TO ADMIRERS OF LIGHT CARRIAGES.
HART,

79, NEW BOND-STREET,
has introduces ono of the lightest four-wheeled Carriages
in London. The style is the T cart or Stanhope phaeton,
on an improved principle.
The peculiarity cf this carriage is, it has sufficient room
for four persons, if reqaired, and is 3 cwt. less than the
usual ones ; it has no perch, and can lock round in any
narrow lane. The wheels aro hickory, with steel tyres,
springs only one inch wide, and has Lone's patent steel-
coated iron axles, which have received so many testimo-
nials.

S. 11. wishes to remind the public it has been proved
many valuable horses are ruined by being overloaded with
a heavy carriage. It is a well-known fact that the intro-
duction of light carriages is only now in its infancy. One
is on view, and several to be seen building to order.
London, England, 1867-12-11

ueserying traces of unmuddied harmony in a part-song
°ll° day, he gave his two under-cellarruen faint hopes of
getting on towards something in course of time. An
anthem of Handers led to further encouragement from
him though ho objected that that great musician must
have been down in some of them foreign cellars pretty
much, for to go and say the same thing Sc many times
over; which, took it in any way you might, he considered
a certain sign of your having touk it in somehow. On a
third occasion, the public appearance of Mr. Jarvis with a
flute, and of en odd man with a violin, and the perform-
ce of a duet by the two, did so astonish him that, solely
his own impulse and motion, he became inspired
whit the words, " Aun Roar !" repeatedly pronouncing
them as if calling in a familiar manner for some lady who
had distinguished herself in the orchestra. But this was
his final testimony to the merits of his mates, for, the in-
strumental duet being performed at the first Wednesday
concert, and being presently followed by the voice of Mar-
guerite Obenreizer, he sat with his mouth wide open, en-
tranced, until she had finished ; when, rising in his place
With much solemnity, and prefacing what he was about to
13:3! with a bow that specially included Mr. Wilding in it,
8 delivered himself of the gratifying sentiment : " Arter
that'
ye may all on ye get to bed !" And ever afterwards
declined to render homage in any other words to the musi-
cal powers of the family.
„Thus began a separate personal acquaintance between
Jaarguerite Obenreizer and Joey Ladle. She laughed so
heartily at his compliment, and yet was so abashed by it,
011, at J°eY made bold to say to her, after the concert was
'el") he hoped he wasn't so muddled in his head as to have
Look
a liberty? She made him a gracious reply, and
"Y ducked in return.
The main charm, however, of "No Thoroughfare"
lies not in its incidental humour, but, on the con-
trary, in its curiously enthralling and pathetic in-

TIIE SHORTHAND WRITERS' ASSOCIATION.—On
Monday evening last Mr. Senior delivered a lecture at the
meeting of this society, held at Dick's Coffee-house, Fleet-
street, taking for his subject " The Reporters' Gallery."
With but a brief sketch of the labour that is performed in
the gallery, the greater part of his address was descrip-
tive of the general duties undertaken by reporters on the
metropolitan and provincial press, and was illustrated by
many anecdotes gathered during fifteen years' professiona
experience. Mr. Woods occupied the chair, and seconded
the vote of thanks to the lecturer which had been moved
by Mr. Pearson.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange ou London is 251. 15c. per El sterling.
On cimparing these rates with the English Mint price tf
I,s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold is about 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than in Lon-
don.

The oouree of exchange at New York on London for bill.
at 60 days' sight is about 1091 per cent. At this rate there
is no profit on the importation of gold from the United
States.

THE WESTERN FISHERY. —The Cornish pilchard
season is at an end ; the boats have had varied success
There have boon some largo catches of herrings on the
South Devon coast during the last few days. On Satur-
day upwards of 20 boatloads were taken out of a seine at
Dawlish and despatchod by rail, and a good supply was
left at home for the poor.

POLIO E INZELLIGENOE.--This Day.

MANSION-HOUSE.

George Wilson and Harriet George, man and wife, were
charged, the former with stealing a musical box, value
between and £7, the property of Messrs. Le Maitre and
Bergmen, 24, Cannon-street, and the latter with receiving
the same, knowing it to be stolen.
George Thalhausen, a porter, in the employment of the
prosecutors, said he knew the male prisoner as a customer,
and that he came to the warehouse yesterday about 5 in
the afternoon. He was shown upstairs, and purchased a
timepiece for 155., which was given to the witness to pack
up. He afterwards saw the male prisoner leave the shop
taking with him a brown ppmr parcel, which ho gave to
the female prisoner, who was waiting outside. He returned
and told witness that he cam n. for the clock and invoice,
and on biing asked whit was in the parcel, he denied
having taken it. Afterwards, however, he said if the wit-
ness came out with him he would got it from the woman.
He did so, and they want as far as Bread-street, and the
woman not being seen in the neighbourhood, the prisoner
asked him to let him go, and that he would find the
woman, who was his wife. He refused to do so, and
took him back to the warehouse, and sent for
a policeman, who took him in charge. Ile after=
wards accompanied the policeman to an address
in Vero-street, Clare-market, and ho then identified the
property which the woman had brought in.
From the evidence of the police-constable, it appeared
that the prisoner made the same statement that he had
done to the previous witness, but the invoice and a half-
penny were found in his inside coat pocket, and there were
52 duplicates found at his lodgings. Although he gave
the name of Wilson that was not his real name, and the

female prisoner had shown him the marriage certificate.
The prisoner said nothing in his defence, but he asserted
that his wife was quite innocent, a statement which she
reiterated.
Partridge, the gaolor, said that he believed the prisoner
had been before the court previously.
The Lord Mayor discharged the female prisoner, and
remanded the other. prisoner.
CAUTION TO BOYS SLIDING IN TILE STREETS.—A
young lad, named Workin, was charged with being
discovered sliding yesterday afternoon in Earl-street, Can-
non-street, with some other-boys. 1*
''The Lord Mayor
.fined the prisoner 55., and having
commented on the dangerous practice of sliding in the
street, said that the police had orders to take into custody
every person discovered so offending. -

VICTORIA moss:

(From the Gazette of last Evening.)
WAR-OFFICE, JAN. 4.

The Queen has been graciously pleased to signify her
intention to confer the decoration of the Victoria Cross on
the undermentioned private soldier, whose claim to the
same has been submitted for her Majesty's approval, for
his gallant conduct at the siege and capture of Tubabeco-
long, Gan'bia River, as recorded against his name, viz. :
Private Samuel Hodge, 4th West India Regiment—For
his bravery at the storming and capture of the stockaded
town of Tubabecolong, in the kingdom of Barra, River
Gambia, on the evening of the 80th of June last.
Colonel D'Arcy, of the Gambia Volunteers, states that
this man and another, who was afterwards killed—pio-
neers in the 4th West India Regiment —answered his call
for volunteers, with axes in hand, to hew down the
s ockade. Colonel D'Arcy having effected an entrance,
Private Hodge followed him through the town, opening
with his axe two gates from the inside, which were barri-
caded, so allowing the supports to enter, who carried the
place from east to west at the point of the bayonet. On
issuing to the glade through the west gate, Private Hodge
was presented by Colonel D'Arcy to his comrades, as the
bravest soldier in their regiment, a fact which they acknow-
ledged with loud acclamations.

The late Trades' Reform Demonstration.

The adjourned meeting of the trades' delegates
was held last night at the Sussex Hotel, Bouverie-
street, Fleet-street, for the purpose of receiving the
financial btatement of the late demonstration, and
deciding upon the future course of action. Mr. G.
Potter occupied the chair.
The Secretary reported the proceedings taken by
the Working Men's Association in reference to the
action commenced for breach of contract against
the lessee of Ashburnham Grounds, and a resolution
was adopted confirming the action taken by the
association.

The Treasurer then read the financial statement,
from which it appeared that the co,t of the demon-
stration had been £655. The following delegates
were appointed as auditors :—Mr. Judd, tin plate-
worker ; Mr. Jeffery, bricklayer ; and Mr. Wolff,
farrier.

A delegate wished to know whether the trades
were going to take part in the proposed demonstra-
tion of the Reform League on the 11th February.

The Chairman said each trade would act as it
thought proper, but that the delegates as a body
had no power to take any action in relation to the
proposed demonstration.
The following resolution was then adopted :
" That in the opinion of this meeting of delegates of
the London Trades, should the present Government
not introduce a satisfactory Reform Bill, another
demonstration of the London Trades should take
place early in the year, and that the committee take
the necessary steps to prepare for the same on a
larger scale than that held on the 3d of December
last"
London, England, 1867-01-05

The meeting then adjourned until the 26th insl

THE LATE SHOCKING RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT
PRESTON.—About a fortnight ago we gave some particu-
lars regarding a shocking accident which happened at the
Deepdale-road station, Preston, to a young girl, daughter
of Mr. Banks, secretary of the Preston Spinners and Min-
ders' Association. It may be remembered that when a
train from Longridgo reached the station named, Henry
Whittaker, master spinner, of Accrington, who was riding
in one of the carriages, held out his hand, that the deceased
ran towards him, then fell, was run over by three of the
carriages, and picked up quite dead. It was not clear
whether she seized his hand or he got hold of hers. Some
persons said he grasped her hand, and held it until after
the train started, when she fell ; while others wore doubt-
ful on the point. At the inquest, a verdict of accidental
death was returned. This verdict was received unfavour-
ably by some of the Preston magistrates, who thought that
Whittaker had either directly or indirectly been the cause
of the girl's death ; they afterwards summoned him, and
on Wednesday he appeared at the police-court to answer
the charge of manslaughter. The defence was that Whit-
taker knew nothing about the deceased ; that on arriving
at Deepdale-road station, held out his hand to a man for
a light, being about to smoke; that, while doing so, the
ldeceased rushed towards him, seized his hand, and ro-
sined her grasp till the train started, when she fell. A
witness was called, who said that Whittaker asked him for
a light at the station named. The summons was dismissed.
" SNOWED Ur" IN CHANCERY.—Yesterday Mr.
Hall, the chief clerk, concluded the vacation business, and
disposed of a long list of summonses. In one case appli-
cation was made for time to answer, as one of the parties
was 4, weather-bound," and in another case that he was
"snowed up." Time was granted.
THE MANSION-HOUSE C OLLIERY ACCIDENT F UND.
—Among the amounts received yesterday in aid of the
above fund was one of £33 12s. 6d., collected by the sales-
men of Billingsgate-market, through Mr. Deering, the
clerk of the market, and a number of small sums—the total
amount received being about £220. The total amount re-
ceived moods £16,000.

greatest success, but they advertise in the Engl

stocking their coverts with any quantity that may

de Boulogne is a sight worth seeing. The birds are
bred at out -quarters in the country, and are
brought into Paris at this season of the year fncif
sale ; the cocks are kept apart from the hens, an
the compartments in which they are placed ale
bedded over with dried oak leaves—of which a fresP
dressing is daily added, in order that their plurnal
may not be soiled. They have warm food—grne
and potatoes— once a day. The Acclimatisation

Tan year 1860 was a year of storms, and there-
fore of casualties at sea. We can expect no better
of the year 1867. The loss-book at Lloyd's has
been unusually heavy of late. The cyclones in the
East and the West Indies have strewn the seas with
wreck. Nearer home, on the coasts of the
United Kingdom, life and property have
enjoyed no exemption from loss ; and it will
be well if the total at the end of the year does not
exceed that of 1866. Until within the last few
years the casualties which occurred at sea could be
estimated only approximately. The " National
" Lifeboat Institution " rendered a valuable servico
by publishing its annual " Wreck Register," and this
has been supplemented during the last two years with
the more precise and detailed information obtained
by the Statistical Committee of Lloyd's. We have
now before us a comparative statement, elaborated
by Mr. JEULA, the secretary to that committee. It
refers solely to the loss of property. This, how-
ever, is a constant index to the loss of life. given
the one, the other may be deduced with toler-
able accuracy. It appears, then, that in
• the first six months of the piesent year
there were 6,025 • casualties reported, against
6,138 in the previous year. The decrease in
the total number of casualties is unfortunately
counterbalanced by an increase in most of these
of a graver character, with the exception of colli-
sions. There were 233 vessels abandoned, against
186 ; 366 sunk, against 351 ; 71 missing, against
67 ; .955 in collision, against 974 ; and 1,609
stranded, against 1,676. Year by year additions
are made to the number of ships, but still greater
additions are made to the number of casualties.
While British and foreign shipping entered and
cleared at port): in the United lino dom increased
between 1864 and 1866 at the rate of 11.72,
casualties of all kinds increased at the rate of 52
per cent.

Making every allowance for the difference between
years exceptionally favourable and unfavourable,
these figures are unsatisfactory. The transformation
which shipping has undergone of late years has
enormously increased its value. The adoption of
steam has given constancy and regularity to ocean
transit, and the second reconstruction of the mercan-
tile marine, necessitated by the screw propeller,
has increased the comforts of every family
in the empire, and enormously aug,mentcd
our trade. Comparing merely the tonnage of goods
and the number of passengers carried across the
sea, we should find probably an increase of security
