Margaret Macdonald, who gave the name of
Ann Corradinc last night, on being charged With,
being helplessly drunk, said she had been a Tee-
totaller 12 months barring three days.
Mr. Benson—Why don't you keep the teetotal
pledge ?
The prisoner—For iver will I, plase yer hunners
wortchip. Iver since last Boxing-day I have been
solid and sober, but last night I met with a few
frinds from the ould counthry, and we drank, bad
luck to Fenianism,, until—

Mr. Benson—You got drunk. Go away, and
keep sober in future.

Another wretched and pale-faced woman in a
state of exhaustion, who gave the name of Anne
Jones, was carried on a stretcher to the station-house
in a deplorable condition, singing the old refrain—
" Strapped on a stretcher were Sarah and I."

The Prisoner-4 am very ill.
Mr. Benson—ill ! I wonder you arc not dead.
What a scandal it is to find so many women brought
here for for drinking to excess. Go away.
Jane Fry behaved so badly in her intoxicated
condition last night that Mr. Benson sentenced her
to one day's imprisonment.
The Prisoner—lt is Christmas Limo.
Mr. Benson—Lock her up until five o'clock this
evening.

COLONIAL.
The Mincing Lane markets are closed for the Christ-
mas holidays, and will roopen on Thursday, the 24 Jan.,
1868.

TALLOW.—The tallow market has been firmer
during the past week; some purchases made for
the settlement for the year have tended to
cause this improvement, but these, we believe, are
nearly all arranged for. The trade demand continues
mcderate for the time of year. St. Petersburg advices
state that no business had lately been done, and prices
were unchanged. Here the market is quiet, at 43s 3d on
spot ; 43s for buyers for December, 43s 6d January to
March, 44s March. Busfuess has been done for October
and December next at 44s 6d. Australian beef, 43s ;
South American, 45s ; town tallow, 42s 6d nett cash.

INTERESTING CBREMONY.—A public examination
of and distribution of prizes to the pupils at Professor
Vycen's educational establishment, Amyot-house, Fulham-
road, took place last evening at the Vestry-hall, King's-
r3ad,Chelsea. The Rev. W. H. Denny, M.A., officiated on the
interesting occasion, and each successful competitor met
with the most gratifying applause. Miss Evans—a very
clover pupil secured no lass than three prizes, viz.,
music, drawing, and writing. The competition for the
musical prize was ♦ory keen, but the talented and accom-
plished young lady who eventually secured it, Miss Evans,
richly deseiTed the tribute she finally received, as her
execution of a very brilliant :setting of "Home, Sweet
Howe," not only elicited general approbation, but
secured for her an encore. The proficiency of her pupil
must have been as gratifying to bliss Williams as it was
pleasing to the very large company that attended on the
interesting occasion.

TROTTING MATCll.—Yesterday tho match in
which Mr. Bowles undertook to drive his mare five
miles in harness within 20 minute; for £25 a side, came
off on the Godstono-road. The road was i❑ good condi-
tion, and the mare accomplished her task, having nearly
two minutes to spare. A second match between Peggy
and Colonel, two well-known trotting cobs, to trot one
mile for £lO aside, was decided in favour of the mare, who
performed the mile in 3i minutes.
SIuPwREcK.—A DRUNKEN CAPTAIN. —WHIT -
BURN, NEAR SUNDERLAND, Dec. 22.- Signals of distress
were shown early yesterday morning from a vessel on
shore off this place (reports Captain Duff, R.N., of H.M.S.
Durham). The lifeboat Thomas Wilson, belonging to the
National Lifeboat Institution, was launched, but on arriv-
ing close to found the longboat had been hoisted out, and
receiving no answer to repeated hailing, and the sea
being too heavy to risk the boat's going alongside except
to cave life, the men pulled oot to sea to look
for the ship's boat, and not finding her they returned to
the shore. The lifeboat tried to get the vessel off, but
could not succeed in doing so. Subsequently a messenger
arrived from Sunderland to say that the crow of the Wig
John, of Hartlepool, had arrived there in their boat, har-
ing left the master on board the stranded ship intoxicated.
The lifeboat again went off to this vessel and rescued the
captain, who was found drunk and asleep in his cabin,
with the water washing all round him. The brig is likely
to Weak up.

The foundation of the British drama was far
different, for it was based on the reality of the
actor. lie was neither king nor slave, neither hero
nor villain, beyond his garb and his own assertion.
lie was an actor true, but he was still a mau—man
unshackled, free to delineate all the pissions of his
nature, and hence our plots could be more complex,
and their language more varied. As we can but
envy the ancients listening enthralled by their
glorious poetry through such vehicles, arid accept-
ing all inconsistencies incident ou the reality of the
scene, so likewise must we envy the fervid 'senti-
ments of our forefathers, who, in the reality of their
actors as men, could accept their position midst
rocks, or woods, or palaces, void of their painted
representations ; nay, even could discriminate be-
tween them and the favoured audience on the stage
itself, though Queen Elizabeth sat in state to view
a representation of Henry VIII.
The French, however, in a slavish adoration of
the classic, strove but at its imitation ; even at one
time only Greek or Roman plots were considered
legitimate. Their authors were bound down to uni-
formity of language to each character, to admit no
violence on the stage, although their actors were as
free as our own, and this before a painted scene,
confined to a small area, lit up by artificial light.
The marvel is not that our system should have
supplanted such slavish imitation, but that such
imitation should have remained so long extant.—
Racing Times.

"LAWN MEET" AT BADMINTON.—The Duke of
Beaufort's hounds met on Friday at Badminton. The meet
was to have taken place at Worcester Lodge, which is
situated about three miles from Badminton, at the ex-
treme end of the noble avenue of elms that commences
immediately in front of the ducal mansion. There was a
very large "field," but the patience of the assembled
Nimrods was for a long period sorely tried on account of
the non-arrival of the Duke's party. Eleven o'clock was
the hour fixed for the gathering, but 12 o'clock came and
went, and about half an hour afterwards a general move
was made up the avenue to ascertain the reason of the
delay. It was then understood that in consequence of the
frost there would be no hunting that morning, and clouds
began to gather over the brows of the disappointed sports-
men. The meet was larger than usual on account of its
having got abroad that the Prince and Princess Christian
would join in the hunt. The rumour was, however, with-
out the slightest foundation. The Prince and Princess are
visitors at the seat of Earl Cowley, near Chippenham, but
there is no reason to believe that they intend paying a visit
to Badminton. At Badminton House it appeared to be well
leptiderstood that the state of the weather would preclude
the idea of a hunt, and accordingly the Marquis of Wor-
cester and party early in the morning went out shooting.
The duke, however, on being informed of the condition of
things, and being given to understand that great disap-
pointment would be occasioned if there was no meet,
readily agreed to reconsider his decision, and himself went
for a long ride in order to test the state of the ground. It
was indeed welcome Rows when ou his grace's return it
was announced that notwithstanding the weather there
was to be a run. The hunting party, among whom were
a large number of ladies, had by this time moved up to the
lawn, and ere long the hounds were brought up, and the
duke and his party, numbering between 20 and 30, made
their appearance. The duchess did not ride in the hunt,
but among his grace's party were the Duke and Duchess
d'Aumale, who reside near Worcester, but who have since
Monday been visitors at Badminton House. The Marquis
of Worcester and some of the younger sons of the duke
joined iu the hunt. The "field" altogether numbered
about 200, including many Bristolians. On the ar-
rival of the ducal party the Centre Walk Wood was
tried, but unsuccessfully. The party then trotted down to
Evan's Wood, where a fox was found without difficulty,
and an excellent run was made across the Sheep State to
Little Badminton and back into the same cover, where
Maynard managed to evade the vigilance of his pursuers.
The clumps iu the park were next tried again with
success, the direction being through Wick to Sopworth
and back into the park, up the hawhaw, and back to
Sopworth. The chase had then occupied about two hours,
and as darkness was now setting in the hounds wore
whipped off. The hunt, though rather short, was consi-
dered to be good sport, though the area of ground over
which it extended was small. The foxes, instead cf running
straight described circles, and at no time were the
hounds at a greater distance from the mansion than about
three miles. The party that was staying at Badminton
was an unusually large one. It included Emily Duchess
of Beaufort, the Duke and Duchess d'Aumale, and Madlle.
Clinchamps, M. de Laugel, the Marquis of Worcester
Lord Henry Somerset, Lord Arthur Somerset, Lord
Edward Somerset, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, Lady Blanche
Somerset, Mr. and Mrs. G. Somerset, Colonel and Mrs. P.
Somerset, Mr. and Mrs. Holford, Mr. and Mrs. Biddulpb,
Sir R. Graham, Mr. Curzon, Mr. Percy Baker, Mr. Sted-
burg, Captain Little, Mr. Baldwin, and Mr. Boehm. The
Earl of Westmoreland left Badminton on Thursday.
Among the visitors during the week have been Lady
Georgiana Codrington and family, Sir John, Lady, and
Miss Neeld, and Colonel and Lady Emily. Singscote.—
Western Daily Press.

On Friday last the gunboats Fly and Flirt were
launched from Devonport dockyard by Mr. A.
Moore, the shipwright. The ceremony was per-
formed by Miss Spencer and Miss Matilda Spencer,
daughters of the Commander-in-Chief of the
Western District, Major-Gen. the Hon. Sir A. A.
Spencer, K.C.B. The Fly and Flirt are sister gun-
boats of 464 tons, built on lines supplied by Mr. E.
J. Reed, Constructor of the Navy. They will have
engines of 160 horse power, with double screws.
They are built on the composite principle of wood
and iron, and, although much stronger than
wooden ships of the same dimensions, will, being
lighter, draw less water. The frames aro of angle
iron, which is at intervals doubled back to
back in connection with iron intercostals, to
secure strength, which is also obtained by
longitudinal stringers. The framework is
planked outside by two thicknesses of teak. The
inner skin is three inches thick, and is fastened with
metal screw bolts and nuts. The outer skin, two
inches thick, is fastened to the inner skin in those
parts of it which are unconnected with the ironwork
by small copper bolts, riveted inside on washers,
similar to the fastenings of boats built on the diago-
nal principle. It will be thus observed that great
precautions are taken to prevent contact by copper
and iron in salt water, the effects of which have been
so detrimental. In laying down her after sections
an effort has been made to carry the body of the
ship further aft than heretofore, so as to counteract
or lessen the power- of heavy waves at sea, which
in several of the double screws now afloat (when
rough weather prevails) lifts them up, through their
hollowness, aft, and thus plunges their bows into
the sea. The armament of the Flirt and Fly will
consist of one six-ton gun and.one 64 pounder.
By the mail steamship Norseman, which arrived
at Plymouth on Sunday, we learn that the troops
quartered in Cape Town are remarkably healthy,
and that they have not suffered from the fever which
prevails in the town. The 86th Regiment is under
orders to proceed from Algoa Bay to the Mauritius,
and it is probable that the steam transport Edin-
burgh, which has been engaged by the Government
in place of the wrecked transport Bosphorus, will
convey the 86th from the colony to the island.
The hired screw steam transport Venetia, No. 18,
Capt. W. S. Way, from Malta Dec. 12th, and Gib-
raltar 15th, arrived in Plymouth Sound yesterday
(Monday) morning. She landed muleteers at Gib-
raltar, and brings 15 passengers and a cargo of re-
turned stores to England.
Four officers and 106 men belonging to the 20th
Regiment, with their wives and families, left Devon-
port by the 10 40 a.m. train yesterday for ordinary
duty at Bristol.
Yesterday a general court-martial assembled at
Chatham, by order of his Royal Highness the Duke
of Cambridge, K.G., for the trial of Pi ivates James
Molloy and Patrick Daly, two soldiers belonging
to the 2d battalion of the Ist King's Royals, on the
charge of having made use of seditious language.
The court was presided over by Colonel Robert
Boyle, C. 8., Royal Marines Light Infantry, and
Colonel J. 11. Lay e, the deputy-judgeldvocate for
the district, conducted the trial ; Captain D. Reid,
let Depot Battalion, was the official prosecutor. The
charges on which the prisoners were arraigned was
for having, on the evening of the 13th inst., in the
public streets at Brompton, Chatham, made use of
the following seditious language against her Majes-
ty's person :—" The Queen may —, and the
colonel may —. lam au Irishman to the back-
bone, and I'll swing the same as Allen and Larkin
swung before. If there is any _lrishman here, let
him fall to the rear," or words to that effect. The
prisoner Daly was further charged with striking the
non-commissioned officer in charge of the troops
whO conveyed him to the guard-room. The wit-
nesses in support of the charge were Sergeant
M'Qucen, Royal Engineers, Sergeant Latham, Bth
Regiment, Corporal Snelling, Ist Royals, Privates
O'Donnell, Bth Regiment, Hardwick, 14th Regi-
ment, and Johnston, 82d Regiment. The prisoners
since they have been in the regiment have each borne
a very bad character, and they have been pre-
viously tried by court-martial. The finding and
sentence of the court will not be known until con-
firmed by the authorities at the Horse Guards.
The following appointments were made yester-
day at the Admiralty :—Commander W. H. Max-
well to Octavia ; Navigating Lieut. Tom B. Read,
additional, to the Indus, for the Defence ; Naviga-
ting Lieut. Henry D. Sarratt to the Megtara ; Wni.
B. Hutchinson, paymaster, to the Megsara ; Robert
G. Bird, assist.-surg., to the Megaara ; Reginald B.

MISSING VESSEL—HORSENS, Dec. 18.— The Mi-
nerva (galeas), which sailed hence in October, bound for
England, and from a Norwegian port (where she had put
in) on the 15th of November, has not since been heard of ;
but as, according to intelligence received here, seven casks
