THE ROYAL INSURANCE • COMPANY'S • ALMANAG.=-
Thii company, which has its head-offices in Liverpool,
has 'issued an admirably-arranged and !beautifully got
Up Alnianac for 1860: .Of course, a considerable portion
of its pages are devoted to an account of its own unpor-
tant and'influezitial conipany:, But it also contains a
great deal of general information, of great value and
interest, and several pleasing varieties which combine to
constitute it a most attractive little publication. . .
.tsuna,L, D oust erna.tuni was created
on Thursday. evening in Key-strectf by the return of .a
corpse' which had left with a Very respectable train, for
interment in Smithdown Cemetery.- It appears that the
minister was at the cemetery gate when the funeral
party arrived, at a quarter; to four o'clock. They were
toldthat they had arrived too late.., The minister on
being interrogated yvhy the corpse-could not,be interred,
stated "they did not come at the
,appointed hour."

had to be taken back to-the house from whence it' was
brought.. It was, howeier, buried yesterday. . •
THE LIVERPQQL IRISH. RIFLE Bnia-a,DE.--This rifle
corps, now in course of organisation, is ,in co-operation
with the. London Irish Brigade—a body, that is under
the presidency of a distinguished list of Irish noble Men
and gentlemen. There is a divisional working committee.
for. Liverpool, which is already, we understand; at work ;
and, having power to add to their number, it will no doubt
in a short.time be greatly augmented.. It will'be seen
y the advertisement, which appeared, in our columns
yesterday, that the cominittee have flied their head-
'quarters at " The London," Where forms of application
will be supplied by the honorary secretaries. The Mar-
quis of Donegal, is chairman of the London General
'Council ; and the Liverpool brigade, being in connection
'with so influential an Irish corps in the English metro-
polis, will doubtless assume an important local position.
MORRISH'S CHRISTMAS' 'BARON.—This, which has
now become one of the fixed Christmai festivities, was
roasted and served up yesterday, at Mr. Morrish's
Merchants' Dining-rooms, Tithebarn-street, in his cus-
tomary style of comfort and liberality. The baron,
which was an admirable one, weighing 'fully 500 lbs.,
was cut from a West Highlind ox, fednnd bred by the
Earl of Galloway, at Galloway-house.' The carcase at=
tracted much attention, and Seared 'general icemmenda-
tion, while it was exhibited at the stall of, Mr. Lowthitin,
in St. John's Market: The expectations formed concerning
it were fully borne out. It was rich in flavour, and tender
as well as juicy. In the roasting of it, Mi. Morrish,
and his skilful chef de cuisine, Mr. Child, introduced a
somewhat novel agent .as a roaster-IWe mean gas.
;From the able and judicious application of this Culinary
aid the process of cooking was_ much simplified. An
exactly regulated application of heat .in the quantity
wanted, and at • the points required, was' easily main-
tained, the result being an admirably cooked joint of
the best quality and of large dimensions.
ACCIDENTS:—The • following cases ' were reported at
the Northern Hospital last night :--Hrigh Hughes, a
labourer, residing 'at 40, Upper Moon-street, Toxteth-
parlOustairied 'a severe contused back, by falling eff a
jigger-loft in a. warehouse in Clegg-street.—Patrick.

severe scalp wound by falling into the, hold. of the. ship
'Ellen Ewing, Prince's 'Dock.
SALE or WlNES.—Yesterday, a sale of wines took
place in Mr. Griffiths' rooms, Church-street. The stock
offered included choice samples of champagne,' claret,
burgundy, ports, sherries,.and hocks. The attendance
was good, and the prices realised, although not quite
equal to expectation, were fair. The biddings were spi-
Med, and, as a whole, the sale was satisfactory. •
ADELPHI THEATRE.-This theatre his produeed a
. pantomime this season quite equal to any of previous
years. , It is entitled "Cherry and Fair Star, or the
Singing Apple and Golden Waters," &c. The, gorgeous
scenery—more particularly the tranformation scene on
its first presentation created quite a furore, and that
sensation continues; coupled with the beautiful appear-
ance of the House—just newly and elegantly decorated-
-this will doubtless prove attractive. 'The pantomime
is exceedingly well put upon the stage—much credit'
being due to the scene artists, Messrs. Bickerstaff and.'
DearloVe, ; 'junior'; ' also to Mr. = Henry'Egerton,'
the . stage manager. Prince 'Cherry is sepresented
by Mi.- Lloyd, who looked and performed the
part to, perfection. Fair Star by Miss Henderson,' is
equally entitled to praise. Mr. Lloyd, as the Villainous
Prince of the Burlesque, also deserves mention for his
admirahle buffo-acting and singing. - Iris, the principal
singing fairy, peponated by Miss Ada Mordaunt, requires
especial notice. She is new to this town; bUt is evidently
well aCquaiiited with the ''stage; 4na:ii a vocal artiste of
considerable ability. We must ne conclude without
saying that' the comic portion: is well' done; void of
'Vulgarity; creating roars Oflaiighter ; 'the pantominilits'
being :—Harlequin, Mr. Moreland ; Clown Mr. Gardner
Bolen° ; Pantaloon, Mr; W. Stacey ; and ColUmbini,(.l
Miss Beacheicli and all being idniiribte in thcit
" respective roles. ' It would be injusticenot to 'Mention
the excellent ballet. arrangements, which are ' replete
with pleasing effects'; and the dancinic of Miss Clark, as
:the Premiere Danseuss of the fairy tribe.
