THE WEATHER.—(THIS DAY.)—TIiS afternoon,
at 2 o'clock, the barometer stood at 29.88, and the
the thermometer at 19, being 13 degrees below
freezing point. The extreme cold last night was 5

A VENERABLE PARTY.—On the day before
Christmas-day, the Rev. Mr. Judd, curate of St.
Paul's, Cambridge, entertained twelve old ladies, his
parishioners, to dinner and tea, and provided them with
other good things appropriate to the season. Their
united ages amounted to 1,000 years, but the venerable I
dames managed to spend a very merry afternoon notwith
standing.
CONVICTION OF CELEBRATED PRIZE FIGHTERS.
—At the Derbyshire Sessions, before Mr. Evans, M.P., and
other magistrates, Joseph Goss, Peter Morris, George Hol-
den, Joseph Wareham, and James Mace, surrendered to
their bail, on a charge of unlawfully disturbing the public
peace at Croxall, on the 28th November, 1866. The pri-
soners pleaded guilty, and through their solicitor asked to
be allowed to go at large, as they all earned their livelihood
in respectable employments, upon entering into their re-
cognisances to comp up for judgment when called on. It
was proved by the superintendent and inspector of police
that they had not been assaulted or insulted
T byho the
air defen-
dants when told to desist from fighting. chman
said that though engaged in an illegal act they had not in-
terfered with the police ; but it had been proved by a
cent case in Sheffield that the course which the defendants
requested him to pursue towards them did not a
substantial
put e
top to
prize fights. He should, therefore, inflict
punishment for the offence. The sentence was that they
be severally imprisoned, with hard lab our,r o
each no calen
bound
dar
month, and at the expiration of that tme be
over in his own recognisances in the sum of £lO to keep
the peace for twelve months.

THE DISCUSSION BETWEEN PROFESSOR BLAME
AND MR. ERNEST JONES.—This discussion was, we learn
by telegraph, opened last night at Edinburgh by an address
from Professor Blackle, who maintained that on referring
to the history of all democracies, ancient and modern, it
would be found that none had :ever been successful. At
the close a vote of thanks was given to the Professor, and
good humour prevailed throughout the proceedings.
['ADVERTISEMENT.]—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
These wonderful productions have now become so appre-
ciated in every part of the world, that they form a complete
household tretsure ; the worst cases of ulcers, wounds,
and every variety of skin diseases, for which so many
remedies have been tried without effect, readily succumb
to their power; they act so miraculously upon the system
as to be considered a complete phenomenon in the healing
art. For this reason they are advocated by many modern
practitioners after everything else has proved unsuccessful.
Those complaints especially, which affect the sedentary
and studious, give way as mist before the rising sun to the
influence of the Pills. External woundB are as readily
healed under the Ointment,
