Accounts from Rome of the 18th state that it bas
been determined not to garrison the Roman States

fears their contact with the Liberals of the Roman

REWARD FOR THE APPREHENSION OF MRS.
SLOANE.—We have received a letter, signed "I. D.,
Vauxhall" (which shall appear to-morrow), suggest-
ing the propriety of offering a public reward of 501.
or 1001. for the apprehension of Mrs. Sloane, and
inclosing 21. 7s. 2d., "being the amount subscribed
by his fellow-workmen for this purpose," and request-
ing that should the object for which the above was
subscribed be already obtained, the amount should be
banded over for the benefit of Jane Wilbred. We
entirely agree with the writer in thinking that "it
would be a national offence to allow any person to
escape charged with so grave an offence without a
thorough investigation into its merits," and consider
that the working men of London have done them-
selves great honour by taking the initiative in this
work of justice and humanity, and have put to shame
those whose duty it was to have done so long since.

MARRIAGE IN TRIPOLI, BARBARY.—On the 28th
November, Don Joaquin de Zugasti, Vice-Consul of her
Catholic Majesty, was married in the British Consulate by
the licence and in the presence of G. W. Crowe, Esq., her
Britannic Majesty's Agent and Consul• General, to Ann,
eldest daughter of the late John Dickson, Esq., surgeon in
the British Royal Navy. The marriage was celebrated by
the Superior of the Catholic Mission according to the rites
and ceremonies of the Church, under dispensation from his
Holiness the Pope, the bride being a Protestant. This is
the first marriage which has taken place in Tripoli, ac-
cording to the provisions of the recent Act of Parliament
for "facilitating the marriage of British subjects abroad.

THE RECTORY OF ST. MARY'S, SOUTHAMPTON.—
This valuable living, recently vacated by the resignation of
the Earl of Guildford, has been presented by the Bishop of
the diocese to the Venerable Archdeacon Wigram (not
Wrangharn, as stated by a contemporary last week), who
will shortly enter on his duties. Arrangements are in pro-
gress for dividing the immense parish into four or five dis-

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

We regret to hear that the gallant and much re-
spected superintendent of tho Dover packet service, Capt.
Balduck, has sustained a serious calamity, in the almost
sudden decease of Mrs. Baldock. •

Assistant-Surgeon John Weir Duncan, of the Persian,
12, Commander Bulmsn, died of fever, at sea, Sept.
22, off Grey Town, Mosquito. He was only son of
Henry Duncan, Esq., of Comeley Garden, Glasgow.

THE MEDITERRAgEAN. -
We have intelligence from 'Malta to the 22d inst. A
correspondent says the fleet under the command of Vice-
Admiral Sir William Parker, Bart., G.C. 8., has not
arrived.

The Medusa steam-packet, with the London mails of
thj 7th inst., entered Malta harbour at one P.M. on the
13th, having made one of her good runs from Marseilles.
She left on the same day for Alexandria, and may be
momentarily expected on her return. To Alexandria
she conveyed the India mail and 51 passengers, two
infants, and seven servants. or the gentlemen, six
were obliged to be content to sleep upon or under the
table for want of accommodation, whilst the ladies' cabin,
with 16 uncurtained berths, was rendered more agreeable
to its occupants by the introduction of the female ser-
vants to the number already there, and to whom the
sofas were assigned as dormitories.
The Terrible, 21, steam-frigate, Captain Hope, C. 8.,
and Scourge, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Lord M. Kerr,
are at Malta.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's boats arrive
in Malta about the 13th of each month, generally after
the departure of the ltostend Company's French steamer
for Marseilles. The Rostend boats run only once a
month. Now, if her Majesty's packets should be allowed
fridciallgamaikaanctioisula thb-e tgr'a"ins'mithtredugul'ttoudn,swawn fo
Lom!
as the mails, which leave Malta about six hours after the
arrival of the company's vessel.
The difficulty does not exist to such an extent on the
return passage from Marseilles to Malta, as the French
Government packets take goods on freight (a very heavy
one, however). The want of conveyance is much felt
between Malta and Alexandria, and Malta and the
lonian Islands, and it will probably continue so long as
the commercial enterprise of the British is thwarted by
the mails being conveyed by Government packets instead
of by mercantile steamers, to which freight would be an
assisting revenue.

LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1850.

Notwithstanding the natural tendency of the
human mind to look hopefully to the future, there is
something irresistibly mournful connected with the
last day of the year. Ere entering upon a new
period of timefraught with the happiest anticipations,
we cast " a longing, lingering Nook behind,"
while, perchance, we contrast the promises of the last
January with the very different realities witnessed
by the succeeding months. Very few can listen to
the midnight chimes of the thirty-first of December
without re-echoing that lamentation of the Roman
EMPEROR over a lost day, and many lost days—very
few can witness the close of a year of life without a
sigh for what it has failed to bestow, or perhaps a
tear for -what it has taken away.
Both as a nation and as individuals, we have had
cause for sorrow daring the past twelvemonth, but,
thank GOD ! we have had cause for rejoicing also.
Not again have we had to mourn over the fearful
ravages of pestilence, yet the hand of death has been
sadly visible. A royal Prince- has been added to the
happy group in Windsor Castle, and a royal Prince
has been added to the silent dead at Kew. Less
illustrious by birth, but more illustrious in position—
illustrious by the conspicuous place he held in life,
and yet more illustrious by the heartfelt and uni-
versal lams-ntation poured upon his tomb—
Sir ROBRRT PEEL, since last January, has
passed from among us. Saddest among the
days of 1850, the 21 of July will be long re-
membered with regret. Aided to such themes of
common sorrow, the individual experience of most of
us can too readily suggest ample reason for regret
over the past year, even while, undismayed by
disappointments, we turn hopefully towards its
dawning successor. Seldom has the name of a coming
year been so frequently upon the lips of every one,
and the theme not so much of speculative conjecture,
but of assured gratulation, as that of 1851, the year
of the great Exhibition. Cause, indeed, shall we
have for rejoicing next December if one-half

CHRISTMAS BERRIES FOR THE YOUNG

AND GOOD.
SILVER BLOSSOMS TO PRODUCE
GOLDEN FRUIT.

Two delightful children's Christmas books, gorge-
ously bound, bountifully illustrated, and printed in
unusually large type, thereby rendering them doubly
welcome to young reabers. Poems and prose tales
are mingled in both volumes, mostly on themes relat-
ing to this season of the year, and all are delightfully
adapted for the young and good, in whose tender
minds they are likely to produce not only silver blos-
soms but golden fruit.

THE DOCTOR'S LITTLE DAUGHTER. By
_Eliza Meteyard (Silverpen). _

Few story books are -likely to prove more charm-
ing, not only to the young, but to all who can ap-
preciate the natural and the truthful, than the vary
delight ful history of Alice Tyne, the doctor's little
daughter. It is not so much a story as a series of
stories of which this volume is composed, having for
its object the development of a young child's mind.
It affords a refreshing glimpse of nature, and truth,
and beauty seen through that pure medium.
There is a genial and enthusiastic spirit and an un-
affected simplicity about the writings of " Silverpen,"
which proclaim them to be the outpourings of a feel-
ing heart. Whether as a Christmas gift, or a Mid-
summer's tale, the " Doctor's Little Daughter " will
be welcome to old and young. " Truth," says the
authoress, " is a divine and holier thing than beauty."
It is so, and, moreover, it is beautiful also; and the
volume which contains this excellent saying is worthy
of all commendation, inasmuch as it is both beautiful
and truthful.

GERMAN Y.

llAssrsrrLuG and HATNAII, protected by a strong
military escort, arrived at Cassel on the 28th.
Prince SCIIWARZIENBERG and Baron MANTEUFFEL
arrived at Berlin from Dresden on the 28th. The
KING gave a grand dinner on that day to Prince
SCIIWARZENIIMIG. The Prince was to return to
Dresden on the 30th, until which day the Conference
would be occupied with preliminary proceedings.
The address with which Prince SCRWAIIMNBERG
opened the Conference has been published. The first
part of it is a recognition of the advantages Ger-
many has derived from the constitution of the old
Bund, the chief of which was the preservation of
peace for more than 30 years ; though he contended
it had done much good in other respects, which some
had misunderstood and o!hers had not understood at
all, because it had not worked according to their
views, or bad not produced all the good
of which it contained within itself the germ. He
contended that the bases on which the Band rested
were not only sound and true, but that they were
the only ones adapted for a system which was to in-
clude a community of states like Germany. All at-
tempts to construct another system on an entirely
new basis had fdiled. At the same time he recog-
nized the defects of the old constitution, one of the
chief of which was the weakness of the executive ;
the great necessity was to strengthen it by regula-
tions that would enable it for the future to uphold
the monarchic principle, and to " oppose a dam to
the torrent of revolution."

In the sitting of the 26th, under the presidence of
Baron DI BELTS; the Minister for Foreign Affairs of
Saxons, four committees were appointed, to whom
were referred the revision of the laws of the alliance
of 1815.

S I A NOVEL.
0 0 D.
" The author, we are convinced, 1., young, otherwise we could
hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
half of his heroes and heroines. He is a 'writer of genius, inspired
by a high standard of morality and religion, ana by a laudable love
of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan-
guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions
en the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in
which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays
matters that are the prima mobilla of the actions which cha-
acterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he
has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraells, Man-
items, and Smythes."—Observer.
" Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed-
ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great
good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en
gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha-
racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we
have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have
said. The other ladies who play conspicuous parts in the tale are
Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Ocrdon, a wild and
impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia
Maitland, the noblest and beat of them all."—Morning Post.

HASSENPFLUG and HAYNAU, protected by a strong
military escort, arrived at Cassel on the 28th.
Prince SCHWARZENBERG and Baron MANTEUFFEL
arrived at Berlin from Dresden on the 28th. The
KING gave a grand dinner on that day to Prince
SCHWARZENBERG. The Prince was to return to
Dresden on the 30th, until which day the Conference
would be occupied with preliminary proceedings.
The address with which Prince SCHWARZENBERG
opened the Conference has been published. The first
part of it is a recognition of the advantages Ger-
many has derived from the constitution of the old
Bund, the chief of which was the preservation of
peace for more than 30 years ; though he contended
it had done much good in other respects, which some
had misunderstood and others had not understood at
all, because it had not worked according to their
views, or had not produced all the good
of which it contained within itself the germ. He
contended that the bases on which the Bund rested
were not only sound and true, but that they were
the only ones adapted for a system which was to in-
clude a community of states like Germany. All at-
tempts to construct another system on an entirely
new basis had failed. At the same time he recog-
nized the defects of the old constitution, one of the
chief of which was the weakness of the executive ;
to strengthen it by regula-
tionsenableas it for the future to uphold
the greatthat necessity
would
the monarchic principle, and to " oppose a dam to
the torrent of revolution."

In the sitting of the 26th, under the presidence of
Baron DE BEUST, the Minister for Foreign Affairs of
Saxony, four committees were appointed, to whom
were referred the revision of the laws of the alliance
of 1815.

The Rev. VAUGHAN THOMAS, in the course of the

sentiments expressed by Lord Lyttelton. They
came with peculiar grace and force from a distin-

glory of their college was its Christian character.
They were a spectacle to the rest of the kingdom, for
until they set the example theology formed no branch
of study in any similar institution,
The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks
to Lord Lyttelton, which was duly acknowledged.

deep as could be made for the jawbone. This not
having effected Ve death of the poor man, who
no doubt ircap4de of resistance, the murderer pro-
bably made another cut, commencing at one side of
the neck and continuing it across the throat to the
other side of the ne..k, cutting the windpipe and the
carotid ::rteries., and neArly severing the head from the
body. In consequence of the deceased not making
his appearance on the Saturday morning at his usual
time to collect the toll, two of his neighbours, Mr.
William Crossley, butcher, and Mr. William Speak,
blacksmith, of King-street, went to the toll-house,
the door of which was found shut but not fastened.
They entered and called out, but no one answering,
they sent a boy up-stairs named Greenwood, about
nine years of age, who came in, and who usually
fetched milk for deceased from a neighbouring house,
and told him to awaken Smith. The boy returned
immediately in great fright, saying " Jemmy bad
cut his throat. Crossley and Speak then went
up-stairs, and found the deceased kneeling with
one knee on the bed and the other leg off the side
of the bed, the head and upper part of the body
hanging over the bed, and the body cold. It does
not appear that plunder could be the object of
the miscreant who has committed this bloody
murder, since the money collected for toll was left
untouched, besides some other money, the savings of
the murdered man. Various are the reports current
in the neighbourhood relative to the motives actuating
the murderer to commit this horrid crime, but up to
the present it is involved in complete mystery. On
Saturday forenoon, county Police Sergeant Heap,
stationed at Todtnorden, apprehended a man named
Halliwell, a tailor, at Burnley, who had been seen
in the neighbourhood on Friday evening, and also at
an early hour on Saturday morning. Mr. Brierley,
superintendent of the detective police on the Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire• Railway, apprehended a labourer
named Greenwood, about 22 years of age. Green-
wood resides in the' neighbourhood, and both men are
suspected of being concerned in the murder. Halli-
well's cap appears, as if it had been saturated with
blood. An inquest was held before Mr. J. Dyson,
coroner of the district, in the school-room of Mytholm
Church, at ten A.m.:on Monday, which was adjourned
till Monday next, when it is hoped the authorities
will have been successful in obtaining some clue to
the detection of the murderer. The instrument with
which the murder has been effected, notwithstanding
diligent search has been made for it, has not yet been
discovered.

THE AFRICA CUNARD LINE STEAMER.—Mr.
Moody, ins; ector of shipwrights at Woolwich Dockyard, has
returned from Liverpool after an official inspection of this
fine vessel while she made an experimental trial of her
speed from the Liverpool Docks to the Light• ship, a dis-
tance of about twenty miles. The result of the trial was
an average speed of thirteen knots per hour. The vessel
has been fitted in a style of great magnificence, and some
idea may be formed of her magnitude when it is known
that she is of 2,672 24-100 tons burden, or 825 tons larger
than the Terrible steam••frigate of 21 guns, one of the largest
t.team-vessels in the Royal Navy. The Africa was built by
Messrs. Steele and Son, at Greenock, and fitted with engines
of 800-horse power, by Napier, of Glasgow. She ills a
breadth of beam of 40 feet 3 inches, and a depth of hold
of 27 feet 9 inehes•, and is supplied with four cutters, one
life-boat, one pinnace, and one gig, and two long 12-pounder
brass guns for signals.

VESSEL FOR CALIFORNIA.—On Monday the Queen
of Sheba, a splendid new ship, left the Leith Docks with a
full cargo and a few passengers for San Francisco. This is
the second vessel which has sailed from this port for that
quarter. The Queen of Sheba, besides a large quantity of
miscellaneous goods, has on board about 300 tons of coals.
Ou Monday, a beautiful little steamboat, between 30 and 40
feet long, steamed over from Belfast on purpose to be taken
on board as freight, but although 1301. was offered to take
her out, the captain found it impos.tible to receive her on
board ; in fact, large quantities of goods for which she had no
room have been lett lying on.the quay. —Nor tlt British Mail.
