The Lord Mayor and a deputation from the Cor-
poration of the city of Dublin also went down to
Windsor this forenoon, to present an ad4ress to the
Queen, praying for the opening of the ports.

Both addresses will be received on the Throne,
and the Sovereign, on this interesting ceremonial,
will be attended by Sir Robert Peel, Sir James
Graham, and others of the Ministers, who have left
town to attend the Court.

Her Majesty will hold an Investiture of the Bath
this afternoon at Windsor Castle, at which some of
the principal knights and officers of the order will
assist.

Extensive preparations have been made at the
Castle for the reception and accommodation of the
very numerous visitors who will fill its spacious saloons.

CLERKENITELL.-(THIS DAY.)
Elizabeth Doman was placed at the bar, charged with
being an accomplice with a person named Smith, now
in custody, in robbing Mr. Linton, of 85, Hatton-garden,
of plate, wearing apparel, half a dozen of claret, and
other wines, with many other valuable articles.
When the prisoner Smith, who described himself as a
person of independent fortune residing in Victoria-road,
Peckham, was brought before the magistrate, it was said
that the prisoner Doman had taken poison, and such
was the fact. When, however, she heard of Smith being
in custody, she went voluntarily to the police-court, and
thence to the police-station, where she was at once se-
cured and charged with the felony.
Inspector Penny stated that she had plunged into a
water-but with the intent of drowning herself, and that
she had been formerly a nurse in the Fever Institution,
and latterly passed as Smith's wife, who was a visitor
at Mr. Linton's house, but against the wish of that gen-
tleman.

The prisoner acknowledged she was a party to taking
the wine, but denied any knowledge of the plate and
wearing apparel. She was remanded.

MARLBRO'-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
John Wilson and Thomas Simmons, able-bodied young
men, about 25 years of age, were charged with causing
a disturbance at St. George's Workhouse, in Mount-
street, Grosvenor-square.
John Lacy, the officer of the parish, stated that
about eight o'clock last evening the prisoners applied at
the worknouse to be sheltered for the night. They
were told that they could not be received, as the place
was quite full, but they were offered food and directed
to proceed on their way to the parish to which they be-
longed. They refused to receive the food, and continued to
ring violently at the hall-door bell, and caused a number of
persons to assemble in a riotous and tumultuous manner.
Eventually they were given in charge to the police,
and when searched at the station, Wilson was found to
have 2s. Bd. in his possesion, and Simmons Is. 4id.,
and a large quantity of broken victuals, cold roast beef,
potatoes, &c.
Mr. HARDWICK said that these excesses of persons
applying for relief could not be permitted. He hoped
that this case would be a caution to the prisoners and
others. If they would promise to go on their way to
their parishes, he should discharge them.
They gladly consented to do so, and were liberated.

HAMBURGH AND FLANDERS
MAILS.

VIENNA, DEC. 23.—Great preparations are making for the
arrival of the Emperor of Russia, who is very shortly ex-
pected. In some circles great pleasure is felt at the Em-
peror's having, as is said, kissed the Pope's hand ; and
though it is well kno.gtll,

to believe that the whole matter had fallen to the ground :
it has hitherto been enveloped in so much mystery that it is
difficult to say anything definitive on the subject.
VIENNA, DEC. 20.—Numerous arrests have taken place in
Galicia. There are even reports that the plot has extended
to the military.—Hanzburgh Papers, Dec. 31.
BRUSSELS, bEC. 30.—The average price of Wheat, in the
week ending the 27th of December, was 23f. 86c., and that of
Rye ISE 28c. This price differs little from those of the pre-
ceding week. Wheat and Rye are five centimes dearer.
The Senate, in its sitting on the 29th, adopted the projects
of law authorising the Government to modify the regime of
the importations and transit, either direct or in transit through
the entrepots, and the budgets of the public debt, and of the
dotations.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT OPPOSITE SOMERSET HOUSE.

—This afternoon, about ten minutes after one o'clock, the
following frightful accident occurred to a gentleman, at pre-
sent unkown, which it is feared will terminate fatally. It
appears that at the time above named the unfortunate gen-
tleman, who seems about forty years of age, was in the act
of crossing the roadway from Somerset House, towards
the 11torning Chronicle newspaper office, and before he
could reach the kerb he was knocked down by a heavily-
laden cart belonging to Messrs. Mott and Co., the pianoforte
manufacturers, of the Strand. The driver did all he could
to prevent the accident, but before the horse could be stopped
the off wheel passed over his body, about the loins. He was
lifted from the ground by several persons who witnessed the
accident, and placed in a cab in an insensibie state, with va-
rious contusions about the hands and face. Ho was taken to
the King's College Hospital, where he was put under the care
of the house surgeon. He was in a very precarious state at
half-past-one this afternoon.
ROBBIRY AT A COAST-GUARD STATION.—Friday
information was circulated among the Metropolitan and City
police that some thief or thieves had, by some means, entered
the station of the Coast-guard at Corton, Lowestoft, near
Yarmouth, end stolen therefrom nine pistols, which are de.
sh•ribed as having the Government (commonly called the
Tower) mark upon the barrels, and flint locks, brass mounted,
stop locks, swivel ram rods, barrels 4i inches long,
rings upon the ends, by which they are fasten-A to the
person using them at sea, and maker's name engraved
upon the locks, " Barnet." The audacity of the robbery has
c'oubtlessly thrown the parties connected with the above
station into considerable exc;tement, as it might probably
have been effected by some bold smugglers, or through their
instrumentality, in order to further their designs.
Sir W. Fletcher, whose eccentricities have for some

time past formed the principal topic of conversation with the
good people of Toulouse, has been placed in a )liaison do Sante,
there being no doubt that his reason is affected.
Liebig, the well known chemist, has just been
created Baron by the Grand Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt.
PERRAN PORTIL—On Sunday last, a boat, about 14
feet long, was picked up at this place, by Mr. Moses Bawden,
having a spar hole lashed to the thwarts. There was no
name painted on her, but it is supposed that she belonged to
some vessel that has been lost in the channel.— West Briton.
UNITED TWINS.—The twin children born four or
five months ago, united to each other from end to end, died
on Monday night, one
at eight o'clock, and the other at
ten; so that the last survivor remained attached to the dead
body f its sister for two hours.—G alignani.
On Alonday two casks of wine, found floating at
sea by a French vessel, were taken to Shoreham, and de-
posited in the Custom-house stores. The master of the
tench ship stated that there s. ci a an hkinien.se nu:nber of
casks in the sea, but that the violence of the gale prevented
him from securing any more. There is no doubt but that a
vessel, laden with wine, has foundered off this coast. —Brig/v.
