MEETING OF DELEGATES OF THE METROPOLITAN
RAGGED Scitom.s.—Last night at seven o'clock a confer-
ence of delegates, connected with the various metropolitan
ragged schools,which was convened in compliance with'acir-
cular issued by the committee, was held in the large school-
room of the Field-lane Ragged School, Holborn-hill, for the
purpose of taking into consideration several propositions
forwarded to and approved of by the committee, having in
view the further improvement of ragged schools. There
are about 100 schools in the various parts of the metropolis
from every one of which two delegates were invited to at-
tend. The Earl of Shaftesbury presided, and a succession
of speakers spoke cn practical points connected with their
charitable work. It appeared a source of difficulty that the
children of a better class of persons than those for whom
the schools are provided were gradually supplanting the
most destitute.

THE CONVICT SMITH.—This wretched man, now
lying under sentence of death in Newgate, for the murder Ic7f
the infant child of a woman with whom be cohabited, was
visited yesterday in his cell by the Sheriffs, Messrs. Swift
and Cotterill, accompanied by the ordinary of the_ gaol the
Rev. Mr. Davis, and by the Under-Sheriffs, Messrs. Hopwood
and Mellard. The Sheriffs having intimated to the convict
that the day fixed for his execution was Monday, the 22d in-
stant, the wretched man received the intelligence without
emotion, and maintained the same indifference which has
marked his conduct since his conviction. It is generally
supposed that the convict imagines that his life will be saved.

formation containing four counts, and involving penalties to
the amount of 1,400/. The first count charged him with
using a false certificate for the receipt of spirits, so that the
accounts made by the revenue officers migt,t be frustrated ;
secondly, with having in his possession spirits unaccompa-
nied by a legal permit; thirdly, with having, as a rectifier,
an illegal excess of spirits in his stock; and, fourthly, with
having deposited s, iris with intent to defraud the revenue
of the duty chargeable thereon. The facts were proved by
the euidence of the revenue cfficers, one of whom stated that
a permit for S gallons had been changed to SO. Mr. Com-
missioner Stephenson said this was a very serious offence,
especially es the defendant had been formerly convicted in
penalties mounting to 1,400 L, which, on petitions stating
his contrition and a promise not to offend again, were miti-
gated to 2501. The Court should, therefore, now give a
judgment against bim final and conclusive, and which would
be immediately levied, in the sum 01 6001., with the forfeiture
of the spirits that bad been seized.

DEATH FROM NEGLIGENCE OF A CABMAN.—Last
evening Mr. IV. Payne held an inquest at St. Bartholomew's
Hospital, on view of the body of Thomas Johnson, whose
death was occasioned by the negligent driving of Henry
Mazey, a cabman. On the 4th of November last, about
twelve o'clock at night, the deceased was in a gig with Mr.
Stagg, who was driving the same down the Borough-road,
when they suddenly saw a hackney cab rushing towards
them at a pace of twelve miles an hour, the cab driver whip-
ping the horse violently all the time. The gig was about
eight feet from the kerb and was on its right side. The cab-
man drove the vehicle between the gig and the kerbstone,
and the shaft of the cab ran into the shoulder of the gig
horse; both shafts were broken off the gig, and its two oc-
cupants were thrown into the road. Deceased then told some
of the bystanders that he had his leg broken. He was re-
moved to the hospital, where he gradually sank and expired
on the 16th of November. At the time of the accident
Henry Mazey, the cabman, was taken to the police-station,
and was there considered by the officers to be much the worse
for liquor, but as there was no charge made against him he
was set at liberty. However as there was afterwards consi-
dered to be blame attached to him he was apprehended and
lodged in Giltspur-street Compter on the 24th ult. The jury
after fifteen minutes' deliberation, returned a verdict of
" Manslaughter" against Henry Mazey.

A THEATRE BURNT DowN.—On Tuesday, shortly
after midnight, a fire broke out in North Shields Theatre,
and notwithstanding the activity of the fire brigade and the
military, who were soon on the spot, and very active, re-
duced it to ruins in less than two hours. The origin of the
fire has not been discovered, but it has either been produced
by gas or by some of the audience having let a spark fall
from a pipe. Nearly all the properties and scenery, belong-
ing to Mr. Samuel Roxby, the proprietor, have been de-
stroyed. They are valued at between twelve and fifteen
hundred pounds, and are not insured. The building is in-
sured. North Shields is in the Sunderland and Scarborough
circuit—a circuit of some eminence in the provinces. The
theatre was once the property of the Kemble family; it now
belongs to Mr. Samuel Roxby, brother of Mr. William Be-
verley, the eminent scene-painter. The theatre having been
destroyed in the middle of his season, the loss to Mr. Roxby
will be considerable.

The RQv. Edward Augustus Books, M.A., incum-
bent of Avebury and Monckton, Wilts, has been presented
by his parishioners with a very handsome ornamental time-
piece, having on a plinth a suitable inscription expressive of
their esteem and respect.

INCREASE OF PRESTON.—During the present year
not less than 670 new houses have been erected at Preston,
and there never was a time when so few houses were unoc-
cupied. One is scarcely empty before it is re-taken, and
many of the new ones have been let before they have been
roofed in.—Preston Chronicle.
AN APPROPRIATE TOAST.—On her Majesty's re-
cent visit to Lancaster Castle, the debtors confined in that
stronghold had a commemorative dinner, at which they
feelingly drank the following toast :—" May the tree of
liberty be planted in the Castle yard, and every one confined
within its walls cut his stick from it."

FRANCE

We read in the Coratztutiounel General La 02 °
tine, who has just been appointed to the command of
the National Guard of Paris, entered the army in
1805, in the 3 i Dragoons ; in 1807 he was made
lieutenant in the 2d Cuirassiers ; in 1810 he was
captain and aide-decamp of Marshal Sebastiani,
then commanding in Spain; in 1812 he was chef
d'escadron ; ;n 1813, officer of the Legion of Ho-
nour ; in 18143 colonel at the battle of Arcis-sur-
Aube ; and in 1815, colonel of the 3d Chas-
sears. During the first period of his military
life, General Lawcestine was present at almost all
the important battles from Jena to Waterloo, during
the campaigns of Prussia, Poland, Spain, Russia,
Saxony, France, and Belgium. He was placed on
the order of the army at the battle of Almonacid,
and the capture of Malaga. In 1815 the career of
General Lawcestine was interrupted. As colonel at
26 he was one of those who resigned from the arrnY
of the Loire. In 1830 he re-entered the servicee,
through the entreaties of Marshal Gerard, as colon
of. the 6th Hussars. In 1831 he was named general
l
of brigade, and commander of the Legion of Honour.
He was then the oldest officer of the Legion of
Honour in the cavalry. In 1831 and 1832 he
commanded the brigade of the advanced guard, under
the orders of Marshal Gerard. In 1841 he was
general of division ; and in 1846 a grand officer of
the Legion of Honour. In 1848 he was struck out
by the Provisional Government from the cadres of
the army, although he bad not attained the age for
retiring,'

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTER,
TeeesnaY.—There has been less ani-
mation and a smaller amount of business in our market
to-day than there was last Tuesday or Thursday. This is
merely a consequence, however, of the recent extensive
operations, ethic.h have placed sellers and buyers largely
under contract, in the leading descriptions of yarns and
goods—more largely, indeed, than has been the case at
the end of November for a long period. A telegraphic
announcement that the President of the French Republic
had daringly brought his struggle with the Assembly
to a crisis, by proclaiming universal suffrage, and ap-
pealing to the people, reached us just at high 'Change,
and of course added in some degree, though but slightly,
to that quietness which is the result of the cause referred
to. In both yarns and goods an entire firmness
has prevailed at the quotations of Saturday last,
up to which day there continued to be an upward
bias in prices. -More would be elute in water twist, in
the warp and the bundle, but for the difficulty of
puechasing for d.'livery within a reasonable period.
Mule twist, from 40's upward, cnntinw's in a less cavour-
able position than water; but there is a somewhat im-
proved-demand for qualities adapted to the Bradford
market, giving rise to an advance of about id. per lb
upon the rates of a fortnight go. The hover makes of
40.tach shirtings are still in r,quest, and anoth.r 31
pee piece is aided, at least nominally, to that which thety
gained in price last week. Toe demand tore ooduhe
ties of 7-B,h and 9.Bth printing cloths impts to e
a still gradually hardening tendency in price. Ochs
goods are unchanged in value.
ROCHDALE, MONDA.Y.—The flannel market remains
dull and inactive, as is generally the case at this time of
the year. This last week a small manufacturer, whose
liabilities are said to be between 2,0001. and 3,000/., haN
called his creditors together, and has L,ffir,-..1 to pay them
15s, in the
pound by three instalments. The wool mar-
ket is flat, with no change in prices.
MACCLESFIELD, TIIESDAY.—We have to report an
improved feding in the Macclesfield trade generally, al-
though as yet the business done amongst manufacturers
has not been on a large scale; thus may to in some
measure accounted for by the smallness of stocks,
which have not been run to so low an ebb for
some years past. There is decidedly a better demand
for thrown silks, unaccompanied as yet with any
advance from the late depressed rates ; but it is
felt that trio strong position maintained in the
market for raw silks must eventually have this ten-
dency, when the stocks now on the market (which are
comparatively light) are worked off. Raw Silk—Con-
siderable business has been done the last few days in
Chinas; about 700 bales, chiefly of the middling qua-
lities, have changed hands. The quality of the new
crop now arriving is inferior to last year's silk. The
market is reported firmer for both Chinas and Italians.
In Bengal silk the transactions have been limited for
filature qualities: the commoner descriptions are more
inquired for.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—Fancy goods have attracted
very little attention in our piece hall to-day, except a
few job lots; and the only articles asked for were last-
legs of low quality; but the prices offered are not such
as to encourage their manufacture. In the yarn market
there are indications of increasing confidence, and the
aspect of things is more cheering—or perhaps less
gloomy—than it was. The upward tendency of the raw
material, and the reduction of stocks, have had the effect
of inducing a somewhat healthier tone; though we can-
not note any advance with quotations. Wool is chang-
ing hands rather more freely, at slightly improved rates;
but the staplers are unable to replace their stocks, as the
growers are asking a still larger advance.
HUDDERSFIELD, TuESDA.4.—There has not been much
doing, either in the cloth hall to-day or in the warehouses
during the week; indeed, on the whole, less has been
done. It is not expected that much will be done until
Christmas gets turned, when hopes are held out of a
good trade on the commencement of the new year.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.— Market quiet to-day ; though
there has been rather more doing in the woollen trade
generalLy since last report. Prices firm, and stocks keep
in modefste compass.

Cotton Yarn—A considerable amount of business has
been transacted, and prices have further fallen on both

anxiety shown by holders to realize on descriptions up-
