SIX COMPOSITIONS FROM THE LIFE
OF CHRIST. Drawn by F. R. Pickersgill.
Engraved by Dalziel.
" The Wise Men's Offering," " Christ Blessing
Little Children," "The Woman taken in Adultery,"
" Mary Anointing the Feet of our Saviour," "Christ's
Entry into Jerusalem," and " The Entombment," are
the subjects of these six engravings, the best of which
is the second—a very beautiful picture of the Saviour
laN ing his hands in blessing on the heads of little
children. The pictures are all of a large size, and
well executed, for the moderate price of one shilling.

REGISTERED LETTERS, &c.—The Postmaster-
General has issued the following important notice, which it
is to be hoped will be generally adopted by the public, with
the great facility it affords, for the transmitting small sums
at so low a charge by post. and the advantage of register-
ing their letters containing value As it is not safe to
transmit letters containing coin or articles of jewellery
through the Post-office, parties wishing to remit small sums
in cash are recommended to make use of the money-order-
office, when they will incur no hazard. Money-orders for
sums not excee- ing 51. are grante.l and paid by every post-
town in the Unittd Kingdom, and at the chief-office Al-
dersgate-street, near the General Post-office; the three
branch offices, Charing-cross, Old Cavendish-street, and the
Borough; and also by the principal receiving-houses within
the twelve mile circle. Those who may desire to remit
bank-notes or draughts, payable to bearer, may register the
letters on payment of a tee of ls., in addition to the pdstage.
In this case the safest way will be to cut the notes, Sze., in
halt, sending but one huh, if possible by two different posts.
In the case of bank-post bills and bank-notes being sent, the
numbers, dates, and amounts should be carefully taken.
Money-orders for any stun not exceeding 21. may be ob-
tained for 3d. each; and for any sum over 21., and not ex-
-51 , for 6d." If this regulation is complied with, it
be an advantage to the parties in the certain
edweeillidlvnienorg; (oflit y
their registered letters, but prevent the too fre-
quent disappointments is not receiving those letters contain-
ing money, in consequence of the enticement it gives to some
to open them and extract the contents.
We acknowledge our faults, in order to repair, by
sincerity, the hurt they do us in the opinion of others.—

THE LATE HAYWARD'S-HEATH BURGLARY.—
Something like a clue seems to have been discovered to this
affair. Last week as some men were digging sand near
River's Wood, close by the viaduct, they found three guns
' which appeared to have been theresome time,
a double barrel, has been owned by Mr. Pan-
Onen hid

and it is supposed that the others were the same that the
burglars were armed with. From what has come to light it
tie gg. pthorne , two of whom were appre-
hended and atterwards rescued in a desperate

Pocock,
affray, are the fellows who committed the burglary. It may
be fresh in the memory of many that Pocock was seriously
injured in the affray, and that the fellow who assisted at the
rescue wasufterwards apprehended in Surrey and committed
to Lewes gaol, where be is awaiting his trial. Mr. Penfold,
of Old Mill Farm, Cuckfield, has since identified one of the
guns as that stolen from his house.—Brighton Gazette.

sented respectively to the five coast-guard boatmen (who so
laudably exerted themselves at the late lamentable wreck of
the ship Edmond, at Kilkee, on the 19th of November) the

committee have also offered their best thanks to Richard

dreadful night.
The dividend declared at the meeting of the Com-
mercial Dock Company, held yesterday afternoon, was 2 per
cent. for the half-year, free from income-tax. The number
of vessels entering the docks had decreased to some extent,
compared with the corresponding period last year. The reso-
lutions passed at a previous mewing for authorising the di-
rectors to purchase the East Country Docks, and to apply to
Parliament tor pOWeris to enlarge and improve them, were
confirmed.
