31. FOULD'S FINANCIAL REPORT.

PARIS, Jan. 10.
The following report of M. Fould, the French
Minister of Finance, has just been published :
" Sire,—ln addressing to your Majesty to-day my annual
report, I am enabled to place before your Majesty an
almost complete ezposé of the principal elements of our
financial situation.

" At the period of the year we have reached it is, in fact,
in my power to indicate with a certain amount of precision
the results of the Budget of 1863, to display in their en-
tirety those of 1864, and to establish with more certainty
the provisions of the anticipatory Budgekof 1865.
" This Budget is submitted to the examination of the
State Council, which is also occupied with the draught -of
the ordinary and extraordinary Budget of 1866.

Severe Storm and Wreck of Boats.

The Wick coast has during the past week been
visited by a succession of severe gales, which
threatened the most serious consequences to the
numerous boats engaged in the winter herring
fishing. On Thursday afternoon the weathermode-
rated, and a large number of boats proceeded to sea;
but towards evening the wind rose, and continued
to increase till the morning, when it blew a perfect
hurricane from the south-west. Early in the even-
ing, fortunately, the boats made for the harbour,
and they all succeeded in reaching it in safety, with
the exception of two, which were forced to take re-
fuge in Ackergill Bay, the wind, however, having
veered round to the north, made the position of
these two boats a perilous one ; and on Friday
morning the crews, in order to save their own lives,
deemed it advisable to run the boats ashore, which
they managed to do with considerable difficulty.
One of the boats, belonging to William Keith, was
dashed to pieces on the rocks ; but the other, be-
longing to Robert Robertson, having taken the
ground on a sandy-bank, was speedily drawn up
beyond the reach of the waves, and was found to
have sustained but little damage. On land the gale
did not pass without doing considerable mischief.
Chimney-cans and slates were blown down in every
direction, rendering the passage of persons through
the streets very dangerous. The most serious
casualty, however, occasioned by the storm, was the
death of Mr. George Dunbar, carrier between Dun-
beath and Wick. It would appear that the unfor-
tunate man, who was on his way to Wick on Friday
morning, was overtaken by the storm when near
Whaligoe. The road is very much exposed at that
place, and it is supposed that the cart, which was
laden with light and bulky goods, was caught by
the gale and capsized on Dunbar, who was likely
to have been walking at the lee side. At all events,
the cart was found overturned upon the road, with
the horse strangled in his endeavour to free himself ;
and on the cart being removed, the body of Dunbar
was found beneath, life apparently having been
extinct for a &nsiderable time.

Traders' Society, and I haver eceived a memorial to
the Lord Chancellor from them, containing their
views 'on the matter. It seems to me that it is
quite possible that the same system might not be
the best for small estates, such as traders would
mainly have to do with, although it might suit those
with which the merchants and manufacturers have
to deal. Therefore I would ask whether it would
be better to make any representation to the Lord
Chancellor of your views, as he is intently looking
out for the views of the trading classes, and if so,
whether it would be convenient for the council to
furnish me with those yiews, in order that I might
—if you were to honour me by making me your
channel of communication—and at the same time
the views of the Chamber of Commerce, together
with those of the trading community.

JANUARY.

Terrible Coal-pit Accident in Belgium,

On the 3d inst. an explosion of fire-damp 'took
place in a coal-pit called St. Catharine, situated at
Dour, in the province of Hainault, Belgium. This
pit has already been the scene of a calamity of a
similar nature, for only last year 17 miners lost their
lives in it from the effects of an explosion. .The pre-
sent catastrophe occurred just as the men were
about to leave work and ascend. At this time a
strong column of flame was seen to rush out of the
principal shaft, seize on the ropes, the machines,
and the roofs, and with the rapidity of lightning
the building erected over the shaft was in flames
from one end to the other. It would be impossi-
ble to depict the horrors of the scene which en-
sued. Mothers instantly assembled calling for their
children, children called for their parents, all utter-
ing most heartrending cries. At the time of the
explosion more than 100 workmen were exposed to
the effects of the fearful blast.

The work of delivery was commenced immediately,
but this was not an easy matter, for so dense was
the smoke which arose that the few men who at
first volunteered to descend were obliged to return,
or they would certainly have been suffocated.
The daring and humane men who had undertaken
the task of delivering those of their comrades who
might yet be alive within the pit could not be
long restrained by the obstacle which opposed
their descent, and at last they arrived at the
bottom, where lay the living and the dead. The
full extent of the calamity could not be ascer-
tained for some time, nor indeed even when the
last accounts left; but in a short time 50 living men
had been rescued, though as many dead bodies had
been met with. It was ascertained that 117 miners had
gone into the pit in the morning, and of these many
had saved themselves by getting into a new venti-
lating shaft, and others had escaped by the lad-
ders ; but more than half of those who were exposed
to the explosion perished instantly. An approxi-
mative estimate of the number sacrificed gives
54 as the total, with four wounded by the falling
of a wall ; but it is feared that this number
is below the sad reality, as but very faint hopes
were entertained of finding more living men
within the works. Eleven bodies were brought
up to the night of the 3d. inst., and 20 on the follow-
ing day. The damage caused to the interior of the
pit is very considerable. When the last accounts
left Dour 42 bodies had been recovered, and it was
calculated that at least 16 or 17 remained in the pit.

THE

,OSE.

The Union has the subjoined :—" Several journals
state the hat and the sword this year blessed by the
Pope, according to custom at Christmas, is destined
for the Emperor of Mexico, and that his holiness
intends to send the Golden Rose to the Empress
Charlotte in March next. The hat is of crimson
velvet, lined with ermine, and adorned with a gold
dove, the symbol of the Holy Ghost. This hat,
which, when the state of the Papal treasury per-
mitted, was ornamented with precious stones, was
sent by the Pope to some emperor, prince, or great
captain preparing to combat for the faith, and was
• always accompanied by a sword with a gold pommel.
The origin of this custom is recorded in the book
of Maccabeus, which mentions that the prophet
Jeremiah presented to him (Judas Maccabeus)
a gold sword, saying Receive this holy sword
which God provides you, and with which you will
destroy the enemies of the people of Israel.' Now
that wars against the enemies of religion no longer
take place, the Sovereign Pontiff sends the hat to
the sovereigns or princes who are considered most
deserving in the eyes of the Church. With regard
to the Rose, the Pope, as is well known, blesses, on
the fourth Sunday in Lent, a golden flower orna-
mented with precious stones and filled with balm
and perfumes, a symbol of the odour of sanctity
which the Church spreads over the universe. This
jewel is sent to princesses who are distinguished for
piety; to churches which are remarkable for their
attachment to the Holy See, or to States which
have rendered great services to religion. Pope
Clement XIII. sent one to the Republic of Venice,
and Alexander 111. specially blessed another in the
church of St. Mark, as an offering to the Doge
Sebastian Ziani."

PROFESSOR ANDERSON.

This gentleman issued the following Farewell
Address to the London Public on leaving St. James's

Hall, Monday, Jan. 9, to fill an engagement at the
Crystal Palace, commencing on Saturday, Jan. 14 :
• For eighteen weeks I've occupied this stage,
And, proud to say, enjoy'd much patronage ;
For such great kindness my best thanks are due—
And now, to-night, my gratitude will show.
My WORLD of MAGIC o'er the world has been,
As good, I fancy, as you've ever seen ;
And let me add that not one week pass'd o'er
Without inviting Children of the Poor,
Feeling that they should have some share of glee,
And therefore THOUSANDS were admited FREE!
Now, if I've pleas'd the short time I've been here,
My hopes are gain'd—your visits render'd dear.
But soon, alas ! the Curtain will be drawn,
And we be parted, and these scenes be gone.
Still, in remembrance I shall long retain
Your hearty welcomes, o'er and o'er again.
My Children join with me in this adieu,
And own their pleasure for those smiles from you ;
For smiles like thine will stimulate them on
To act their parts when I am past and gone.
My TREASURER, too, your kindness don't forget,
And hope he pleased when in the Cabinet,
Where, strongly handcuj'd every night to view,
Released himself to be more linked to you.
And, to conclude, our gratitude we tend—
Not in mere words, for they cannot be penn'd.
Our actions, then, we trust, will satisfy ;
And, for the present, wish you all—Good-bye.
We are informed that the Professor's exhibitions
at St. James's Hall have been most successful.

MR. W. S. WOODIN, the accomplished mimic, is
at present performing at the Cardiff Theatre, in Wales.
WAVES OF HEAT, WAVES OF MORTALITY.—If we
carefully observe the fluctuation of the thermometer
by the side of the mortality of the nation at large, no very
remarkable relationship seems to be traceable between the
one and the other. But if, in connection with the mortality,
care bo taken to isolate the cases, and group them accord-
ing to their ages, a singular and significant series of facts
follow, which show that after a given age a sudden decline
of the temperature influences mortality by what may be
considered a definite law. . The law is, that up to the age
of 30 years variations of temperature exert no influence on
the mortality of the population generally ; but after the age
of 30 is reached, then a fall of temperature which is suffi-
cient to cause an increased number of deaths, acts in a given
manner—as it may bo said in waves or lines of intensity,
according to the years of the people. If we make these
lines nine years long, we discover that they double in force
at each successive point. Thus, if the fall in the tempera-
ture be sufficient to increase the mortality at the rate of one
person of the age of 30, the increase will run as follows t-of
d One death at 30 years of age ; two deaths at 3a9triseaarst
57
age ; four deaths at 48 years of age ; eig
9deaths at 75

NELL Y DEANE:
A STORY OF EVERY-DAY LIFE.
' "Nelly Deane' is a beaut:ful story of sorrow and suffer-
ing, and of sin, too ; but so mixed up with such genuine
goodness—even where one might least look for it—and such
bright happiness, that the story can leave no mo urnful im-
pression on the reader's mind."—John Bull.
" This is a novel that most readers will be pleased with,
and '0 many it will afford great delight. It is a simple story
of love, in its many phases, false and true ; its hopes and
fears, disappointments, obstructions, and final happiness;
and it is told so winningly, as to secure attention when the
writer's power is least under the control of her judgment.—
News of the World.

" It has not been our fortune to read for a longtime a novel
which, upon the whole, can be said to be better conceived,
more pleasingly and carefully developed, and at the same
time more intensely interesting, . than ‘Nelly Deane.' "
Caledonian Mercury.
" A. very charming heroine is Nelly Deane—one of those
artless, loveable characters whom Wordsworth has cele-
brated. . . The wicked wiles of Stella Morton, the foolish
confidence of the young heir, the shipwreck the mistaken
ideatity, and, last of all, tile extraordinary rencontre of the
Scottish servant and the dying sinner, make up altogether a
story of considerable interekt. Old Dr. Brown is a very de-
lightful, and not an impossible character." The Sun.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL.

It appears that the directors of this company, at
a board meeting held in New York on the 22d ult.,
resolved that a dividend of 5 per cent. in cash, free
of Government tax, be paid on the Ist of February
next to the holders of full,paid shares of the com-
pany on the register to the 23d of January inst.
The financial statement for October showed that
17,157 acres of land had been sold by the company
during that month for $207,746, and that the cash

iron-cased vessels. It was originally proposed to
place four masts in the Bellerophon, and the vessel
was designed to carry that number, but recent ex-
perience has proved that in vessels of little more
than 300 feet—which is the length of the Bellero-
phon—no advantage whatever is obtained, but
rather the contrary, by their having a fourth mast.
The first step towards the extension of Ports-
mouth dockyard has been taken in the commence-
ment of the new public landing-place, or " hard,"
at Landport. This is intended to supply the place
of the present landing-place at Anchor-gate, adjoin-
ing the dockyard, the latter being within the area
of the dockyard extension.
The new binnacle lamp, invented by Mr. C. W.
Brown, an officer of the Civil Department of the
Navy, having been admitted to a series of official trials
at Deptford and Woolwich, with a view of testing its
efficiency, has been approved by the Lords Commis-
missioners of the Admiralty; and by a special order
of the Storekeeper-General of the Navy the first of
the kind is now fitted on board her Majesty's steam
storeship Buffalo, Master-Commander J. Pook.
The Buffalo sailed yesterday, laden with a full cargo
of victualling and dockyard stores, for Portsmouth
and Plymouth. The new lamp was lighted and
kept burning l 5 hours without trimming before
the ship's departure from Deptford, for the inspec-
tion of Capt.-Superintendent, Capt. Noddell, the
Master-Attendant, and other officials of the yard.
They all spoke in favourable terms of the merits of
the new lamp, the entire face of the dial being
clearly seen, and the indicators manifest under all
the circumstances of the trial. A favourable report
was accordingly forwarded to the Board of Ad-
miralty. _ _

The two new guns in course of construction after
the specifications submitted to the War Department
by Mr. R. S. Fraser, Assist.-Inspector of Machinery
and Director of the Royal gun factories at Wool-
wich, are nearly completed. They will be ready for
proof early in March next. The weight of the guns
is about 13 tons, and the service charge will be
about 401 b. or 501 b. of powder and a shot of 2501 b.
The cost of material and manufacture of the guns
amounts to less . than one-half of thjtt usually in-
curred.

THE PEDDLERS AND THE MASTERS.—We (Bin.
mingham Gazette) are informed that in the principal dis-
tricts around Dudley the puddlers will not stand out for
the present. The meetings of the men hitherto held have
been of a private character, but it is probable that if they
do nbt generally assume work at the reduction public
meetings may be held. It was yesterday stated in Dudley,
that the men in the Wednesbury district will resume work
at once.

PROFESSOR ANDERSON.

This gentleman issued the following Farewell
Address to the London Public on leaving Si. James's
Hall, Monday, Jan. 9, to fill an engagement at the
Crystal Palace, commencing on Saturday, Jan. 14 :
For eighteen weeks I've occupied this stage,
And, proud to say, enjoy'd much patronage ;
For such great kindness my best thanks are due—
And now, to-night, my gratitude will shovi.
My WORLD of MAGIC o'er the world has been,
As good, I fancy, as you've ever seen ;
And let me add that not one week pass'd o'er
Without inviting Children of the Poor,
Feeling that they should have some share of glee,
And therefore THOUSANDS were admited FREE!
Now, if I've pleas'd the short time I've been here,
My hopes sre gain'd—your visits render'd dear.
But soon,.alas! the Curtain will be drawn,
And we be parted, and those scenes be gone.
Still, in remembrance I shall long retain
Your hearty welcomes, o'er and o'er again.
My Children join with me in this adieu,
And own their•pleasure for those smiles from you;
For smiles like thine will stimulate them on
To act their parts when I am past and gone.
My TREASURER, too, your kindness don't forget,
And hope he pleased when in the Cabinet,
Where, strongly handcuff 'd every night to view,
Released himself to be more linked to you.
And, to conclude, our gratitude we tend—
Not in mere words, for they cannot be penn'd.
Our actions, then, we trust, will satisfy;
And, for the present, wish you all—Good-bye.
We are informed that the Professor's exhibitions
at St. James's Hall have been most successful.

MIL W. S. WooDIN, the accomplished mimic, is
at present performing at the Cardiff Theatre, in Wales.
WAVES OF HEAT, WAVES OF MORTALITY.—If we
carefully observe the fluctuation of the thermometer
by the side of the mortality of the nation at large, no very
remarkable relationship seems to be traceable between the
one and the other. But if, in connection with the mortality,
care be taken to isolate the cases, and group them accord-
ing to their ages, a singular and significant series of facts
follow, which show that after a given age a sudden decline
of the temperature influences mortality by what may be
considered a definite law. The law is, that up to the age
of 30 years variations of temperature exert no influence on
the mortality of the population generally ; but after the age
of 30 is reached, then a fall of temperature which is suffi-
cient to cause an increased number of deaths, acts in a given
manner—as it may be said in waves or lines of intensity,
according to the years of the people. If we make these
lines nine years long, we discover that they double in force
at each successive point. Thus, if the fall in the tempera-
ture be sufficient to increase the mortality at the rate of one
person of the age of 30, the increase will run as follows
years.:f
One death at 30 years of age ; two deaths at 39
at 57
age ; four deaths at 48 years of age ; eight deaths at
at 7
years of age ; 16 deaths at 66 years of age ; 32 deaths
_asr
years of age ; 64 deaths at 84 years of age.— Fut

" BUDGET OF 1863.

" The year 1863 will give a better result than I had an-
ticipated in my last report. In place of a deficit of 43 mil-
lions, this Budget will only add 28 millions to our former
deficit.

The total of these difficulties which I stated last year as
972 millions does not amount definitively to more than 960.
By means of the loan of 300 millions, now almost entirely
liquidated, thip amount will be reduced to 660 millions.

THE GOLDEN ROSE

The Union has thesubjoined :—" Several journals
state the hat and the sword this year blessed by the
Pope, according to custom at Christmas, is destined
for the Emperor of Mexico, and that his holiness
intends to send the Golden Rose to the Empress
Charlotte in March next. The hat is of crimson
velvet, lined with ermine, and adorned with a gold
dove, the symbol of the Holy Ghost. This hat,
which, when the state of the Papal treasury per-
mitted, was ornamented with precious stones, was
sent by the Pope to some emperor, prince, or great
captain preparing to combat for the faith, and was
always accompanied by a sword with a gold pommel.
The origin of this custom is recorded in the book
of Maccabeus, which mentions that the prophet
Jeremiah presented to him (Judas Maccabeus)
a gold sword, saying Receive this holy sword
which God provides you, and with which you will
destroy the enemies of the people of Israel.' Now
that wars against the enemies of religion no longer
take place, the Sovereign Pontiff sends the hat to
the sovereigns or princes who are considered most

deserving in the eyes of the Church. With regard
to the Rose, the Pope, as is well known, blesses, on
the fourth Sunday in Lent, a golden flower orna-
mented with precious stones and filled with balm
and perfumes, a symbol of the odour of sanctity
which the Church spreads over the universe. This
jewel is sent to princesses who are distinguished for
piety ; to churches which are remarkable for their
attachment to the Holy See, or to States which
have rendered great services to religion. Pope
Clement XIII. sent one to the Republic of Venice,
and Alexander 111. specially blessed another in the
church of St. Mark, as an offering to the Doge
Sebastian Ziani."
