We may still perceive in some parts' of the country the lin gering remains of the rough sports which were wont in ear 'p comfortless period of the year in tier times to enliven t Where there are no strivi elated to li OD 111 1 i the so exposed at to the appearance a. ave to cooll '.

The elders sit over their punch and smile • adventures of their youthful days; the younv oL .ne sanded floor; John cudgels his brains for su... trick to lead the blooming Mary, without her being aware of his intention, under the bunch of mistletoe hanging from the ceiling; and Mary at last runs, quite by accident, to the very place he wishes, when he bounces a f ter h er , an d an nounces her capture by a smacking report heard at the far thest corner of the kitchen ; and " snap-dragon," or " hunt the slipper, " or " hoodman-bli n d," or t h e merry song and hearty laugh, puts every one in good humour with all, and with everything. The children sitting round th e bl az i ng hearth, still listen to the stories Of the village patriarch, who, honoured with the best seat in the chimney-corner' descants on the " good old times," when he and two o r three of the of (who smile and sigh as they recal the time scarcely so tall as the stile at the end of the lam were roasted whole, and the whole viii preparations and enjoyment of "real ei 'ere boys, when oxen was alive with the put, no, were not prettier !" nay, he looks round an( thinks the rills are prettier now than th Al .• " though there was Margery, the miller's daughter—he re membered her, and certainly she was the beauty !" But even in the youthful days of a centenarian of the pre sent age, the sports of Christmas were very different to what they had been a hundred years or so before. It was in the days of " good Queen Bess," or in the more spirit times that preceded her reign, that the festival of ( was celebrated wi stirring ristmas ..skrua uGII LUC I.locll head was brought to t a bl e wi th t rumpets sounding, drums beating, and the whole company singing its praises; when the ale flowed unceasingly, the fire blazed and crackled with ne yule-I when ti be arts se was master of to make the peasantry joyful with boisterous merriment; when the games and festivity lasted for a month, and rendered every one happy for a year. Although most people are aware of the general passion for feasts and amusements which distinguishes the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, but few persons are aware of the cha racter of the sports which were then so popular. We shall now endeavour to convey some idea of the amusements inci dental to the season which were then in high repute. In England we find, in the earliest accounts we have of the G UL State of the island, that the Druids celebrated during the winter solstice the rites in honour of Thor, one of the Scan dinavian deities; and some few of the customs by which the festivities of Christmas were characterised in later times may be traced to the established ceremonies in honour of that heathen deity. Thus the practice of adorning the house with mistletoe has been derived from the use of that plant in the druidical ceremonies; and other customs which ob tained in this country but a few years since are referable to the same origin. Among the many customs which prevailed at the iod of Christmas in the days of Elizabeth, the investiture per of a person with the power and privileges of assembling a number of persons and teaching them tricks, tumbling, and fantastic erformances, fa the purpose of amusing the peasantry, and teed the higher classes, is one of the most remarkable. ocular personage was styled the " Lord of Misrule," -- - -- i 3 a" ance, connive d at I], y the auth dby custom of long continn orities of church and state, he was permitted to lead the vial who d es i re d to en li st un d er his banner whithersoever he pleased i n search of fun and ludicrous adventures.

There exists in the Isthmus a tribe of Indians, who say that they can cross from one sea to the other in the course of one day, who are described as an industrious and harmless race, who do not like inter course with foreigners, although many of them can speak the English language. The chairman read a letter from Sir W. Parish, giving a description of a map of Pekin, given to him by a relative who accompanied the expedition of Lord Macartney into China, He had forwarded the map for pre sentation to the society, but it had been shown to Lord Stanley, who had taken it to her Majesty at Windsor. There are some young Chinese at Rome, who are educating as missionaries, by whom the map was translated, although some difficulty was met in the reduction of Chinese to Italian erence of the city might, however, Lo miles ; and the map was very full, con names of all the streets, public offices, gardens, - being complete in every respect.

It is large and spacious and lofty; well stored with books, and embellished with those most valuable of all classes of prints—the suggestive ; it is also picturesque, having been added to so as to increase its breadth : the addition is supported by square pillars ; and the beautiful lawn seen through the windows, embellished and varied by clumps of trees, judiciously planted, imparts much cheerfulness to the exterior. An oblong table in the centre is a sort of rallying p o i n t f or t h e f am i ly, who group around it, reading, writing, or working ; while Miss Edge worth, only anxious upon one point—that all in the house should do exactly as they like without reference to her—sits quietly and abstractedly in her own peculiar corner, on the sofa ; her desk, upon which lies Sir Walter Scott's pen, given to her by him when in Ireland, placed before her upon a little quaint table, as unassuming as possible. Miss Edge worth's abstractedness would puzzle the philosophers. In that same corner, upon that table, she has written nearly all that enlightened and delighted the world ; there she writes as eloquently as ever, wrapped up, to all appearance, in her subject, yet knowing by a sort of instinct when she is really wanted in dialogue; and without laying down her pen, hardly looking up from her page, she will by a judicious sentence, wisely and kindly spoken, explain and elucidate in a few words, so as to clear up any difficulty, or turn the conversa tion into a new and more pleasing current. She has the most harmonious way of throwing in explanations,—inform ing without embarrassing. A very large family party assem ble daily in this charming room, young and old, bound alike to the spot by the strong cords of memory and love. Mr. Francis Edgeworth, the youngest son of the present Mrs. Edgeworth, and of course Miss Edgeworth's youngest bro er, has a family of little ones, who seem to enjoy the -lora of the library as much as their elders. To set these - , le right, if they are wrong —to rise from her table --- or ---n .ve .0 save a servant a journey—, —it the steps and find a volume that has escaped all eyes out her own, and having done so, to find exactly the passage wanted—are hourly the employments of this most unspoiled Ler pen; and d to have e thread of her Ideas Her mind. is s y weighed, that she suffers om what would disturb an ordinary Mr. and Mrs. Hall's Ireland. inconvenience EGG-OTISM OF THE RUSSIANS.—" Eggs," says Kohl, in his vol. 2, " act a very important part in the Russian festival of Easter; people make presents of them to each other, eat many, and play all sorts of games with them. • Such cities as Moscow and PM ersburg consume in consequence an immense ity of eggs, Moscow is supplied with them by its own ons abounding in people and poultry; but Petersburg, ' ' ' rt destitute of both, is obliged to bring its busine in the , which sends iilargeCOnsigiunents, ly of its Easter wants. The eggs are ed in general red : all the shops are quantities of such eggs, the demand for )le.

A STUDENT'S FUNERAL.—On the 22nd of July, 1840, I witnessed, in Heidelberg, one of these most singular and striking ceremonies. The deceased was a young man from Hamburgh, who died of consumption; and the general esteem in which he was held by his fellow-students was testified by the mode in which they celebrated his obsequies. When it is intended to show more than ordinary respect for a deceased fellow-student, his funeral is conducted by torch light, and all or the greater part of the students attend. * * Bells were tolling from various churches, and the pro cession was proceeding through the principal street to the lodgings of the deceased, as we went into the city about eight o'clock. We were at too great a distance to see more than a crowd and the torches • but on reaching th e h ouse , th e scene was singular to an English eye, and deeply interesting. The main part of the procession bad halted at the distance of three or four hundred yards, where they had extinguished their torches. Before this house stood a sort of low covered car, or waggon, with six black horses ; the four first in Ger man fashion, at a considerable distance from each other, and from the wheelers, and having, as usual, traces of ropes, but in this case black ones. The car, which, unlike our English hearses, was not boarded up top and sides, but appeared merely covered with an awning supported by bows of wood, had laid upon it a plain pall of black velvet, and upon the pall three garlands of leaves and flowers. The outer garlands seemed to be composed entirely of laurels, and occupied the whole outer portion of the pall, with the exception of a broad margin. Within that was another, which appeared corn. posed of roses and lilies ; and then a central one, of flowers also. This inner garland, which was very beautiful, was said to be the work and gift of a female hand. Within it lay his cap, his gloves, and sword. One wondered that the sword should be there, and the books not ; .and had one inclined to be critical on such an occasion, we should have asked why not, as well as the sword, the pipe, the beer-glass, the stick, and the spectacles? The sword, except as denoting the character of the students for duelling, was a singular appendage for a student ; but, without being too critical, the whole effect was rich and beautiful. The garlands of laurel and splendid flowers were so dispersed as to cover nearly the whole surface of the pall with a mass of rich and mosaic beauty, which was made visible to the crowd of spectators by a light set upon it as well as by the flare of a cresset-fire, which was burning before the house, on the opposite side of the little street. Behind the car stood two rows of about twenty torch-bearers each, hut with their torches also extinguished. These men were not students, but hired attendants, probably the boot-cleaners of the stu dents, called by them boot-foxes. Many of them were of considerable age. In this manner stood the car and its at tendants before the house for a quarter of an hour, when the coffin, also richly covered with black velvet, and white ornamental work of silver-plated nails and shields, was put into the car, the light was removed from the top, and the attendants, lighting their torches at the funeral fire in the cresset, communicated light from one to ano ther down the line. The pall-bearers, who were young stu dents from the native town or neighbourhood of the deceased, took their places on each side of the car, dressed in court dresses, with their sword s , an d wearing white scarfs. The mutes. with staves of black, ornamented with bunches of white crape, walked on each side; the band struck up a mournful strain, and the procession moved on. The band, a military one, from Mannheim, a full and very superior one, preceded the car, the musicians being clothed also in black. Immediately behind came the chief mourners, young students in full dresses, with white neckcloths, and white gloves. These carried no torches, but on each side of them walked the hired torch-bearers. Then followed the main and almost innumerable train of students, in their usual costume of frock coats and caps. * * * The procession, taking a circuit, came along the main street for a considerable part of its length, where, of course, a dense crowd was collected, and every window in the upper rooms thronged with spectators. The students were about seven hundreds, and it is pro bable that the greater part followed, for the whole length of the street, as far as it could be seen both ways, was occupied by their two lines of torches, and they con tinued passing for some time. The whole procession could not be much less in length than half a mile. The effect was singular and impressive. * * * The procession passed on to the church near the end of the city, where the students are generally buried, where the clergyman performed the cus tomary service, and then a student pronounced an oration over their departed companion. The service being over, the procession then returned by the main street to the Museum Plaz. * * * As we stood at the window of the Museum, we could see above the houses the light in the air over the spot where they were committing his mortal remains to the earth. Anon, the light moved, it became like a streaming lustrous cloud above the roofs in the direction of the High-street. The sound of the music became audible, and presently the first torches came flaring through the darkness, round the corner, from the street into the square. Nothing can sur pass the strange and wild effect of this scene. The proces sion, which had gone towards the church slowly, now re. turned at a quick pace ; the music, which had been dolorous and complaining, was now gay and triumphant. The band was playing a martial and resounding air ; the students in a wild troop, three abreast, came rushing on, whirling round and round their torches, and shaking them above their heads, like so many wild Bacchanalians, and crowds of boys and young men ran on each side, amid the mingled flare, and smoke, and gloom, some of them having snatched up fallen and nearly burnt-out torches, and whirling them *fiercely about as they ran. The band halted before the door of the Museum, and continued playing while the students formed themselves into a large circle in the square. The first, as he took his place, flung his blazing torch to some distance on the ground, and every one as he arrived did the same. This became the eentre of the ring, round which the whole train arranged itself; and as the young men came near its bound, they tossed up their torches into the air, which came whirling and flaming down from a hundred places into the area of the circle. The scene was most wild and strange. The gathering ring of densely standing figures, all in the Burschen costume ; the lights tossing, and spinning, and falling through the air ; the hundreds of them lying and blazing on the ground ; while others, flying errant, dropped into the thickest masses of the spectators, and were again snatched up, and again sent aloft, and through all this the band playing in a consonant thunder and rending strain of exciting music. * * * When the circle was completes and the torches had been flung down, the marschals and the police were seen walking about in it. The scattered torche, were thrown together, till they formed one blazing heap, which illuminated wit, r its red light the whole walls and win dows of the square, and sent up a rolling column of pitchy smoke, that hung like a sable canopy above the crowds. At once, the band ceased playing ; there was a pause of deep silence, and then the whole circle of students, as they stood round the flames, burst forth into a funeral song, which, un expected as it was, and sudden and solemn as was the strain, startled and thrilled beyond description. The deep red light flung upon the circle •, the dark groups behind ; the mar schals and seniors standing with drawn swords ' • the blazing pile in the centre, and the so un d o f th e funeral hymn, sung by hundreds of deep and manly voices, like the sound as of the sea itself—was altogether so wild, so novel, and strange, that it is not to be conceived by those who have not wit nessed the like, nor forgotten by those who have. The song was that sung on all such occasions, the hymn for the main tenance of their academical liberty. As it closed, one of the seniors stood forward, and wielded his sword as in defiance. The rest rushed together, and with wild cr i es c l as hi ng t h e i r swords above their heads, there was a shout—" Quench the fire !" and the whole of the students at once dispersed. The crowds then closed round it, water was thrown on the flames, the dense black column of smoke changed into a white one, and the whole was oven—Rural and Domestic Life of Ger many; by William .Howitt.

The market closed steadily for Butter, last week, without, how ever, the transaction of heavy business. A brisk trade is antitici pated at the commencement of the new year. There is a specu lative inquiry for medium Batters; which, in proportion to the better descriptions, have ru led l a tt er l y ;cry muc h b e l ow their value. Fine holders of pickled Butter ate at present disposed to take under 73s for seconds,—to this price we believe most are limited. Prime heavy Irish Beef conunauds full rates, as does also Pork of favourite brands. We continue to quote the former at 92s 6d to 95s per tierce; the latter at 52s per barrel. Bacon 40s to 425. The stuck of Colonial Provisions increases, and the demand is slack. LONDON GA:GETTL -FRIDAY, DEC. 23 PARTNERSHIPS DISSOLVED.

The present is a season when all business transactions are generally restricted to a narrow compass ; and this. added to the feelings of distrust occasioned by the recent heavy failures in York shire, has caused much depression in the trade. At Liverpool yesterday a fair business was done in Wheat at full prices. At Wakefield, on the contrary, the market, influenced no doubt by the circumstances above referred to, was flat and lower for all articles. At our Exchange to-day, little is passing to call for any particular remark. The depression in the Flour trade prevents any purchases of Wheat by our millers beyond what they immediately require. and they are enabled to supply themselves at prices a shade lower than on this day week. Flour declining fully Is per sack, with very slow demand. Oats dull of sale at late rates. Meal is again 6d per load cheaper, with but a limited enquiry. Beans is per quarter cheaper. Malt steady at former rates. LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATO: MARKET, DECEMBER 24, 1842. Potatoes 9 ,11). s. d. s. d. s. d. s. d.

Weekly sales 32,600 bales. Speculators have taken 6000. There is every ap pearance of a further advance. COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT. The trade have bought rather freely this week, and the daily purchases by speculators, who have almost exclusively confined their operations to the better qualities of the new crop of American, have given holders more confidence, and the full prices of last week have bee❑ currently obtained. Brazil is still offered freely, particularly Pernambuco, for which lower prices have been sub mitted to. Egyptian is without change, but East India barely maintains last week's quotations. Speculators have taken 6500 American, and exporters 150 American. ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, From the 16th to the 24th instant, inclusive, Prices paid IMPORTS in the week.

The ithport duties for the ensuing week continue unvaried from the rates previously chargeable on foreign Grain and Flour. A moderate quantity of Wheat, with a liberal supply of Oats, Oatmeal, and Flour, have been received here from Ireland within the last three days. We have also to report, during that time, a few hundred quarters of Wheat and Pease, with 5,455 barrels of Flour from Canada, forming the whole arrivals from abroad ; but, coastwise, we have scarcely any fresh arrivals. From the close of Tuesday's market, and up to this date, a tolerably steady feeling prevailed on the part of holders, with limited sales of the leading articles to consumers, on terms varying little, if in any degree, from our previous cur rency, which appeared to constitute the only features in the corn trade here claiming any remark during that period. At our Corn Exchange this morning, foreign free Wheats continued to be held with increasing firmness, and some parties required rather higher prices ; but having very few millers in attendance, and little inclination to purchase, any decided advance, if obtained, was partial, and the transac tions altogether extremely unimportant in amount. Of English Wheat the supply to-day was trivial, and Irish moved off slowly, each description remaining unaltered in value. Home-made and Irish, as well as States and Canadian Flour, met a limited demand at late prices. A serious fire occurred here yesterday morning, in which, amongst other produce, about 2000 quarters of bonded, and 5000 quarters of duty-paid Wheat were destroyed. Barley and Malt, upon a slow gradual scale, maintained our last quotations. Beans and Pease, with scarcely any inquiry, were the turn cheaper. Excepting a few retail sales, the Oat trade appeared to excite no marked attention, and Tuesday's rates were barely supported. The general price of Oatmeal to-day, was re duced to 21s. per 240 lbs. for good marks of Irish, at which from 1500 to 2000 sacks were disposed cf to country buyers DIVIDENDS Jan. 13, J. Tomlin and W.
