LONDON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1854.

Another Christmas has arrived. Every family
throughout the length and breadth of the land is
celebrating the great festival, so peculiarly dear
to English hearts. Many relations, separated at
other periods, assemble together round the social
board. It may be that they have not met since
the similar period of last year—that they may
not again exchange friendly greetings for twelve
months more. There is a genial influence in
operation that softens even the sternest disposition,
and predisposes it to acts of kindness and mercy
—to charity, the greatest of virtues in the most
extensive interpretation of the term. There is
the good cheer supplied in every household—the
best fare that can be provided by the master or
mistress. The inmates even of Prisons and Work-
houses are feasted, and there is a general re-
joicing, in which few hearts are so poor as not to
