THE WEATHER AND THE PARKS.

The streets of the metropolis, as well as-the Royal
Parks and suburban !districts, presented yesterday a
most extraordinary appearance. Not fewer than 11
persons were taken during the day to the various Lon-
don hospitals, some of whom had received serious
injury by slipping,
not on, the ice on the ornamental
waters, but upon that on the various public paths.
The whole of the streets in and star the metropolis
were covered with a surface of ice resembling glass.
This proved such an unsound footing for horses that the
reporter, during a period of 23 minutes, noticed no less
than 13 horses, drawing gentlemen's carriages, fall near
the Apaley-gate in Hyde-park. Omnibuses sins

VI R. HOWARD, surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-
street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTI-
.
ICIAL TEETH Axed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
erfectly resemble the nataral teeth as not to be distinguished from
he original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
lecay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
4uaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and useful in mastication.--52, Fleet-street. At

13LAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS,
Price Is. IM. and 2s. 9d. per box.

This preparation is one of the benefits. which the science of modern
chemistry has conferred upon mankind ; for during the first twenty
years of the present century to speak of a cure for the Gout was Con-
sidered a romance ; but now the efficacy and safety of this medicine
is so fully demonstrated by unsolicited testimonials from persons in
every rank of life that public opinion proclaims this as one of the
most important discoveries of the present age.
Further proof of the great efficacy of BLAIR'S GuCIT and RHEI7-
MATIC PILLS, forwarded by Mr. Reinhardt, Chemist, Hall:—
Sir, -- Enclosed is a testimonial from a customer of mine, who is
e-ell known about here ;he speaks in the highest terms of Blair's
Gout and Rheumatic Pills, and would be glad to give information to
anybody.

" To Mr. Reinhardt, 22 Market-place, Hull.
"December4th, 1855.
"Dear have been afflicted with rheumatism for 12 years,
during which time 1 have tried almost everything, both internally
and externally, but could not obtain any permanent relief. A short
time ago I purchased a Is. 9d. box of Blaies Pills of you, and before
had taken the whole of them I was more free from pain than I had
been for the last dozen years. You will please let me have another
box, as I mean to keep them by me in case I should again require
them, and oblige,
Dear Sir, yours obediently,

LITERATU'iI

The Business Mart's Note Book for the Year 1856.
Edinburgh ; ;fames Hogg.
In addition to a calendar and diary, there will
be found in this well got-up pocket companion an
invaluable repository of facts and statistics neces-
sary to be known by men of business, together
with a variety of information calculated to be more
or less useful to every one interested in the ope-
rations of commerce, and the progress of industry
and enterprise both at home and abroad. Any-
thing more comprehensive and complete in its way
we do not remember to have seen, its contents
being rather the well-digested essence of many
books, reports, 47:e., than such as might reason-
ably be anticipated in one. To give the reader a
notion of their variety, we may mention that the
index occupies ten pages. Under such circumstances,
it were absurd to attempt to furnish a digest ; all we
shall do, therefore, after stating that the work is
one which no intelligent member of the mercantile
community, or individual connected with the
agricultural, the shipping, or the trading interest,
will fail to recognise as a welcome boon, is to no-
tice a few of its contents, which have more parti-
cularly caught our eye ; and, first, we must notice
the maps, excellent in their way, and five in num-
ber. These consist of, Ist, A coloured map of all
the telegraphic lines of Europe. 2d. A statistical
map of England and Wales, in colour, with des zip.
tive letterpress. 3d. .A
like map of Scotland and
Ireland, in both of which the rank of each county
in area of square miles, in gross population and
density of population, is represented by figures.
4. A like statistical map of the United States, the
rank of each State, instead of county, being repre-
sented as above. fith. A valuable distance map of
ocean routes. The tables of population, exports,
imports, &c., of the British Colonies, with other infor-
mation respecting them, could not be overlooked;
nor the " statistical notices of the Governments of
the world," including their expenditure and debts,
the extent and organisation of their military and
naval forces, dr.c. (as gathered and translated from
the " Almanack de Gotha "), and the tables showing
"how Prussia profits by the war." The statistics
of international electric telegraph communication
(in which are shown the stations in England and
Scotland, and the hours when open), of railways
(dividends and all), of gas companies (incorporated.
by Act of Parliament, showing the rates of cubic
feet, the amount of paid-up capital, the rate of last
dividend, and the price of coal in their vicinity)—
none of these could escape observation any more
than the inch measure and the calendar by which
the date of the first day of the month is discovered
on the back, and the metallic circle inside, which
so admirably serves as a calendar, and, if pre-
served, will do so for the current half century.
But jam sttis. We have said enough to give one'
business and our political readers a longing for
the book, which they will do well to gratify.

ACCIDENT TO TUE EARL JERMYN.—We (Bury and
Norwich Post) regret to learn that our much-respected
representative, the Earl Jermyn, is at present suffering
some inconvenience from a shot which struck his lord-
ship while out shooting in Hampshire on the Thursday
after Christmas-day, and which penetrated just above
the right eyebrow. The shot entered with some force,
and the wound covered his lordship's face with blood at
the time, but without, we are assured, causing much
pain. The shot has not yet been extracted.

CORONERS AND JURIES.

On Wednesday a coroner's inquest was held at the
Wellington Quay, Hear Newcastle-on-Tyne, on the body
of T. Phillips, a blacksmith. It appeared that for the pur-
pose of carrying clay, &c., to the Hay Hole Docks, now
being formed, the contractor had laid down a temporary
inelinsoemraeildwisatya,nwcheiciht
wasto protected up a poi t obny
a paling of an oldf, butoot p
not at h.
For
where deceased met his death. From the clay, &c., fall-
ing from the waggons, the remaining part of the foot-
path was in a very dirty state, so that the numerous
workmen from .the ship yards in the neighbourhood fre-
quently walked on the line in preference to the foot-
path, when they were going home of an evening. On
the 18th of December deceased, while thus walking on
the line, was killed by some ballast waggons, which that
evening were running later than u,ual.
The coroner (Stephen Reed, Esq.) recommended the jury
to return an open verdict, which would leave it free to the
widow to proceed under Lord Campell's Act against the
contractor, and also enable an indictment for nuisance to
be preferred, on account of the encroachment on the foot-
path. A very strong feeling, however, was expressed on
these points by the jury, who contended that the de-
ceased had as much right on the path as the contractor,
and ultimately they returned a verdict of " Homicide,
caused by the wilful neglect of the contractor in depriv-
ing the public of their ancient footpath." The coroner
refused to record the verdict, as being contrary to the
evidence. The jury, however, said they wore unanimous,
and they positively refused to give any other verdict.
Awifttherdwreawrdisrosommteh,estatiog they had.discharged their duty,
room.
The coroner said, as they had
not given a verdict which he could accept, he could not
allow their fees ; and added, that he should justify the
course he had taken before the county magistrates by
whom he was appointed.

EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT IN COVENT GARDEN
THEaTaE.—On Wednesday evening, during the perform-
ances of the Wizard of the North at Covent-garden
Theatre, a well-dressed man suddenly stood up in the
balcony of the boxes, havir.g a pistol in his hand, which
he appeared to be about to raise, when his arm was
seised by a gentleman who sat next to hint. An alter-
cation and scuffle ensued between several occupants of
the balcony and the individual who had behaved so.
vrangely, and great alarm and excitement were created.
in the theatre. The lunatic, for such be seemed, war
compelled to resign the pistol, and Mr. Anderson, tb e
lessee, caused him to be placed in the hand of the polif
who removed him from the theatre.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
heavily, but not lower than on Wednesday. The
sales were 6,000 bales, 1,000 for export and on
speculation, including 200 Pernam and Maranham,
6d. to 64d. ; 100 Bahia, 6d. to 614. ; 400 Egyp-
tian, 51d. to 7d. ; and 300 Surat, 3d. to W. per
lb. The Railway Share Market was steady, at a
slight advance on Wednesday.
The Colonial Produce Markets have continued
very inactive, and the prices of most of the princi-
pal staples have tended downwards. Sugar has
been taken in at public sales, holders being firm.
Coffee has realised steady prices, but the coloury
kinds of plantation have been 6d. cheaper. Tea
has ruled exceedingly quiet, and also rice. In
spices very little has been done, and pimento, cloves,
and mace have receded. Cocoa and cotton have
not attracted much attention. Cochineal is firm,
and tallow steady.
There has been little alteration this week in the
prices of American Securities. The following are
the current quotations, as given by Messrs. D.

LITERATURE.

The Business Mau's Note Book for the Year 1856.
Edinburgh : James Hogg.
In addition to a calendar and diary, there will
be found in this well got-up pocket companion an
invaluable repository of facts and statistics neces-
sary to be known by men of business, together
with a variety of information calculated to be more
or less useful to every one interested in the ope-
rations of commerce, and the progress of industry
and enterprise both at home and abroad. Any-
thing more comprehensive and complete in its way
we do not remember to have seen, its contents
being rather the well-digested essence of many
books, reports, &c., than such as might reason-
ably be anticipated in one. To give the reader a
notion of their variety, we may mention that the
index occupies ten pages. Under such circumstances,
it were absurd to attempt to furnish a digest ; all we
shall do, therefore, after stating that the work is
one which no intelligent member of the mercantile
community, or individual connected with the
agricultural, the shipping, or the trading interest,
will fail to recognise as a welcome boon, is to no-
tice a few of its contents, which have more parti-
cularly caught our eye ; and, first, we must notice
the maps, excellent in their way, and five in num-
ber. These consist of, Ist, A coloured map of all
the telegraphic lines of Europe. 2d. A statistical
map of England and Wales, in colour, with descrip-
tive letterpress. 3d. A like map of Scotland and
Ireland, in both of which the rank of each county
in area of square miles, in gross population and
density of population, is represented by figures.
4. A I;ke statistical map of the United States, the
rank of each State, instead of county, being repre-
sented as above. sth. A valuable distance map of
ocean routes. The tables of population, exports,
imports, &c., of the British Colonies, with other infor-
mation respecting them, could not be overlooked;
nor the " statistical notices of the Governments of
the world," including their expenditure and debts,
the extent and organisation of their military and
naval forces, &c. (as gathered and translated from
the " Almanack de Gotha "), and the tables showing
" how Prussia profits by the war." The statistics
of international electric telegraph communication
(in which are shown the stations in England and
Scotland, and the hours when open), of railways
(dividends and all), of gas companies (incorporated
by Act of Parliament, showing the rates of cubic
feet, the amount of paid-up capital, the rate of last
dividend, and the price of coal in their vicinity)---
none of these could escape observation any more
than the inch measure and the calendar by which
the date of the first day of the month is discovered
on the back, and the metallic circle inside, which
so admirably serves as a calendar, and, if pre-
served, will do so for the current half century.
But jam, stns. We have said enough to give our
business and our political readers a longing for
the book, which they will do well to gratify.
London, England, 1856-01-11

CORONERS AND JURIES.

On Wednesday a coroner's inquest was held at the
Wellington Quay, near Newcastle-on-Tyne, on the body
of T. Phillips, a blacksmith. It appeared that for the pur-
pose of carrying clay, &c., to the Hay Hole Docks, now
being formed, the contractor had laid down a temporary
incline railway, which took up a portion of an old footpatb.
For some distance it was protected by a paling, but not
where deceased met his death. From the clay, &c., fall-
ing from the waggons, the remaining part of the foot-
path was in a very dirty state, so that the numerous
workmen from lthe ship yards in the neighbourhood fro.
quently walked on the line in preference to tke foot-
path, when they were going home of an evening. On
the 18th of December deceased, while thus walking on
the line, was killed by some ballast waggons, which that
evening were running later than usual.
The coroner (Stephen Reed, Esq.) recommended the jury
to return an open verdict, which would leave it free to the
widow to proceed under Lord Campell's Act against the
contractor, and also enable an indictment for nuisance to
be preferred, en account of the encroachment on the foot-
path. A very strong feeling, however, was expressed on
these points by the jury, who contended that the de-
ceased had as much right on the path as the contractor,
and ultimately they returned a verdict of " Homicide,
ing causedthe by
publicth e
ofwilfulther ancient neglect
t c o n
path.tra t oTr
hien
coroner
refused to record the verdict, as being contrary to the
evidence. The jury, however, said they were unanimous,
and they positively refused to give any other verdict.

not given a verdict which he could accept, be could not

course he had taken before the county magistrate, by
whom he was appointed.

EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT IN COVENT GARDEN
THEATRE,—On Wednesday evening, during the perform-
ances of the Wizard of the North at Covent•garden
Theatre, a well-dressed luau suddenly stood up in the
balcony of the boxes, having a pistol in his hand, which
he appeared to be about to raise, when his sem was
seized by a gentleman who tat next to his. in alter-
cation and scuffle ensued between several occupants of
the balcony and the individual who had behaved so
strangely, and great alarm and excitement were created
in the theatre. The lunatic, for such he seemed, was
compelled to resign the pistol, and Mr. Anderson, the
lessee, caused him to be placed in the hand of the polio.,
who removed him from the theatre.

THE SPECTATOR.

The monthly supplement published by our
weekly contemporary the Spectator, for the pre-
sent January, contains some extremely valuable
statistical information, iu addition to a considerable
portion of interesting literary criticism. The
"Statistics of Money, Produce, Manufactures, and
Trade" for 1855 are, under each head, presented
with great accuracy and completeness, and will be
found a safe and serviceable compendium of refe-
rence upon many prominent points of monetary
and commercial importance. The literary depart-
ment is principally devoted to a review of " Napo-
leon's Confidential Correspondence with his Brother
Joseph," the former King of Spain, which has been
recently published by Murray—a work of which
the reviewer well observes : "To the student of
history or of human character it is full of deep in-
terest—to the politician, and still more to the
military man, it is a hook of profound instruction
—to the politician, of what in a great measure to
avoid—to the soldier, of what to master till the
principles enunciated become a portion of his
mind." Bohn's edition of the works of Addison ;
`Wilberforce's " Brazil ; " Ernest Jones's new
volume of poetry, " The Emperor's Vigil, and the
'Waves and the War;" and "Ferguson's Illustrated
Handbook of Architecture," are likewise handled
in an acute and impartial spirit ; whilst seve-
ral works of minor - note; and the last batch of
periodicals, have their due share of notice. Now
that Parliament is almost on the eve of reassembling,
the "Spectator Supplement" will, for Some time
to come, derive additional importance and value
front its monthly summary of the debates in both
Houses of the Legislature. This feature must of
itself render it a most welcome companion to the
general reader.

THIRD COURT.

(Before Mr. Justice Crowder.)
Charles Butler, 30, musician, and Sarah Butler, 2S,
his wile, were indicted for the manslaughter of EtutO
Butler, their child.
Mr. Carteen prosecuted, and Mr. Sleigh defended.
The facts of this case have very recently appeared'
The parties lived in Bermondsey-street, and the child'
which was between two and three years old, had bee°
much neglected and ill-treated, especially by the wohasg.
The prisoners were in a most abject state of poverty, tl3i
man being a street musician.
The medical evidence proved the child to have suffered
much from disease and want, but did not clearly °stabil"'
death to have resulted from any specific act of neglect et
violence.

The jury acquitted the prisoners.
Everett Carlton, an old man, nearly 70 years of ags►
surrendered to take his tr.al for manslaughter.
The prisoner had bee❑ committed upon the coroner%
warrant, and had, it appeared, unskilfully set a copper'
the result of which was that a fire took place, causing °
loss of life.
He was acquitted.
