DISASTER AT SEA.—The General Parkhill, here from
Charleston, reports that she rescued the captain and crew
of the William Hitchcock, from Savannah for Havre, with
a cargo of cotton. The cotton ship, it appears, was struck
by lightning on the 19th December, and set fire to.

ADJOURNED INQUEST.—The inquest on the body of the
female, named Edwards (reported in our paper of yester-
day), was resumed, and, from the medical evidence, it ap-
peared that death was caused by disease of the heart.
Verdict accordingly.

NEw YEAR'S HILA.RITIES.—Last evening Mr. Robert
Storer, fruit merchant, Temple-court, entertained all his
principal attaches, as well as a very numerous assemblage
of his private friends, to a sumptuous supper, at the
Liverpool =Arms, Grenville South. Mr. Storer presented
a generous entertainment of roast beef, plum-pudding, and
the accompaniments, to the general body of servants
attached to his various establishments. On this occasion
Mr. W. Appleton, surgeon, occupied the chair, and Mr.
Taylor, sugar merchant, officiated as vice. A more har-
monious New Year's Eve could not possibly be spent. The

THOMAS-STREET INFAIIT RAGGED SCHOOL. The ad
vantages which have accrued, and the benefits which have
been conferred upon the humblest and most destitute
classes of the community by the institution of ragged
schools, have long since been admitted to be a great fact,
and hence it is painful and disheartening to find that such
institutions are permitted to languish for want of means
in any locality; the more so in a district in which squalid
want and fearful ignorance prevail, though surrounded
by wealth and independence. For the past two years, at
a surprisingly small outlay, an immense amount of good.
has been effected by the efforts of those connected with
the Thomas-street Infant Ragged School. We find from
the reports presented :to the subscribers, that at Christ-
mas, 1855, there were in attendance at the schools no less
than 112 infants, most of whom are the children of widows,
with large families, struggling, with slight parochial aid,
and inhabiting the thickly populated district iying between
South Castle-street and Bold-street. The school is open
daily, so that the children are kept out of the street the
entire day, and at noon receive a meal prepared for them
in the school-housei and after a . few mouths training the
improvement of the littlestudents, both in appearance and
conduct, is most satisfactory; in short, the little ones are
rescued from scenes of destitution and depravity, and
where, in many instances, fearful depravity has given.
place to strict notions of morality. Besides the daily in-
struction, there are kept up two Sabbath schools—one for
infants, and the other for edler boys and girls resident in
the neighbourhood. ,With,the beneficial results that have
been accomplished, and which may be made patent to all
who may ehnn.--

FRANCE.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, SUNDAY EVENINO

The sole talk of the day is the Emperor's speech, and
military demonstration of yesterday. The former
universally considered tres belliqueut : and the declarat'
that " France has- an interest in having a numerous ell,
inured to war, ready to march wherever required," is t!
to be an intimation that the principal scene of hostilig
next spring will be nearer home than the Crimea. 1,
speech most effectually puts an end to all the rumours t"
have been current at different times, as to the EIBP,e,v
being personally favourable to peace • it Bnvi
that he is on the contrary not only 'disposed I

Crimean troops, is also considered, politically speaking, t,

I believe I can give you the real, true, and autbe
history about the pamphlet on the necessity of a Confr
