During nearly a Century THE MORNING CHRONICLE has been the steadfast advocate of Liberal principles and enlightened views ; always ready to support the Statesman whose measures were calculated to promote the general inter ests—never the tool of Party. Faithful to its old creed, considering judicious amelioration to be the best Conservatism, THE MORNING CHRONICLE earnestly supports onr venerable Constitution in its essential principles—principles none the less importantin their practical efficacy because brought into harmonious concurrence with th genius and tendencies of the age. Every department of this Journal has been remodelled. Its Political Information is derived from unquestionable 43ourees •, and whilst it keeps its readers conversant with all important occurrences, political and social, both at home and abroad—the lighter, but not unimportant, claims of Literature and Art are equally represented in its columns. The constant aim of the pre:sent Conductors of THE MORN ING CHRONICLE is to make it an organ of influence amongst Statesmen and public men of all denominations; and whilst presenting a faithful reflex of the events and feelings of the day, not to lose sight of the permanent interests and prospec tive destinies of society. mwf THE ONLY FULL-SIZED EVENING PAPER THE EVENING HERALD Is enlarged to Eight full-sized Pages, and is an ample Record of the Current Day's News. The increasing importance of public events, and the rapidity with whichthey transpire, demand a corresponding spirit of enterprise in recording them. Home and foreign news has now . become so expensive that it has been found impossible to meet the reasonable requirements of newspaper readers by offering them in a journal of four pages only. The LVENING 11,:ltALD is consequently doubled, and now contains the fullest Parlia mentary and other Reports, with the proceedings in the Law, Bankruptcy, Insolvency, Sheriff's, Registration, County, and Police Courts. Correspondents at Paris, Turin, Genoa, and Malta forward full and reliable intelligence, and Reporters and Correspondents at home supply the Home News, Political, Commercial, and Social, down to the moment of going to press. The EVENING HERALD may be had of any News Agent ; and to Subscribers paying in advance it is supplied (stamped) direct from the Publishing Office by the Five o'clock Trains to all parts of the United Kingdom on the following terms:— Quarterly. Half-yearly. Yearly. Stamped . . . £1 12 6 £3 5 0 £6 10 0 The unstamped edition may be had at the Office, or of any Newsvendor, at the following prices : Quarterly. Half-yearly. Yearly.

All moneys to be paid or remitted to the address of ABEL NADIN, Office of the'Evening and Morning Heralds, 103, Shoe lane, Fleet-street, London. Advertisements should reach the office by Two p.m. T HE HEREFORD JOURNAL is the OLDEST NEWSPAPER in the County, and one of the o dest in the Kingdom. It circulates principally in the Coun ties of ilereford, Radnor, Monmouth, Worcester, Gloucester, Brecon, and Salop, and generally throughout the Principality. A continuous effort is being made to render it worthy, both as an organ of Local Intelligence and as a compendium of Ge neral News,. of the county and district it claims to represent. The Editorial, Reporting, Commercial, and Corresponding departments have recently been thoroughly revised, and com prehensive arrangements made for enhancing its general effi ciency, both as a medium of local and mercantile intercom munication. The HEREFORD JOURNAL is printed on a DOUBLE SHEET, and has a good bona fide circulation amongst the mercantile and moneyed classes of the wide district through which it is known. It is, therefore, an excellent medium for ADVERTISING; and, with the view of keeping pace with the requirements of the times, Advertisements are inserted at moderate charges. To persons seeking situations, and gentle men requiring servants, it offers considerable advantages, this class of Advertisements being charged lower than by any other newspaper in the district.

Published at 26, King-street, Whitchaven, by Robert Foster, every Tuesday, price 31d. ; or Stamped, 41d. ; Credit, 66 . ; or Stamped, 16s. ; or Ll per Annum. THE CUMBERLAND PACQUET is a full-sized paper of eight pages, containing forty-eight columns of ly--printed matter, and its circulation extends throughout the counties of Cumberland, Westmoreland, Lancashire, and Yorkshire, as well as very generally over other parts of the kingdom. As an Advertising medium, this jourrtai cannot be surpassed, being read by the leading gentry, clergy, agricul tural, shipping, and commercial classes of the district in which it is circulated. The number and influence of its sub scribers renders it a most eligible medium for advertisements of estate and other property ; and the commercial community cannot avail themselves of any provincial journal better calcu lated to introduce their announcements to the class of news paper readers whose attention to such advertisements is sought to be obtained. THE SOUTHERN' TIMES, Dorsetshire Herald, _A_ Weymouth aid Portland Gazette, and General Adver tiser for Dorset, Somerset, Devon, Wilts, and Hants. Pub lished at the " Southern Times" Office, Weymouth, every Saturday morning. Circulation extending over five Counties, the Isle of Wight, and the Channel Islands, under one general management with the " Dorset County Chronicle." ( Dor- Chester, Thursday.) Theintimate connection maintained with the principal places in the counties referred to is manifested by the amount of local intelligence which flows in weekly. Considerable interest has been, and will be, created by the appearance in its columns of articles by the Editor (Mr. W. W. Fyfe), affording development to the Channel Islands traffic, to the Railway Communications and Connections of the South-west, the general principles and the peculiar advan tages of Fire and Life Insurance, with reference to the position and prospects of the' various leading offices throughout the United Kingdom ; and also by the Educational and Agricul tural Series and ample Literary Critiques upon almost every publication of note emanating from the Press. The Insurance, Railway, Educational, Agricultural, and Literary Series are now commenced; and as priority of attention will necessarily be given to the claims of supporters of the papers, whether as Subscribers or Advertisers, the present is a very fitting oppor tunity for securing an early notice, and also for commencing Subscriptions with the new volume, which has in progress a superb gratis reprint of Ilitchin's scarce " County History of Dorset," a work worth 70 guineas !

PHIS well-established Daily Paper,—the first that was attempted in the Provinces, —is now, under a new proprietary, devoted to the interests of the great Conservative party. Its principles are those so forcibly expressed by the Bari of Derby, at the recent Liverpool Banquet, when ho said, --" I speak of that Conservatism which is not obstructive, but which is the best promoter of safe and gradual social improve ment,—of that Conservatism which, strenuously adhering to the old machinery of the Constitution, adapts from time to time the various parts of its mechanism to the real requirements and the real capacities of the age in which we live,—of that Con servatism which should give to all orders and degrees of men within this realm their due weight, authority, and preponder- ance,—of that Conservatism which loves the interests of the people at large Ink will not be led away by the noisy denuncia tions of blustering demagogues, either to shrink at the voice of menace, or timidly to make concessions to large bodies of men for the purpose of obtaining a temporary popularity, when in our hearts we believe the concession of those coveted boons would be the worst injury we could inflict upon the classes it is sought to benefit." Such is the Conservatism of which the Northern Times is now the faithful and unflinching advocate, and never, perhaps, wits t:iere a moment when a temperate and judicious application of the Daily Press to the 'espousal of its cause, and the dissemination of its principles,. was capable df serving more beneficial purposes. Hitherto, the Daily Papers of Liverpool have, one and all, been exclusively in the so-called Liberal, that is, the Whig and Radical, interest. The Conservative cause has now got its representative, and its advocate, in the local Daily Press. It rests with the Conservative party of Liverpool to decide with what efficiency this their Daily organ of the Press shall be maintained. Its success has so far been considerable, — the circulation already secured is large and increasing; it is about three times more than it was when it Dame into its Pre sent hands,---and if all who are Conservatives will only sup port it with their advertisements, and use their active influence to make it a profitable advertising medium, its prosperity, and therefore its influence, will soon be powerfully strengthened and confirmed. The late Derby Bangnet cannot but have aroused the Con servatives of Liverpool to a more active course of public duty ; and the obligation, in times like the present, to sustain a Daily Paper in their important interest, cannot fail to be acknow ledged, and ought therefore to.be acted upon.

Sakiton, the eminent violinist, is announced. `n is stated that Madame Goldschmidt intends de- Voting a sum of money to the endowment of an asylum for decayed vocalists, after the manner and principle of the movement on behalf of the Dramatic College. The annual Christmas revels at the Crystal Palace will be under the management of Mr. Nelson Lee, who has been very busy making arrangements that will ensure an infinite variety of amusements to the visitors. Amongst the negotiations that have been already com pleted engagements have been entered into with the Campbell Minstrels, accompanied by the great Mackney, Sam. Collins, Professor Sinclair, the wizard, the Chan trell Family, and the " Royal" Punch and Judy. The Musical Society of London, which, to judge from its list of fellows and associates, honorary, pro fessional, and non-professional, male and female, must be in a thriving state, has put forth i a prospectus f or the year 1860. The first conversazione is to be held on January the 18th, at the St. James's-hall—the first orchestral Concert on February the 29th. Mr. A. Mellon, as before, will conduct the concerts, and Mr. H. Smart superintend the vocal rehearsals. The New Philharmonic Society has issued the pro gramme for its winter season. The band will consist of nearly one hundred performers, selected from the most talented artistes, and the choir of one hundred voices, forming a grand orchestra of two hundred performers. The followmg eminent artistes have appeared at these concerts, many of whom, with others who may arrive in London during the season, will again be offered engage ments :—Miss Louisa. Pyne, Mdme. Castellan, Mdme. Hayes, Mdme. Rudersdhorff, Mdme. Bishop, Miss Dolby, Mdme. Caradori, &c. ; Mr. Sims Reeves, Herr Reichardt, Signor Belletti, Herr Formes, Mr. Weiss, Mr. Stanley, &c. ; also as pianists, Miss Arabella Goddard, Mdme. Pleyel, Mdme. Clara Schuman, Mr. C. H a ll e , H err Rubinstein, Signor Andreoli ' • as violinists, Her r Joachim, Herr Wieniawski, and Signor Sivori. "Unions" seem the crder of the day. Among others, may be announced a new quintette party, beaded by M r . Willy, which advertises itself as diposable for all man ner of chamber performances. It was stated' the other day, at the annual Crystal Palace meeting, that another musical festival, one of a contemplated series to be held periodically, will be given at Sydenham in the year 1862 ; of course, with the co-operation of the Sacred Harmonic Society. Herr Riets, of Leipsic, one of the most skilled German conductors lving, has succeeded to Herr Reissiger's appointment at Dresden. (Critic) hear that Mr. Newby has decided that it is better, " under existing circumstances," not to publish " Adam Bede, jun., a Sequel." We see that Mr. Newby announces "Honesty is the Best Policy," la two volumes. Mr. Layard has returned from his Italian tour, and is preparing for the press a pamphlet on the Italian question. M. Guizot is givin& the last touch to the third volume of his Memoirs," so that we may expect it before very long in the English translation, previous volumes of which have appeared contemporaneously with the French original. We are sorry to observe the death of Mr. Kendrick, th well-known bookseller of Ludgate-hill and St. Paul's Church-yard, which took place at his residence on Wed nesday, Dec. 14. Communications, says the Athenmutn, have been received from Paris of a most gratifying, and conciliatory kind. An opinion is expressed in favour of a prompt and immediate engagement of England and France in that great work of peace, the Universal Exhibition of 1862, as the surest means of dissipating the present local and transient alarm on both sides of the Channel. This is a proposition to excite our best feelings and our best wishes. PENSION TO MRS, JANET TAYLOR—The Government has granted this lady a pension of £5O per annum, for her services in advancing the science of navigation amongst the mercantile marine. Mrs. Taylor, who is connected with a nautical and mathematical academy in the Minories, is the author of "An Epitome of Naviga tion and Nautical Astronomy ;" "An Improved Lunar Table ;" "A Planisphere to the Stars ;" " A Hand-book to the Local Marine Board Examination ;" "A Guide to the use of Maury's Charts," &c. REPEAL OF THE PAPER DUTY.—A meeting of the committee of the Newspaper and Periodical Press As sociation was held on Thursday, at Peele's Coffee-house, when it was determined that steps should be taken for a large and influential deputation to wait upon the Chan cellor of the Exchequer prior to the meeting of Parliament, to press the consideration of this tax upon his attention. IRON FRIGATES FOR HOME DEFENCE. —The Ad miralty have decided upon building two new iron frigates, in addition to those now in course of construction by the Thames Iron Shipbuilding Company and Messrs. Napier, of Glasgow. The new frigates arc to be of a similar construction to those now in progress, but of smaller dimensions. Contracts for them have just been taken, one by Messrs. Palmer, of Jarrow, and the other by Messrs. Westwood & Baillie, of Millwall. It may be well to state that the two new frigates are designed ex clusively for home defence.-sfechanics' Magazine, DEATH OF A CENTENARIAN.—Many of our readers will doubtless remember that we have several times made reference to an old man named James Gawler, residing at Organford, near this town, who had attained a patriarchal age. We have now to notice his decease, which took place at his cottage on Tuesday last, within a few weeks of his having attained the great age of 104 years ; the old man who has been for some years in re ceipt of parochial relief (3s weekly) from the Poole Union, was a widower, and resided with a re l a ti ve , an d enjoyed full possession of his faculties up to the last day of his existence. He appears to have kept himself fully occupied with his garden, which he cultivated when the weather and other circumstances permitted him to be out of doors.—Poole and South Western Herald. PREPARATIONS FOR THE WAR WITH CHlNA.—Amidst to o e g ch e in ne a ra great l preparations exertions now in and for the rebheing madeto o ap p ed ro i v ti i o d n e every adjunctive necessary for sustaining the expedi tionary force in health, vigour, and general effective ness. Foremost in consideration, in cooking for army or navy, is the obtaining of fresh and pure wheaten bread. The making and baking of bread daily by the soldiers themselves, amidst the scenes of warlike strife, will be something new indeed; and great praise is due to the authorities for the means used to ensure such a necessary consummation. To fully qualify the commissary staff of the expedition for the new arrange ment, a due number of soldiers are being instructed, previous to embarkation, in the art of bread-making by machinery, at E. Stevens' Bakery ; and the bakeries of the vessels appointed for taking part in the operations against China are being fitted up with ovens and with Stevens' dough-making machines, in order that the above desirable improvements in the commissariat should be performed by the soldiers themselves. „ RoW CR B INOLINE ENEFITS TRADE.--It is a singular fact, and one which illustrates the dependence of trades of almost every kind upon the eccentricities of the devo tees of fashion, that since the extensive use of crinoline is England, the wire -drawers, and a considerable section of the wire-workers of the kingdom, have been exceed ingly busy, and are at this moment obtaining very high wages r - Tt is not easy at once fo'CompTeltenEthe cause of this phenomenon, or to trace the connection between crinoline and brass wire, but a little reflection makes the matter Cle ar . The wearers of crinoline, from the ampli tude of their costume, and the consequent difficulty of calcnlating distances, are more exposed in their homes to danger from fire than are those other ladies whose dresses project but little beyond the limits assigned, by nature to their fair forms.. Hence , the necess ity for extra-precaution . in the shape of wire fire.guardshence -- . - the pressure on the wire-trade —hence the high. rate of ~wagas referred. to. It is satisfactory' to observe, too, that an impulse has been given to art as well as to labour in the matter of &e -1 guards. All will remember the primitive na t ure o f th ose I articles hitherto used 'in nurseries, &c., bid 'now that ' they are required for the protection of the "grown-up 'childrenr and have to figure "before company,” It has been found desirable to vary their forms, materials, and prices, and to impart " style " and taste I into' their construction. They are at present used iin West-end drawing rdoms, as well •as in humbler , parlours, and must be made consonant, therefore, with • the neighbouring furnitun; the fitments of the refract ; ing and ornamental stoves, and the richly ornamented fenders. If this were.not so they would be pronounced " de-ci-dedly vulgar," and, despite their preservative value during the mazy dance, a "horrid baw." We have seen some elegant specimens of modern fire-guards, 1 and we know that several firms ;,, T burdened with orders for them ' diately and regardless, of cost.'
