IMPROVEMEAT 11Y GENTLEMEN'S BATS.

TITHEBARN-STREET, LIVERPOOL,

GENTLPMEN —I have given your Patent Easy-titting llat a
fair trial, and I must say it is the most comfortable hat I ever
wore, particularly when crossing the water in a windy day,
when with the old style of hat I invariably had a headache,
which with your new style is not the case. I can, therefore,
safely recommend it to any one, particularly to those subject
to headache.—l am, gentlemen, yours truly.

I have worn for some time one of the Patented Easy-fitting
Hats sold by Mr. —, and I can testify to the advantage
derived from the absence of that unpleasant pressure, particu-
larly on the forehead, usually felt from the hats generally worn.

fringement of my Patent.

CHRISTMAS CAROL

Aia—'IWIDOW MACIIREE.”
KELLY, my jewel, just listen to me—
Och, hone ! Kelly, machree
.While I tell you 'what mighty quare thin I did see,
Och, hone! Kelly, machree
As I could not expect
You your shop to neglect,
I went out to inspect,
l'Aly own time being free;)
And what sights met my view
I'll describe now to you,

och, hone! Kelly, machree
From home then I started on last Saturday,
Och,
And first to the markets I wended my way,hone! Kelly, machree !
Och, hone! Kelly, machrec!
I nc'er saw such a lot
Of civare things in one spot ;
Halt their names I've forgot,
For they quite bothered me ;
So all I can do,
Is to speak of a few,
Och, hone! Kelly, machree
To describe such a sight, faith I have not got words,
, Kell,
There was dead beef and mutton, Ocla
andhone: all kinds of birmds
Och, hone! Kelly, oelachree '
machree !
Och 'twas odd to see those
Things all hung up in rows,
Like so many scarecrows
On a branch of a tree;
There was every fowl,
From the lark to the owl,
Och, hone ! Kelly, machree

They'd pigeon, and widgeon, and paycocks, and snipe,
Och, hone ! Kelly, machree
And on some of the stalls I saw illigant
Och, hone! Kelly. machree

NEWS OF THE DAY.

The great foreign event of yesterday was the expected
speech or address by the Emperor Napoleon to the
members of the Diplomatic Corps, who, according to
custom, had been invited to wait on his Majesty on the
Jour d' an. Earl Cowley represented his diplomatic
colleagues on this occasion, but there seemed to have
been little in the words addressed to his lordship by the
Emperor, in reply to the customary congratulations,
beyond his Majesty's expression of confidence, that pro-
vided the friendly understanding between the Powers
continued to be maintained, peace would continue to be
preserved. This, in the circumstances, is not saying
much.

France commences the new year with a " political
review" in the pages of the Menifeur, thus illustrating
the advantage of the recent modifications in the law of
the press. At present the feeble efforts of the official
journalist remind us of the timid voyages of the primi-
tive marriners, who never ventured oat of sight of
shore. Who shall say, • however, on what dangerous
reminiscences and speculations the Imperial scribe may
not soon enter ? At present all we gather from the
political review is the fact that Count Teleki has been
released by the Emperor of Austria, on a promise not
again to interfere in political affairs; but this fact,
almost in the same words, we had previously learned
from the official Gazette of Vienna of yesterday.
A very important pamphlet, which is referred to in
one of our telegrams, has just been published under the
auspices of the Archduke Maximilian, a brother of the
Emperor Joseph. It is a pity that the want of the
command of the sinews of war should prevent the
realisation of the very desirable project which hiS Impe-
rial Highness there develops.
The King of Prussia was so ill on Christmas Day
that he was given over, but be has since rallied. Prince
Alfred has reached Berlin, on his way to Coburg. On
the meeting of the Chambers the government will pre-
sent bills on ministerial responsibility, on individual
liberty, on the marriage laws, the levying of taxes, &c.
The death of the Cavaliere Riccardi, Farini's son-in-
law, in Naples, an event which public rumour had
anticipated a few days, has actually taken place, on the
night of the 24th. It is still uncertain, but it is given
as extremely probable, that Farini, borne down by this
great domestic affliction, and labouring under an attack
of jaundice, will quit his post as Royal Lieutenant in
the southern kingdom. It is positively asserted in
Turin that this title will be conferred on the Prince of
Cuignano, immediately on the King's return.
The great 'exodus of the Tartars from the Crimea
continues its course. Over 60,000 of these nomadic
tribes have been conveyed last autumn in Turkish
government steamers to various parts of Turkeydom,
Salonica, Latakia, the Troad, and Smyrna.
The'Debais publishes a long article on the necessity
of French commercial men taking instant advantage of
the great opening presented for business in the vast
territory of China, now that peace has been concluded.
Our contemporary points out that English manufac-
turers will be certain not to lose a moment in availing
themselves of the market thus thrown open to the
world.

An eminent French manufacturer has just returned
to Paris from visiting the manufacturing districts of
Manchester, Birmingham, and Glasgow. He expresses
himself in terms of the warmest praise of the facility
with which he gained access to the English manufac-
tories, and of the friendly reception he met with from
all classes of Englishmen. He considers the English
manufacturer greatly superior to the French in the
organisation of labour. In other respects he regards
the French operatives as fully equal to the English.
He expects that within two years the duties imposed on
English produce imported into France will be further
considerably reduced.

M. Michel Chevalier, the well-known political econo-
mist, has been just named Grand Officer of the Legion
of Honour. This favour has been conferred on M.
Chevalier by the Emperor in testimony of his satisfac-
tion for the service rendered by M. Chevalier in the
preparation of the Treaty of Commerce with England.
On the subject of the copper mines in South Australia,
the Australian and New Zealand Gazette says some of
the mines already opened up give promise of great rich-
ness, and also of considerable permanence. And there
is a disposition to work them with a view to substantial
results. We see no reason why some districts in South
Australia shOuld not yield as large mining returns, and
support as exterthive a mining population as Cornwall
and Wales: Indeed, if we were to express a decided
opinion that such would be the case, it would not, we
believe, be out of harmony with that of nine-tenths of
our readers:

The distress among the riband weavers in Coventry,
we are sorry to say, continues without any diminution
in point of numbers, and since Wednesday lake has
been increased in intensity in consequence of thennusual
Severity of the weather, even at this season, the in-door
avocations of the weaver rendering a deficiency of fuel a
Privation scarcely less endurable than the want of food.
The efforts of the committee were, on Friday and Satur-
day, vigorously directed to affording, relief ,to sufferers
from this cause ; and, in addition to blankets and other
articles of clothing, several hundred received tickets in
those two days for a supply of coals. It was a sad
spectacle to witness in many of the streets hundreds of
men accustomed only to the delicate work of the loom,
many of them of respectable appearance, turn out with
barrows to convey from the coal-yards the fuel which
their tickets entitled them to.

As was to be feared, the storm of Sunday morning,
which accompanied the breaking up of the 'frost, has
made itself felt on various parts of the English coast, and
marked its passage by a considerable amount of damage
to both life and property afloat. The French sloop Jean
Baptiste, with a valuable cargo, was driven on shore
under the South Foreland. All hands were got safefy
on shore with the exception of the captain, who,
unfortunately, was drowned. In Cawsend Bay a
schooner was wrecked, the captain, mate, and three
men losin; their lives. At Portland Bay a Swedish
ship called the Irene was driven against the new
breakwater, when the pilot who had charge of her was
drowned. Nor has the damage been confined to the c-
Nearly all the low-lying lands throughout tb-
have been more or less flooded. Our farir-
