THE WOODEN HOUSES.

The loading of the ships at Southampton with sup-
plies of "wooden houses and other stores on acoount of
the French Government, progresses very slowly. The
Saladin, Coriolanus, and Swiftsute are receiving their
cargoes, and the former vessel will shortly leave in
tow of a steamer for Balaklava. The delay appears
to be in the receipt of the houses from the con-
tractors. A considerable quantity of wooden huts
for the British troops have been lying at South-
ampton waiting opportunities for shipment, and
thus it has happened that, while the French
ships have been waiting at Southampton for the
wooden huts, the English huts have been waiting for
ships to convey them ! A slight accord between the
French and British authorities on this head would have
prevented the delay which has taken place. A large
quantity of asphalted felt, for covering the houses for
the English troops in the Crimea, is lying about the
Southampton Docks, exposed to the wind, rain, and
dust, and will probably be nearly rotten and worthless
when it arrives at its destination. This felt is packed in
rolls ready for use, and the printed instructions on each
roll appear to be indifferently attended to. The screw
steamer Union touched at Southampton on Wednesday,
on her way to the Crimea, and embarked a small num-
ber of huts on account of the British Government.
London, England, 1855-01-05

THE MECHANICS AT SHEERNESS.

A number of mechanics have been lent from Chatham
yard for duty at Sheerness, to expedite the refitting of
the ships there. A number of extra hands have been
put on the Russell, to expedite her leaving the dry dock
No. 2, in which the Amphion is to be placed. They
are all working over time. This ship (the Russell) will
carry a very heavy armament at an easy draught of
water; she is being fitted to carry Lancaster's heavy
guns, on traversing pivots, on her upper deck, and it is
also reported that she will be provided with two of Cap-
tain Julius Roberts's (of the Royal Marine Artillery) sea
service mortars to throw the 13-inch shells.

DEATH OF MR. ROGERS, THE POET.

We regret to state that Mr. Rogers, the poet, died
this morning, at half an hour after midnight, at his house
in St. James's-place, in the presence of Dr. Beattie and
Mr. Paine, his attendant.

THE TEL TRADE, Dec. 17.—The deliveries in London
made up for the week were 723,6251 b., being an in-
crease of 43,8961 b., as compared with the previous
statement.

GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY OT CANADA.—Advices
from Canada state that the Hamilton and Toronto line
of the Great Western Railway of Canada had been suc-
cessfully opened for traffic on the 3d inst.
The departures from the port of London for the Aus-
tralian colonies during the week have comprised six ves-
sels—two to Sydney, two to Port Philip, one to Ade-
laide, and one to Swan River—with a total capacity of
4,406 tons. The rates of freight exhibit a tendency to
firmness.

SIR COLIN CAMPBELL—The baggage and camp re-
quirements of this distinguished man leave this day for
the Crimea. Sir Colin follows almost immediately, and
proceeds to his destination via Paris. In the latter be
will make a very brief stay. A special steamer will be
at his disposal at Marseilles.
JURIDICAL SOMETY.—Last night a meeting of the
members of this society was held at their rooms, St.
Martin's-place, Mr. Sidney Smith in the chair, when
Mr. W. H. Bennett read a highly-interesting paper
" On the career of the late Sir Samuel Romilly as an
advocate, jurist, and legislator."
The final settlement of the affairs of Mr. Oliver, the
extensive shipowner of Liverpool, will prove very dis-
advantageous to the creditors. The liabilities are now
found to be7about 1,900,000/. sterling, while the avail-
able assets will not realise, it is to be feared, more than
sufficient to pay 2e. 6d. in the pound.—Glasgow Daily
Mail.

The letters from Paris yesterday state that the rate of
exchange had become rather firmer, the renewed pressure
for money on the Bourse having been met with less diffi-
culty than had been apprehended. The applications for
discount at the Bank of France were, however, very nu-
merous. The Hamburg accounts describe no mitigation
in the demand.

A. WELL-MERITED GRATIJITY.—The Board of Trade
have awarded a gratuit:, of 501. to the widow of Thomas
Cable, jun., an extra boatman in the service of the
Coast Guard at Aldborougb, for the conspicuous gal-
lantry displayed by her husband on various occasions,
and especially on the occasion of the wreck of the
Swedish brig Vesta, near Orfordness, when, after great
exertions, he saved the life of a Swedish lad, but lost his
own life in so doing.

THE WAR IN ASIA.

The latest intelligence down to the beginning of
the present month states that Omer Pacha had
neither attacked, invested, nor advanced on Kutais,
or was even likely to march thither. The Sirdar
is endeavouring to establish himself in possession
of the lower courses of the rivers of the country
bordering on the coast from Redont Kaleh to Fort
Nicholas, and so secure a good basis for future
operations. His plans may, perhaps, be consider-
ably modified by the fall of Kars.
Now that Kars has surrendered, the Ottoman
army in Asia, independent of that acting under
Omer Pacha, consists of a corps of 13,000 men
under Vely Pacha ; another of 8,000, under Selim
Paella ; and a small force under Mnstapha
which when last heard of was near Ouzourgete.

NEWSPAPERS SENT VIA PANAMA.

GENERAL POST OFFICE, December, 1855.—1 n conse-
quence of the great expense which is incurred in con-
veying newspapers in the mails across the Isthmus of
Panama, it is found necessary, in order to cover the
payment made for this service, to levy, in addition to
any postage now chargeable, a transit rate of twopence
upon every newspaper forwarded in the British mails by
that route.
The following is a table of the rates which will in
future be chargeable on the newspapers in question ;

ADELPHI.

Lact night, Mr. Oxenford's version of .11Ioliere's comedy
of Tvttec, originally produced at the Haymarket under
the management of Mr. Webster, was brought forward
at this theatre. Mr. Webster's well-known impersona-
tion of the charact2r of Tartuffe has lost none of its for-
mer healthfulness and vigour. Madame Celesta as
Elnoire, and Mrs. Keeley as Dorina, the confidante, were
admirable representations. The other characters were
effectively sustained, and the piece, both as regards
scenery aid dresses, was most carefully put upon the
stage.

RUSSIA.

A letter from Odessa of the sth, in the Cologne
Gazette, says :—" The Grand Duke Nicholas ar-
, rived here to-day, and alighted at the palace of
Prince Woronzoff. There are many officers and
generals here who have made the campaign in the
Crimea, either to recover from their wounds or to
take repose. The medals for the defence of Sebas-
topol are of gold for the officers, and of silver for
the privates. On one side is this inscription,
" Dedicated to the brave army in eternal memory
of the immortal defence of Sebastopol ;" and on
the other, From the ever-to-be-regretted Empe-
-1 ror Nicholas, and from Alexander.' "
The last number of the Invalide Russe contains
the report of the Hetman of the Cossacks of the
Black Sea, Major-General Philippson, on the
expedition sent on the 22d October last against
the Tchertcheneiffets, an independent tribe
of the Caucasus, inhabiting the country to
the south of the Kuban, and which made con-
tinual incursions into the Russian territory.
Aoul-Yedentsoukai, the principal village of these
mountaineers, was attacked unexpectedly by a de-
tachment of Cossacks, who had four pieces of can-
non and eight mortars, and was given up to the
flames. But when the conquerors were retiring,
with some prisoners and 300 head of cattle, they
were constantly harassed by the mountaineers ;
several times, in fact, the Tcherkes assembled in
considerable numbers, attacked the Russians, and
obliged them to cut their way through. In one of
these attacks the chief of the natives, Hadschi-
Hakoi Hadsh, is said to have been mortally
wounded. The conflict was prolonged on these
conditions for an entire day, and in the even-
ing of the 23d of October the Russians re-
crossed the Kuban. Their chief admits a loss
of four men killed and one officer and 43 men
wounded. As for the Tcherkes, they are said
to have had 200 killed and wounded. The re-
port praises a young ensign, who, before the
commencement of the affair, went with four Cos-
sacks to reconnoitre the situation of the village,
and who afterwards served as a guide to the
Russians.

AUSTRIA.

I The Wanderer, of the 13th, gives the following
intelligence :—" The Empress of Austria has just
escaped from a serious accident. In leaving this
day at noon for Schonbrun in a carriage drawn by
four horses the latter suddenly took fright ; the
first pair became ungovernable, and the coachman
was thrown to the ground. Happily a peasant's
cart obstructed the way, and stopped the horses of
the Imperial carriage. The Empress returned in
a hired vehicle to the palace."
A letter from Vienna, of the 13th, in the Dres-
den Journal, says :—" It is positively asserted in
well-informed circles that the mission of General
Canrobert was not to demand from the Swedish
land Danish Governments an active co-operation
in the war. France only asked provisionally for a
moral support in favour of the cause of the Allies.
It is said, in fact, that Sweden and Denmark have
placed themselves nearly on the same line as
Austria ; that they have accepted the demands of
France and England, in the form which they re-
ceived at the conferences of Vienna, and have pro-
mised their positive assistance for certain eventu-
alities. The question of co-operation, properly so
called, has been reserved ; and if a campaign be
made in the Baltic next year, the Scandinavian
States will most probably not take part in it."
The _Hamburg _News, in a letter from Vienna,
says :—,‘ A new artillery commission has been
charged with the examination of the up' prevements

of which that, arm of the service is susceptible.
The reports are addressed to the Emperor in per-

STRAND.

Last night Miss Jalia Lytton made a very successful
debut, the character selected for the occasion was Mrs.
Snooks, in the laughable farce of Domestic Squabbles,
and it is seldom that we have witnessed a de&utaitt so
completely at her ease as was the case with Miss J.
Lytton last night. This young lady possesses all the
requisites for the profession she has chosen—a handsome
and expressive countenance, a fine figure, and plenty o
good humour. She has but to study hard and she will
soon become a public favourite.

Tho Opinione of Turin states that the number of
mules lately bought in Piedmont for the British Govern-
ment amounts to 4,500, of which 3,000 have been already
shipped to the Crimea.

THE WEST INDIA MAIL.

SOUTHAMPTON, DEc. 17.
The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Parana,
Captain Ellison, arrived this day, at one o'clock,
with the usual West India mails, 40 passengers,
and a full cargo. Her latest dates are—
Greytewn ..... ...... Nov. 20 I Jacmel Nov. 27
Chagres — 23IAntigua — 29
Demerara
Carthagena — 25 Nevis — 29
Trinidad
Grenada — 26IBermuda
Jamaica 27 ' St. Thomas
Barhadees 27

The Parana brings on account of the dividends,
and oa merchants' account, the sum of $361,035 ;
and on freight gold dust and gold in bars, $256,483;
platina, $6,240 ; British coin, $10,214 ; also 309
serous of cochineal, 62 do. balk, 18 bales of sarsa-
parilla, 60 bags of cocoa, 42 packages of auccades,
53 do. sundries.
From Jamaica we have received advices to the
26th ult. The following is a summary of the news
given by the Colonial Standard :—The proceedings
of our local Legislature during the last fortnight
have not been characterised by any unusual degree
of expedition. On the contrary, it may fairly be
said that the present session has been one of the
most dilatory oa record. The Legislature was con-
vened on the 16th October, and up to the present
moment only two very trivial measures have be-
come law.

The following abstract of the passenger traffic on
our short lino of railway during the first ten years
of its existence will be considered interesting :
Nov. 24, 1846
„ 1817
„ 1848
~ 1849
„ 1850

During the above period of ten years 109,785
tons of merchandise, including 10,000 tons of dye-
woods, have been conveyed by the railway, besides
a great number of large and small stock.
Our mining intelligence continues favourable.
The weather has been unsettled of late, and
heavy rains have fallen in this neighbourhood.
We regret we cannot report favourably of the ge-
neral health of the country; fevers and diarrhcea
prevail, and we are sorry to learn that some fatal
cholera cases have been present in the penitentiary
for some time past. Trade is extremely dull.
Exchange on London, at 90 days, was quoted at
1 per cent. prem. ; 60 days, at 1i ; and 30 days,
at 2 per cent. prem.

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
Charles Marshall, 27, ship-painter, was indicted for
feloniously marrying Ellen Han'.
Mr. W. J. Payne prosecuted.
The prisoner pleaded guilty.
The father of the second wife, in answer to the court,
said that his daughter was in business in the Commer-
cial-road when the prisoner became acquaints 1 with her.
They parted in September last, and be then found that
the prisoner had been paying his addresses to a third
woman, and was about to marry her, having borrowed
money from her, as well as he had from him (witness.)
The Recorder, on looking over the depositions, said
that he found upon the examination of the prisont r be-
fore the magistrate that they had examined his first
wife upon oath against him. She was not a competent
witness, and should not have been called. It was
doubtless an error of the magistrates' clerk, and as
county magistrates were not
generally members of the
legal profession, and so well versed in the law as the
metropolitan ones, he (the Recorder) made this remark
publicly for the guidande of the county magistrates.
The prisoner was sentenced to 12 months' imprison-
ment.

Edmonton.tn. mitting magistrate was E. T. Busk, Esq.,

Samuel Sherrill and James Groves surrendered to take
their trial, for conspiring with a man not in custody to
give a false character upon the behalf of a prisoner under
conviction at the Middlesex Sessions.
Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Poland prosecuted, land Mr.
Metcalfe and Mr. Sleigh defended.
It appeared that upon the 13th of Sept. a man named
Lee pleaded guilty to a street robbery, and called three
witnesses, of whom the prisoners were two, to give him
a character, which they did, stating that he was a man
of great respectability, that they had known him for
some years, and gave the address at which they alleged
they had known him. This proved to be entirely false;
and Mr. Bodkin, who Was presiding as judge at those
sessions, sentenced the prisoner Lee to six years penal
servitude; and an inquiry, which resulted in the present
indictments, was directed. The Recorder, after hearing
part of the evidence, decided that the charge of con-
spiracy could not be maintained, and directed an acquittal.
The prisoner was then indicted upon the same facts
for perjury, and the trial was proceeding when we went
to press.
The indictments against the Rev, Thr. Vaughan, the
late incumbent of St. Matthew, Brixton, have been re-
moved by certiorari to the Court of Queen's Bench.
