CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES
The gaiety that reigns supreme at the social re-unions of this
period of the year induces the fair and youthful to be more than usu-
ally desirous of shining in personal attraction, while the rick luxuri-

of teeth form admirable trophies of the inestimable 'virtues of

NUMEROUS FIRES.

Between the hours of ten A.M. on Tuesday, and the
same hour of Wednesday, not fewer than ten fires oc-
curred in the metropolis, which kept the firemen and
engines during that period in continued movement.
One fire took place at 3, Tennis-court, Middle-row,
Holborn, belonging to Mr. J. Quain, a carpenter. It
commenced in the cellar, in which a quantity of
shavings were deposited. Timely information having
been forwarded to the fire stations, with all speed the
engines of the London Fire Brigade and %Vest of
England attended, and the eiAgiut3 telvieg been set to
work, the Brigade succeeded, after much trouble, in
confining the flames to the lower part of the house.
Another fire occurred at 29, Plough-court, Fetter-
lane, by which a child nearly lost its life. It appears
that a young child had been left in the bookbinders'
room of Mr. F. Homer, when it set fire to a quantity
of paper cuttings, and the flames nearly encircled
her. Her screams brought assistance, and she was
fortunately rescued in the nick of time, and the fire
was soon extinguished. The third. fire was at 20,
Colville-place, Charlotte-street, Fiteroy-square, be
longing to Mr. Alfred Vile, proprietor of the Rose
and Crown Tavern. It was caused from some par-
tially-consumed tobacco falling in the stuffing at the
end of the skittle-ground. The inmates soon got the
flames out, before any material damage was done,
although the alarm was very great. About the same
time a fire broke out at 35, e i sh-street-hill, belonging
to Mr. Arthur Snowden, butcher. It was caused
from a spark falling from a lighted candle, which set
a cupboard and the furniture in the second floor in
flames. About an hour previously, a fire, which at
one period threatened very serious consequences, took
place on the premises belonging to Mr. Donald
Robertson, a dairyman, No. 15, Sherrard-street,
Golden-square. This was also caused by a spark from
a candle, which set the bed and furniture in flames.
The seventh fire occurred at No. 1, Bow-common-
lane, Bromley, in the occupation of Mr. N. Nealing,
which did considerable damage. About the same
time a fire broke out at five, Hungerford-street,
Strand, belonging to a lodger named C. Brown. It
occurred in the first floor, but was not extinguished
until the bed and furniture were destroyed therein.
The eighth fire was at 5, East-street, Finsbury-
market, in the tenure of Messrs. James /toscoe and
Son, oil and colourmen. The firemen, by dint of
great exertion, got the flames out, but not until the
shop and its contents were severely damaged by fire.
The ninth fire was at 74, Houndsditch, belonging to
Messrs. Jones and Co., leather-sellers. It was
caused by a bottle, filled with whisky, bursting with
the heat of the counting-house fire. The firemen
soon got the flames out, but not before the stock with
basement vvas clam le;.(1 by fire, &e The fir.-
was in Argyle-street, New-road, but the damage done
was not considerable.

Various inquiries having of late been made as to whether this

others who may be the means of procuring business, the Directors
take this opportunity of expressing their disapproval of the system,
and of intimating that except to the recognised and duly appointed
local agents of the Society, no allowance of the kind is ever made,
the effect of any such misapplication of the funds of a Mutual As-

their benefit alone.

FRAMPTON'S PILL of HEALTH.
The manifold advantages to the Heads of Families from the
possession of a medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to
with confidence, and used with success in cases of temporary sickness
occurring in families, more or less, every day, are so obvious to all,
that no question can be raised of its importance to every householder
in the kingdom. From among numerous testimonials, the following
is respectfully submitted :
" To Mr. Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London.

" No. 5, David-street, Regent-road, Manchester, March 12,1842,

" Slr,—l have much satisfaction in communicating to you the re-
sult of my experience after repeated male of Frampton's Pill of
Health ; and I feel it bat justice to state, that in the course of many
years' trial of various Aperient Medicines, I have never found results
at once so salutary and efficient in the relief of the system from
redundant bile, &c., &c., with so little inconvenience ; I am there-
fore warranted in declaring that they supply to me a means loin,
wanting of being able to recommend to families, schools, and espe-
cially mercantile men, whether at the desk or on the road, a most
valuable resource in an occasional medicine. And I shall take credit
to myself if, in giving this testimony, I am the means of making
Frampton's Pills more generally known and appreciated.—l am,
Sir, respectfully yours, " WILLIAM SMITH."
The unprecedented sale of these Pills, arising from the earnest
recommendations of the many thousands who have derived benefit
from their use, render any lengthened comment unnecessary. They
are not put forth as a cure for all diseases to which mankind is
liable, but for Bilious and Liver Complaints, with their many well-
known attendants, Bilious and Sick Headache, Pain and Oppression
after meals, Giddiness, Dizziness, Singing Noise in the Head and
Ears, Drowsiness, Heartburn, Less of Appetite, -Wind, Spasms, &c.

Two or three doses will convince the- afflicted of their salutary
effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength; a healthy
action of the Liver, Bowels and Kidneys will rapidly take place ;
and instead of listlessness, heat, pains, and jaundiced appearance,
strength, activity, and renewed health, extending to good old age,
will be the result of taking this medicine, according to the directions
accompanying each box.

Sold by T. Prout, 229, Strand, London. Price Is. I)4d. and 2s. 9d.
per box; and by the Vendors of Medicines generally throughout the
kingdom.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

SHEFFIELD, ROTHERANT; BARNSLEY, WAKE-
FIELD, HUDDERSFIELD AND GOOLE.

An extraordinary general meeting of this company
was held in Wakefield yesterday, for the purpose of ap-
proving the draft-deed of a lease of the above line to
the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company; also
for the purpose of modifying the terms of a lease entered
into with the above company in 1847, as regards so much
of this projected line as is situated to the north of the
Barnsley station including the Silkstone branch. Mr.
John Barff presided.
The CHAIRMAN proceeded, at great length, to remark
upon the charges which had been from time to time re-
iterated in Herapath's Journal against the chairman
(Air. E. H. Beaumont) and Mr. Wentworth. From
those statements it would seem that the journal in ques-
tion had charged them with promoting this line with
the view of selling their land at a high price, and,
having accomplished that object, they now sought to
hand over the shareholders to the tender mercies of
the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company. He (the Chair-
man) having been on the Land Committee, had no hesi-
tation in saying that such charges were unwarranted by
the facts of the case. When the line was originally laid
out, a surveyor was appointed on the part of those two
gentlemen, and another on the part of the company; but
the Land Committee were so fully satisfied with the rea-
' son able nature of the claim made on behalf of those gen-
tlemen, that they unanimously recommended its pay-
ment. He (the Chairman) from a knowledge of the
price paid for land on the Great Northern and other
similar lines, did not hesitate to say that the company
had saved several thousands of pounds by the good
feeling displayed towards the company by those two
gentlemen. lie then explained the terms of the agree-
ment proposed to be entered into with the Lancashire and
Yorkshire Company, the basis of which was that the line
should be open for public traffic and delivered into the
lessees' hands in a working condition on the Ist of
January, 1850. The shareholders were to receive in-
terest at the rate of five per cent. upon the capital ex-
pended in the making of the line, and half the sur-
plus profits. Should the lessees make a second line of
rails the capital thus expended was to be calculated at
the same amount of interest. In answer to inquiries,
the Chairman said that the line would be opened by the
time named in the agreement, and as the contractor's
and minor estimates were already made, allowing for all
contingencies of an ordinary character, the directors felt
confident that the amount of calls required would not
exceed 181. 10s. per share.
The requisite resolutions were then entered into for
leasing the above line on the terms in question, which
were carried unanimously.
A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman
and the proceedings terminated.

REVIEW eF TELE WIIIRK.

Lelfert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are
scenes is the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
Into which such scenes must plunge him In the book before its
suck a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the
erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al-
ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
at masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of
philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a
production calculated to confer &vital benefit, physically and morally,
upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and
propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. Ey un
taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever
laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these
pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of
a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine."

PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION.

I am at a loss for terms in which to express my
sense of the favour with which this work has been
received by the public, both at home and abroad.
Two very large editions, thrice as large as I could
have contemplated, before yielding to the confidence of
my publishers,were exhausted almost immediately, and
the second has been now out of print for several
months. I greatly regret the delay which has oc-
curred in bringing out this third edition, and the dis-
appointment which may have been felt by numerous
applicants for copies of the work. That delay has
been occasioned by the pressure of numerous engage-
ments, which prevented my bestowing upon the pre-
sent edition the careful revision which it has now
received. The necessity of that revision may be ac-
counted for by the rapidity and suddenness with
which " Now and Then" was written, and passed
through the press, Not a line of the manuscript was
in existence previously to near midnight on the 20th
November, 1847 ; yet it was in the hands of the
printer at a very early hour in the morning of the
9th of December, and was actually published on
Saturday, the 18th of December; on which day, and
the ensuing Monday, the entire edition was disposed
of, and the second in preparation. During the brief
interval above mentioned, I wrote 'principally in the
night time, my days being necessarily otherwise
occupied. While making these statements, however,
I anxiously deprecate the imputation of having
rushed before an iindulgent ,public without due
and respectful consideration; for this story, the
elements iof which Lad been long floating in
my mind, had been thoroughly thought out,
in all its parts, during the two months immediately
preceding the day on which I began to write ; and I
venture to doubt whether many modern books of this
description have occasioned their authors more delibe-
rate and anxious consideration than I had bestowed on
this one before sitting down to write. Whatever
faults of execution and detail may still be found, this
at least I can truly affirm, that every character, con-
versation, and incident introduced, is the result of
much reflection, and is in strict subordination to a
determined purpose, steadily kept in view from be-
ginning to end. The plan may be faulty, and the
conceptions unsatisfactory ; but such as it is it has
been completely carried out.
I had, as I conceived, very important objects in
view, in writing this work; but it would be almost an
impertinence here to indicate them, for they are suffi-
ciently obvious to a thinking reader. I have, how-
ever, two observations to offer on this subject.
First,—that I most advisedly abstained, for grave
reasons, from so contriving the plot of the story,
as to make it in accordance with what is under-
stood by the woxds " poetical justice." klAd L been

ITALY.

GARIBALDI'S legion, 1,000 strong-, arrived at
Venice on the 14th, in three Sardinian steamers.
The legion garrisons Fort Maighera, from which
the Croats were recently repulsed. Provisions are
abundant in Venice.

Letters from Trieste, of the 17th inst., published
in the Austrian Lloyd's Gazette, do not mention the
arrival or appearance off that port of a Russian fleet.
Admiral ALBINI, the commander of the Sardinian
fleet, sailed from Ancona on the 13th, only leaving
a frigate and a steamer there; his squadro❑, consist-
ing of five sail and one steamer, is cruising between
Quarnero and the Italian coast. The _French steamer
Asmod6e was at anchor at Ancona.
A grand service was performed in the Duomo of
Milan on the 14th, by the Archbishop, in celebration
of the accession of the Emperor FRANCIS JOSEPH.
The Theatre of La Scala was illuminated in the
evening.
The Provisional Government of Rome intend to
accredit envoys to the various Courts. Count Po-
roil will, it is said, be the Roman representative
in London.

Major• General Thomas James Wemyss, C. 8., is
placed upon the list of general officers who are in the

HINTS TO EMIGRANTS FOR NEW

BRUNSWICK.

I would advise all emigrants for New Brunswick
to go out, if possible, in the months of March or April,
and to make St. John their landing place; it is a
stirring, busy town, with more than 30,000 inhabi-
tants, and, in fact, the real capital of the province,
although the seat of Government is at Frederickton,
eighty miles higher up the river. The course to be
pursued on arrival must vary with the circumstances
and means of the emigrant. To agricultural labourers,
single men, and without capital, I would say, get
employment on a farm as soon as possible; do not
stand out for high wages, but take anything like a
fair offer. Having worked through the spring and
summer, and thus gained a little experience in the
mode of tillage adopted on new land, which, after all,
has its peculiarities, I would advise him in October
to engage with some lumberer, of whom, as master
or " boss," he hears a good character from his fellow-
labourers, for the ensuing winter, or till the logs come
down in the following spring. This is called*" engaging
for the route." His pay will vary from 3-1. to 4/. per
month, and he will feed like a prince on salt pork,
and cod fish, beans, excellent bread, with tea and
molasses. There is no stint of food in a camp, and
master and men share alike. Here he will learn to
handle the axe, an indispensable accomplishment, but
one which few Englishmen can master at first ; he
will have a complete specimen of life in the woods,
which will enable him to judge how far the climate,
the nature of the work, and the mode of life suit his
habits and constitution ; and if he be possessed of
ordinary intelligence, he will obtain from his com-
rades, as well as from his own observations, a store of
hints and maxims, as well as local information, which
will be of the greatest use to him in his selection and
management of land, or in any other occupation
which he may afterwards decide on following. As
soon as stream driving is over, which will be,
according to the earliness or lateness of
the season, in April or May, I would
advie him to make immediate. application at the
Crown land or Company's office (I prefer the former),
for gfty gores of wilderness 'Audi And to commence

NEW COURT.
(13,,,0re the I:F.coanEit.)
Jana-s Broadley, Igo I 40, a resp,ctable-looking man,
describ,A as a :4oltism.tb, was in licte 1 for stealing e
ring, value 104, the pro,erty of Richard Willis, his em-
ployer.
It appeared that the rit.g was entrusted to toe pri•
Boner, and that he pledge I it, without the knowledge or
permission of his employ,r, with a pawnbroker for 61.
and then absente l himself from his employment. (Jo
returning to work, he at tint denied having taken it,
but ultimately gave information where it had been
pawned.
The prosecutor sa'd tLe p:•isont-r had hitherto borne a
good character for b mesiy, and that he had never be-
fore missed any prop :rty tr ,m his prcaliser.
The jury found th' prfsoaer guilty, and he was sen-
tenced to imprisonme .t ti r tkree calendar mouths in the
House of Correction.

SURREY SESSION S—( THIS DAY.
(Before Tnowas PIICKLE, Esq., and a fuii Bench of

Magistrate's.)
Eliot Reed was indicted for stealing a sovereign and a
half from the person of Henry Lloyd, at Newington.
She was found Guilty, and sentenced to six months'
imprisonment with hard labour at Brixton.
Mary Awe Hayes was indicted for stealing two half-
crowns, the property of George Ires, at Bermondsey.
The prisoner lodged at the prosecutor's house, and in
the early part of September absconded with the money
and a hair brush. A few days afterwards she was ap-
prehended.
In defence the prisoner said that she never saw the
money, and that the brush was given to her by the pro-
iocutor's wife. The reason of her leaving the house, was
oecause Mrs. Ires told her to go.
The prosecutor's wife denied her assertion.
The jury found hcr Guilty, and the Court sentenced
her to six months at Brixton.

MARLBRO' STREET—(THIS DAY.)
Emma Jones, a woman of the town, was charged be-
fore Mr. Hardwick with being drunk and striking
several gentlemen with her umbrella.
Folice. constable C 310 said about nine o'clock on the
previous night he was on duty in Bond street, when his
ittention was called to the prisoner, who was very much
the worse for liquor, flourishing an umbrella over her
head. He watched her, and saw her go up to several of
the French National Guards, who were passing, and
" poke" them in the ribs with the umbrella. Witness
seeing that the gentlemen were much annoyed at the
prisoner's conduct, went and put a stop to her pranks by
conveying her to the station.
The prisoner, who denied all knowledge of what she
had done, was fined 75., and in default committed fur one
month.

AUSTRIA.

Letters have been received in Paris, dated Vienna,
on the afternoon of the 18th inst , which announce
that confidence was beginning to be felt that the
existing differences with the Emperor would be ar-
ranged without bloodshed. The Bank had begun to
resume its operations, but the barricades erected at
the •extremity of the city and in the suburbs still
remained.

The Allgemeine Oesterreichische Zeitung in its
" Latest Intelligence," of the 18th, states that on that
day the shops in Vienna were generally re-opened,
and the small traders resumed their operations. The
exchange was opened, but of course no business of
importance was transacted. Provisions were scarce,
and prices were gradually rising. The advance of
the Hungarian army was confidently expected.
