THE CHANGES OF TILE WEATHER.

It has often been said that Englishmen would be
quite at a loss in general conversation were it not for
the never-failing topic supplied by the- vagaries of
the weather. According to careful and. laborious
students of the laws of • British climatology, we are
shortly to witness a thorough change in the aspects
of the present season, and the long-continued
mild and rainy weather is to be succeeded by
a more than usually persistent term .of cold.
It has been remarked that mild and rainy
winters are almost invariably more stormy
than cold ones ; the reason being that, as the Gulf
Stream brings genial airs, so also it brings storms.
During this month of December we have certainly
found a mild. season accompanied' by tempest, since
not merely on land and along our shores, but far
across the Atlantic, destructive gales, have raged with
a persistence and fury rarely known. The month
has been the stormiest on record, and it is interesting
to note that the prevailing direction of the wind
illustrates one •f the recognised peadiarities of
British weather. Whenever there has been an
unusual prevalence of easterly or north-easterly
winds, the south-west wind, when it sets in,
blows with equal . persistence, and as in the
autumn there was a long eontinuawa of
easterly winds, sowelave lately had a series of south-
westerly gales. ;Unfortunately, this theory prepares
us for a prolonged infliction of the unpopular north-
easter, and the weather-wise foretell a rapidly-ap-
proaching change in the character of the Weather..

The accounts of some of the storms which have
visited these islands throw Our mOdern disasters, serious
as some of them have been, into the shade.

had seldom been passed by the dwellerain crowded
streets. In November 1703 one of .the most fearful
storms on record took place. Eighttliousp,nd lives were
destroyed by floods. Twelve men-ofwar were lost
in sight of land, with 1,800 men. London sustained,
it was said, a damage of two iiiillions.,4hile in Kent
alone 17,000 trees were uprooted. It was during
this storm that the second Eddystone lighthouse was
entirely swept away, Winstanley, the builder, who
had boasted that it could defy any storm, being inside
it at the time.

STATE OF TRADE.

BELFAST, Dec. 29.—Flax—Supplies in our
markets during the past week scarcely reached the
ordinary average : demand fair, prices without
change. Yarns—Business transacted limited,
chiefly owing to the Christmas holidays. Trans-
actions on English and Scotch account limited ;
some orders have appeared from the Continent;
prices firm ; stocks moderate. Handloom Linens,
brown—Heavy linens and cambric handkerchiefs
are in good request ; stocks small. A fair demand
exists for light linens for bleaching, and cloth for
dyeing and hollands ; stocks small, prices of the
former slightly advanced. Rather more doing in
diapers and damasks; prices without change. Power-
loom—A steady demand exists for light linens for
bleaching and heavy linens, prices very firm ; stock
small; cloth suitable for the foreign clothing trade,
and cambric handkerchiefs are in fair request ;
prices without change. An improvement in the
demand has become perceptible in diapers, and
cloth for dyeing and hollands, prices firm. Bleached
and finished Linens—Home trade is in a healthy
state ; orders to a fair amount have been placed for
delivery early next year. Although a moderate de-
man' existed for Continental account, the demand
could not be said to be active. Some orders have
been placed hers on American account ; advises
from that quarter continue to be discouraging ;
prices steady, and stocks give no indication of
increase.

NARROW ESCAPE OF A RAILWAY' PORTER. --011

to keep hold of the carriage, and hung on till the tram
reac;.ed the King's-cross station. He was taken to the
_Royal Free Hospital, where it was found thal the actual
injuries he had received were light, although he had
sustained a severe shaking in the course of his dangerous

aMprtcA,

The recent case of lynching in Indiana Las given rise to
much excitement in Canada. It will be remembered that
a gaol at New Albany was broken into by " vigilance
committee," and several men taken from.tlie custody of the
sheriff and hanged. Two of these victims had been given
up by the Canadian authorities, upon the solemn pledge
that they should have a fair trial, and, if found innocent,
be returned to Canada. Public opinion in the colony
is now loudly demanding that the detention and punish-
ment of the person concerned in this outrage be claimed
from the United States Government. It is feared, says
the Times correspondent, that this lynching case will
seriously embarrass •the negotiations on the Alabama
claims.

The house of Representatives has appointed a committee
to inquire into the charges of bribery in connection with
that admirable bargain, the purchase of Alaska from the
Russian Government. The allegations are that a portion
of the purchase-money was used to pay certain newspapers
to get up a "public sentiment" in favour of the purchase.
One case of this k nd has been proved, the Washington
Chronicle being the journal implicated ; but it is not
thought that much more will be revealed.
It is generally believed that Mr. Caleb Cushing has been
sent to Europe not to negotiate for the purchase of Cuba,
but to " help " Mr. Reverdy Johnson in the matter of the
Alabama claims. The American Ambassador has alarmed
both the public and the State Department. Mr. Gushing
is a Democrat, in favour of slavery, and was a Northern
supporter of the South during the civil war..

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH- STREET.

A. BARRISTER CIIARGED WITH ASSAULTING A
CONSTABLE.—Mr. James Beard Moffatt, barrister,
of Essex-court, Temple, was charged before Mr.
Knox with being drunk and disorderly and assault-
ing police-constable Andrew Davidson, 153 C.

Davidson said that about five o'clock that
morning he was at the corner of C.aubourne-street,
when he heard cries of " Police" iu the direction
of Leicester-square, and on going into Bear-street
he found the prisoner and another gentleman
amongst several prostitutes making a great noise,
pushing the doors and ringing the bells; He re-
quested the prisoner to go away quietly, but he re-
fused to go, stating that he would not be ordered
about the streets by a - policeman, and
struck him on the chest, further remarking that
he (the constable) could not do as ho liked
now that old Dicky Mayne was dead, and as the
prisoner would not go away, he took him into
custody.
The prisoner said he was certain he did not hit
the constable.

Air. Knox said the prisoner, from his position,
ought to know better than to have acted as he had
done, he not being like one of the poor wretched
creatures brought before him. He would have to
ay a flue of 20s.

,MISCELtANIi,'OUS NEWS.

THE CESSION OF GIBRALTAR.
The Gibraltar controversy begins to be exciting.
It was first started by an acknowledged organ of the
late Ministry, and we pointed out at the time the
significant fact that the restoration of this strong-
hold should be discussed, still more that it should be
recommended, by a Conservative journal. When the
Conservatives went out of office the discussion was
transferred to the Liberal journals, a fact which
would seem to imply that the cession is really
under deliberation at the Foreign Office, and that
Lord Clarendon, no less than Lord Stanley, desires to
sound public opinion. Recently, Admiral George
Grey has recommended the surrender of Gibraltar
on the condition of receiving Ceuta in exchange.
But several correspondents have shewn that this
would be a most unprofitable bargain. "R.. A.,"
writing to the Times, points out that every argument
which can be adduced for our giving up Gibraltar
would exist with a fourfold force for giving
up Ceuta. The climate of Ceuta is infinitely
worse than that of Gibraltar ; the place would be
more difficult to hold ; we should infallibly
get into a quarrel with the Moors, perhaps with the
French, did we establish ourselves in Africa. The
anchorage at Ceuta is thoroughly bad, and could be
rendered safe only by a large ependiture of money.
Finally, " R. A." is one of those who cannot sacrifice
the " inseparable union of this stronghold with the
glorious annals of the past." This line of argument
would be considered good so far as the question of
Ceuta v. Gibraltar was concerned ; but to those who
think that a nation's true glory consists not in the
victories of brute force, but in the triumph of moral
principle—who think that our voluntary evacuation
of Abyssinia was more glorious than our brilliant
march to Magclala—the consideration last mentioned
by " R. A." will be wholly without weight.

faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
