The entertainments on the occasioa of the ap-
proaching nuptials of the Princess Royal are to con-
sist of four dramatic performances at Her Majesty's
Theatre previous to the day of her Royal Highness's
marriage, and a grand choral concert at Bucking-
ham Palace on the evening of that day. The ar-
rangements for the dramatic performances are under
the direction of Mr. Mitchell, in co-operation with
Mr. Lumley, and with the assistance of the follow-
ing managers of the principal theatres : Mr.
Buckstone, of the Haymarket ; Mr. Webster, of the
Adelphi ; Mr. Harrison and Miss Pyne of the
Lyceum ; Messrs. Robson and Emden, of the
Olympic ; and Mr. Phelps, of Sadler's Well.. The
first performance is to be "Macbeth," under the
direction of Mr. Phelps ; the parts of Maobe:h
and Lady Macbeth by him and Mias Helen Faucit ;
with Oxenford's farce, " Twice Killed," in which
Mr. and Mrs. Keeley, will appear. The second
performance will be Balfe's new opera "The Rose
of Cas ilk," as it has been given at the Lyceum,
with a comedietta by Mr. Robson and members of
the Olympic company. The third is to be an Italian
opera, with Piccolomini, Giugliui, and other stars
of Her Majesty's Theatre, and followieg by a ballet
divertissement. And the fourth will consist of an
English comedy by Mr. Buclistone and the Hay-
market company, with an afterpiece in which Mr.
Wright and members of the Adelphi company will
perform. The Queen and the Prince Consort, with
the Court, and her Majesty's royal and illustious
visitors, are to honour these per& ',noes with
presence ; a great portion of the grarr of boxes
being set apart and magnificently fatfkr-tiiiiceihilit
reception ; and the whole theatre, moreover, being
splendidly decorated.

The concert at Buckingham Palace is to be on a
large and magnificent scale, embracing tho services
of-our greatest vocal and instrumental performers.
Madame Clara Novello, we learn, will come to
London expressely for this occasion, and will not
return to Italy till the commencement of our
regular season.

SEEING THE OLD YEAR OUT AT WHITE HORSE
CHAMBERS, FETTER-LANE—Hearing that the proprietors
of the monster lodgit4.-bouse in Fetter-lane intended
giving the inmates of the house a Christmas treat, we
dropped in on Thursday evening to see wbat was going
on, and gladly corfess to the gratification it afforded us
to behold some two huni!red of the least fortunate of our
fellow-creatures in the enjoyment of a happy hour.
They bad partaken of a substantial tea, and were passing
the remainder of the evening in a esncert, and while we
were looking round the piano was playing most merrily.
Toe large room in which the concert took place was
eecorated with evergreens and banners, and densely
packed with rather hirsute faces, on which want and
care had carved many furrows. From what we observed
the entertainment was strictly of a teetotal character,
but not the less productive of an hour's social sunshine
to those for whom it had been provided.—City Press.
THE CHRISTMAS OF 1857.--A plate of raspberries
was gathered on Christmas eve, in the open air, in the
garden of Mr. John Wood; of Kingstborpe, near North-
ampton. In our more northern c natity of Durham we
hear from our rural friends of simple birds that have
built their nests in the hedgerows. An old farmer,
who bad four ploughs at work in one field on the 28th
ult., said he had never known such weather, his land was
in April order. On Saturday a brown linnet's nest was
found at Newbiggin waggon-way with four young ones;
and on Monday a sparrow's nest was found with four
eggs in it. Whinbushes are everywhere in golden
flower. Pansies and polyanthu.ies are repor ed by our
Sunderland correspondent to be in full blow in his
locality. On the 29th wild strawberries were gathered
between Shildon and Sedgefield. Women were gath-
ering " wickens" on the 30th near Durham. A
hedgesparrow's nest, with four eggs, and the old
bird sitting on them, was found on a farm at Bar-
low a few days ego ; and at the same time the po!y•
anthus was blooming at Ryten, and roses and woodbines
were ready to blow. A picnic party left Gateshead in
an open conveyance on the last morning of the old year.
At night there earns a nipping frost, and the earth was
hoar on New Year's morn ; but the day was delightful
—at once sharp and summery.—Gateshead Observer.
[lt should be remembered that the mildest Christmas-day
on record (that of 1837) immediately precede 1 the long
and severe 'frost of January and February, 1838 ]
NEW METBOrOLITAN POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS.—
On Friday a new and important alteration in the postal
arrangements for the facility of letter deliveries through-
out the north-western district ofthemetropoliscame into
operation, by direction of her Majesty's Postmaster Gene-
ral, in the establishment of a central office for the entire
north-west dietrie. This establishment, which con-
sists of a manager and perfectly separate staff, has been
erected at great expense in Evsrshnit-street, Oakley-
square, St. Pancras. It is exceedingly capacious, situate
just at the entrance to Camden-town, and as nearly
central as possible in the north-western district.
The effect of this new system is stated to be, that
all the letters
_posted in and belonging to the
dis-
trict will find their way to this central office, from,
which, having first been duly sorted, they will be de-
livered direct, without having, as heretofore, to travel
to St. Martin's-le-Grand, and then back again to the die-
trict in which the letters are posted. The result to be
obtained by the establishment of these central district
offices is that all letters within the district will be
delivered two hours earlier every Post than they were
under the old system. Should the new plan be
found to work well, of which there is but little doubt, it
is understood to be the intention of th. 3 Post-office au-
thorities to establish a similar central depot in every
postal district of the metropolis. The establishment is
alio a central office for general post letters up to a later
hour than five o'clock.

SEAMEN'S WIVES AND FURNITURE BROKERS.—Sea-
men belonging to the v.orth-east ports, who are mostly
a domesticated class of men, are sometimes unfortunate
enough to fall in with bad wives, and though most of
them leave a fair provision behind for their spouses
when upon distant voyages, it sometimes happens that
on their return they find their houses sold up by their
wives to a broker, and the household entirely destroyed.
A. case of this sort has been before the North Shields
County Court this week. A seaman, named Taylor,
sailed upon an American voyage in October, and left
his wife at borne with ample provision for her
maintenance: Upon returning this Christmas he found
his house sold up, and his wife fled. She had sold his
furniture to nne Crofton, a broker, for 9/. It way worth
251. Be brought an action for the value of the furniture,
and the judge adjudicated that Crofton should pay him

THE CORN TRADE IN FRANOE.—The kioniteur pub-
li.hes the official return of the price of wheat for the
last week of November and the first fortnight of Decem-
ber, in the Jiff-rent markets of France by whioh the
import and export duties on corn and fl sir are regulated.
The highest price is 231.21 c. per hectolitrein the market
of Marseilles, and the lowest, 14f 78c., in that of Metz.
The highest av,rage price for any district is 191. 9c., in
the markets of Toulouse, Gray, Lyons, and Marseilles,
and the lowest, 15f. 34c., in those of Metz, Verdun,
Charleville, and Soissons. The average for the whole of
France is 17f. 85c, being a decline of Do. on the last
return. The following has been the progressive decline
in price during the last six months :—End of July,
251. 75c.; August, 21f. 62c.; September, 20f. 23c.;
October, 181. 73c.; November, 17f. 96c.; and December,
171. 86c. The average price at, the end of December,
1856, was 271. 82c., and at the corresponding period of
1855,
.33f. 47c. The prices are now sufficiently low in
all the sections to allow corn and flour to be exported
at the, simple scale dues of .25c. per hectolitre of wheat,
and 50c. per metrical quintal of flour. As to the
imports, they are not now subject to the regulating
table, as they remain free until the let .of September,
1858.

TRE SUPPOSED POISONING AT ICEIGHLEY.-00 Thurs-
day, the adjourned inquest on the body of Barbara
Sagar, aged 39, matron of the Keighley workhouse, was
held before T. Brown, E.g., coroner for the district, at
the Court-house, Keiebley. The court was again densely
crowded. John Sagar, deceased's husband, wee placed
in the dock, on suspicion of having administered the
arsenic from which death bad arisen.., The case was
watched on his behalf by Mr. Wasney, of Skipton. The
jury returned the following verdict :—" We find that
Barbara Sagar has died from the effects of arsenic, but
by whom administered there is no evidence to show."
The Coroner—l don't know that you could have returned
any other verdict according to the evidence.—There was
no manifestation of feeling on the part of the crowded
was announced. The prisoner
was detained in custody till yesterday morning, 'when
the magistrates discharged him. It might be noticed, in
connexion with this inquiry, that not one of the medicine
bottles taken possession of by the police has been arias
lysed ; although the deceased invariably took her medi-
cine from her husband's hands, and complained that the
stuff burned her.—Leeds Mercury.
POISONING AT HALIFAX. —On Wednesday afternoon
an inquest was held at the Dusty Miller Inn, Halifax,
to inquire into the circumstances attending the death of
Mary Eastburn, wife of Mr. R. Eastburn, stover, Pel-
lon-lane. The husband of the deceased, who has been in
business in Halifax many years, bas latterly been unfor-
tunate in the investment of his capital, and the result is
that the whole of his property is advertised for pale, under
an order of the Bankruptcy Cour'. Mr. Eastburn'e
embarrassmenthas been taken much to heart by his wife,
and on Tuesday morning, in a state of mental delusion,
she poisoned herself and endeavoured to poison her hus-
band. The case, as stated by the witnesses at the inquest
appears to be as follows :—On Monday the deceased
was out all day with her two sons, on Mr. East-
burn's ,business, and on her return she appeared
le more than .ually depressed in spirits, and remarked
that the family would be turned out of doors.
Next morning, about five o'clock, she went dow stairs,
and Lock from the cupboard a bettle containing 1 oz. of
laudanum, purchased for Mr. Eastburn, he bele:4 in the
habit of taking it with burnt brandy for spasms in the
stomach. Having poured into a cup a portion of the con-
tents of the phial, she drank off the dose, and then pre.
sented one to her husband, telling him it was rhubarb
wine. Mr. Eastburn took oily a small quantity of the
liquid, bvt his wife drank the remainder. As she had
taken scarcely anything to eat for some days past, and
had, therefore, an empty stomach, the poison speedily
took effect, and though Mr. Nowell, surgeon, and hie
assistant, Mr. Stocks, were early in attendance, and did
all they could to preserve life, the unfortunate woman
died about eight o'clock in the evening of the same day.
In the case of Mr. Eastbourne, however, the medicine
operated, and happily he was soon out of danger. The
occurrence causes a very paicful sensation in the neigh-
bourhood. The jury returned as their verdict that the
deceased had died from laudanum, administered by her-
self whilst in a temporary fit of insanity.

employed on the moor. Half have latterly been

they should work the entire day, or only receive a

paupers 'determinedly resisted this order, and the
more violPnt of them threatened death to the welt-
disposed who were willing to comply. The opposi-
tion assumed such an alarming form that' it was
not deemed prudent to carry out the resolution,
and the labourers accordingly received their ls.
each for only half a-day's work. On Saturday
evening the men assembled at the offices to the
number of 1,000, and demanded their pay as usual.
On being informed that they would only receive 6d.
each a most serious disturbance occurred. The
commotion commenced before 5 o'clock, and several
or the more violent of the labourers rose and
harangued the rest, calling upon them to resist
this attempt "to starve them to death." The
guardians present were Messrs. M. Satterthwaite
(the chairman of the board), Ward, Dewhurst, and
C. Satterthwaite. Mr. Ward essayed to speak to
the people, but he was booted and groaned at, and
denounced in the most violent and profane terms
The affair assumed such an aspect that the Mayor
of the borough (Mr. J. Humber), Mr. Dodd, the
magistrate's clerk, and Mr. Gibbons, the police
superintendent, with about 20 constables, ultima-
t-ly went t) the spot. The leaders of the paupers
continued their harangues, and al efforts at expos-
tulation were useless. The men declared that they
would have the pay either one way or another. A
consultation between the guardians present and the
authorities took place, and it was contemplated to
read the Riot Act. • The superintendent of police
went to one of the orators, who was appealing to
the passions of his fellows, and requested him to be
quiet, but no notice was taken of the intimation.
One section of the guardians, backed by the autho-
rities, for some time expressed a determination to
resist the tumult, and adhere to. the resolution for
stopping the 63. Mr. C. Satterthwaite and others,
however, pointed out the danger of such a course
in the then excite 1 state of the men, and also that
there was some ground for the complaint, seeing it
was attempted to make the abatement on Satur-
day, as on Sunday they would receive no money
at all. After a long discussion it was agreed to pd,y
the parties their shilling each, and enforce the new
rule on Monday (this day), with the determination
that the men should either work a full day or only
receive payment in proportion. The superinten-
dents have instructions to put the labourers a full
day's employment. It is very probable that a
serious riot, will be the result. An outbreak was
cert iinly avoided on Saturday night by the conces-
sion of the guardian ; and the enforcement of their
order will be exceedingly difficult. if not danger-
ous to the peace of the town. The commotion
lasted nearly three hours. It is to be hoped that
the number of this class of paupers will be speedily
reduced. Six additional mills have within the last
few days commenced running full time, and they I
will, to a small extent, lessen the number of the
labourers ; but it must be borne in mind that the
paupers on the moor include a large class of idle
persons who seldom worked in good times.

Iron was dull at adecline.
A firm demand for molasses and sugar at steady
prices.

Turpentine quiet.
Provisions dull and drooping. Rice dUll. Tal-
low firm. Tobacco firmer.
Freights very dull.
