NEW STRAND THEATRE.
SPLENDID CHRISTMAS NOVELTIES.

Monday, Dec. 27, and every evening during the week, Mr.
JACOBS, the ROYAL VENTRILOQUIST and GREAT
MODERN MAGICIAN, whose performances during the
last two seasons created a great sensation, will, for a third time,
have the honour of submitting to the public his unrivalled and
truly pleasing performances. His NECROMANTIC TEM-
PLE will be found superior in every respect to those on former
occasions. His Ventriloquism has undergone considerable
change and improvement; in the delineation of the various
characters he is the first in Europe ; a great treat is afforded to
the audience in this department.
Mr. Jacobs, in addition to his own interesting entertainment,
has added these of Mons. ROSSEAU, the celebrated
FRENCH EQUILIBRIST ; Herr KREUZER'S PHAN-
TASNIAGORIAL DISSOLVING PORTRAITS, which
are on an entirely new system ; and the Classical Experiments
of the PATAGONIAN WONDERS. The tout ensemble
forms a Combination of Talent not to be surpassed.

6' A Borough Magistrate of Liverpool" is informed there was
no other inclosure but sixpence in his letter.
Several "Constant Readers" at Leeds are informed that the word
" transported," when applied to Scotch Clergymen, means
the very reverse of the same word when used in reference to
criminals. When a father in the Scotch Church is trans-
ported, he performs a voluntary act, and always takes care to
go to a better place than the one he left; in the same way
as a Bishop is "translated" to a fat See from one which does
not furnish so many of the good things of life.

PARADISE REGAINED.

BY A TORY PLACEMAN.
Hip, hip, Hurray ! All's right at last !
➢iy term of banishment is past,
And now with bliss unfeigned,
I see the gates for years denied
To Tory ingress, opened wide,
Of Paradise Regained !
Oh sunny realms of wealth and joy !
Of flattering hopes without alloy,
Of plenty unrestrained !
Once in, I'll never quit you more,
But take good care to bolt the door
Of Paradise Regained !
What, though the Whigs, without, declare
A Tory has no business there,
Where they so long have reigned ?
I'll laugh at all their factious din,
And fatten on the wealth within
My Paradise Regained !
Graham shall teach me how to rat,
Peel how to gull John Bull and Pat,
By no false shame restrained ;
Lyndhurst convince me black is white,
And, thus well taught, I'll prove my right
To Paradise Regained !
Talk of the duty that I owe
To the great Firm of Queen and Co, !
Pshaw, 'tis a term profaned !----
My duty is to help myself,
And fill my pockets with the pelf
Of Paradise Regained !
Duty indeed !—llah, hah ! Ho, ho !
Within my soul the patriot's glow,
Thank clod, has long since waned ;
So here I'll spend my latest breath,
And, like a horse-leech, stick in death
To Paradise Regained !

STATE OP TRADE---KIRICALDY.—The gene-
neral distress is only beginning to bo felt here. In the
town and district there are about 2,000 looms, and until
within these two months past they have been all well
employed, and yet our trade has been long in a lan-
guishing state ; two facts which can only be reconciled
by supposing, what we believe to be the. case, that our
manufacturers manage their affairs with more prudence
than happens elsewhere. But a sad change is now taking
place ; we see many of the weavers going about seeking
work, and cannot find it ; and it will still be worse with
them, as the manufacturers, unable to go on any longer,
are daily, drawing in.—Scotsman.

CHRISTMAS AT ROUEN.

At Rouen after the Te Deum in the nocturnal
office or vigil of Christina., the ecclesiastics cele-
brate the " office of the shepherds" in the fol-
lowing manner
:•
The image of the Virgin Mary is placed in a
stable prepared behind the altar. A boy from
above, before the choir, in the likeness of an
angel, announces the nativity to certain canons
or vicars who enter as shepherds, clothed in tu-
nics and amesses. Many boys in the vaults of
the church, like angels, then begin the " Gloria
in
_excelsis." The shepherds hearing this, ad-
vance to the stable, singing " Peace, good-will,"
&c. As soon as they enter it, 'two priests in
Dalmatics, as if women (quasi obstetrices), who
were stationed at the stable, say " Whom seek
ye?" The shepherds answer, Christ." The
women, then opening the curtain, exhibit the
boy, saying, 44 The little one is here, as the pro-
phet Isaiah said." They then show the mother,
saying, " Behold the Virgin," &c. Upon these
exhibtions they bow and worship the boy, and
salute his mother. The office ends by their
returning to the choir, and singing " Hallelu-
jah," &c. •

A. GREEK CHRISTMAS.

In Swan's " Journal of a Voyage up the Me-
diterranean," is the following account of a Greek
Christmas :—" Thursday, January 6, this being
Christmas-day with the Greek Catholics, their
churches are adorned in the gayest manner. I
entered one, in which a sort of raree-show had
been set up, illumined with a multitude of can-
dles ; the subject of it was the birth of Christ,
who was represented on the back-ground by a
little waxen figure wrapped up in embroidery,
and reclining on an embroidered cushion, which
rested upon another of pink satin : this was sup-
posed to be the manger where he was born.
Behind the image two paper bull's heads looked
unutterable things. On the right was the Virgin
Mary, and on the left one of the Eastern Magi.
Paper clouds, in which the paper heads of num-
berless cherubs appeared, enveloped the whole ;
while from a pasteboard cottage stalked a wooden
monk, with dogs, sheep, and camels, goats, lions,
and lambs. The construction of these august
figures was chiefly Dutch. In the centre a real
fountain, in miniature, squirted forth water, to
the ineffable delight of crowds of prostrate
worshippers."

THE KIRK.
The reader will find, in our advertising' columns, a
document in reference to the presentation to the Low
Church in Kilmarnock, which is well worthy of atten•
live perusal, as giving another example of the in.
consistency and tyrannical proceedings of the Non-
Intrusionists. The document we allude to is an
Address from a numerous body of members of the
Low Church congregation to the Rev. W. S. Smith,
the presentee to Kilmarnock, whose settlement was
factiously opposed by the Non-Intrusionists, osten-
sibly on the ground of want of qualification, hut
in reality because he does not belong to their
party. From this Address, which is signed by 409
individuals of the congregation, of whom 394 are
heads of families, it appears the greatest sorrow and
regret are felt at the obstructions thrown in the
way of Mr. Smith's settlement; and yet those who
thus 'thwart and obstruct the wishes of the congre•
gation, are the very men who pretend that all their
present struggle is for the privileges of the Chris-
tian people ! In Mr. Smith's reply it is stated that
out of a roll of 419 communicants, there were only
164 dissentients, which gives nearly three to one
in favour of the presentees. Yet in the face of
this overwhelming majority the Non-Intrusionists
refused to settle Mr. Smith. Was there ever a more
glaring violation of their own Veto Act than this
Yet of such palpable injustice and inconsistency
these men will be guilty, rather than allow a Moderate
man to be settled quietly, who, in this case, is not to be
thrust upon a reclaiming congregation, but is held back
from the supplications of a petitioning and imploring
congregation. This case is a fine illustration of whe
the working of the /ilerum urbitrium would be.—Edin-
burgh Advertiser.

WEST INDIA ROYAL MAIL
STEAM•PACKETS.
SOUTIIAMPTON, DEC. 22.—The following account of
the trial of those vessels that have left will no doubt be
read with interest, as it will show that the speed of
these ships is greater than that of any vessel of the same
class. The distance was rather more than 15 2.3 sta-
tute miles, and was performed as under :
The Clyde, in 1 hour 1 I minutes, being at the rate of
13 miles per hour ; the Tweed 1 hour 13 minutes,
being at the rate of 12 1-35th miles per hour; the Sol-
way, 1 hour 17 minutes, being at the rate of 12 miles
per hour ; the Tay, 1 hour 9 minutes, being at the rate
of 13} miles per hour.
These trials may be considered interesting to the
nautical world, as three of these ships have precisely
the same rate of engines—viz., the Tay, the Tweed,
and the Clyde, and the difference is to attributed to
the forms of the ships themselves. The chief peculiarity
of the Tay is in consequence of the wave-principle of
the bow.
The difference of these ships in coming round from
the north to Southampton loaded is equally interesting.
The same distance of 15 2-3 miles was performed as
follows :—The Clyde, with 425 tons of goals, in 1 hour
17 min., or 12 miles per hour ; the Tweed, 265 tons,
in 1 hour 16 min., or 12 1-sth miles ; the Solway, 250
tons, in 1 hour 24 min., or 11 1-6th miles.
The Clyde, from the river Clyde, completed her pas-
sage to the Needles in 65 hours, the Tweed in 56, and
the Solway in 73, being a distance of 650 miles, and
that in boisterous weather.

ASCENT OF THE JUNGFRAU.

For the last two Saturdays, Mr. Forbes, Professor of
of Natural Philosophy in the University of Edinburgh,
delivered two lectures in his class-room, to a crowded
audience, on an excursion which he undertook last sum-
mer, in company with Professor Agassiz and others,
through part of the glacier region of Switzerland, and
the ascent of the Jungfrau. The object of the lectures
is to explain the theory of glaciers, with some of the
more peculiar phenomena which that interesting region
exhibits. A glacier he described to be a mass of ice
descending from the higher regions to the lower. The
descent was greater at one time than another, and the
laws of its progress were not yet determined ; but it was
always more or less in motion, so that a glacier might
more properly be described as a frozen torrent than as
a frozen sea. The progress of the glaciers was evi-
denced in two ways—first, by the continued wasting
away of the glacier at its inferior part, and its being fed
from above ; and the other was, the ascertained
removal of blocks of stone and other objects from a
higher to a lower level. Of this last instance he
quoted an interesting extract from Agassiz, who, on
ascending the glacier in a former year, was surprised to
find a hut which had been erected about ten or twelve
years before, now moved upwards of a mile from the
site on which it was built, though still standing ; and
on visiting it again this year, he (Professor Forbes)
found it several hundred yards farther down. He then
referred to the ice cones, which abound in these regions,
and of which he exhibited drawings. They are regu-
larly formed, and rise sometimes to the )eight of 20 or
30 feet. What is most remarkable, they have all a thin
coating of brown mould or gravel, which presents a sin-
gular appearance in the midst of this frozen scenery.
The explanation of this phenomenon Professor Forbes
considered to be, that the water courses, which abound
in all directions through the glaciers, occasionally bring
down detritus from the mountain cliffs, which they de-
posit in a hollow basin. These water courses are con-
tinually changing their direction, leaving, of course, the
detritus deposited on the ice. The surface of? the

from the sun by the protection of the mould.
As the surrounding ice melts away the gravel, of course,
falls down gradually to a level, sheltering the ice where-
ever it falls, till it forms the cone already described.
The lecturer was confirmed in this opinion by seeing
cones in all stages of formation, where the gravel

PARADISE LOST.
BY A WHIG EX-PLACEMAN.
Farewell the green Eden of Place,
And Downing-street's sweet, sunny clime,
Where, clasped in Enjoyment's embrace,
I spent so delightful a time—
Farewell, oh farewell, for my doom
Is to fly from those scenes I love most,
And cherish in exile and gloom,
The remembrance of Paradise Lost !

Yet in slumber my fancy still roves
Through that Eden, like Adam of old,
Still haunts the rich Treasury groves,
Where rolls a Pactolus of gold ;
But I wake, and the scene disappears,
And, wrecked on the barbarous coast
Of bleak Opposition, ih tears,
I muse upon Paradise Lost !
If I strive to re-enter within
The gates of that Eden so dear,
Some Tory cries out with a grin,
" No Whig is admissible here;
" So be off, or I'll give you in charge,
" And then you shall find to your cost,
" What it is to be prowling at large
" Round the portals of Paradise Lost !"
Was there e'er such ill-fortune as mine?
I'm fit to do nothing, alack !
But to drown all my sorrows in wine,
Or play Hamlet at Woburn in black;
Though I bow to my tailor, yet still
The scamp looks as grim as a ghost,
And thinks with a sigh of his bill,
While I think of Paradise Lost !

Hark, bells from church-steeple and tower
Hark, shouts from hill, valley, and lea I
'Tis Christmas's festival hour,
And all appear happy but me ;
I'm the cruellest treated of martyrs,
I'm the poorest of all the Whig host,
So I'll swing from the bed in my garters,
In my anguish for Paradise Lost I

FOREIGN.

The. French Government Journals appear to have
received an intimation from the Court to be less enthu-
siastic in their support of Christina, for the papers of
Thursday rather deprecate any interference with the in-
ternal affairs of Spain. The Journal des Debuts alone
contends that the French interest must be maintained
at all hmards at Madrid, and broadly asserts that France,
and France only, must provide a husband for the young
Queen. This is a question which France will not
be allowed to settle after this free and easy fashion.
On the 10th inst. General O'Donnell summoned the
town of Pampeluna to surrender, and on receiving a re-
fusal, cannonaded it from the citadel. The summons
was renewed on the 11th with the same result, when a
heavy fire was opened upon the town, which did immense
damage. O'Donnell was without provisions, and the
troops cf Espartero in possession of the town had en-
tirely cut off his supplies. Tho result of the cannonade
of the 11th is not yet known.
The following is an extract from theCourrier Francais,
suggested by the reports of a financial crisis in England.
We fear that the hatred of this country which it betrays
is but too general even among the educated classes in
France:—" A bad harvest, the interruption of labour in
several of the manufacturing districts, the distress of
the working classes, the deficit of the public revenue,
and the embarrassment of the Bank of England all com-
bine to produce a position, which is anything but safe,
and out of which even immediate danger may arise.
In the event of a war with the United States, for in-
stance, Manchester would certainly be reduced to close
her factories, and the Bank of England to suspend its
payments. We do not desire this catastrophe. Nations
are now closely connected with each other in questions
of credit, and France has nothing to gain by the ruin,
or even the derangement of' English commerce ; but it
is pleasant to see the situation of those proud islanders,
who for a whole year dreamed of enchaining the world
in their policy, and rendering it tributary to their trade.
There they are trembling before a French fleet of twenty
ships of the line, and sinking under the weight of a finan-
cial operation, scarcely amounting to 4,600,0001. sterling.

A remarkable document, addressed by the Pope to
the Governments of Germany, relative to mixed mar-
riages, will be found in another part of The Sun. The
pretensions of , the See of Rome are as preposterous as
they were three centuries ago.
