LONDON, SATURDAY, DEC. 26, 1863.

Mr. TIIACKERAY'S death is more than a serious
loss to Literature. It is a loss in its way quite
irreparable. For, TIIACKERAY was indisputably
one of the Great Originals not only of English
Literature, but of all Literature. He was essen-
tially unlike any writer who had gone before him.
He stood altogether apart among his own contem-
poraries. He is never likely to be succeeded, by an-
other—no matter how rarely gifted that other might
be—who could hope in any reasonable probability
to be regarded es qualified to fill up the vacancy
I,t ft by this Great Original, abruptly left by his
I'7ented disappearance from the very midst of us

deed,-Air TRACE was one just simply sui generis.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.-08Car Williams, a
shoemaker, living at 18, Fitzroy-market, was charged beforo
Mr. Knox, with violently assaulting Ellen Gould, an
elderly woman, residing in the same house.
Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, prose-
cuted.

It appeared that the brother of the prisoner and the com-
plainant were having a few words, when the prisoner rushed
in and struck the complainant a violent blow on the nose,
breaking it. She was taken to the University College Hos-
pital, and attended to, but still seemed to suffer a great
deal. _

In answer to Mr. Knox, the complainant said she had
given the prisoner no provocation whatever.
The prisoner said that the complainant was about to strike
his mother, when he interfered, and being himself attacked,
he struck a blow in self-defence.

There being reason to think that there was some truth in
the prisoner's statement, Mr, Knox fined the prisoner 20s.
or 7 da3 a. _ . .

CRUELLY TORTURING A HORSE.—James Clark, a brick-
maker, of Amersham, Bucks, bald to be in an extensive
way of business, and John BAldwin, a carter, in his em -
ploy, were charged by Mr. Wm. Love, chief officer of the
Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the
former with having caused a horse to be cruelly tortured,
and the latter with torturing the same.

appeared from the evidence of Inspector Garforth, of
the E division, that.he took Baldwin, the:driver of the horse,
into custody on the 13th inst., while driving the animal in
Mortimer street. The wretched animal was in a most
deplorable state, and it is a matter of surprise that it could
have walked the distance, leaving the load it had to draw
out of the question. The defendant Baldwin was remanded
till to-day, and Mr. Love new proceeded against his master,
he (Baldwin) being discharged.

Mr. Cherry, the veterinary surgeon, having deposed that
he could scarcely call the poor animal a horse, it being
only the shadow of one—poor, weak, decrepit, with broken
knees of old standing, one of them recently cut to the ex-
tent of three inches, the animal having also a disease of the
shin,
Mr. Love said that was his case,

Mr. Kiioi said it was a shocking thing to work a horso
in such a state, and he would advise Mr. Clark to have it
destroyed.

After some conversation Mr. Clark consented to this
course ; and as the expenses incurred amounted to £2 25.,
Mr. Knox said he would merely impose a fine of one
shilling.

The Society's officer was then ordered to see the horse
put out of its misery.

AMERICA.

SOUTHAMPTON, DEC. 26.

The Hamburg American Company's screw steam-
ship Saxonia, Capt. N. Trautmann, from New York
at 12 a.m., on the 13th inst., arrived off Cowes at
5.50 p.m., and went on to Hamburg.
She brought 16 passengers for this port and 44
for Hamburg; 90,000 dols. for England, 1,500 dols.
for Hamburg, and a full cargo.
Her news is anticipated.
Fine weather and variable winds were experi-
enced the greater part of the voyage. Off Sandy
Hook the Saxonia passed the American ship John
M. Wood ; in lat. 47.40 N., long. 34.3 W., the ship
Lady Millon, of London, bound east; and off Port-
land the clipper-ship Scarsfelt, bound for Hong-
kong ; the American ship, 3d pendant 6,251, and
the English ship, 3d pendant 6,590, bound west.

DENMARK.
RESIGNATION OF THE MINISTRY.
COPENHAGEN, DEC. 26.
The Ministry have tendered their resignation,
which has been accepted by the King.
Russia and England continue to exercise a pres-
sure upon Denmark. Both Powers represent that
Prussia insists upon the abolition of the November
constitution, in default of which she will with-
draw from the London protocol of 1852, whereby
war might ensue.
England and Russia have also declared that they
would not in such a case assist Denmark.

The King wished to obtain the sanction of the
Rigsraad to a suspension or the constitution, and
to assemble that body for the purpose. The Mi-
nisters thereupon declared that they could not
assume the respOnsibility of such a step, and would
rather accept war, even should Europe leave Den-
mark isolated.

Several members of the Right have been asked
by the King to form a Ministry, but have all de-
declined.

HAMBURG, DEC. 26.

Advices from Copenhagen arrived here state
that Sweden advocates the withdrawal of the
November constitution.

It was believed that a Ministry would be found
by Baron Scheel Plessen, Herr von Criminil, and
Count Maltke.

The King observed yesterday to the officers of
the army and navy that he hoped still to preserve
peace in accordance with the constitution.
It is said that his Majesty will visit the army on
Monday.
It is stated upon good authority that the fortress
of Rensdburg and the tete-du pont of Friedrich-
stadt will be evacuated, the latter being razed.

METROPOLITAN WATERS IN SEPT., 1863.

Some of the waters used for domestic purposes in London,
according to the analyses of Dr. Robert Dundas Thomson,
F.R.S., have been purer, while others have contained more
foreign ingredients than in the preceding month. The Kent
Company's water has been distinguished by the organic
matter bming nearly all oxidised, and therefore comparatively
harmless. The Thames waters have been generally loss
impure than in August.

Last week the births of 962 boys and 911 girls—in all,

1,863 children, were registered in London. In the 10 cor-
responding weeks of the years 1853-62 the average number
(corrected) was 1,818.
At the Royal Observatory, Grcenwi,^,h, the mean height
of the barometer ha the week was 29.600 in. The reading
rose to 29.88 in on Monday, and fell to 2938 in on Friday.
The mean temperature of the air in the week was 53.3 deg,
which is 1 deg above the average of the same week in 43
years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). On Tuesday the
mean temperature was 7.7 deg below the average of that
day; on Thursday and Saturday it was nearly as much
above the average. The highest day temperature was 66.5
deg on Sunday. The lowest night temperature was 37.5 deg
on Tuesday. The range of temperature in the week was
therefore 29 deg. The mean daily range was 12.6 deg.
The difference between the mean dew-point temperature
and air temperature was 4 deg. The mean degree of
humidity of the air was 87, complete saturation being re•
presented by 100, which point was almost attained on Wed-
nesday. On Sunday and Monday the wind was generally
in the south-west ; in the rest of the week south-east. The
rainfall was 0.44 in., which fell on five days. At 23 minutes
past 3 o'clock on Tuesday morning a slight shock of earth-
quake was felt. One of the astronomical assistants was
observing a fixed collimator, and saw the mark apparently
descend through an angle of less than a quarter of a minute
of arc, and rise again after a few seconds of time to its
former position. No trace of the earthquake was left on
the photographic records of the self-registering magneto-
meters. There was a thunderstorm on the morning of
Thursday. Lightning was very frequent on Friday evening.
