win;

There is one thing in favour of secession which
most of us overlooked at first. This was quite
natural, since the threateners of secession complained
of one thing only—the election, of a Republican
President. That. was to be quite sufficient to
justify the South in severing its connection with
the North; it would be a sectional and hostile elec-
tion, and the section which was vanquished had
full right to withdraw from union with its
conqueror. Soon, however, both Mr. DOYGLASS,
LINCOLN'S opponent, and the President, showed
that it was impossible to justify separation from
the Confederacy on account of a perfectly consti-
tutional election ; and the Disunionists were
reminded that some overt act on the part of Mr,
LINCOLN and his government, was in all reason
necessary to justify so violent a measure. Then,
the "Personal Liberty Laws" of some of the
Northern States were alleged, as insults
demanding some violent remedy. Yet these
laws, very singularly, were denounced
most by just those States whose slaves
could not run away except through other
Slave States ; plainly showing that they, like
Mr. LINCOLN'S election, were only a pretext. These
laws, moreover, did little beyond preventing the
abuse, against freemen, of the infamous fugitive
slave law. The truth then came out, that the
Southern States see at last that they have lost all
their trade and commerce, or nearly all, to the
North, and they think that they may, by a bold
stroke, at once bring back their commerce and
avenge themselves for the first great Presidential
defeat they have ever known.
Most of our readers are probably hardly aware of
the enormous difference between the commerce of
the Slave and Free States; and as the American
Federal revenue, with the exception of land sales,
is nearly all derived from customs, the contributions
of each to the expense of the general Government
are in the proportion of the customs. In the year
1858 the Free States entered goods to the amount
of 249,446,139 dollars; the Slave States, the same
year, entered but 33,167,011 dollars' worth of
imports. For the year 1855, Mr. ROWAN HELPER
gives the following figures from official sources :
Tonnage. Exports. Imports.
Free States .... 4,252,615 167,520,693 .. 236,847,810
Slave States.... 855,517 107,480,65 S 24,536,528
In the Post-office the discrepancy is on the
same scale. For the year 1855. the total receipts,
in the Free States, were 6,390,238 dollars ; in the
Slave States, 2,220,043 dollars. While the cost of
transmission was actually nearly equal, being,
in the Free States, 2,608,295 dollars; and in the
South, 2,385,953 dollars—showing to what an
extent the North provides the South with putal
advantages. Whatever advantages the South
derives from the Federal Government, it has at
least hitherto had them uncommonly cheap. In
1854, for instance, the customs of the States
amounted to about sixty-four millions of dollars, of
which the Southern States contributed only about
five millions!! At the present time Mr. EDGE
says they contribute only about three and a half
millions, out of about fifty millions dollars to the
State Customs.

Let our readers not skip these few figures.
They speak marvels for the deteriorating effect of
slavery on commerce. Until so lately as 1816 the
Slave States took the lead in imports less a million
of dollars ; and it must be galling beyond endur-
ance to the public men to see themselves distanced
so enormously by the Free States in commerce,
and its wealth diffusing blessings, as in everything
else. It is remarkable that when in 1833 South
Carolina, and the South generally, were in favour
of " nullification", General JACKSON made the
shrewd observation that " the tariff was only
a pretext, and disunion and a southern
confederacy the real object—that the next
pretext would be the negro or slavery
question." The prediction seems to be verified.
The same State takes the lead ; she boldly comes
out now with the summons to all the Slave
States to join her in a Southern Confederacy,
and she is again also proclaiming aloud that the
South must regain its lost commercial position,
and that Charleston is to become the New York
of the South. In one respect the South has,
commercially, heavy ground of complaint against
the North—the federal tariff is a' protectionist,
not simply a revenuo tariff. The South has always
seen clearly that free trade is its interest. The
Northern States of America are as bad as France
has been for their fear of free commerce. They
have compelled the South to purchase their dear
manufactures, when by a merely revenue tariff
they might have raised a much larger sum for
federal purposes. The Americans, the Northern
States especially, are half a century behind Eng-
lend in commercial freedom.
There seems to be little doubt then that com-
mercial aspirations are very much the life and
strength of the Secession cry. The Presidential
defeat is, no doubt‘, deeply felt and resented, bat
the more wide-awake politicians of the South
think that all this mortification and anger may
be turned to another account. They are anxious,
therefore, for precipitation. The Union party in
the Southern States, and it is much stronger
than it dare avow itself to be, invents
reasons for delay. This the Separatists
fear above all things. Time might soon
show that Northern ascendancy was, after all,
not so bad to bear, as it is mortifying to Southern
vanity, and time and reflection would certainly
show that commerce could not be created at
will. Capital would not risk itself in a slaye
state, and a slave state could neither command
capital nor turn the present coun7,7; or trifle at its
pleasure. No Northern Confederation created a
New York or a Boston, and no Southern Confedera-
tion could turn a Charleston into a second New
York. Men whose interests were at stake would
s)an perceive this, and the political heats witild

soon cool down when once it was seen that Dollars
warp in dangPr,

Somehow, we can hardly bring ourselves to I
believe that the Union is in permanent danger.
A foolish vote, and professed separation, there may
be in one State or in several, but it remains to be
seen by what overt acts-effect would be given to the
vote. It is doubtful whether a State would go so
far as refusal to pay federal custom, or as claim-
ing the federal property lying in the State, and
doubtful whether the seceders would like the bur-
den of paying for their own post-office, and the
heavy charge of an independent Government.
They might, perhaps, keep for some time out of
foreign wars, and need no army on that account,
but—their worst enemy will be in their
own bosom. A brutally oppressed population
equalling themselves in numbers in some
States are a foe before which they even
now continually quail, which compels them in
many places to sleep as it were on their arms, and
which might, any day, kindled by some unthought
of spark, prove a conflagration which should
sweep the whole land, and consume the oppressor.
Indeed President BUCHANAN would have us believe
that this fear haunts even now the hearth of
every matron. And so it ought. Every slave-
holding nation richly deserves to live in fear. But
what is the use of these men, trembling with a
guilty conscience before their own victims, talk-
ing of secession—a secession sooner or later to
servile war—a certain secession to increased diffi-
culties and unbearable responsibilities. A good
deal of mad talking, probably a few mad votes,
and finally "thinking better of it," seems, there-
fore, to us, the most likely result of the present
commotion in the United States, though under
such peculiar circumstances, no one could ven-
ture on a " political prophecy."

The glorious frosty weather of the last few days
has come to enhance—for the wealthy and well-to-
do at least—the seasonable enjoyments of Christ-
mas. Ice three inches and a half in thickness
tempted yesterday 10,000 people at a time to dis-
port themselves, either on skates or shoe leather,
on the ice in Regent's•park, and also on the Serpen-
tine. The Long Water in Kensington Gardens,
again, had some 6,000 skaters and pedes-
trians on its frozen surface together. ' The
Round Pond within view of the old Palace, 2,000
others; the ornamental pool in St, James's-park,
4,000 others. The more ardent among the lovers
of this graceful and athletic wintry exercise, ap-
peared to be making a day of it in earnest, with,
as a matter of course, all the customary conse-
quences—immersions, falls on the ice, broken heads,
broken limbs, and more or less severe contu-
sions. They sent contingents, moreover, to
all the other frozen sheets of water in the
suburbs of London and its immediate neigh-
bourhood, among other places to the Hamp-
stead Ponds, to the ponds on Clapham-common, to
the ice in Victoria-park, and at the Crystal Palace
out at Sydenham. The professional men, confined
in their offices all day, enjoying their sport
after nightfall by the light of flambeaux and
by that also of coloured Bengal fires rendering the
snowy scene more than ever picturesque. It will
be well -while the bright side of the picture is
brought thus vividly before the public view, it will
be especially well and seasonable to remember the
other, the dark side also—resulting from weather
that yesterday morning brought the thermometer
down to 27, degrees, and caused the barometer to
be indexed during the day at 29.54, with
a wind keenly north easterly. What is one man's
meat, says the proverb, is 'another man's poison ;
.what is life to us, is death to you. A season like
this the delight of the sliders and skaters—is the
severest 'part of the whole twelvemonth for the
humbler sections of the community, and, conse-
quently, the time of all others when the multiplied
wants of the poor, put to the sharpest test the capa-
bilities and resources of even the most thriving of
our great charitable institutions.

What's in a name ? Much! Very much indeed.
The Warrior, clad in armour, is to be launched
on Saturday, said a gentleman at a
party: " I wonder," said another, " what
will they call the great iron ship building at
Chatham ? The Wonderful, of course, exclaimed a
third. " Not so," said a lady, "it should be called
THE IRON DUKE!" Bravo ! bravo !!" exclaimed
the Whole Party. For, rejoined the Lady, we
have had an Iren Duke on Land, and now we
ought to have one on the Water to keep him in
countenance." A general cheer saluted the forth-
coming IRON DUKE.

Letts's Almanack and Bills Due Book for 1861
has appeared some time since, and fugly sustains
its previous well established reputation. It com-
prises a very full analysis of the Treaty with
France, the Acts of last Session of Parliament—
London and Country Bankers—Tide Tables—in
short, everything that can interest the Commercial
Man as well as the Man of Business, and deserves
well of the Public support.

THE BISHOP or WORCESTER.—The new Bishop
of Worcester, Dr. Philpot, was first wrangler in 1829, the
present accomplished and scientific Duke of Devonshire
being second wrangler. The contest between the two was
very close, and a few days after the duke (then Mr. Wm.
Cavendish) carried off the first Smith's prize, Mr. Philpot
being second prizeman. Dr. Philpot Is generally and
deservedly respected in Cambridge. He was Vice-Chan-
cellor on the occasion of the inauguration of Prince Albert
as Chancellor of the University, and on that occasion, a
on every other public appearance which he made, acquitted
himself to the entire satisfaction of the University. Dr.
Philpot is not in religious opinions a party man, and there
is, perhaps; no party in the country which will not consider
the appointment a good one.—Derbyshire Courier.

gOITTITAMPTON, Wednesday.—The screw steamer
Bremen, belonging to the North German Lloyd, Capt. H.
Wessels, will not leave this port for New York till Satur-
day, her departure having been delayed by the time occu-
pied in fitting her with a new screw.
WEST SUSSEX.—The election of a member of
Parliament for West Sussex, in the room of the Earl of
March, now Duke of Richmond, took place to-day in the
County-hall, in the city of Chichester. Major BaTttelot, a
Conservative, and member of one of the oldest families in
Sussex, was elected without opposition.

PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris
is about 11 per mule premium, and the short exchange on
London is 25.171 per sterling. On comparing these rates
with the English mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for
standard gold, it appears that gold is rather more than
1-10th per cent, dearer in Paris than London. By advices
from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 r er mark ; the short
exchange on London is 13.4 per £ sterling. Standard gold
at the English mint price is, therefore, about 2-10ths per
cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of
exchange at New York on London for bills at sixty days'
sight is 100 to 102 per cent., at which rate there is a profit
on sending gold to the United States.

CRYSTAL PALACE.—The nnmber of persons on
the different pieces of water was about 6,000, of which fully
half were congregated upon the lower lake. The ice was in
the firmest and most capital order, and not a single accident
occurred. The Humane Society have, however, sentdown
a body of mcr•_ in case of casualties.—One Shilling Day,

DEATH OF THE RECTOR OF LINCOLN COLLEGE.--
OXFORD, Dec. 26.—The Rev. James Thompson, V .D.,
'rector of Lincoln College, expired this afternoon at the
college lodgings, after a serious illness of six mont'As' dura-
tion, at about half•past ono. The rector was el_ected to the
headship by a majority of the fellows, after •a contest which
obtained certain notoriety in 1851, Prrvious to which he
held the rectory of Cublington, —ll7cks, to which he had
been preferred by his society, and, from which he was re-
called for that purpose. He 'proceeded to the degree of
8.A., 1823; M.A., 1826; 'B.D., 1833; and. D.D., 1852.
The patronage is in the gift of the fellows of the college.
Dr. Thompson was a firm and consistent Conservative.
A SOLDIER F:ILLED BY HIS COMRADE.—On the
night of Tuesdr.y last a shocking event occurred at the Hut
barracks, occupied by the Military Train Corps at the en-
, campment at Woolwich. It appears that some dispute
took place between John May, a private of the 2d battalion
of the corps, and a comrade named Charles Knight, the
latter accusing the former of keeping possession of a pipe
which belonged to him. May left the barracks, but was
pursued,by Knight, who attacked him in a savage manner,
and May fell heavily, receiving a fractured skull from con-
tact with a large stone. The sufferer was soon conveyed to
the hospital of the corps, where every attention was paid
him, but the injuries received were so extensive that he died
within two hours after admission. On hearing of his com-
rade's death, Knight ran away from the barracks, and,
although several pickets were sent in pursuit, he has not
yet been found. Information of the occurrence has been
sent to Mr. C. J: Carttar, coroner for West Kent, who will
hold an inquest on the.body.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—A seaman named Pat-
rick O'Brien, belonging to her Majesty's steamship Cum-
berland, is now an inmate of the Royal Marine Hospital,
Woolwich, having, it is feared, received fatal injuries from
a brutal and cowardly attack made upon him by four pri-
vates of the Woolwich division of Royal Marine Light In-
fantry. It appears that on the afternoon of Christmas-
day O'Brien, who had leave of absence from his ship, now
at Sheerness, fell in with the Marines at Woolwich, and,
after treating them at several publichouses, proceeded to
an eating house where the party had supper, for which
O'Brien paid 2s. 6d. each. After leaving this house the
Marines induced O'Brien to accompany them to a dark
alley, leading from High-street, where they knocked him
down, and kicked him so severely that the front portion of
his skull was beaten completely in. The sufferer was found
by the police lying apparently dead in a pool of blood,
having been robbed of his money and watch. A Marine
named John Jones was yesterday apprehended at the bar-
racks on a charge of being concerned in the outrage, and
the police are actively in pursuit of the other offenders.
THE GRAND DISTRIBUTION OF TWELFTH CAKES.
—Louis Dethier appeared at Bow-street Police Court to
answer a summons issued against him at the instance of
the Government, for unlawfully keeping an office in the
Hanover-Square-rooms "to exercise, keep open, show, and
expose to be played, drawn, and thrown at by lots, num-
bers, and figures, and by other ways, contrivances, and
devices, a lottery not authorised by Act of Parlia-
ment, &c." A long examination took place, the magis-
trate advising Mr. Dethier to return the money he
had received, and not to proceed any further with the
illegal " distribution," Mr. Sleigh, the barrister, said
thitt could not be done, as the subscriptions had been in-
vested in plums and sugar for the cakes. Mr. Selfe said
the " distribution" would not be allowed to be proceeded
with. Mr. Dethier said he really did not know what to do.
The magistrate said he would give him time to make up
his mind, and accordingly adjourned the further hearing
of the summons; but, in the event of the lottery being
proceeded with during the time the case remained uncle.
tided, he would most certainly put the act into full opera-
tion against Mr. Dethier, and the effect of that would be
that he would be sent to prison without the option of a
fine.

EMIGRATION TO THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE AND
AU*TILILIA.—The ship Royal Albert, of 663 tons, Captain
Welch, sailed from Southampton en Christmas-day for
Table Bay, .with free emigrants, selected from the agricul-
tural and artisan classes by the Hon. William Field. They
are under the charge of Surgeon-Superintendent Adair, and
comprises 34 married couples, 59 single men, 57 single
women, 36 children, and four infants ; being a total of 224
souls, equal to 202 statute adults. The emigration to the
Cape at the colonial expense, under the Local Act of 1857,
now amounts to 7,838 souls. The Royal Albert is fitted
with a sea-water-distilling and cooking apparatus patented
by Mr. Gravely, of the firm of Winchester and Co., of
London. This is a very valuable invention, as it affords
ample means for cooking and bread baking for the whole of
the passengers on board, while at the same time it
produces most excellent fresh water, and in sufficient quan-
tity for the daily consumption of all the people on board,
with a consumption of fuel but little in excess of an ordi-
nary passenger-cooking range. It is also fitted with a steam
whistle, useful as a fog signal. The ship Ascendant, 517
tons, Capt. Hopper, also sailed on Christmas-day from
Southampton, with 215 Government emigrants, equal to
199 statute adults, for Melbourne, in charge of Surgeon-
Superintendent J. O'Brien. These emigrants comprise 20
married couplcP, 3 single men, 141 single women, 24 chil-
dren, and 4 infants—of whom 100 are English, 47 Scotch,
and 68 Irish.

THE NEW AMERICAN PRESIDENT.—Abraham
Lincoln is a gaunt giant more than six feet high, strong
and long-limbed. He walks slow, axd, like many thought-
ful men (Wordsworth and Napoleon, for example), keeps
his head inclined forward and downward. His hair is wiry
black, his eyes are dark-grey; his smile is frank, sincere,
and winning. Like most American gentlemen, he is loose
and careless in dress, turns down his flapping white collars,
and wears habitually what we consider evening dress. His
head is massive, his brow full and wide, his nose largo and
fleshy, his mouth coarse and full, his eyes are sunken, his
bronzed face is thin, and drawn down into strong csrded
lines, that disclose the machinery Lthat moves the broad
jaw. This great leader of the Republican party—this
Abolitionist—this terror of the Democrats--this honest old
lawyer, with a face half Roman, half Indian, so wasted by
climate, so scarred by a life's struggles, was born in 1809,
in Kentucky. His grandfather, who came from Virginia,
was killed by the Indians. His father died young, leaving
a widow and several children. - They removed to Indiana,
Abe being at that time only six years old. Poor, and
struggling, his mother could only afford him some eight
months' rough schooling ; and in the clearings of that
new, unsettled country, the healthy stripling went to work
to hew hickory and gum trees, to grapple with remonstrat-
ing bears, and to look out for the too frequent rattlesnake.
Tall, strong, lithe, and smiling, Abe toiled on as farm-
labourer, mule-driver, sheep-feeder, deer-killer, wood-
cutter, and, lastly, as boatman on the waters of the Wa- .
bash and the Mississippi.—Onee a Week.
ENGLISH BIRDS IN AUSTRALIA.—The English
birds at the botanic gardens are now all in a bustle. They
stem perfectly awake to the character of the season. The
little warblers are busy nest-building, and in performing all
the other tender offices which mark their proceedings at
spring time. The larks are already multiplying, and the
thrushes have nests both in the aviary and in the open air.
The starlings and blackbirds which were brought out by
the Lincolnshire and the Essex occupy a building in
the Botanic Gardens reserve which is usually devoted, in
the winter, to the accommoaation of the alpacas and other
quadrupeds. Here they will remain until their plumage—
lost or disordered on the voyage—is restored, when they
will be removed to the aviary, and thence to the open air. A
similar house holds a ntundibejrapoafnetsheruspshizedsio eethtartas lrewneiseth-
building in the orang© m
ate placed there. In the aviary the same interesting pro-
cess is going on. There the goldfinch, the linnet, and the
Java sparrow have nests, as well as the thrush and the
quail—due care, however, being taken for the separation of
the peaceable from the pugnacious birds, The pheasants
are engaged in egg laying, and for the work of incubation
the assistance of some barren fowls has been secured. The
whole of the arrangements for the preservation of the
birds which have been sent from England, and the propa-
gation here of the feathered tribes of the old country—
thanks to the indefatigable Dr. Mueller—are as complete
as can be desired. The fish which arrived by the Lincoln- •
shirc—tanch, dace, and minnow—have been deposited in
the tank of the Zoological Gardens, and appear to be '
thriviPg admirably. By means of pipe communication with
the Yarra the fish are constantly supplied with fresh water,
and appear to be as well off as in their native streams. A
number of the pheasants, blackbirds, thrushes, and larks '
n'ePivr,A from England have been set free in the islands of
Western Port, and no doubt they are fairly established i
there,—elle/boisene 4rgus.

AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna, dated Dec. 24, says :—SO
short a time has elapsed since the publication of
M. Von Schmerling's circular to the Stadtliolders,
that I am not able to say what impression it has
produced on the nation at large, but it is evident
that the inhabitants of this city are, on the whole,
well pleased with it. The professional politicians
in Vienna are not blind to the shortcomings of the
Ministerial programme, but they take the will. for
the deed, as they are aware that M. Von Sehmer.
ling had no choice but to leave certain matters of
high importance to be dealt with by the Reichsrath,
which, if I am rightly informed, will in future
consist of 300 members, who will be duly elected
by the different Provincial Diets. In one part
of the circular it is the question of a common re-
presentation of the empire (genzeinsanze Reichsysrt'
razing), but the language used is so vague that it is
impossible positively to say what is meant. It i$
however, probable, that the Government believes
compromise may be effected with Hungary, and
that the inhabitants of that country will agree to
" common representation of the empire." In the
course of a few days several patent laws of import-
ance will be published, and among others the lavt
for the regulation of the affairs of the Protestant
Church in the Slavo-German provinces of the
empire.

According to a person who has just returned froul
the Tyrol, the discontent of the inhabitants of that
province is exceedingly great. Count Recbberg
still maintains that the Tyrolese, with the exception
of a few brawlers in Innspruck and Botzen are

perfectly content with their lot, but he is grievously
mistaken. The inhabitants of all the districts in
the Tyrol are very discontented, but the people Of
Botzen, which is an important town, are more out
of temper than their neighbours, because Colonel
von Weckbecker not long since treated them in
such a strange way that the magistracy deemed it
advisable to inquire whether the place was in a state
of siege. After "..Nl. von. Weckbecker had menaced
the citizens of Matzen he probably repented him of
what he had done, for he wrote to a nobleman who
has great influence in the place, and requested hint
to call on him. The written reply of M. von G--"
was, that if the Colonel wished to see him be

are dissatisfies]. with their Stadtholder, and openly
express a ho pe that he will soon be removed fronl
his post. The Weis Anzeiyer calls the atten'
tion of M. -von Schmerling to the following
political evils :—" 1. The liberty of the sub'
ject is not guaranteed. 2. The citizens ao
not protected against arbitrary domiciliary visits
on the part o' the police. 3. The equality of the
different confessions has not been proclaimed. 4'
The liberty of the press exists by sufferance only.
5. The lieges are not allowed to educate their children
as they please. 6. The rights of association and
petition are denied to the people. 7. There is nu
trial by jury. 8. The judges of the land are inade"
quately paid, snd are liable to be dismissed, and
.are subjected to secret surveillance like suspected
vagabonds. 9. &Ilene° is in fetters.
From time to time there are disturbances in Ilinv

a few weeks ago.. It cannot, however, be doubted

fact that large ii!epots of arms have recently been
formed in the Deal übian Principalities, and it is n°°(
acknowledged' fit, Constantinople that three Sat'

" watchfulness" of the Turkish authorities. 111. e
two ships.len which an embargo was laid svl'1

Genoa. The 'tame of Count Szechen is nevetr
heard in Hung ary, and B aron Vay is sadly eu
.
of favour with tail fellow-countrymen. A gentle'
man, who ten days ago travelled in the same traw
from Pesth to Vienna with the Court Chancellor'
tells me that smile persons standing in the statloo
at Presburg poi noted at Baron Vay, and called 111n1,
a " traitor to hi.; country." The Chanc-211or has a°
witted blunder' a but it is perfectly absurd to denV
that he is a goat!. patriot. Attempts are con tinuallf,
made to levy the., taxes in the way of execution, hnis
they fail, as tE.e. ce are no buyers when the gee°

TIIE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 27, 1860.

i'l-IIRi) EI)ITION.

SUN OFFICE,• Six o'clock.

TATTERSALES-(THIS EVENING).

The attendance at Tattersall's this afternoon was ver
small, and the business transacted was of so trifling im-
portance that the prices of the leading favourites may be
said to remain unaltered. Next week, however, it is ex-
pected that business will be resumed with great spirit:

POLICE IN7ELLIGENCE—(This Day).

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

BOXING DAY AND ITS RESULTS.—A large number of
cases, the usual result of Boxing Day, came before the
magistrate (Mr. Tyrwhitt) this morning, and where only
drunkeness was charged, the worthy magistrate disposed
of the cases by discharging the offenders—many of whom
pleaded the day in excuse, and bore marks of disfigurement
from fighting or falling about. In several cases the offenders
had further misconducted themselves by adding to the
lesser offence, that of assault on the'police. In one case in
which four men named Crawley, Ryan, Stagden, and
Henwell, and a female named Mary Cullen, were
charged with assaulting the police, and Cullen with biting
the constable, the woman said she could not have bitten
the officer, because she hadn't a tooth in her head.
The men were fined 10s., or 14 days each, aryl the woman
ss. or seven days.
The other cases of assault were disposed of by the inflic-
tion of fines commensurate with the gravity of the charges,
some of them being of a very serious nature.
PICKING A POCKET AT THE GBraeAN FAIR.—Ann Cook,
a middle-aged female, was charged by Tucker, of the C
division, with picking the pocket of a female named Harriet
Jeffreys of a needlecase, and, pleading distress, was re-
manded for a week.

THE WEATHER AND THE PARKS.

NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS.

Yesterday was another grand but at the same
time almost a fatal day to many persons who visited
the Serpentine in Hyde-park. Upwards of 10,000
persons were congregated there at one time, and
amongst the number were several members of the
Skating Club, and some of the non-commissioned
officers of the Coldstream and Scots Fusilier Guards.
The appeal ance of the latter mingling with the fair
sex, and taking parts in qnadrilles performed on
the ice, had a very gay effect. Several exciting
skating matches were gone through during the
day for sums of money, and at night fall lighted
flambeaux, and coloured fires were employed to con-
tinue the proceedings, and some scores of link
bearers were engaged in showing lights for the
skaters to pursue their evolutions. The ice in this
park is 32 inches in thickness, but owing to the
large number who went upon it eleven persons
were tripped and thrown down by the skaters and
their heads cut. They were taken to the Royal
Humane Society's receivin g-house, and their wounds
were dressed by Mr. Superintendent Williams and
Mr. Young the secretary. Mr. John Gormoday, of
32, Kennerton-street, broke through the ice, but
was rescued and taken to the receiving-house, where
he had a warm bath and stimulants, and was ena-
bled to return to his home.

The Long Water in Kensington-gardens. had
about 6,000 sliders and skaters upon the ice, but no
accidents occurred. _

gardens, about
At the Round Pond, Kensington.
2,000 persons amused themselves upon the ice, and
the banks were crowded with people drawn toge-
ther to witness the various evolutions. Serpents
and birds of nearly every description were cut out
most finely, especially by the ladies. A boy, whilst
standing on the ice, fell down, and had his leg
broken. He was taken to St. George's Hospital,
where he at present remains in a state of great
su:

ffering. -
In St. James's-park the number of sliders and
skaters was about 4,000, and several immersions
took place during the day. Amongst the most en-
dangered were Richard Bennett, of 9, Nag's-head-
court, City; Edwin Clarke, of 3, Tyler's-court,
Soho; Thomas Stand, of 9, Wilson's-court, Gray's-
inn-road ; James Thompson, of 44, Gloucester-
street, Queen-square; and John Mann, of 55,
Kingsland-road. They were all attended to by
Dr. M'Cann, of Parliament-street, and were enabled
to return home.

The Regent's-park had about 10,000 people upon
the ice, and several persons were seriously injured
by having their heads cut open by being thrown
down by the skaters. The worst accidents happened
to Mr. H. Cooper, of 15, Cuthbert-hall-park ; Mr.
Frost, oilman, of Lisson-street, Lisson-grove ; Mr.
James Wall, of 26, Weymouth-street, Portland-
place ; Mr. G. Read, of Kersall House, Manchester-
square; and Mr. G. Brough, of 47, Shoe-lane. The
thermometer, as registered by Negretti and Zam -
bra's patent glass, during Tuesday night was 27
deg. ; at nine yesterday morning it was at 27 deg;
and at six o'clock last night it stood at 30. The
barometer during the day indexed 29.54, and the
wind was north-east.

The ice in the Victoria-park, Crystal Palace,
Hampstead Ponds, Clapham-common, and other
suburbs was reported last night to be tolerably
secure, and great numbers went upon the frozen
surface ; but one gentleman had his head fractured
by falling on the ice in the Victoria-park.
