VICI'OEIA.

This house was so crowded last night with gay
Christmas play-goers, that it was with much difficulty
standing room could be obtained to view the perfor-
mances. Susan llopley, which is a drama drawn from
humble life, interested the audience, and exited their
applause to the tip-top of any manager's desires. Robert
illacaire was the second piece ; after which came the
Victoria pantomime, with all its music, mystery, tricks,
tumbles, and devices. It resembled an ordinary drama
more than a set harlequinade, and, under the title of
Peter Wilkins, or Hamlequin and time King of the Aerial
1..1 Inds, represented the romantic adventures of that re-
nowned hero of melodramatic celebrity. The talent of
Miss Vincent, and the enterprise of Mr. Osbaldeston,
have produced ample amusement for the gratification of
their Christmas audiences. lleathorn's moving panorama
was a brilliant piece of scenic display ; and some dis-
solving views, by Childe, furnished a skilful phantas-
magoric spectacle. If variety and amusement are to be
sought,'the Victoria will supply them.

BATTY's OLYMPIC CIRCUS.
As often as Astley's Amphitheatre has fallen a prey
to devouring flames, it has revived, like the fabled
plwenix, from its own ashes, and more magnificent and
attractive than before. It is true, indeed, that since the

HAMBURGH MAIL.

HANovEr., DEc. 21.—The address of the two Cham-
bers in reply to the speech from the Throne, expresses
the deep regret inspired by the lamented death of the
Queen, and their sympathy with his Majesty in this great
loss, as well to the country as to his Majesty himself,
and presuming that matters of the highest importance
must have induced his Majesty to call them so suddenly
together, they have hastened to assemble round the
throne. They thank his Majesty for calling on them to
exercise their constitutional right on concerns of such im-
portance, and promise to devote their earnest attention
to them. They conclude with fervent wishes that his
Majesty may be permitted for many years to promote
the welfitre of his faithful subjects, promising on their part
the most conscientious exercise of their important duties.
BERLIN, Dre. 20.—Yesterday a report was all of a
sudden spread here that the King had accepted the invi-
tation of the English Court to go to London next month
to be present at the christening of the Prince of Wales.
It was said he had at first declined the invitation; but on
its being more urgently repeated, had agreed to undertake
the journey. The news spread like wild-fire, and was
thought to be founded on an article in
,the Staats
Zcituny (from London), which said that the King
would perhaps be present at the ceremony.—
The report, which . was as much believed as
disbelieved, needs confirmation. The King, it is said,
wishes to conclude with England a close connection, for
the protection of the Protestant religion. If this be so,
we ought to wish for his journey, for the Protestants
need protection, as a late example proves. We know
how the Protestant religion has been attacked since 1837
by foreign Popish journals and pamphlets, and how even
our own Government has been abused.

P.S. It is reported to-day in the higher circles that
the King will certainly set out for London on the 10th
of January by way of Calais, and probably return in time
for the festival of the Coronation at Berlin, on the first
Sunday after the 18th ofdan.—Hamburgh Papers, Dec. 24

MESSAGE•
the PRESIDENT of the
The Annual Message of.
of the ordinary
United States at the
Session of Congress, will be found in another
part of The Sun. It contains matter of the ut-
most importance to all classes of readers in this
country—legal, monetary, and commercial.

We have given a full report of the Coroner's
inquest op. the bodies of the unfortunate
persons
killed o.i the Great Western Railroad on Pridav
morning; and, on looking at the evidence, se
regret to say that we can see no reason for alter-
ing our opinion as to the cause of this lamentable
event. Mr. BRUNEL was examined on two
points--the slips of earth on the line, and the
system adopted by the Company of placing the
passenger-trucks next to the tender. His evi-
dence, however, only confirms the
impres-
sion made on the public mind by the firet
account of the accident. He admits that
he had observed slips on that part of
the line, and had given directions to drain
them well, and possibly they were drained
well but still two or three witnesses state that
they saw bulges some days previous on the very
spot where the earth fell. Other witnesses
stated a fact which no doubt justified the Jury
in returning• a verdict of 1,0001. deodand.

continue calm, there are hopes entertained of getting her

to the vessel. from which in all probability they had
been washed during the fatal night. That of Macarnochan

LAMBETH-STREET.

Saturday a considerable portion of the time of the sit-
ting Magistrate, Mr. Norton, was occupied in hearing
the evidence against Edward Beamond and Solomon
Levine, who were brought from the Mansion-house,
and who have been examined on a charge of being con-
cerned with others in obtaining several halts of goods
from Miller's Wharf, Lower East Smithfield, by means
of forged orders.
Mr. Child appeared for the ;sorer Levine
pr, Mr. Stocl-
dart for Beatnond, and Mr.llumphries for the prosecution.
From- the evidence given at the Mansion-house, it,
appeared that a person, not as yet in custody, called at
Miller's Wharf, and presented an order purporting to
come from Mr. Sangster, of Queen-street, Cheapside, for
three bales of soods which bad been brought from Scot-
land. The oraer being in the usual printed form, and
signed by a clerk in the employment of Mr. Sangster,
no suspicion was gftrtained about it, and the goods
were delivered up tie man, and on the following day
the forgery was detected. On the following day also a
great portion of the goods so stolen were traced to the
possession of the prisoner Beamond, and they were sub:
sequently sold by the prisoner Levine to different trades-
man at the east end of the town.
Mr. Manning, a linen-draper in Whitechapel, deposed
that he had purchased thirty-four pieces of cotton
goods from Levine, who had been known to him as a
commission agent for some years, on the 13th of the
,lae country,to and who
present month, for 201. its. 8d , or '33-d. per yard,
and paid him by a cheque. Levine led bins
to believe the goods belonged Beamond, who
had brought them from t
at-
tended with Levine when
e received the cheque in
Is
payment for them. Mr. Seaward, of the Commercial-
road, purchased eighty-four
pieces of the stolen goods
for 331. his., and Mr. Speclunan, of Ratcliffe Highway,
'
ten pieces for ivl, Ijs., and in an cases Beamond was

the last sale were well sustained. Terms, 6 months, pay-
able in the city.
FLOUR TRAM-111 is market was very much depressed
to-day by the news from Europe. Scarcely any sales

INSOLVENT COURT.

On Saturday John Edward Carew, the sculptor, ap-
plied to be discharged on sureties until his he :ring. It
tiTeared by the schedule of the insolvent, that after hav-
:rig been employed by Sir Richard Westmacott at a
ialary of 1,200/. a year, during which time he also rea-
iized annually in his own studio 800/., he entered into an
engagement with the late Earl of Egremont, seventeen
rears before his Lordship's death, to work under his
Lordship's directions with a salary of 1,700/. a year for
,ife, the Noble Earl undertaking to make the necessary
provision for payment in the event of the death of Ms
Lordship preceding that of the insolvent. Upon the
death of the Earl no provision was found to have been
made, and as the executors could not recognise the claim
of the insolvent, it was agreed that an action should be
tried, those gentlemen pledging themselves to be bound
by the result. An action was accordingly commenced,
to which a defence was set up, and the insolvent was
non-suited. The executors were inserted in the sche-
dule for the law-costs, 600/. Bail was accepted.

MARYLEBONE VESTRY.

On Saturday, at the meeting of the Marylcbone
Vestry, Mr. Gomm in the Chair, the Vestry entered
upon the discussion of the Minute, for confirmation,
agreeing to accept the Proposal of Messrs. Margrove
and Esdaile, the proprietors of Rankin's Patent Wood
Paving, to lay down"6oo yards of their specimen in
Oxford-street, bEtween South Molton-street and Duke.
st reet, without. subjecting the Vestry to any outlay, bet
at an annual charge of 3.. per square yard per annum.
Mr. FLOOD (the Vestry Clerk) said ho had received
a letter from the proprietors of Rankin's Patent, more
(Andy defining the terms upon which they proposed to
lay down their specimen than the tender• of the previous
week. The Vestry Clerk having read the letter,
Mr. HARBERT moved the conconfirmation of the
miaite, on the groUnd that the Vestry had no right to
if;eur add;tionA expense, whilst the specimen of the
Metropolitan Wood Company war still in a course of
i;eing tested.

7dr. GLAS lER hoped, the vestry would give Rankin's
Wood Paving a fair trial. The proposition of the pro-
prietors was most straightforward ; they, in fact, as
the Vostr3 bad seen ftoM the letter just read, offered to
test their paving on a dedvity, and the very worst
part of Oxford-street. The proprictors too were to
lay down the Wood paving at thdr own expense, and
remove it whenever the Vestry thought proper.
Mr. GEORGE had previously opposed the adoption of
wood pavement, but believing the specimen now under
discussion would remove all, the objections which had
arisen to the slipperiness of all the specimens of wood
paving hitherto laid down, he should certainly vote for
the confirmation of the minute. •
Mr. SODEN and others supported the confirmation of
the minute in favour of. Rankin's Wood "Paving, which
bias eventually carried by a majority of 25 to 14.

The General -------
Steam Navigation Company's
magnificent steam-ship, the Wilberforce, arrived at her
moorings on Saturday morning at half-past eight from
Ostend, having performed her
passage in the short space
of twelve hours and a half. She brought upwards of sixty
passengers.
During the past week, the wind blowing .strong
to the south-west, a great many
vessels have again taken
shelter in Ramsgate harbour, so that there is now quite
a fleet, amounting to nearly 200—among them a collier
which received great damage off Dungeness
,by another
vessel running into her stern, which .siove it In, whereby
two of the crew vvc,re drowned, falling over by the colli-
sione--lient Heracl . - - -

PENDRELL'S PATENT FLEXIBLE
PENHOLDER.—To ensure ease and comfort in the
use of Steel Pens, now in such general use, W. P. has, at
great trouble and expense, constructed a PENHOLDER pos-
sessing four great requisites, viz., cheapness, durability, neat
and elegant appearance, and flexibility.
To quote here the many scientific opinions that have been
given on the uses of Steel Pens, and of the great necessity of
having Elastic Holders, would far exceed the limits of an
advertisement.

The Proprietor humbly, but with great confidence, ays
before the publis this little, but no less effectual, promoter of
comfort, to all grades of society using a Pen, knowing that his
Flexible Penholder has only to be tried to be approved of.

The advantages offered to the publie by the above Offices
are such as result from a course of uninterrupted prosperity,
the fruits of a prudent and economical management for a pe-
riod of thirty-five years.
At the present time so many establishments exist, ♦ieing
with each other in the profession of benefits to the public,
which numerous failures, and consequent ruin to many in-
dustrious families have proved to be fallacious, that the Di-
rectors think they will best discharge their duty to the Proprie-
tors and to the Public by a simple statement of the advantages
which have been realised by these Offices.
The COUNTY FIRE OFFICE has not only settled all
claims with promptitude and liberality, but has, from its first
establishment, made large Returns to the Insured.—These
amount at the present time to 125,000/.
The PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE has at each septen-
peried divided the whole of the profits, subject to a deduc-
tion of about a twentieth part only, among the insured. The
benefits actually secured to lives insured in this Office, may be
judged of by the following Table.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PLYMOUTH.—The Crocodile, 26, lately paid off at this
port, was taken into the Stern-dock on Monday evening.
In the Sound (Tuesday).—The Malabar, Madagascar,
North Star, Harlequin, Espoir ; Belleisle, Apollo, Sap-
phire, troop-ships ; Somersetshire, convict-ship ; and
Diligence, transport.
In Harbour in Commission.—The Caledonia, guard-
ship ; San Josef, Minden, Isis, Fly, Ferret ; Alban,
steam-vessel ; and Hamoaze, Devon, and Camel, lighters.
In Dock.—The Resistance, Canopus, Bellona, line-of-
battle ships, repairing ; Crocodile, 36, to be examined ;
Wolf, brig, under large repair.
On the Slips, building.—The Albion, 90, laid down two
years and three months in slip No. 1 ; Exmouth, 90, laid
down sixteen months, slip No. 2 ; Aboukir, 90, just be-
gun, on slip No. 3 ; Flora, frigate, No. 4 slip.
In consequence of the ravages on the wood floors of
slips No. 1,2, and 3 committed by the li,nnoria, or
gribble worm, and the teredo navalis, or auger worm, it
has been considered necessary to substitute granite stone
for wood. The bottom of the slip on which the Aboukir
is laid has lately been repaired with stone. The wood
in some parts was so thoroughly eaten by these little de-
structives as to appear like sponge.

GRAND REFORM FESTIVAL.

[FROM A CORRESPONDENT.]
STOIE-UPON..TRENT, WEDNESDAY.—This afternoon
a public dinner was given at Burdem, at the Bedford
Arms Inn, in honour of Mr. Ricardo, the Liberal
Member for the borough. Richard Heathcote, Esq.,
formerly Member, and proposer of Mr. Ricardo, was in
the Chair, supported by J. A. Wyse, C. J. Mason.
John Ridgway, William Harding (Coroner), Esqs., and
a great number of respectable householders.
About 200 were accommodated in the chief apart-
ment, and 700 in others who joined the former after the
cloth was removed. The apartment in which this ma-
nifestation of Liberal principles was made, was hung
with drapery, and large festoons of ivy and laurel, with
a profusion of rosettes of the colours used by the Libe-
rals. The tables were well supplied with venison, game,
&c., from the parks at Trentham, the preserves of Ape-
dale, Whitmore, Clayton, and Fenton, the farms at
Longton. Hanley, Shelton, and the Grange. The ad-
joining premises, lately occupied by the Bank, were
kindly allowed to be used for the gentlemen to assemble
in, prior to entering the apartment for the banquet.
The desert had been collected from the numerous con-
servatories of the Liberals in the district ; the wines
were of the most choice excellence. Burslem never
witnessed before such an assemblage of real talent and
high respectability.
Many speeches suitable to the occasion were made,
and the Company did not break up till a late hour.

SINCE. With all the Author's Introductions and Notes.

Antiquary," and all the other Navels and Romances of Sir
Walter Scott.

The Proprietors arc anxious to meet the wishes of many in-
telligent Correspondents among the Working Classes, who re-
present that, notwithstanding the great circulation and unpa-
ralleled celebrity of THE W tVERLEY NOVELS, thou-
sands upon thousands of our industrious countrymen have yet
to form acquaintance with the Baron Bradwardines and Fergus
APlvors, the Meg Merrilees and Dominic Sampsons, the Ed .e
Ochiltrees," Old Mortalities, Die Vernons, Rob Roys, Jeanie
Deanses, and numberless other immortal creations of the Prince
of Novelists. The edition now announced will, it is hoped, be
allowed to put these marvellous performances within the reach
of the masses.

It is expected that the entire Novels will comprise about 260
sheets ; and, besides the Weekly Issue, a Monthly stitched
Part, price Ninepence, will be delivered with the Magazines.

IN RE WIIITEHEAD,

This day being appointed for a meeting of creditors
under the lint agatnst the bankrupt, who was an extensive
printer in Fl«q-street,
Mr. CHAmnEns (the Barrister) applied to have the
bankrupt out of Court during the examination of Mr.
Chandler, an annuity broker, ►►li was a nephew •of the
bankrupt, and concerning who►n there was much dis-
cussion, as to whether he was a debtor or creditor to the
estate. His object in making this application was to
prevent the bankrupt from having any unfair advantage
in giving his answers on a future occasion.
The bankrupt's solicitor said, if the Court required
the bankrupt to leave the Court, lie should take a note
of the examination, which would be available .to the
bankrupt.
Mr. Chandler's examination (which the Court decided
was private) was then proceeded with.

DISTRESS AT PRESTON.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin—Witnes,ing the lots of furniture (if tit can be
called by that name) sold every day at the Obelisk, be,
longing to poor people, who are sold 41p for rent, I ap-
plied to a rent-collector for a statement of the gross
amount of such sales. He gave me a list of thirteen
eases, which I beg to enclose. This list proves two
points: first, the lamentable destitution of poor families,
when the whole of the furniture and bedding will not
fetch more than 2s. Bd., 3s. 4d., 6s. 3d., or rarely indeed
as touch as 15s. It also fully explains why the home
trade is almost entirely at a stand. 1 specially beg the
attention of the well fed, will clothed, well bedded, and
well housed bread taxers, to this appalling statement.
Preston, Pee. 16. Yours,
[ln the list transmitted only two. sales exceeded 155.;

keeper; and another 11. 11s. •, the average of the other
