DEATH OF REAR-ADMIRAL RAMSDEN.

Rear-Admiral Ramsden, on the retired list of 1846,
died on the 29th ult., at Byram Hall, Ferrybridge,
Yorkshire. He was the second son of the late Sir John
Ramsden, Bart., by Louisa Susan Ingram Shepherd,
youngest daughter and co-heir of Charles, _ninth Vis-
count Irvine (a title which became extinct in 1778), and
sister-in-law of Francis, second Marquis of Hertford,
K.G. Two of his brothers (ono of them, Henry James,
married to a sister of the present Earl of Ellenborough
—the other, Charles, to a daughter of Lord Strafford)
are captains in the army. Through the marriage of his
sisters he was brother-in-lavvi of Lord Hawke, of
Lord Charles Paulet (second son of the Marquis of
Winchester). and of Lowther Augustus John, the
third son of Lord Muncaster. This officer entered

the navy in August, 1803, as first-class volunteer, on
board the Excellent, 74, Captain Frank Sotheron,
and in September, 1806, after having served for
about three years in the Mediterranean, joined, as mid-
shipman, the Royal William, flag-ship of Admiral
George Montagu at Portsmouth. In the early part of
1807 he sailed in the Modeste, 36, Captain Hon. George
Elliot, for the East Indies, where he removed to the
Culloden, 74, flag-ship of Sir Edward Pellew, and was
nominated 14th Oct., 1808, acting lieutenant of the
Dasher, sloop, Captain Robert Worgan Geo. Festing.
He was confirmed 30th Dec. following. He invalided
home in 1810 ; joined next, in April, 1811, the Kent,
74, Captain Thomas Rogers, again on the Mediterranean
station ; was made commander, 14th of June, 1813,
into the Ferret brig, on the north coast of Spain ; left
that vessel in April, 1814 ; and was afterwards, 10th of
Feb. and 29th of April, 1818, appointed to the Doterel
and Scout sloops. He continued in the latter vessel,
again in the Mediterranean, until about Oct. 1821 ; and
on the 26th Dec., 1822, was advanced to post-rank. He
accepted the retirement Oct. 1, 1846. Admiral Rams-
den married, 6th of August, 1827, Lady Annabella
Paulet, eldest daughter of the late Marquis of Winchester.

out, one at 2, Grosvenor-row, Pimlico, belonging to
Mr. S. I::_emp, dining-house proprietor ; and the other
at Blackheath-hill, the property of Mr. W. Jupp, furni-
ture broker. The engines of the London Brigade, West
of England office, parish, and one from Messrs. Penns',
the engineers, were soon in attendance, but both fires
were attended with a considerable loss of property. The
sufferers were insured in the Globe and British Empire
Mutual Life Offices. The origin of the fire is unknown.

TO THE EDITOR 01' THE MORNING ADVERTISER.

• Sir,--I speak advisedly when I say there is not
any class of persons more indebted to you for
exposing the Coburg intrigues than the heads of
public departments. The amount of interference,
or rather dictation, which is practised at any
public office when a vacancy occurs in a place
which is required for a portegee of a foreign family,
is difficult to describe. Neither seniority, nor
merit, nor past services can be pleaded in reply.
The application from influential quarters is, in fact,
an ukase, and the man who refuses it will surely
be marked out for disgrace at an early opportunity.
Nor, alas ! Sir, does the evil end here : for, in-
credible as it may sound at first, it is a fact, that an
intimation, in a manner and tonenot to be mistaken,
is given to persons filling important offices that cer-
tain things will!be expected of them, the effect of which
is, that an imperium in imperio is established,
and probably at the very moment that a Secretary
of State is on his road to Osborne or Balmoral
with important information to his royal mistress,
the very facts he is the bearer of are already far on
their way to Bruxelles, and King Leopold and the
Coburgs are thus enabled to pull the strings of our
government, both at home and abroad.
It is said that the effect of the present exposure
will merely lead to a temporary lull in the Court
intrigues, or perhaps to greater caution in future.
But I trust to its having a much more beneficial
effect, and that our policy both at home and abroad
will give evidence that our labours have not been
in vain. Should this hope be disappointed, then
history, which has taught us our remedy, will, in-
deed, have been read without profit by those who
are most interested ; and file nation will have no
other choice open to it, but to show that it has
both the inclination and the power to prescribe the
needed remedy—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,

THE WEATHER AND THE Pleil
The weather yesterday was intensely co , 103,t-ortsr:: •P
time there were about 7,000 skaters upon 'c.v.:
1_
in Hyde-park, amongst whom were sev.tit-set--Onkeli`•
and gentlemen belonging to the Skating Cit.4.ri tys ;
long water in Kensington-gardens there Weire'valiscr ".
number of members belonging to the same 'dub; ".'
about 3,000 others. The ice on the Round-pond was
seven inches thick, and the number of persons who ven-
tured thereon 2,000. Between 6,000 and 7,000 men and
children were upon the ornamental-water in St. James's-
park, and about an equal number on the ice in the AA'
gent's-park. The ice in the various places of resort aver-
aged from six inches to seven inches in thicknes.s ; but
owing to the vast numbers who flocked to the-parks on
Sunday, Mr. Williams was apprehensive that the ice on
the Serpentine would become so charged with confined
re therefore air that it would blow up. Men we
em-
ployed during the morning in digging " vent Wes," so
as to allow the foul air to escape from the waters, by -
which expedient the ice may now be said to be quite
firm and safe. To prevent persons from skating into the
apertures thus made, boards marked " Dangerous" were
put up, but with the exception of a few gentlemen who
fell, or were run down, no accidents occurred either in
Hyde-park or Kensington-gardens. A young man, how-
ever, fell upon a sharp piece of ice, which so cut his
under jaw that it was deemed prudent to have him re-
moved to the hospital, which was accordingly done. The
thermometer at the Royal Society's receiving-house in
Hyde-park during Sunday night stood at 25°, and it re. -
mained at the same mark the first part of yesterday morn-
ing. In the middle of the day the mercury rose no higher
than 30°, and at 6 o'clock in the evening it had fallen
again to 27°, being only two degrees higher than it was in
the middle of the previous night, thereby justifying the
conclusion that the frost will last some time longer. The
barometer stood at the Royal Humane Society's receiv-
ing-house at 29° 13'. About one p.m,, another heavy
fall of snow took place, which, for half an hour or so,
completely obscured from the observation of those who
lined the banks and foot promenades, the graceful evo-
lutions of the gentlemen belonging to the Skating Club.
The banks of the Serpentine have been more crowded
during the last two days than at any period during the
Great Exhibition of 1851.

STOOK EXCHANGE.—There are more sellers than pur-
chasers of shares just now in this market, but to-day busi-
ness has been at a stand, the day being observed as New-.
Year's Day, somewhat inconsistently it is true, for although
the brokers were full of " settling" matters at their offices
they resolved to abide by their old bye-law of an Exchange
holiday on the first of the new yoar, every broker repu-
diating an alteration of the law, but violating it in his own.

UP WlTff THE STANDARD OF
ENGLAND !

The following patriotic song—the words by Edward
Farmer, the music by George Simpson—has just bean
published by Jewell and Letchford, Soho-square :
Hark ! hark ! where the Lion is roaring,
List ! list ! 'tis the growl of the Bear ;
Above the proud Eagle is soaring,
The Crescent waves high in the air.
The steed with impatience is neighing,
The flag of rude war is unfurled,
The trumpet its wild note is braying,
And threatens the peace of the world.
Then up with the standard of England,
Our watchword alone be " Advance !"
Up, up with the standard of England,
And raise the brave banner of France.

'Tie fearful that life should be wasted,
'Tis dreadful that blood should be shed,
That the horrors of war should be tasted,
And that ravens and wolves should be fed.
All that honour permits has been borne,
Every mild art of peace has been tried,
Mediation bean met with foul soorn,
And now " war to the knife" must decide.
Then up with the standard, &c.

Then onward by sea and by land,
Since there's no other course to pursue,
Let Old England and France, hand in hand,
Show the world what, combined, they can do ;
Let our scabbardless swords meet the light,
" Down, down with the tyrant!" our cry ;
'Tis for honour and justice we fight,
So forward to conquer or die.
Then up with the standard, &c.

" My good friends," he said, " when I first imparted

to the committee of the projected institute my particu-
lar wish that on one of the evenings of my readings here
the main body of my audience should be composed of
working men and their families, I was animated by two
desires---first, by the wish to have the great pleasure of
meeting you face to face at this Christmas time and ac-
company you myself through one of my little Christmas
books—(cheers)—and, second, by the wish to have an
opportunity of stating publicly, in your presence and hi
the presence of the committee, my earliest hope that the
institute will from the beginning recognise one great
principle, strong in reason and justice, which I believe
to be essential to the very life of such an institution. It
is, that the working man shall, from the first unto the
last, have a share in the management of an institution
which is designed for his benefit, and which calls itself
by his name. (Cheers.) I have no fear here of being
misunderstood—of being supposed to mean too much in
this. If there ever was a time when any one class could
of itself do much for its own good and for the welfare of
society, which I greatly doubt, that time is unquestion-
ably past. It is in the fusion of different classes, with-
out confusion ; in the bringing together of employers and
employed ; in the creating of a better, common under-::
standing among those whose interests are identical, who
depend upon each other, who are vitally essential to
each other, and who never can be in unnatural anta-
gonism without deplorable results, that one of the
chief principles of a mechanics' institution should con-
sist. In this world a great deal of the bitterness among
us arises from an imperfect understanding of one an-
other. (Cheers.) Erect in Birmingham a great educa-
tional institution—properly educational—educational of
the feelings as well as of the reason—to which all orders
of Birmingham men contribute, in which all orders of
Birmingham men are faithfully represented, and you
will erect a temple of concord here which will be a model
edificeto the whole of England. Contemplating as Ido
the existence of the Artisans' Committee, which not long
ago considered the establishment of the institute so sen-
sibly and supported it so heartily, I earnestly entreat
the gentlemen—earnest I know in the good work, and
who are now among us—by all means to arid the great
shortcoming of similar institutions ; and, in asking the
working man for his confidence, to set him the example,
aild give him theirs in return. (Great cheering.) You
will.judge for yourselves if I promise too much for the
working man when I say, that he will stand by such an
enterprise with the utmost of his patience, his persever-
ance, sense, and spirit ; that I am sure he will need no
