Princess of Wales in the Mediterranean, will steam
out of Plymouth harbour to Spithead this mall;
ing, and make a preliminary trial of her machiner7o9
preparatory to sailing for Malta, &c. The 0131 d,
deck of the frigate has been entirely appropria%,
from the galleys aft, to cabins for the accoanne
tion of their Royal Highnesses and suite, and the
whole is very elegantly yet chastely fitted. All 'e
boats belonging to the ship carry on their bows t,og
Prince's plume of feathers and their accompenr"o
motto, with the exception of those devoted to I'l3'ci
personal service of their Royal Highnesses, ao,
they carry the royal arms on a shield, richlY etea
blazoned. A steam lifeboat cutter, built and -t"of

A. PIANO KEY WARMER.—Some ingenious Pv-vor!
has invented and patented a piano and organ key mar
0135
the design of which is to keep the keys of the instrti— of
from chilling the fingers of the player. I can tell 1P;03
a piano and organ key warmer which is very siulPbeeo
effective, though I am not aware that it has ever
patented. It consists of a roasted potato. For marl is
ters past I have known it to be used by many 11';.,-1
divers places. The roasted potato, wrapped in 5 "101'
flannel, is taken to church in a small bag, from vill°110; tta
is brought out when needed, to be held in the hands,,-Ditlii,
fair lady who acts as the unpaid organist or harn3'
player. Fingering the icy keys of the organ in
church on a winter's day i 3 certainly a chilling Pc'r.„..efo
auco ; and there are some who read this may thane Tor
the hint of the roasted potato. It will retain its
ing the service. One trial will prove the fact, Bs t"
vertising grocers say.—Once a Week.

Great inconvenience has been experienced in the
half-monthly settlements at the Stock Exchange in
the foreign department, through the practice of
adjusting differences by the taking in or lending
upon stock instead of by tickets as in the railway
share settlements. The question has been once or
twice brought before the committee, and yesterday
it Was resolved that the arrangement shall hereafter
he by tickets.
There was a report yesterday that an injunction
had been obtained against the Metropolitan Dis-
trict Railway restraining the directors from opening
the line. This turned out to be incorrect, but it
transpired that proceedings had taken place before
Vice-Chancellor MalMs in connection with the
subject, the application being made by the gover-
nors of the poor of Emanuel Hospital. It was de-
ciped on the claim for land that the directors must
deposit £10,475, with interest at 5 per cent., in the
London and Westminster Bank.
Up to Monday, Dec. 21, 673 miles of the French
Atlantic cable had been manufactured and certified
by the engineers.
The Stock Exchange committee have appointed
Monday, the 28th inst., a special settling day on the
Allotment Scrip of the £2,000,000 new 5 per cent.

sula Railway Company, which is to be officially
quoted.

the reduction of the capital of the International
Financial Society to £1,500,000, divided into
150,000 shares of £lO each, with £5 paid thereon.
The order may not possibly be drawn up before the
holidays, so that the actual registration of the re-
duction may perhaps be delayed for two or three
Weeks ; but, apart from these technicalities, the
matter is complete.

Barometrical pressures continue extremely low over these islands:
the increase since yesterday has been very slight in Scotland and
Ireland, whilst a diminution is reported on the Channel coast and in
France. In the S.E. the fall during the night has been rather quick.
At Nairn, where the pressure is lowest, the reading is OTin. below
that at Rochefort. On the Scotch coast temperature is a little
higher, but at other stations it has fallen. Winds yesterday were
south-westerly, and blew rather strongly on the Irish coast and in
the Channel, increasing to a gale from the S.W. and W. on the coast
of France. In the S. of these islands winds have veered to the west-
ward, and are moderate, but on our E. coast are light from the S.W.
On the coast of France it is still blowing hard from S.W. On the
Channel coast heavy rain has fallen. The sky is clear in the N. of
Scotland, but on other coasts it is overcast, whilst rain is falling in
France. Hail is reported from Valencia. The sea is still nearly
calm. The weather does not look more settled than it did yesterday
