. Alderman CHALLIS (the Alderman of the ward) said there were an hundred people keeping shops in that ward who would hale voted at the last election, but they were not free. Another Member of the Court said if that was the case there would be no constituents at all. THE COMMON COUNCIL RETURN OF FARRINGDON WITHOUT WARD. The Foreman of the Farringdon Without Ward made presentment, to which was annexed a petition against the return of Messrs. Lyas and Obbard as Common Councilmen for that ward, upon the ground that they were not qualified as resident householders. The peti tion stated that the two persons whose names ought to have been returned were Mr. Harding and Mr. Carpenter, and prayed that Counsel .might be heard before the Court upon the subject. Referred to the next Court, and intimation was given that due notice of the day on which the appeal should be heard would be given to the parties interested. SANATORY REGULATIONS REQUIRED. The Foreman of the precinct, Mary of St. Dunstan's, made a presentment against certain old houses in Fetter lane, belonging to the City of London, which were made depositories of filth to the great shame and injury of the neighbourhood, and other house sin the same vicinity in which the lives of the crowded inhabitants were in constant danger on account of the enormous accumula tion of offensive matter in and about them. It also re lated to dilapidated houses. Sir JAMES DUKE (the Alderman of the ward) said there was abundant medical evidence to show that the densely crowded state of the neighbourhood, and the want of sewage, produced fever to an alarming extent, in close localities, to which the presentment alluded. The dangerous state of other houses, as regarded the building of them, should be also particularly alluded to by the Court of Aldermen. The LORD MAYOR said the Livery ought to apply, in the case of the apprehended fall of any house, to the district surveyor. He should himself take care that the other matters alluded to in the presentment should be attended to. The City Solicitor said, that in consequence of the recent alteration in the law, any person who appre hended danger from a building, could apply to the dis trict surveyor, and at once oblige him to move in the business. Alderman JOHNSON said a vast deal of the filthy nuisance spoken of in the presentment was attributable to the neglect of draining those narrow and closely po pulated places, for great care and pains had been taken to make the most extensive and efficient sewers. He considered that it would be a great point to be informed how the inhabitants could be compelled to make drains from their houses into the common sewers, which had been so largely formed throughout the city. The CITY SOLICITOR said if a nuisance of this kind was occasioned by the misconduct of an individual, that individual was liable to prosecution by the Court. If it assumed the public character of a nuisance, the Commis • sioners of Sewers were the authority to which application ought to be made. In the first case, the prosecution was instituted by the City Solicitor, at the expense of the city, under the direction of the Alderman of the ward. The foremen of several other wards made present ments, complaining of the crowds of persons who carried on business, without being freemen. It was understood that the subject would be resumed with all convenient speed in the Corporation. IRISH SEA COAST FISHERIES. (From the Dublin Evening Post.) FOOD—EMPLOYMENT. We are glad to find that practical measures have been taken by the Board of Works to render the fisheries immediately, and we trust permanently, available as a source of food and employment in this season of un exampled distress. It is quite notorious that although there is abundance of the best kinds of fish on our coasts, the market supplies are miserably deficient ; and it is equally beyond doubt. that this deficiency is mainly attributable to the want of a steady demand and a re munerating price, near the site of the fisheries, for the produce of the fisherman's labour. Create this steady demand— render the fisherman secure of a market—and you will increase to a vast amount the stock of"food, at the same time that you will employ the fisherman in the way most natural and best understood by him. Fully aware of this, the Board of Works have established three stations on the western coast—one at Roundstone, county of Galway ; a second at Belmullet, county of Mayo ; and the third at Killybegs, county of Donegal. The agents there (as far as the means at their disposal will admit) to keep up a constant and equable demand by purchasing, at a moderate, but, at the same time, a remunerating price, the produce of each day's labour, without interfering with private traffic. All the fish not required for consumption in a fresh state will be cured on the best principles, and in such a way as to render it edible with bread or cakes made of Indian or other meal. But the good, to be extensively effective, must not stop here. The course undertaken by the Board is not per manent, but an experiment to meet an emergency—it is necessarily confined in its operations, and entered upon with a view that private individuals, having been taught the advantages of such a system in a commercial way, may be induced to purchase and cure an ample supply of fish in the more remote districts. We hare before us a pFriphlet published by the Board of Works on the subject of fish-curing, from which we beg to lay before our readers the following extracts:— " The Board of Public Works, as Commissioners of Fisheries in Ireland, having received from. Sir Thomas Dick Lauder, Bart., the annexed papers, hare directed them to be printed and distributed amongst the fishermen, and other persons interested, with a view to promote the establishment of a system of curing, as the most certain basis for the permanent improvement and extension of the sea fisheries. " Whilst'the Irish coast abounds with fish, it is a well known fact, that a very great portion of the salt or cured fish consumed in Ireland is imported from Scotland, where a spirit of trade and enterprise has generally led to an extensive, distinct, and profitable investment of capital, skill, and labour in the curing of fish. The formation of curing establishments, where judi ciously managed, affords a steady daily market for the fruits of the fisherman's labour, and affords extensive employment in the various trades connected therewith. " In the present season of distress and privation arising from the failure of the potato crop, it appears to be essentially necessary t 3 call attention to the vast supply of food of nutritious quality that surrounds the island, and which a moderate degree of local energy, foresight, and enterprise might readily make available in aid of the pressing wants of the country ; whilst the result of pro perly directed exertions would be the permanent im provement of the fisheries, and profitable employment to a large portion of the coast population. " During this season large quantities of fish taken on the coast have been lost or sold at a nominal price for manure, for the want of local energy to provide suitable means of curing, or even a sufficient supply of salt ; and this has taken place in portions of the country where it has since been reported that men have died of starvation. "The curing of fish is a trade that may advantageously be pursued on a large scale, with a considerable invest ment of capital, or which may be profitably followed in the cabin of the fisherman's family, when properly in structed. " The preparation, washing, salting, drying, or smoking of the fish, with its subsequent transmission to market, and its sale, would afford profitable employment to great numbers of women and children, as well as men, whilst the offal will sell well as a useful manure, and valuable oils in addition may be extracted from the fish. " The establishment of curing stations, especially for round fish, which may be had almost without intermis sion throughout the year, producing a steady daily mar ket for the fishermen, will lead to increased exertion on their part ; and the certain success attendant on perse verance, and increased industry, notwithst anding established habits, will enable them to procurelaim roved tackle, and to adopt i m p roved modes of fi shi ng. The fisherman when enco ura g ed by a fair steady price, will proceed to sea to look for and follow the fish, rather than wait, as is too frequently the ease at present, for the fish to come to them. " Where a wholesome and even delicate article of food for home consumption, and for keeping during a period of two 'to four weeks can be prepared by an hour's immersion in pickle, and a few hours drying or smok ing with even turf fuel, the immense loss annually sustained by the people in many parts of Ireland, from the total nhglect of any system of curing, can scarcely be calculated. " In any case, even a small outlay would effect much gc2d, aud, judici9usly managed, be amply reamer:lAm whilst there can be little doubt, thatif the trade be entered upon in an enlarged spirit of enterprise and skill, and with sufficient capital, the Irish merchant might soon need no other " official brand" than his own name, to render his cured fish acceptable at the highert price in the English or other markets of the world. " It is hoped that the many useful observations in the annexed papers, may be carefully considered and acted upon, as far as practicable, at least by the fishermen themselves, to whom th e Commissioners present the work with the best wishes for their instruction and improvement." This invaluable little book, presented to the fisher men, contains the instructions prepared by Mr. Ffennell, one of the Board's Inpectors of Fisheries, who had visited the curing establishments in Scotland, and made himselt thoroughly acquainted with the several modes of curing adopted there, more especially those practised by the fishermen in their own dwellings. The Commissioners of the Board of Works, weighed down as they are by the overwhelming labours of their office, yet have contrived to carry out this project for the permanent amelioration of the condition of the im mense population who swarm around our coasts. It is thus that the Commissioners, carrying out the views of a government devoted heart and soul to the welfare of the Irish people, have been working practically and et fectively, whilst they have been daily and hourly assailed by shallow and factious scribblers, who, whilst helplessl% ignorant about the really perilous condition of the country, do all that lies in their small way to aggravate all the evil affecting the landed proprietor as well as the peasant.

Frederic Lemaitre commenced his engagement here last evening, in the character of Don Cesar de Bazan. He was the original Don Cesar, and he is decidedly the best. Between Lemaitre and Wallack, the English re presentative of Don Cesar, it is almost impossible to institute a comparison. Wallack makes him a gentle man, in difficulties it is true, but still such a joyous, effervescing, high-spirited gentleman, that although the spectator feels an intense interest in his adventures, he feels no great interest for the Don himself. For in stance, in the scene in the condemned cell, as acted by Wallack, it is impossible to doubt for a moment but that some means will be found to rescue him from his impending fate ; it is impossible to doubt for a moment but that he himself believes that his shrewd mother wit will be sufficient to save him. Curiosity as to how he is to be saved is excited in a high degree, because the Imbroglio is perfect ; but interest in the fate of the Don is not excited, because it is impos sible in Wallack's version of the part for the spectator ever to bring himself to believe that Don Cesar is in danger. In the Don Cesar of Lemaitre, on the con trary, the most intense interest is excited in the fate of the man. Lemaitre is a reckless dare devil, it is true, but he has no sense of enjoyment, he is l'homme blase— careless, to a certain extent, of life, because he has well nigh exhausted it, but yet there is an under current of deep feeling, although apparently careless of life, he does not wish for death. Ile would rather live than die, although, when death comes, he is prepared to meet it. Wallack gives the lights of the character. Lemaitre the shadows. Wallack's picture is a brilliant Turner—Lemaitre's a rich Rembrant. Which is right? The spectator must judge, and the suffrages will be nearly equally divided. Wallack makes Don Caesar the hero of high comedy, Lemaitre of high melo drama, and each is perfect in his version. Mdlle. Clarisse, who also made her first appearance for the season, was the Maritana, and she acted the charac ter in the most fascinating style imaginable. It would be an act of injustice to close this notice without men hioning the Lazarille of Mdlle. Valid:). Her Lazarille is the best we have yet seen. She made up and acted the character perfectly. All other Lazarille's have been evidently girls masquerading. Her looks, her action:, her dress, were those of a boy. Her voice alone be trayed her sex. The House was crowded to excess in every part ; so crowded that it was warm, notwithstand ing the severity of the weather. A. PLEA. FOR THE SUFFERING HIGHLANDERS. BY MRS. CHARLES TINSLEY. Forget them not, the sufferers By glen and mountain side, The thousands that now pine in want, Where crowds in want have died ; They send no loud complainings forth— They work no deed of wrong, Nor tax a nation with the woes In silence borne so long. They pour not forth, as did their sires, In headlong foray bands, Leaving the track of lawless war On cattle• pilfered lands ; They keep within their fastnesses, — We scarce have heard the cry That tells us how they daily lire, Arad how they daily die. Think of those homes that lie apart, Some on the wide bleak moor, Some bedded in the mountain clefts, Where snow wreaths hide each door; The hearths within are dark and cold, The meal-tubs empty lie; And children there, to anguished hearts, In vain for succour cry. Their wants are simple, ft ugal, few, No luxuries they crave; They waste not time or substance, yet They have no means to save; And stern indeed is that distress That pileth up the way Whence men are wont, for daily bread, To look from day to ?'ay. Those unfrequented solitudes No chance relief afford; The scattered dwellers there are wont To lean upon the Lord: Pastor and flock alike are bowed Beneath one common ill, For in those regions lone, remote, All men are brothers still. They suffer not the less because They send few wailings forth; Alas! life's ills fall heaviest On hearts of quiet worth! 0 ye that for imagined woes Can boast the power to feel, Turn to these living wastes of earth, Where there are woes to heal! And ye that in the summer sheen Have wandered with delight, Amid those old, song-haunted hills, Now crowned with sorrow's night,— Remember how, by Highland hearths, Ye still found welcome true; And let the hearts that hailed ye then Find meet return from you. So when ye seek those scenes again, In brighter days to come, A right good welcome ye shall find In every Highland home! And may be then ye'll hear some tale Shall make your hearts rejoice, Not having coldly turned away From sorrow's earnest voice! WINDSOR, MONDAY EVENING.—The Court, it is fully expected, will return from Claremont to Windsor Castle on Thursday next, the 14th instant. Orders have been issued to the proper officers to be prepared for its return on that day, and the whole of the Royal Family will remain at the Castle until the 17th or 18th instant. After the opening of Parliament, her Majesty and the Prince will return to Windsor Castle, and there remain, with the exception of occasionally proceeding to Buck ingham Palace, for a day, as the business of the state may require ; end, about the middle of March next, the Queen and Royal Family, with their Court, will again take up their residence for a time at Osborne llouse, in the Isle of Wight, to resume their superintendence of the improvements they have projected there both in planting and building, and which have been entirely suspended for many weeks by the inclement weather. Prince Albert, since the Court removed to Claremont, has almost every day been shooting in the preserves. there, attended by Lord Alfred Paget and the Hon. Colonel Phipps.

LAMBETH. John Jones, a young fellow, whose friends were said to be highly respectable, his father being barrack-mas ter at Cork, and Elizabet 4 Pearce, who had deserted her lawful husband and home to beguile her hours with her fellow-prisoner, were placed at the bar for final exami nation on a charge of robbing their ready• furnished apart ments. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoners oc cupied a furnished apartment in the house of Mrs. Pesti ley, in the Waterloo -road, where they passed as man and wife, and the landlady having some misgivings from their manner, that all was not ri g ht, took occasion in their absence to examine their room, and f ound it stripped of nearly all the bedclot hes and other m ovables.

Two respectable persons, in whose houses the male prisoner had previously- lodged asspoke to his proper con duct while with them, as well the respect 1"1' of his a n ity friends. Mr. ELLIOTT convicted the prisoners in the penalty of 51. for the unlawfully pawning, together with the value of the articles pawned, or in default of payment to stand committed to the House of Correction for two months each.

A correspondent of the Athenceum communicates some interesting statistics of the press of Italy. " A Turin paper," he says, " entitled 11 Mondo Illustrato, enume rates the journals published in each state of Italy in the years 1836 and 1845, together with the population ; thus showing the advance which this branch of litera ture has made within the last nine years, and the pro portion of the population for each journal. The table is as follows Population 1836. 1845. to each Journal. Province of Lombardy Province of Venice 9 15 135,000 Sardinia Duchy of Modena, Modena, Lucca 11 13 74,000 Grand Duchy of Tuscany The Pope's Dominions ' 20 32 80,000 Kingdom of the Two Sicilies 52 61 122,000 171 205 702,000 Taking this table as being some indication of the degree of mental progress in Italy, it will appear that the Pope's states have made a greater advance than any other por tion of the peninsula, *whilst the Venetian states have made a retrograde movement—the first part of this state ment being, perhaps, almost contrary to expectation. But then we must not forget that the Pope's states em brace Bologna—almost the most enlightened and inde pendent spirited portion of Italy. The Lombard pro vinces, though they have made but a slight progress within the last nine years, are supplied with journals better, it seems, in relation to the population, than any other portion of Italy; and, indeed, any one coming from the south, and remaining some little time at Milan, will perceive that he is amongst a people wider awake, and more under the invigorating influences of northern civili sation. The worst supplied are the Sardinian states — then the Venetian—then the Neapolitan. Now, the first and last of these are completely under the dominion of the Jesuits ; and so severe is the censure of the press, especially in the kindom of the Two Sicilies, that it is difficult to get anything sanctioned for printing or publi cation. What wonder is it, then, that a literary famine should be the consequence ? Besides those above men tioned, seventeen journals in the Italian language were published in 1836 in Lugano, Magliaso, Paris, Roveredo, Trieste, and Zara ; whilst, in 1845, others were pub lished in Malta-Fiume, Constantinople, Corfu, and Mon tevideo. Having thus disposed of Italy, the writer in II Mondo Illustrato proceeds to give a statement of similar particulars with respect to the other states of Europe, and thus silently institutes a comparison between them and the Peninsula. Thus, adopting the same arrange ment as in the other table, he gives the number of jour nals in the first column, and the relative population for each journal in the second. Journals. Population Austria, including the Lombardo- Venetian kingdom German Confederation, Austrian 159 198,000 and Prussian Depencies included 1,836 18,000 France Belgium Great Britain Russia Numerically considered, then, France, Belgium, and the German provinces rare better supplied than Great Britain with periodicals, whilst Russia and the Austrian provinces are the worst supplied. This is, however, no proof that the periodical literature is less diffused in this country than in the others, with which it is compared above. Some of the foreign journals have but a very limited circulation; for instance, a particular journal at Bolagna has only 500 subscribers—and it is cited as a proof of the encouragement of periodical literature. Yet a political journal in London has its 20,000 pur chasers and upwards, and readers it is impossible to say how many. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, JANUARY 11.

SCIENCE v. HMIEN.—The Lancaster and Carlisle Railway is now opened throughout, and as it constitutes the route to the far-famed Gretna, if the electric tele graph should be adopted by the directors on that line, elopements would become almost impracticable. What an enemy science is to romance and love ! And what a shame that young ladies who are kind enough to go a hundred miles out of their way to make a man happy, should, like mere it ice, be thus snared and caught by wires ! To establish the telegraph in the south may be all well enough, but to carry it to Carlisle—the last stage to Gretna—the very vestibule to bliss— is an encroachment which ought never to be permitted. It would be directing the galvanic battery of science against the rarest temple Hymen has—it would destroy the little romance of life which still lingers in a manufacturing age, and would take away all the piquancy of love's adventure. COLLISION ON THE MANCHESTER AND LEEDS RAILWAY.— The train which left Manchester on Tues day night last, at twenty minutes to six, ran into a lug gage train abnut two hundred yards from the Rochdale station, smashing one and damaging several other of the carriages. Several of the passengers were injured, and all of them much shaken, but none seriously hurt. The guard suffered the most injury. Mr. John Bright was . one of the passengers in this train, which runs no fur ther than Rochdale. It is supposed that the luggage train was $OO 1194'1 , 4 laden to MOTO (41,—,Lcoh Mcroer,y.

LONDON" EXPLOSION OF FIRE-DAMP.—SEVEN MEN BURNT, —On Monday last inquests were held before W. for vine, Erq., coroner, at the Bell Inn, near Splay, on the bodies of Rees Morgan and John David, who, with five:others, descended a coal-pit at the Genwen in the parish of Llanelly, on Saturday last. They had not been long at work before the explosiva took place. It appeared in evidence that the ovsrlooker had dis' covered that there was a quantity of foul air in the east side of the workings, and that he had on the previous day given the men precaution, and cautioned them not to go that part of the workings without a safety lamp► and gave Rees Morgan one for that purpose; but it Is believed that the deceased, Rees Morgan, incautiously took a lighted candle into the head of the workings in' stead of the lamp, as the explosion took place in that part of the colliery where he was at isork. The jurf returned verdicts of " Accidentally burnt to death rocs an explosion of fire-damp." The two unfortunate men have left wives and families to deplore their loss! Carmarthen Journal.
