SHOW ROOM, 15, SOUTH JOHN-STREET, LIVERPOOL. CHRISTMAS ROAST BEEF AND PUDDING FOR THE POOR. Consideration for the feelings of our unfortunate pauper population appears, in these days, to be a scarce commo dity. Such a thing as a national consideration of such feelings does not exist. A tew isolated cases therestpay be, in parishes not utterly enslaved and unhunoanized by the Poor-law Commissiiners, in which men do remember that the aged, the infirm, the widow, and the orphan, who are relieved by their compulsory bounty, may have known better days—may have sat at the Christmas hoard in their own hontes—may have seen as-embled around them rela tives and friends, met to partake of the genial festivities of the season. and to pledge the " Merry Christmas and happy New Year." Our own parish, we are happy to aly, furnishes one of those cases. We are not, as a com munity, so utterly lost to human feeling, as to wish to be brought under the iron rule of the Commissioners. We ntunate poor would not have enjoyed the Christmas treat unanimously voted for THEM by our Select Vestry. In places, however, where the screw of the Commis sioners is in full working, the same charitable feeling is plan a correspon- dent of the London Times says : " On Saturday, being the last board-day before Christ mas-day, a collection was made amongst the guardians present, (the absent ones afterwards paid their propor tion,) for the purpose of supplying all the poor in the workhouse with roast beef and plum-pudding on Christ . Should not this course be adopted in all unions ? I trist the good example of the board of guar d. ,s I ave a —led to wilt be Universally followed, and aen toe °put of this letter will be attained." sad admission is conveyed here I A board of guar dians dare not act upon the promptings of their own feel ings. The individual members of that board must put their hands into their own pockets to be kind. Surely something is wrong here. 7 4 0 the question asked, • " Should the course be adopted in all unions ?' we give our unhesitating No. It is not boards of guardians or vestrymen who ought to furnish these festivities, but the public. The Commissioners, it will be said, will not pass the accounts of such improvi dent boards—of men who show that they have hearts. We must, therefore, be rid of the Commissioners and their heartless system. A shame it will be to Christian men and Englishmen if we suffer any law to prevent our being generous to our unfortunate fellow-mortals on this or any other occasion. THE CANADIAN TRADE We learn from a Montreal paper, that a special com mittee, to whom was referred the report of the Bo3rd of Trade of that town, dated August last, appointed to ex amine and inquire into the state of trade of the province, have put forth their report on the subject, in which they do nut entirely concur in some points with the Montreal ites, and adduce their reasons. The following are the heads : First, as regards the imperial differential duties, the committee desire to see a repeal or modification of such of them as are most burthensome, with due regard to the selection of articles that hold out a prospect of increased consumption, and to the maintenance of a sufficient re venue. This branch of the trade alone they say gives employment to three-fourths of the whole Canadian ship ping, and the farmer a market on the spot for- a great portion of his agricultural produce. The protection (of 15s. per load) produces £350,000 per annum, or more than three times the amount of the differential duties complained of as oppressive. The protection is, however, more nominal than real, the Baltic merctants having an advantage over us of about 20s. pet load, leaving a pre mium of ss. per load in favour of the foreigner, whose articles have undergone no dimunition in price. _ _ The committee concurs with the Montreal Board in desiring the repeal of the 3s. per quarter, levied on wheat imported from the United States into the colony for con sumption, the altered circumstances rendering such duty unnecessary and impolitic, and they also agree that as the colony raises a large surplus of wheat, &c., for exporta tion, the value of the surplus to be exported must regulate value of ' ..ue whole to the producer. 'On the question of the modification of the navigation laws, the committee disagree with the Board of Trade, in their report that these laws give a monopoly of the carry ing trade to British trade—an assertion contradicted by their own extracts. This so•called monopoly is given not only to the British but to the colonial shipowners, who are permitted to build vessels ad libitum, Enjoying all the pris lieges of British shipping. This gives profit able employment to a large portion of the Canadian popu lation, and encouragement to many branches of their trade. The committee explain this in a succinct manner, skewing that the Canadian shipping successfully competes Threign vessels in all quarters of the globe, except be t -erpool and New York, the vessels of the latter port having the advantages of return cargoes of goods and also many passengers. The committee agree that some relaxation may safely be made in the internal trade—add ing that " every encouragement and facility ought to be afforded to draw the vast products of the great western countries through our magnificent inland splendid canals." After discussing several other points connected with -tant question, with apparent discretion, the .kve the restrictions that now operate against lon of ti— ne free naviga, the St. Lawrence in the band Of the Imperial Government, by whom they believe it to be better understood, " as involving principles and interests of great magnitude, and vast importance to the whole em pire." DEATHS BY THE BREAKING OF THE ICE.-011 Saturday, an inquest was held before Mr. Curry, on view of the bodies of Joseph Harris, aged twenty years, who resided in Regent-street, and Patrick M'Denald, aged thirteen. who resided in Henry Edmund-street. About three o'clock on Friday afternoon, deceased and his brother went out together to a pit near Great Howard street, and sat down on the bank watching a number of boys sliding. While they were so amusing themselves, a cry was made that a boy was drowning, and the de ceased Joseph went to his assistance, pulled off his own jacket, and throwing one sleeve to him, kept hold of the other. While he did so the ice gave way and he fell in. They both sunk immediately. Grappling irons were brought, and the bodies of both were taken up lifeless. — Verdict, "accidentally drowned." MESSRS. TIVENDELL'S CONCERT.—This concert took place on Wednesday evening, at the Royal Assembly Rooms, introducing, for the first time to a Liverpool au dience, Mr. H. Tivendell; a pupil of the celebrated vio linist Sporr, and his brother, a pianist of great promise. They were assisted in the instrumental pieces by Mrs. St. Albin,the well-known pianist, Mr. C. Wilberforce (violin), and by Mr. Haddock (violincello). The vocal perform ers were Miss Whitnall and Mr. Ryalls, Mr. G. Holden Officiated as conductor. Of the proficiency of the Messrs. Tivendell we cannot speak too highly. On their respec tive instruments they prove themselves very proficient. and eminently deserving of the support of the public. Mr. H. Tivendell, especially, delighted us by his .violin playing. The concert, as a whole, was very superior to the usual run o f such entertainments, and gave great satis faction. The audience, however, was not such as it de served to be, and as we trust it will he on another occas i on . _ _ The Gentleman's Magazine in 1761 prophecied the pre sent condition of Westminster bridge, in an argument against building piers in caissons.. - TIIE WATER LILY.—It is a marvel whence this perfect flower derives its loveliness and perfume, springing, as it does, from the black mud over which the river sleeps, and where lurk the slimy eel and speckled frog, and the mud turtle, whom continual washing cannot make clean. It is the very same black mud out of which the water lily sucks its obscene life and noisome odour. Thus we see, too, in the world, that some persons assimilate only what is ugly and evil from the same moral circumstances which supply good and beautiful results—the fragrance of celes tial flowers—to the daily life of others..—Afargarel Fuller. STATE OF IRELAND. The state of this unhappy country is becoming quite appalling. Every newspaper is filled with accounts of murders perpetrated or attempted, robberies of food or of arms, riotous outrages, and even destruction of the very provisions, for the want of which numbers are perishing. The Mayo Constitution of the 22d inst. contains an ac count of seven inquests held, in which the verdicts have been " died from'starvation and want of food." And from an official document, noticed in the same paper, the number of committals of criminals awaiting trial up to the 20th December was 241, whilst it was only 137 in the cor responding period last year, being an increase this year of 104. The Dublin News Letter narrates an attempt to murder a deputy lieutenant of Athlone and his brother, by firing at them whilst driving up the avenue of their own demesne ; and adds wish respect to the occurrence " No one can assign the slightest reason for this diabolical at tack. There are not better landlords, or more exi-ellent resident gentlemen, in any county in Ireland. They keep packs of hounds, and contribute in every way to the amusement of the gentry, as well as to the employment and relief of the peas.infry in their neighbourhooil." . The Banner of Ulster informs us of the robbery, on the highway, and attempt to murder a respectable farmer and horse-dealer, who was " left for dead," and whose chance of recovery is still very precarious. The TVater ford Chronicle narrates the circumstance of the forcible plunder of a boa , loaded with flour in the river Barrow, by a party of seven or eight men, who boarded her, beet the skipper very severely, fastened him in the locker, and carried away twenty sacks of superfine flour. The Kil kenny Moderator contains an account of a desperate attempt, by a mob, moon the life of an engineer employed under the Board of Works, his crime being that he re fused to order his superintendents to give indiscriminate employment to all applicants immediately. The gentle man in question succeeded in escaping, by the aid of the pay-clerk of the district, to a neighbouring house, which the mob surrounded, remaining all night, but not ventur ing an attack. The same paper notices the plunder of the cart of a bread contractor, by a mob of men and women, who carried off 120 loaves, and even smashed the bread cart. It is added—" This outrage is altogether inexcu sable, the perpetrators or it having just risen from a most abundant meal of excellent stirabour." A similar occurrence had taken place in Callan Union, the perpetrators being women alone ! The Contractor has had furnished him twice a day a military escort for his supply. The 'Tipperary Vindicator gives a long list of similar offences of which the following are s few specimens : —"A man named Thomas Hickey was committed to our gaol yesterday, charged with appearing in arms and firing at Thomas Lahy and Mary Lahy. at Pallasdonohal, in this county, on the 14th instant. When arrested Hickey had in his pocket a bank receipt for £6O. On Tlorsday night last, as a man named John Sheppard was returning from Fethard to his house near Cashel, he was waylaid and beaten in such a savage manner that he is still insensible. When discovered his pockets were turned inside out. On the night of the 14th instant, a party of armed men enter- ed the house of John Maher, of Frehans, near Uaber, and robbed him of a powder flask. They took a half guinea from his wife, and beat all the inmates, Maher himself so dreadfully, that his life is in danger. On Friday last, three cars laden with flour, the property of Patrick Hayes, of Limerick, were waylaid and attacked at Barnlough, on their way from Caber to Bansha, by about 30 men, one of whom was armed with a sword, and the remainder with spades and shovels, who forcibly car ried away eight sacks, containing one ton of flc;ur. On .Friday last, as two carmen were on their way from Chan mel to Dundrum with two loads of Indian meal, the pro perty of the relief committee of Dundrum, they were waylaid and attacked at Dangan by a party of ten fel lows, four of whom were armed with guns and pis'ols, they forcibly carried off six bags of the meal. Two of the party were subsequently arrested and identified by the carmen. On Saturday night last a farmer named Doyle, who had just returned from America, was robbed of Xl7O in this town." _ _ In this desperate state of things, the mania for the possession of fire-arms continues. With respect to the class of persons amongst whom it prevails, the Limerick Chronicle contains the following correction of a very general delusion :—" It has been asserted, with some show of truth, that this ` popular armament' is confined exclusively to the gentry and the more substantial farmers ; such, however, is far from being the fact. It will be admitted that none but the poorest class of the labourers leave this country in order to procure work at the other side of the channel ; and it has been observed in Dublin, which is the leading port of debarcation, that some of the money earned in England has been spei.t there in the purchase of tie-arms. Among a gang of men lending at the quays, a gun slung over the shoulder of a half-clothed peasant is not altogether a novelty even here." A reference to any of the cheap gunsmiths upon some of our northern deck quays, would at once tell us what is the class of passengers to Ireland who are gun buyers. What, however, is to be the upshot of all this? We are doing what we can to feed those in Ireland aho can work. We shall shortly have to adopt some steps for the relief of those who cannot work, and who are dying of famine in their cabins or on the highways. What are we to do with those who will not work, but prefer to lice by robbery and murder? There are, apparently, no trifling number of the peasantry who are thus disposed ; and, doubtless, the government must endeavour to protect the well affected, for whom they are devising most expensive measures of relief, from the exactions and barbarism of the disaffected. THE CHRISTMAS PANTOMIMES Our Theatre Royal opened on Saturday evening, under the management of Mr. Simpson, with the usual contribu tion of fun for the amusement of our Christmas holiday keepers, and the more than usual treat of MadameVestris and Charles Mathews. Of the former, too, the present is a farewell visit, previous to her retirement from the stage. The performances commenced with the National Anthem, which was excellently sung by Madame Vestris and the company, in which we could not perceive that the fair cantatrice had lost any portion of her attractive quali ties, or hPr voice its volume and sweetness. The National Anthem was succeeded by Mr. Chas. Mathews' comedy of " Used Up," of which all that we can say was that his original character of Sir Charles Coldstream was sustained by him most effectively. " Beauty and the Beast" was next brought out in a style of magnificence seldom seen even at this theatre, Madame Vestris sustained the part of Beauty, and executed the music allotted to her with great taste and effect. " Patter v. Clatter" followed, and the evening concluded with the operetta of " No." The company engaged by Mr. Simpson, so far as we have as yet had an opportunity of judging, contains some first rate actors ; and the arrangements for the season promise many novelties. The theatre was crowded and uproarious, as usual at this festive season. The Royal Adelphi Theatre commenced with a grand romantic tale, entitled the Seven Castles of the Passions, which was got up in excellent style, and elicited approba tion from a crowded audience ; after which followed " Hop-o'-my-Thumb." The performances concluded with a new farce entitled " Bounce, or the Ojibbeway In dians." We observe that Miss Cushman, and her sister, appear next werk. At the Royal Amphitheatre the eques trian season commenced on Saturday, with a grand mili tary spectacle of the campaign of the Punjauh, with scenes in the c4cle, and a new grand comic pantomime, of great splendour. The company at this house was excellent. THEATRICALS AT WOBURN ABBEY. The Duke and Duchess of Bedford, since Friday week, have been surrounded by a distinguished circle, nt Woburn Abbey. comprising the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk and the Ladies Mary and Adeliza Fitzallan Howard, the Marquis of Granby, the Dowager Countess or Sefton and Ladies. Molyneux, Viscount Mandeville, Viscountess Bury, Lord and Lady Charles Russell and Hon. Edward and Hon. Katherine Russell, Lord Cosmo Russell, Lord Edward F. Howard. Mr. A. and Lady C. A. Sandford, Mr. A. Stafford O'Brien, Mr. S. Rogers, Mrs. and Miss Magnaic, Mr. B. Lyons, &c. On Satut day evening the "Theatre Royal, Woburn, Abbey," as it is called, was open for private theatricals, the performances under the patronage of the Duchess of Norfolk. It was announced that the dramatic exposition was for that night only. We supply the subjoined offiche of the evening. "THIS EVENING, SATURDAY, THE 19TH DEC., 1846, (Fur this night only,) . .

DISTINGUISHED APPEARANCE OF THE AUTHOR ! So well known at the Westminster House, His first appearance on these boards. A MOST DECIDED HIT ! Viva/ Regina." The doors opened at half-past eight, and the per formance commenced at nine o'clock. It was warmly applauded by a brilliant audience. The dialogue was admirable, and those assuming characters in the dramatic charade acquitted themselves admirably. Mr. A. Stafford O'Brien, M.P., was the author, and his classic acquirements are known to be of the highest order. Our Manchester friends are not fond of being accused of violating the courtesies of gentlemanly life. They are. however, laying themselves sadly open to the charge, by the way in which they are conducting the present elec tioneering movement there. Amongst other specimens of gentility, Mr. Bright accuses the Manchester Gear dian of " fraudulently perverting his speeches," and that paper in return alleges that Mr. Bright has made a charge which he knew to be unfounded. DINNER AND BALL.—On Wednesday last the painters held their annual dinner and ball, at Mr. B. Sykes's, the Odd Fellow's Hall, Sir Thomas' Buildings. The viands and liquors were of the heat quality, and the attention of the worthy host and hostess to tha comfort of the guests gave the utmost satiataction. Mary toasts> and songs were enthusiastically given, and tbe company separated at an early hour, highly pleased w;th the evening's enter tainnvnt. THE LIVERPOOL PHILOSOPHICAL AND LITERARY SOCIETY. IMPORTANT LECTURE ON THE SUPPLY OF WATER TO LIVERPOOL ?Last night a meeting of this Society was held in the Lecture-room of the Royal Institution, the principal at traction of the evening being the announcement of a paper to be read by John Cunningham, Esq., Architect, " On the Geological Composition of the Neighbourhood of Liverpool, as regards the Supply of Water." The room was filled to repletion by scientific and literary gentlemen, and Dr. Booth, the President of the Society, ably occu. pied the Chair. From the lateness of the hour, we must pass over two communications of considerable interest, by Mr. Hardy, and the Rev. T. Dwyer, and can but supply a bare outline of Mr. Cuu❑ingham's highly in teresting, and most able paper. After a brief introduction, explanatery of the peculiar geological strata i►► the district surrounding Liverpool, tha lecturer stated that the question before them was one of great importance to the inhabitants, both as regarded their domestic comforts and their sanatcry condition. A good and sufficien' supply of water was especially necea sary for the welfare of the poor; for whom the Corpora tion bad liberally provided wash-houses acrd baths. The supply of water was not, however, nearly sufficient, or at a sufficiently low price. But he did not blame the water companies, who had done their best under the circum stances, yet as they could not do all that was required, he trusted they would ab tam from all parliementary oppo _ sitien to a more efficient measure of supply. He had himself given up some opinions which he had entertained three years ago, owing to finding that wells in the imme diate locality had become lets productive, and would finally verge towards exhaustion. The lecturer then divided his subject into several •ge logical heads. and proceeded to show that, from the formation of the several strata in this neighbourhood to a great depth, (which he illustrated by diagrams and a geological pap,) and also taking into account the average annual weight of rain that fell, it would be impossible to obtain the maxi mum supply from the locality which would be required some years hence for so large and increasing a population. lie showed that bath on the west side of Lancashire along the Mersey, and in the Wirral peninsula, the upper strata of the tertiary sandstone were underlaid by strata of clay. &c., impervious to water, and broken up and dislocated by some immense internal force ; beneath these were the coal measures, also impermeable ; so that he concluded that it was impossible to obtain the supply that would be wanted by any system of artesian or ether wells. There was also a great loss of surface water by agricultural drainage, &c., and much of it was deteriorated by various admixtures of deleterious matters. He proposed as a means of s pply for at least some years to come, that toe whole basin from opposite Runcorn, on the south, along the Goatacre valley, and beyond Bootle on the north, should be perforated with wells and the water col lected. The east side of the basin was to be preferred, as the dip of the strata of sand stone was towards that direction. This basin contained an area of about 80 square miles; hut, calculating as he did, that about nth on!o of the water that fell upon an average annually in this lo cality, namely, 32 to 38 inches, all that could be raised would be only 12,730,000 gallons a-day. Exhaustion of the water companies' workings was already going on. and by going deeper little more could be obtained, and the cost woull be much increased by additional pumping. Wells in the town were also deteriorated by the percola tions from cess-pools and other impurities, and in that in Sobo-street the water had become harder on its being deepened, probably from the admixture of magnesia from the beds of clay alluded to. He had beard of a scheme to sink for water close to the river, on the supposition that it would be found to be fresh, which was absurd, for though fresh-water springs were found under the level of this was caused by the pressure cf higher water on shore forcing it up, and if wells were sunk in such vi- the sea; cinity, the operation would soon be reversed, and they would fill with salt water, which could not be made fresh by any kind of filtration.

If they surest, they would obtain but little more water, for these too were impermeable to the fluid, and the chances would be that what was obtained would be rendered unfit for use by combinations of sulphur and ferruginous deposits. An interesting discussion ensued, in which several gen tlemen took part, and in which Mr. Cunningham main tained his position to the conviction of his hearers. He also incid:ntally noticed the Rivington scheme, on which he was about to report professionally to the Corporation. There, the whole water was derivable from the surfs e, - nd thongs, some of the rivulets from the hills were clear and fine, they were liable to deterioration during rains, not only from the peat soil, but from dyeworks, manure in the fields, &c.,so that the sheep were as black as ink. The river Alt was but an insignificant stream. The dip of the free stone strata at Rivington was also to the east, so that the east side of the valley was the most promising point to obtain water, for Manchester, if wanted. It was stated that it had been contemplated to water Manchester from Rivington, bnt the scheme had been re jected in favour of another locality. A vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Cunningham for his admirable exposition of his'views. We have heard it whispered that he has in preparation a suggestion for the supply of the town with excellent water in abundance from another quarter far to the north ; but in the mean time he suggests, as the least expensive, and as sufficient for some years, if a large outlay is not at once determined upon, to obtain the nec Childwall valley, as stated,/withou water ry pure st from below cc to surface eh fur the Southern The collection at St. Barnabas' Hospital has been increased to £lOO Yesterday morning, I\iartha Thornton, a woman of be ween 50 and 60 years of age. who resides at ii, Paul street, slipped in Marybone, and broke her thigh.

A printing office in a village like Newton, however humble in pretension; a year ago, would have been con&dered one of the greatest wonders of the age. Wonders, however, do occasionally appear, and one of the greatest we know of is the conversion, in such a place, of a building larger than the establishments of any of the metropolitan morning papers, or of the printers to • her Majesty, into a place for pressmen and printers' devils. The fact, however, is, that the London and North-western Railway Company, among other amalgamations and con soli& Cons, have contracted with a practical person to tin ttrtake this extensive department exclusively ; and the house in question has been selected as the best adapted for the purpose, all things considered, upon any portion of their lengthened territory. FIRST IMFORTATION OF BRAZILIAN SUGAR.—An eminent house in the Br, zilian trade, in Liverpool, has a cargo of 300 tons of sugar, direct from Rio, now at Cork, with orders to proceed hither. This will he the first cargo brought into Liverpool, and the second into the United Kingdom, under the bill of last session, im posing a differential duty upon colonial and foreign sugars —one of the first acts of Loid John Russell's adminis tration after the retirement of the Peel cabinet. The duty at which this cargo will come in will be 21s. per cwt. (reduced from 635.): colonial sugar, of. corresponding quality, pays 13e. Brazilian sugar has been seen occa sionally here, under the old regirae, but only in small quantities, and there was no trade in it : the bulk of it was sent to the continent, where the English merchant, in one way or other, frequently bad the profits on his adventures exposed to no inconsiderable abstractions. The trade, both home and return, will now lay in its legi timate hands.
