evening about £3OO in all had been received, and
that is but a beginning of what may eventually be,
in all probability, a sum sufficient for the substantial
relief of the bereaved families. There is no doubt
that the fund will also be made applicable to the
kindred calamity in North Staffordshire colliery,
near Hanley, which, following immediately upon
that at Barnsley, gives additional force to the appeal

lAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.-AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the bowels
or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant, is ad-
mitted to be the best medicine for immediately relieving
coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and incipient con-
sumption. It frequently cures persons whom the faculty
pronounce incurable, admirably allays the tickling which
pl'oyokes frequent toughing. In approaching consumption
its effects are truly beneficial. Persons deprived of sleep, or
even lying down for fear of suffocation, may depend on relief
in a few minutes after taking it. Preparea on or and sold by
W. LAMBERT, Chemist. 8, King-William-street, Charing-

THAMES.

DARING ROBBERY ON TOWER-HlLL.—RObert Birant, a
well-known and desperate thief, was charged with stealing
a silver watch, value £3, from the person of Mr. Thomas
Bullard, a clerk, of No. 1, Denmark-terrace, Bermondsey.

The prosecutor was passing over Tower-hill, and
stopped to look at a man who was vociferously recommend-
ing some purses he had for sale. There were very soon
about 30 persons around him. The prisoner was the
nearest, and was standing on the left of the prosecutor,
whose watch he soon managed to obtain. ktr. Ballard
did not miss it until he saw the prisoner leave the crowd
very hurriedly. He then saw his silk guard hanging
out of his pocket, the bow of the watch broken,
and missed his watch. He immediately pursued
the prisoner, and called out "Stop thief." An
exciting chase then took place, and the prisoner
flung the a atch on the ground. Cries of " Stop
thief, stop him," were raised. The prisoner upset and
knocked down several persons, and he was at last stopped
by David Leary, 218 11, with whom he had a severe
struggle before he was secured. The prosecutor's watch
was afterwards restored to him by a boy who picked it up.
The watch was broken.

The case was clearly madd out against the prisoner, and
it was intimated that he would be committed for trial, but
as it was believed ho had been previously convicted he was
remanded until Thursday next for inquiries to be made
about him.

SEASONABLE BENEVOLENCE.—Mr. Paget requested our
reporter to acknowledge the receipt of £2O from the Fish-
mongers' Company, and 19 guineas from the executors of
a gentleman named Haggart, deceased, for the poor-box
fund.

ARRIVAL OF THE TASMANIA.

SOUTHAMPTON, Dec. 14.

The Royal mail steamship Tasmania arrived off
Netley Hospital at four o'clock, and immediately
hoisted the yellow flag. She sailed from St.
Thomas on the 30th ultimo. Although the wea-
ther at St. Thomas was very cold, yellow fever,
small-pox, and cholera prevailed. There have
been 96 cases of yellow fever on board the Tas-
mania, of which five died at St. Thomas, and :21
during the passage home. Several cases are still on
board, four of which are not expected to live through
the night. With the exception of the ship's doctor, who
died on the 4th inst., the fever has been confined to
the firemen and seamen of the ship. All the pas-
sengers are healthy.

HANOVER.

About a fortnight since a proclamation, of which
the following is a translation, was posted through-
out the kingdom of Hanover :

"PROCLAMATION OF HIS MAJESTY THE KING TO THE
HANOVERIANS.

" We, George V., by the grace of God King of
llanover, Prince of Great Britain and Ireland,
Duke of Cumberland, Duke of Brunswick and
Luneburg, &c., send from afar our royal greeting
to our faithful subjects.
" In these sad days of terrible misfortune, which
by the unsearchable decrees of Providence have fallen
upon us, our house, and our kingdom, we turn with
sorrowful heart, but at the same time with paternal
love, to our faithful people of Hanover. In spite of
our incessant attempts to prevent the civil war in
Germany; in spite of the careful foresight with which
we endeavoured to preserve peace at least in our
kingdom, the King of Prussia, our cousin, and, till
now, our ally, has, without any reasonable cause,
overwhelmed us in war.

The SECRETARY read the report, which com-
menced by congratulating the delegates on the
great success attending the proceedings on the 3d
inst. Having given a general summary of the pro-
ceedings of that day, and the meeting at St.
James's-hall on the evening of the 4th inst., it
went on to notice the remarkable absence of the
metropolitan members from the latter meeting,
declaring such absence to be an insult to the work-
ing men of London, and calling upon those mem-
bers to give a satisfactory explanation for their ab-
sence, failing which steps would be taken to oppose
their re-election upon the next dissolution of Par-
liament. The report then went on to repudiate the
language made use of by several of the speakers un-
connected with the trades, at the Beaufort House
Grounds, and recommended that the present organi-
sation of the trades and friendly societies should be
kept intact in the event of another demonstration
being deemed necessary. He concluded by announc-
ing that a claim for special damages had been sent
in by the committee to the lessee and freeholder of
the Ashburnham Grounds for refusing the use of
those grounds for the purposes of the meeting ; and
a strong censure on the police commissioners for
withholding the promised aid of the police at the en-
trance to the Beaufort House Grounds.

The CHAIRMAN impressed upon the meeting the
necessity of the delegates keeping up the present
organisation until a satisfactory measure of Reform
had passed through Parliament, and suggested that
arrangements should be made with the prominent
trades for holding a general conference of delegates
from all the trades in the kingdom at an early period
in the ensuing year ; and that arrangements should
be made, if necessary, for the trades unionists in
the manufacturing districts to march to London on
a given day to hold a national mass meeting.
The suggestion of the chairman was received with
loud cheers ; and upon the motion of the delegate
from the hatters, seconded by a delegate from the
plasterers, the secretary was ordered to write to the
various trades and the trades councils in the United
Kingdom, inviting them to send delegates to Lon-
don to organise a national demonstration early in
the ensuing year, and that the meeting should stand
adjourned to that night three weeks to receive the
replies.
Some financial business having been transacted,
the meeting then adjourned.

RICHMOND.

Plaudit continues to keep healthy and to go in splendid
form, and it is all fudge about his bad feet, round joints,
and such like idle objections, being impediments to Wat-
son properly preparing him. He gives his trainer no un-
easiness ; on the contrary, the Belle Isle establishment
already set the Two Thousand and the Derby down as
foregone conclusions. Strathconan led the Derby pet a
mile and a quarter rattling this morning ; and Rose re-
sumed work with Newland, she, too, moving freely.
Lozenge led Elvire, Louisa, and Blairgowrie in similar
exercise ; and Dagmar schooled Virtue. Fat Bob galloped
a mile and a half ; he does the fastest work of all. Zenabia
is cantering.
