POOR LAWS.

Col. NORTH asked the Secretary to the Poor Law Board
if, by article 115 of the General Consolidated Order of the
Poor Law Board, dated July 24, 1847, any pauper suffering
from small-pox or other infectious disorders could insist
upon leaving the workhouse, in opposition to the opinion
of the doctor, upon giving to the master, or, during his ab-
sence or inability to act, to the matron, a reasonable notice
of his or her wish to do so.
Viscount ENFIELD said neither master nor matron of
any workhouse had power to compel any person to remain
in the workhouse.

THE BUDGET.

In reply to Mr. J. WHITE,

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
intended to bring forward his annual financial statement
on the first day after Easter, that he thought would be
Thursday, the 27th of April,
Mr. WALPOLE said he should, under such circum-
stances, postpone bringing forward
_his measure relative to
the British l'iuseum until after the Chancellor of the E.-;ehe-
quer had made his statement.

NAVAL CHAPLAINS.
Mr. LEFROY asked the Secretary to the Admiralty if
any steps had been taken during the recess to ascertain,
through the Chaplain's quarterly returns, how far the
chaplains have been able to comply with the Admiralty in-
structions directing clerical visits to be made to transports
and small vessels of war not entitled to bear chaplains; if
the revised edition of the chaplain's instructions men-
tioned last session had been issued; and if there was any
objection to the annual publication of a precis of the
Chaplains' Quarterly Returns ?
_ _

Mr. CHILDERS said no revised instructions had been
issued, but he might say the whole of the matter was
under consideration.
THE CASE OF MARY RYAN.

Mr. SCULLY asked the Secretary of State for the Home
Department (with reference to certain official correspon-
dence as to the Irish nun, Miss Mary Ryan,
called Sister Theresa), whether it was intended,
on the part of the Government, to require that lady
to be delivered up by the Belgian authorities.
and whether he would lay before this house the case as to
Miss Mary Ryan, submitted by his desire, in the month of
October last, to the Attorney and Solicitor-General for
England, along with their opinion on it.
Sir G. GREY said he believed there would be no objec-
tion on the part of the Belgian Government to deliver up
the person of Mary Ryan, but in her present state of health
it appeared unadvisable to press for such a demand.

Foreign Affairs whether he would lay upon the table of

Mr. LAYARD said he was not aware that Captain Bealo
had been surrendered by the Canadian Government.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 2 per milk pm., an
the short exchange on London is 25.15 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3

about 3-10 the per cent. dearer in Pula than in Loudon.

THE STOKER AT HOME.

" Wal, lad," hailed the Stoker, filling up the doorway
with his ponderous shoulders, and leisurely turning down
his sleeves after a wash. " How's the pa'son ?—'tis long
sin I've had a crack with Pa'son Frompton. Woy, wot a
lusty chap he's got. Bless thy loife, thou dost not stan' on
the pa'son's shanks, I'se uphowd 'ee. Coom into dinner,
fraud, and see wot we've got—as I al'ays say to my guests
—if theer's ought on the table, thou'ld find it."
Tom followed him into the passage, and on the way the
Stoker turned, and laid a hand on his shoulder impres-
sively—

" Has't ever sailed in them steamboats as fly across the
channel, lad ?"
" I've crossed in them," said Tom.
" Has't been below in the engine-room ?"
" Never."

The Stoker's arm dropped from his shoulder, and his
momentary earnestness departed, he opened a side door,
and strode into the parlour before his guest.
" This here is Pa'son Frompton's son ; he's come to tak'
pot luck wi' us—coom tak' your places all."
It was a large plain room, which must have occupied all
the basement-width of the cottage, and was fit for a carni-
vorous race of men. A fine round of beef was at the head
of the table, piling its steam to the ceiling. Through this
savoury mist Tom saw his company. There was the
Stoker's raw-boned son, ruddy from his wash, and staring
at Tom through it. There was the doctor rubbing his
hands slowly and staring at Tom. There was a conceited
looking young man, with gold watch chain, from which
hung little gold lockets, a gold horse, and a gold horse shoe,
staring at semi-blind Tom, with his two beaming blue eyes
as round as falcon's, and a girl's figure nearest of all, and
most revealed, Tom never looked at her.
" Come sit down—keawer down, lads," cried the Stoker,
taking his seat, and when all were in their places saying
grace in four words, " God bless the vltuals. Amen ! "
And here is a companion glimpse of

THAMES,

ROBBERY. IN THE ST.. KATHERINE Docx.—William
Halls, a young man, was brought before Mr. Partridge,
charged with stealing eleven cigars, value ls. Gd., the pro-
perty of the London and St. Katherine Docks Company.
Mr. J. P. Mumford, superintendent of the United Dock
Company's police, said the prisoner was employed on the
cigar floor as a preferable labourer, and must have been in,
the employ of the company for some time, as he had been
lately promoted. Yesterday evening, between four and
five o'clock, the prisoner was brought before him by a
watchman named Cumming, who said on his hearing that
he had been directed to bring him to his (the superinten-
dent's) office, for eleven cigars were found upon
him. Witness asked where they were found, to
which the prisoner replied—"l am a great fool. I had them
in my trousers, pointing to his legs at the same time.
Chester •found them, he must have seen me put them there."
Chester was the acting foreman on the cigar floor. The
prisoner also said, " Do forgive me, don't lock me up."
In answer to the Magistrate the witness said that cases
of cigars would necessarily be opened on the floor where
the prisoner was employed.
Mr. Partridge asked the prisoner what he had to say to
the charge.
The prisoner—Why this. They are damaged cigars.
I found them on the floor. I did not take them out of a
box.
Mr. Mumford—Those are good foreign cigars, worth
ls. 6d. without the duty.
The father of the prisoner said his son was brought up a
respectable boy, and could not help what he did. The man
who searched his son encouraged him in all that was bad.

Mr. Partridge—That ought not to be said.
The prisoner's father said he and his son did not drink.
His son was 12 months in the hospital in consequence of
an accident he received in the dock.

Mr. Mumford was recalled, and said this was the- first
time the prisoner had been charged with any offence; but
he had been for some time suspected, and other boxes had
been opened and plundered of cigars. A claim was made
yesterday on the company for loss sustained by a robbery
of cigars.
Mr. Partridge said it was lamentable that the prisoner
had given way to a sudden temptation and robbed the
dock company. He should be justified, he thought, in dis-
posing of the case summarily. He fined the prisoner 405.,
which he immediately paid.

STATE OF TRADE,

CARDIFF, Jan. 17.—The steam coal trade of the
district is in an active state, and the exports during
the last six or seven days have been considerable.
There is a good demand from France, Italy, and
other continental countries, and a large quantity of
steam is sent to the Spanish markets, principally
through French houses. Quotations are well main-
tained. House coal is in request from the west of
England, and also on account of Irish buyers, and
there is a moderate active inland demand. Prices
remain without any material change. Very few
orders are being given out in the iron trade, and
both makers and buyers are waiting for the end of
the month before entering into heavy contracts.
No movement has yet been made on the part of the
men with the view of resisting the proposed reduc-
tion in wages, and it is believed that they will
accept the " drop " without any serious opposi-
tion. One of the iron companies of the district have
accepted a large Russian order, which will keep the
works in active employ for some time. The
shipbuilding yards are, as usual, on full time, and
one of the shipbuilding firms have large orders in
hand for the construction of pontoons.
DUNDEE,. 17th.—The market was very quiet to-
day in all departments, and prices rather weak. Pri-
vately very little business has been done in flax, tow,
or codilla, and for want of sales prices are nominally
as they were. About 220 tons were put up to public
sale here to-day, but only about one-third of the
quantity was sold, the prices offered not being satis-
factory to the sellers. Yarns of all qualities were
duller to-day than they have been for some time
past, but as spinners are generally well foresold and
not inclined to give way in prices, former quota-
tions are continued. There is little change in the
demand for linens, some fabrics being still wanted,
while others are dull, but former forward orders
keep makers well employed, and there are almost no
stocks of any description of goods in manufacturers'
hands.

LEICESTER, 18th.—There has been very little do-
ing during the past few days in hosiery goods, it
being yet too early in the year for any activity. At
Loughborough, Hinckley, and the rural districts,
business is also flat, and the operatives partially em-
ployed. Wools are high in price, but not in much
request. The yarn market is quiet, high rates be-
ing yet quoted.
NOTTINGHAM, 18th.—There has not been much
alteration in the lace trade during the past few days.
Most classes of goods sell :slowly, but more is ex-
pected to be done shortly. A few buyers have been
in the market, but no purchases of a large amount
have been made. The home trade is flat. There
is a slight improvement in the demand for silk
Mechlins and quillings, and there is a shade more
doing in black laces. In hosiery there has been a
fair amount of business doing. Buyers are purchas-
ing for the spring demand. Stocks are very light.
Yarns continue firm.

Journalism Extraordinary,

Punch issues the following facetious prospectus
of a forthcoming new Evening Newspaper :
" A new evening paper, entitled the Piccadilly
Gazette, is announced. It will contain all to-
morrow's news, probable next three days' in-
telligence (on the plan of Admiral Fitzroy's weather
divinations), musical criticisms on all forthcoming
operas not as yet composed, and theatrical criticisms on
future possible performances. The last bon mot and
fashionable on dit of a fortnight hence will be in a conspi-
cuous position, and the editor will be perpetually getting
himself forcibly propelled into the middle of next week, in
order to arrive at the very first intelligence on every sub-
ject of much or little importance.

THE THACKERAY AND LEECH MEMORIALS.—
Upwards of £3OO have been subscribed for the pur-
pose of placing two tablets in some appropriate spot within
the Charter House, the one to the memory of W. M.
Thackeray, and the other to that of John Leech, and for
establishing two annual prizes in the school, the first for
English literature, to be called the Thackeray prize, and
the second for drawing, to be called the Leech prize.
Amongst the subscribers to the fund are the Earl of Dal-
housie, the Earl of Huntingdon, Lord Truro, the Bishop
of St. David's, Lord Justice Turner, Sir Charles Eastlake,
Sir Erskine Perry, Sir E. A. Lechmere, Sir H. J. Gunning,
Sir P. Caution Mr. Rodwell, Q.C., Mr. J. R. Kenyon, Q.C.,
Archdeacon Hale, and many gentlemen who were edu-
cated at the Charter House. The Rev. George Currey,
8.D., is the treasurer of the fund.

THE CAPTURE OF MAZATLAN.—The following
is an extract from a letter from Mazatlan :—" Maz-
atlan, Nov. 22, 1864.—Mazatlan was taken on the 13th
inst. by the French. On the Bth a ball was given in honour
of the Governor (Rosales), which I attended, and which
passed off very pleasantly. On the 10th, at 10 p.m., Stopford
and I went ashore with 32 men, to protect the English Con-
sulate,and remained there till the 14th. On the 12th the
French ships D'Assas (Capt.Kergirst,)Victoire,Diamant, and
Lucifer, came in, and a flag of truce, with the captain of the
Diamant, came ashore. He was blindfolded and conducted
to the adonana (Custom-house), where the Governor met
him. The Frenchman urged unconditional surrender.
Rosales said he would fight. The Frenchman said, 'lf
you don't surrender in 24 hours, we'll bombard the place.'
Then he went away. On the 13th, at 3 a.m., the Mexican
troops left the town and retreated inland. At 6 a.m. the
French bombarded the town and kept up a brisk cannonade
till 9 a.m. Late in the afternoon they landed 600 Turcos.
Lozado's troops (1,000 strong) entered on the landward
side, and they took quiet possession of the town. On the
20th there was high mass, at 8 a.m., the Mexican Imperial
flag was hOisted and salutedat daybreak (9 a.m.), and again
at
sunset--and so fell the chief stronghold of the Liberals
on the wegt coast of Mexico."
London, England, 1865-01-19

THE STOKER AT HOME.

" Wal, lad," hailed the Stoker, filling up the doorway
with his ponderous shoulders, and leisurely turning down
his sleeves after a wash. " How's the pa'son ?—'tis long
sin I've had a crack with Pa'son Frompton. Woy, wot a
lusty chap he's got. Bless thy loife, thou dost not stan' on
the pa'son's shanks, I'se uphowd 'ee. Coom into dinner,

•and, and see wot we've got—as I al'ays say to my guests
-if theer's ought on the table, thou'ld find it."

Tom followed him into the passage, and on the way the
Stoker turned, and laid a hand on his shoulder impres-
sively—
" Has't ever sailed in them steamboats as fly across the
channel, lad ?"
" I've crossed in them," said Tom.
" Has't been below in the engine-room ?"
" Never." •

The Stoker's arm dropped from his shoulder, and his
momentary earnestness departed, he opened a side door,
and strode into the parlour before his guest.
" This here is Pa'son Frompton's son ; he's come to tak'
pot luck wi' us—coom tak' your places all."
It was a large plain room, which must have occupied all
the basement-width of the cottage, and was fit for a carni-
vorous race of men. A fine round of beef was at the head
of the table, piling its steam to the ceiling. Through this
savoury mist Tom saw his company. There was the
Stoker's raw-boned son, ruddy from his wash, and staring
at Tom through it. There was the doctor rubbing his
hands slowly and staring at Tom. There was a conceited
looking young man, with gold watch chain, from which
hung little gold lockets, a gold horse, and a geld horse shoe,
staring at semi-blind Tom, with his two beaming blue eyes
,as round as falcon's, and a girl's figure nearest of all, and
most revealed, Tom never looked at her.
Come sit down—keawer down, lads," cried the Stoker,
taking his seat, and when all were in their places saying
grace in four words, " God bless the vltuals. Amen ! "
And here is a companion glimpse of

THE STOKER AT WORK.

Before the morning rose was the Stoker always up.
What he did at the ghostly hour, I cannot tell. He was a
sleepless old sinner ; he used to prowl. You'd hear him
striding up and down the passage—you'd hear him clinking
metal at his forge, .and then all sound would cease. Then,
be sure, he was staring at his iron daughter of wheel and
piston safely stabled there, silent and motionless now, but
ere long to scream and rush in such a fashion as shall
astound the whole shire.

Then the unwashed workman would come in and ligh

the furnace ; and the old man would knock up that slug-
gard Sam, with wrathful ridicule ever fresh each morning
this ten years back.
Then the work began. So it was on this memorable
morning. The old man was on his twilight prowl—
ruminating on his rugged schemes of ambition, I suppose,
or working out some problem of lever and wheel, perhaps;
but never a thought had he of his daughter. He watched
the fire beginning to glow, and its kindred light glistened

in his little bison eyes. He routed up Sam with his wonted
kick and intolerant outcry—

" Roll awt here, ye snorin' hog. Ha you struck a tap
root i' th' boalster, fro' thy big turnip head ? Up—up,
dost hear ?"

"Aw reet, owd mon. I expect when the deyvil ca's for
a chap, he'se ha' more pity nor you," grumbles Sam, turn-
ing out heavily, and "putting on his clothes with half-
opened lids.
Then the morning's work began.
The bellows wheezed and puffed its wrinkley chest.
And the Stoker, with stripped hairy arms, worked the iron
in the fire fountain.

Old Parson Frompton, the father of Tom, is another
life-study. A weak, garrulous, loving-hearted old
man, who spoils his son by alternate cuffs and
caresses, and who is tortured beyond endurance by
his shrewish daughter Deborah. Great is the Parson's
relief on her ultimate departure, when at length he
can eat his meals " unsauced by tongue trimmings,"
and deliver his sermons with "no critical black
bonnet in the pew-corner to distract his eye." One
of the happiest scenes between the hero and heroine,
who (to say truth) occasionally address each other
in very abusive terms, is the following love-
scene :

Market quiet and depressed. Sales, probably

The Late Gale.

During the heavy gale of wind on the 14th inst., the
schooner Thomas, of Liverpool, was observed on the Dog-
gerbank, near Wexford, with the sea breaking over her.
The Rosslare lifeboat, belonging to the National Lifeboat
Institution, was immediately launched, and proceeded to
the wreck, from which the lifeboat took off the crew of
four men and a pilot and put them safely on board a steam-
tug. The large lifeboat at Wexford of the National
Institution had also a few nights previously put off
in tow of a steamer to a large ship on the Black-
water Bank, but before the arrival of the lifeboat the vessel
had fortunately succeeded in getting off. The Institution's
lifeboat at Lahore had also put off in reply to the same sig-
nals of distress. The expense of both boats' crews is up-
wards of £32. In such cases, with signals calling for help,
it will not do for the lifeboats to falter for a moment,
because if life were sacrificed from the delay of the life-
boats on such occasions, the responsibility would be very
great on those who direct their operations. Again, the
lifeboats sometimes put on board vessels in distress some
of their own hands, who are thus frequently the means of
saving both ship and crew, as was the case on Saturday
last at Holyhead. But then the noble fellows-who are thus
left short-handed in the lifeboat oftentimes incur great
risk from being unable to manage her.
WALMER, NEAR DEAL, Jan. 16.

During a strong gale and heavy sea on Friday night (re-
ports Admiral Cannon) the Walmer lifeboat of the National
Institution was launched to the assistance of a vessel
in the Downs, which was observed burning blue lights
as signals of distress. The lifeboat proceeded under
reefed sails in the direction of the vessel, but finding, on
approaching her, that a Walmer lugger had taken charge,
and that the lifeboat's services were not required, she re-
turned to the shore at half-past ten p.m. and was hove up.
The lifeboat had her full service crew of 15 men, and also
three men and one coastguardman assisting to launch. The
expense will be £l5 10s. The vessel proved to be the Blue-
bell, of Shoreham, laden with coals. She had been so
seriously damaged by being run into by another vessel that
the crew feared she was sinking. Both vessels seem to have
suffered suffered considerable damage, both having been taken into
Ramsgate harbour.
