DUTCH MAJL.

THE HAGUE, I)Ec. 21.—The Bulletin of the Laws
publishes a royal decree of the 16th of this month, of the
following tenor :—Afterdrawing by lot a capital of 300,000
florins of bonds, at three-and-a half per cent., of the
late Syndicate, hearing interest, shall be repaid on the
31st of December, 1845, issued by virtue of the law of
27th May, 1830, and conformably by the royal decree
of the Ist of June following. In consequence a sum of
300,000 florins must be inserted in the 13th article of
chapter Ix. of the budget for 1845.
We have received by Java journals of the 10th of Sep-
tember, the following article, dated Batavia, Sept. 2:—
" On the 20th of July, between half-past one and two
o'clock in the afternoon, some very smart shocks of an
earthquake were felt at Amboina. In the evening
of the same day there were several slighter
shocks, and in the evening of the 21st of July,
between half-past six and seven o'clock, two severe
shocks. On the 22d of this month there was a succes-
sion of slight shocks. The Government•house at Batoe
Gadja has suffered Si much that it must be abandonezl,
and the military hospital has sustained some injury, but
not so much as to make it necessary to evacuate it.
Private dwellings, on the whole, have suffered but
little. The shocks ware felt to come from the Kest,
and were mostly vertical.

One of the Hagae journals publishes a letter from
Rotterdam, which states that fifty ships, laden with the
produce of our col,3nial possessions, are expected in that
city towards the month of February next. If the ice
does not impede the arrival of these vessels, the port of
Rotterdam will be more animated than it perhaps ever
was before. Most of the laws lAtely passed by the
States-General are now promulgated by the Government
in the Bulletin of the Laws.

Lord Brougham, it is now understood, will not
arrive at Grafton-street from his chateau, near Cannes, until
the second week in January.
MELTON MOWBRAY.--The Earl of Wilton has ar-
rived at Egerton-lodge, his hunting-box here, from the
Duke of Beaufort's seat, in Gloucestershire. Viscount and
Viscountess Newport, the Hon. Colonel and Mrs. Anson, and
the Hon. Captain Cecil Forester, had arrived previously at
the lodge, the Noble Earl having given up his residence to
them while the Countess and family are in Italy. The Quorn
hounds have had excellent sport since the commencement of
the hunting season. A host of distinguished liimrods are
located here for the advantages of the chase afforded in this
neighbourhood, as the Duke of Rutland's foxhounds are such
close neighbours that there is now to be a meet within a
few miles of this spot. Lord Forester, Lord Charles Man-
ners, the Marquis of Granby, and Lord John Manners, have
had sonic tine exciting runs with the ?Duke's famed pack.
We have residing at Melton, Lord A. St. Mau., Col. and Mrs.
Wyndham, Lord Wallas, Count Batthyany, Captain Oliver,
Mr. W. G. Melville, Mr. W. S. Crawfold, Mr. C. P.
Leslie, Mr. T. W. Coke, Mr. J. Leslie, &c. Sir James Mus-
grave is daily expected to join the hunt.—Midland Counties
Advertiser.

Her Royal highness the Princess Sophia, who
continues to labour under deprivation of sight, is passing the
holidays at Kensington. The Princess, who continues to en-
joy good health, visied her Royal sister, the Duchess of
Gloucester, at Gloucester House, on Christmas-day.
The Earl and Countess of Chesterfield's party, at
Bretby Park, during the holidays, is limited to a family
circle. The Noble Earl, who, it is understood, has relin-
quished his intention of visiting the Continent this winter,
will occasionally entertain parties of sporting noblemen and
gentlemen at Gedling Lodge, Nottinghamshire, during the
shooting season.
The Earl and Countess of Dalhousie are at Strath-
fieldsaye, on a visit to the Duke of Wellington.
The Earl of Ellenborough has left town for Southam
House, the, Noble Earl's seat in Gloucestershire.
LORD MORPETH.—The sheets of the requisition to
Lord Morpeth were yesterday received in Leeds from most
of the polling districts, but from several of the districts they
had not arrived prior to our going to press. Within one
day (for on Thursday being Christmas-day, no names were
applied for) six thousand eight hundred and two electors
have signed the requisition, exclusive of those on the sheets
not yet received.—Leeds Mercury of this day.
A painful rumour prevails to-day respecting the
Exeter manager, Mr. Harvey, and his company of come-
dians. They left Jersey in a packet last Friday, and have
not since been heard of. The theatre was to open to-night ;
but at half-past two this afternoon, we find, on inquiry, that
no tidings haul reached the theatre. Great excitement pre-
vails---it is feared they have perished in the gale of Sunday.—

PERILOUS POSITION OF THE GLENALBYN STEAMER.
—The Glenalbyn steamer, at present plying, in room of the
Vesta, between Newcastle and Leith, appears to have suffered
considerably during the severe hurricane of Saturday night.
This fine vessel left Leith that evening, about eight o'clock,
with a very full cargo, and an average number of passengers,
the wind blowing moderately at the time. During the night
the gale increased to a complete hurricane, and on Sunday
morning, when off Berwick, the vessel became quite unma-
nageable, and drifted about at the mercy of the elements.
Th sea had risen to an extraordinary height, and
being greatly agitated by the tempestous wind from
the north-east, which swept over the deck with
terrible violence, the vessel was also found to
have shipped nearly five feet of water, and the engines
were discovered to be unworkable. In these perilous circum-
stances, the captain wisely resolved to "lay to" till the wind
either abated or veered round to a different point, and the
crew and several cf the passengers applied themselves in a
vigorous manner to the pumps, and likewise lightened the
ship by throwing the deck cargo overboard. After remaining
in this frightful position for several hours, the passengers
being, all the time, in the greatest imaginable alarm, the
wind providentially chopped round from north-east to north-
west, thus enabling the vessel to pursue her course. Soon
after, the engines resumed working, and although the sea
still continued high, the vessel made rapid headway, and
happily reached Newcastle about eight o'clock on Sunday
evening, having been full twenty-four hours on the passage.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT THE HANS Towx
BREWERY, CHELSEA.—Late on Wednesday evening, Mr.
T. Wakley, M. P., coroner, held an inquest at the George
public-house, Lower George-street, Sloane-square, Chel-
sea, on view of the body of James Gilpin, aged 16 years,
who was killed under the following singular circumstan-
ces. It appeared from the evidence gone into that the
deceased had been in the employ of Mr. William Druce,
of the Hans Town Brewery, Lower George-street,
Sloane-square, for nearly the last twelve months. as an
assistant in the stables. On the afternoon of Monday
last, about 5 o'clock, deceased went into the stable for the
purpose of assisting the chaff cutter, who was employed
in the loft over the stables. On entering the stables, the
deceased heard the man having charge of a mill adjoining
the stables, and from which the only entrance is, call to
the horse which was working the wheel of the mill, to go
on, and deceased went and drove the horse on, from
which time he was not again seen alive. About twenty
minutes afterwards, deceased was missed, and on search
being made for him in the building in which the horse
was still pursuing his labour, the deceased was found
lying on his back in the horse's track, which must have
passed over him while making every circle. Deceased
was quite dead, and his body, which presented a dread-
fully mutilated appearance, was removed to the counting
house, where the jury viewed it. It is supposed that
the deceased, after urging the horse on, followed him
round a portion of the circle and then stood still, when,
not being sufficiently out of the way of the butt end of
the beam to which the horse was attached, it struck him
violently on the face, throwing him backwards, and in-
sensible, when the horse, which makes about six circles
in a minute, must have passed over him upwards of
a hundred times, crushing the bones of both his body
and face. The jury returned a verdict of Accidental
death.

CHELSEA IMFROVMENTS.—Among the numerous
and vast improvements of late, and
in at present in course of
being carried into effect in the parish of Chelsea, an impor-
tant one is to be made the approach from the King's-
road to the Royal Hospital. A contract has been concluded
by a party with the authorities for the entire and immediate
removal of the numerous lofty trees on both sides of the
avenue, the whole of which are of the description known
generally as the horse chesnut, and are very aged and shat-
tered, having, it is supposed, been planted in the reign of
Charles, at the time the hospital or college was first founded.
Several of them have already been rased to the ground, and
so soon as their entire demolition shall be completed, it is
intended to plant some young shrubs in their room, and lay-
out the whole space as an ornamental garden and pro-
menade, for the use of the public. A handsome terrace of
houses is in course of erection on the east side of the avenue.
on the site of the extensive nursery garden formerly on the
spot, and when the whole is completed an unrestricted view
of the college will be obtainable from thehigh read, which
has not hitherto been the case.
The Directors of the Midland Railway (says a
Correspondent) have resolved that the sum. of 15s. a week be
allowed to the family of the late Mr. Stubbs, policeman, of
Leeds, who lost his life in the late accident, till the youngest
child is ten years of age ; after that 10s. a week to be allowed
until the youngest child reaches the age of fourteen, to be
paid weekly in the Leeds pay bill.
The lighthouse fixed by Mr. Bush on the Goodwin
Sands has disappeared. the exact time of its sinking
in the sands is not known, as the fog prevented observa-
tion for two or three days.
WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, DEC. 26.—We have
moderate supplies of all grain this week. There is a little
more business passing in wheat, and in some instances an
advance of Is. per quarter is obtained. Fine
barley sells
freely at former prices, common sorts in slow request.
Beans of all descriptions fully as dear. Oats and shelling
each maintain the prices of Friday last. Malt in fair re-
quest,. wit bout alteration in value.
An ordinance of the King of the French opens for
the Minister of Public Works a credit of 2,000,000 francs,
for loans and grants to the Paris and Rouen, and Rouen and
Havre Railways.

LYCEUM.
Shortly after the opening of the doors, last evening,
and leng before the rising of the curtain, the pit and
gallery of this popular place of entertainment were
crowded with an eager holiday assembly, while the
boxes at an early hour were numerously and respect-
ably filled. The bill of fare provided for the lieges,
moreover, was of no ordinary character, being the
Cricket on the Hearth, the last creation of the immor-
tal "Boz," almost fresh from the author's prolific
brain, and a new burlesque, from the experienced
hand of the writer of Aladdin, Valentine and Orson,
Whitlington and his Cat, and Cinderella, all produc-
tions of well known celebrity. The Cricket on the
Hearth, a full notice of which has already appeared in
our pages, commenced the evening's entertainments;
and though the burlesque was no doubt the great
attraction of the majority of the audience present, we
have seldom or never seen a holiday occasion in which
the audience were so soon brought under the potent
influence of the mimic spell. From the opening scene
of this Leautiful drama the noisy elements of the
congregated mass were subdued to silence, and
scarcely an interruption took place, or was a single
manifestation of impatience shown by the most
juvenile of the audience till the curtain fell. The
truthfulness, the heartiness, and simple pathos of this
genuine drama of domestic life, unassisted by the
galvanism of "intense and terrible" incidents, or
the usual high-pressure appliances of the Rad-
cliffe and Lewis school, were manifested in
no ordinary degree by the attention paid to every
incident, the applause repeatedly and enthusiastically
elicited, and the hearty appreciation by the audience
of every sentiment with a moral purpose and ennobling
aim. But our business is, at present, with the bur-
lesque, not with the Fairy Tale of Home. This
production, which has been several months in prepa-
ration, was announced as "a grand new romantic,
musical, scientific, mrostatic, and semi-equestrian
extravaganza, founded on the stories of the En-
chanted Horse and Prince Purviz and Prince-Rahman,'
in the Arabian Nights' Entertainments,' called The
Enchanted Horse or Prince Firouz Schah of Persia
and the Princess if Bengal." The piece opens with a
scene in the Arabian desert, exceedingly well exe-
cuted ; the sultry appearance of the sky, and the
naked soil, relieved here and there with patches of
burnt herbage, conveying to the mind, in a very
striking manner, the feeling:of sterility and desolation.
a caravan is discovered, which has just halted
to take refreshments, and its members, while they
discuss philosophy, also discuss something more sub-
stantial. Philoscphy in sport is made eating in
earnest; and by way of a dessert the pilgrims
amuse themselves with a dance of Almehs, which
we feel bound to say was very gracefully executed.
At this moment springs up in the wilderness, a
juggler's booth, belonging to " Oh-don't you-wish-
you-may-get-it," or as the bill otherwise expresses
it, " the downybird, or a cross between a red man
and a black leg " The juggler, personated by Mr.
K eeley, commences business in the regular showman
style, and calls the attention of the squatted pilgrims
to the wonders he has got to show them, in doing
which he commences a solo on the drum. He is
cut short in his musical and mountebank efforts by
the sudden appearance out of the drum of the Spirit
Djinn, a regular blue devil (Mr. J. W. Collier),
who tells the affrighted juggler that the spell which
bound him is broken, and that the only way in
which he (the juggler) can save himself from
slaughter is by bringing to the former the
daughters of a Schah, failing which he must him..
self fall a victim to the King of the Ghouls. The
juggler, in a quondary as to how he shall save his
bacon, is relieved by the Spirit, who, striking an
adjoining rock, separates it in twain, and discovers
the enchanted horse. The juggler is told to mount
and go in search of the prize in question, which he
does, and is borne to the Court of Babbah Schah,
King of Persia, who at this time is busy holding a con-
sultation with the learned savants of his empire as to
the best means for the advancement of science, but
more especially that of gastronomy ; the nostrums
propounded curry powder, pease-pudding, and starch
extracted from diseased potatoes, occupying a promi-
nent position. At this learned meeting Prince
Firouz Schah Prince of Persia (Mr. Keeley) makes his
appearance, and signalises himself by the introduction
of two scientific discoveries—one a machine for the
getting up of railway schemes, and translating money
in smoke, and the other a patent railway committee
steam-man, warranted to sit any length of time for the
execution of business. All these great discoveries,
however, are thrown into the shade by the arrival
of the juggler, who calls the attention of the Persian
philosophers to his flying horse. Of course the phi-
losophers deny the Indian's statements, while the
Schah believes it. At last, after some altercation, the
King consents to swap his daughter to:the juggler for
the flying horse, providing he can prove its power of
aerostation. Prince Firouz consents to put the matter
to the test, and mounts the horse, when, turning
a peg, he mounts up into the air, and the scene
changes. The next scene shows the Prince mounted
on his enchanted steed in the firmament, where in
the course of his progress he holds converse with the
lost Pleiad, and with Orion, otherwise O'Rian, about
the repeal of the union, the potato disease, and other
matters relating to Ould Ireland. This scene, which
is a very beautiful one, and exceedingly well ma-
naged, changes to the boudoir of the Princess
Chinsurah, to whom Shawl Singh (Mr. A. Wigan)
is paying his addresses, ala troubadour. Prince
Firouz arrives at this juncture on his enchanted
horse, and having introduced himself to the Princess
of Bengal, puts Shawl Singh's nose out of
joint, and sets out on an cereal voyage
on horseback with the Princess. With the
elopement of the lover and the jilting of the musical
ruler of Cashmere ends the first act. The second
opens with a Forest of Sycamores, in which the Schah
of Persia is discovered grieving for the loss of his son,
and states that perpetual hunting has been prescribed
by his medical advisers as a relief to his mind. The
great difficulty with him, however, is to follow out
the prescription, as he dolorously laments that he
cannot find any stags for sport, as even in Capel-court
scarcely one is to be found. The Schah, in a fit of
revenge, instigated by his daughter Maimouna (Miss
Villers), ties the Indian to a tree and leaves him to
perish, the juggler in the strongest manner, however,
declaring, in the true Yankee style, ,
" As a free citizan of the freest nation
I do protest against this annexation."
The hunting party leaves, and the juggler, in hourly
dread of being torn to pieces by the wild beasts, is
at last released by the Djinn, in the shape of a
Chimpanzee. At this moment the Prince Firouz,
with his fair charge, arrives on the spot per the
enchanted horse, and leaves her on a mossy bank
while he goes to apprise the Schah of his safe arrival.
In his absence she is carried off by the juggler, and
the Chimpanzee takes her place, putting on an
outer robe which she had left behind, so as to per-
sonate her. The Prince and Schah return to the
spot, but only to find they have been baulked by the
demon. Meanwhile the juggler has carried the
fair Princess Chinsurah to a mountain pass lead-
ing to the Djinn's stronghold, Castle Perilous, and
the Prince Firouz, accompanied by his sister, hav-
ing asked advice of the Pert Queen (Miss Arden), and
guided by a mammoth Tomata, follow in pursuit.

HA YMARKET.
At this theatre last night there were three pieces
produced one of them, A Cure for the Heart-
ache, was got :up and gone through in a style of
elegance and efficiency worthy of the Haymarket.
Hudson was brisk, happy, and attractive, as usual ;
and his many little gratuitous but well-timed hits
told with unmistakeable effect. Farren's best part
was his endeavours •to make a speech, in which he
was Invariably interrupted by causes the most
unexpected and annoying; but the yawning of
his audience—that is, the tailor and his son
—called forth such observations as, "Oh ! you
yawn as if you had been accustomed to hear
speeches in Parliament." Hudson also went through
his many girations of lover and grateful friend
in his own happy way; and his attempts to extricate
himself from his manifold dilemmas, in each of which
he was detected while on his knees, by him or her,
whom of all the world he would least wish or expect
to see, were such as to keep up an almost uninter-
rupted course of applause. Grandfather Whitehead
followed, and though it was a piece of short duration,
and one not containing much to interest or amuse,
yet Farren's Grandfather was such a perfect personi-
fication of the natural feelings of one placed as he was,
that it was received throughout with those marks of
favour which his " old men " cannot fail to elicit.
Then came the grand piece of the evening, The Bee
and the Orange Tree. This was got up upon the old
fairy tale of that name ; but it was got up
most exquisitely, and was made the Medium of
conveying many happy hits against the present rail-
way mania. The scene opened with a chorus from
" Old King Cole," and when it had concluded, his
Majesty announced the manner in which he meant to
portion off his royal scions, to the third of whom he
declared

"For thee, I've nothing now left but my prayers,
Unless, indeed, some forty railway shares."
Th.e dutiful son declined to lessen the royal treasury,
because, he said,
" To rob you, Sire, of such would be a crime,
We can have but one railway king, Sire, at a time."
The scene then changed to a sea-shore cave, where
an ogre lived, and lived on nothing but railway
directors, secretaries, and surveyors. This ogre,
in his metrical address to the audience, defended his
cannibal propensities upon many grounds, such as

" Senpstresses who live to die by slow decay,
May let their bones be picked in any other way."
And

" To eat up men and wives would be less cruel
Then let them slowly starve on water gruel."
Then followed a series of hits of the like kind, every
one of which was directed against the present railway
system, and all of which told admirably, and were
loudly applauded. Altogether the entertainments
afforded the highest amusement to the audience,
which was very crowded, and the novelty of the last
piece was duly appreciated.

ADEL FIJI.
The Adelphi Theatre has at this festive season
greatly extended the reputation which former success-
ful years had earned for it, for the spirited directress,
Madame Celeste, not contented with merely furnish-
ing an original pantomime to the play-going public,
has added to it the no less welcome gift of a new
historical piece of more than average merit, and in
order we suppose to give the holiday folks full value
for their money, a farce pleasantly filled up the in-
terval between the drama and the pantomime, afford-
ing the mercurial Wright, and his bulky and gifted
friend, Paul Bedford, an opportunity of approving
their well- earned position as the first of humorists,
by the plaudits and •Learty laughter of a crowded
house. Yesterday evening's amusement commenced
with the drama, entitled Ihe Lioness of the North,
or the Prisoner of Shlusselbourg. The scene is laid
in Russia, and the period chosen is that succeeding
the death of the Ist Catherine, and when Elizabeth
worthily filled the throne of Muscovy. The incidents
are in themselves few, and the interest of the piece
rather depends upon the development of the finer
passions, than on the dramatic character of the plot,

Last evening M. Jullien commenced what he terms
the " prolongation of his annual concerts," with great
éclat The overture (King Lear), by Berlioz, was
splendidly performed, and rapturously applauded, as
was, of course, Beethoven's symphony in C minor,
which followed. Signor Camillo Sivori performed
Paganini's surprising duet for two violins (without
accompaniment) in a style which excited an admi-
ration of the mechanical power attained by the pupil,
and the curious ingenuity and tireless perseverance
of the master, whilst it raised some regret that so
much taste and industry were employed to such un-
important ends. The clever, but anomalous work
was, however, applauded to the echo, and vehemently
encored. The New Polka, suggested by Mr.
Dickens's Christmas Fairy Tale, The Cricket on th,
Hearth, was in the highest degree successful. The
composition displays great ingenuity and musical

STRAND THEATRE.
A numerous audience assembled here to greet M.
Philippe on his return from his provincial tour, and
the mighty magician, by a mere wave of his wand,
performed transformations in comparison with which
the tricks of pantomimes are but as mere matters of
every-day life. We believe that during the holidays
it is the intention of Al. Philippe to give a series of
morning performances, and we know not where our
young friends can spend a morning snore agreeably
than with the mysterious M. Philippe.

ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.
It was in the highest degree gratifying to observe
wd sports, the growing tendency of the publictoctos, whichmbin wasintel-
lectuale
yesterday
illustrated improvement withby t holidaythe crowded attendance of
holiday visitors at the Polytechnic Institution. From
the hour of opening to the close, the company were
not for a minute less in number than 3,000, and every
object of curiosity in art or science was viewed even
by the youngest and humblest visitor with an evident
spirit of inquiry, which proves that the Institution,
great and magnificent as it is, has by no means
preceded the intelligence of the times. The
interesting and instructive lectures of Professor
Bachhoffner, and Dr. Ryan were listened to with
profound attention, and were invariably followed by
loud and earnest expressions of delight, which showed
that the vast and varied talents of those learned gen-
tlemen were appreciated by their unpretending
auditors. No one could come away from the lec-
ture-room without being improved in knowledge and
usefulness. The diversified experiments in national
philosophy were occasionally disturbed by bursts of
merriment, as when a •timid lady, or a self-confident
squire from north or south, screamed or bellowed
under the first experience of an electric shock. The
music, under the direction of Dr. Wallis, was beauti-
fully effective.

Robert „Nick°lb was charged with having most vio-
lently assaulted Philip Payne.
The complainant appeared with his under lip stitched
, up, anovered with plaister. He stated tt the de-
fendantd c
and himself and others formed aha very con-
vivial party on Christmas-day, at a public-house, kept
by the mother of the complainant, but that, over
,N a game of cards, something was said about the
marriage of the defendant, which took place on
that joyous anniversary, not all to that gentleman's
taste, whereupon he smote the complainant in the face,
floored him in a state of complete insensibility, and some
others of the company having joined in the lark, the un •
% fortunate jester with matrimonial feelings had good
reason to regret that be had not adopted the wise old
plan of dining at home at such a season.
The LORD MAYOR asked whether there were not ladies
Lee. present upon the occasion ?—The complainant replied
it was true there were, but the fact was they aggravated
the case, and amongst them all he was beaten until he
did not know where or what he was.

The defendant said the quarrel, as well as the dinner,
,% was quite a family affair, and that the complainant was
merely held down to the ground to prevent him from
xl4 doing mischief to himself and others. Nobody struck
him at all.—(Laughter.)
The LORD MAYOR (to the complainant)—Have you
„ got any witnesses? Complainant—Not one, my Lord.
" I was in a state of insensibility for ten minutes.
Here a tailor, in a tipsy tone of voice, cried out from
the crowd that he had witnessed the whole business,
and was ready to let the Lord Mayor into the whole of
the secret.

Upon coming forward the witness, who said his name
was Peter Stewart, presented a most warlike appearance.
His lair was standing on end, and upon one side of his
head there was an enormous white patch, and he looked
i% very much down upon the spectators.
72 The LORD M4Yoß—Well, Sir, what have you to say
ofi about this business? The tailor—l know all about it.
I This man as complains of that man was very abruptive,
IX and so you see I was obliged for to go to him to hold

mind, it's a family affair, and it was Christmas time.
The LORD MAYOR—But who struck the complainant ?
The tailor—Struck him ! nobody touched him but
me. -He was dead beat, or I'd have tackled him,
wouldn't 1 ?
Complainant—My Lord, I thought I should have been
killed.

The tailor—Lord ! why nobody touched you.
The LORD MAYOR—What, then, I suppose he beat
ice himself in this frightful manner ?—(Laughter.) The
tailor—•l know if I didn't drag him down to the
ground, and knock him about pretty well, he would
I have done mischief—that I know.

The LORD MAYOR—Then you acknowledge that you
oined in the assault upon the man ? I bind you as
;N well as the prisoner over, upon two good securities, to
appear at the sessions to answer for the violence.
%, The tailor—What ! bind me over ?
.1 The LORD MAYOR—Yes ; and if you say another
.k word, I shall fine you five shillings for being drunk.
The two assailants were then ordered to be detained

HAMMERSMITH.
4% On Wednesday afternoon, just before the rising of the
14 Court, a summons was called on before Mr. G. Clive,
34 the sitting magistrate, which had been issued against
the Earl of Clarendon, at the instance (if Charles Ha-
milton the driver of the hackney cab No. 2,040, for un-
lawfully refusing to pay him the sum of 10d., being the
remainder of his fare fur two hours' hiring.
The noble defendant did not appear, neither did any
person on his behalf. •
Moore, one of the summoning officers of the Court,
- deposed to having served the summons by leaving it at
the Noble Earl's residence, No. 1, Grosvenor-crescent,
Belgrave-square. The servants said his Lordship was
gone to Grove Park, Watford, and would not return to
town until some time after Christmas.
Mr. CLIVE asked the cabman what was the distance
he had summoned his Lordship for ?—The cabman re-
plied, that on the evening of Friday last (the eventful
evening when Lord John Russell determined on resign-
ing the trust imposed on him by the Queen), he drove
the Earl of Clarendon from his Lordsliip's residence,
Grosvenor-crescent, to and from the residence of Lord
John Russell, in Chesham-place, Belgrave-square ; and,
after having been kept at the Noble Earl's service for two
hours, he was discharged at Kent House, Knightsbridge,
the residence of Earl Morley. The Earl of Clarendon
then handed him 25., and on his saying his fare, includ-
ing back carriage, it being after eight o'clock in the
evening., was 3s. 4d., his Lordship walked away. He had
subsequently obtained an additional sixpence from the
servant, and had therefore summoned his Lordship for
the remaining tenpence of his fare, charging for time.
Mr. CLIVE ordered a second summons to be issued
against the Earl of Clarendon for Thursday next, and
desired one of the officers of the Court to ascertain
who his Lordship's solicitor was, in order that he might
be made acquainted with the case.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of Dec. 6.)
SUGAR. —A better disposition has been manifested by the
home trade to purchase Colonial Sugar since Friday last, but
merchants have been unable to obtain any general advance
in prices, although the market has been but moderately sup-
plied and the stock still less than it was last season at this
period. The arrivals of Bengal have been, again, to a fair
extent, but of all other descriptions, they are upon a small
extent only.
REFINED.—There has been a good demand for Refined
Sugar from the home trade since our last report, and full
rates have been given; the low and middling descriptions
were the most in request. The market has been but mode-
rately supplied with all kinds, the refiners working with
caution, in consequence of the small profits they are obtaining.
The value of Dutch crushed Sugar is 33s to 355, and for low
31s to 32s per cwt, but there is little to be had. In Belgium
sales have been made to a fair extent at 30s to 335. Holders
showed firmness, and supplied the market sparingly with all
descriptions. Al auction only 413 bags were offered, and
which went as follows :—good yellow at 525, middling 47s 6d,
fine brown 463 6d, middling 425, washed 46s to 50s 6d, and
syrupy 46s to 48s per cwt.
EAST INDIA:---White Bengal Sugar has been in excellent
request at the previous currency, and in yellow the opera-
tions have been upon a more extended scale, at former
prices; brown, however, has been purchased with caution,
although there are sellers privately upon reeler lower rates.
Brown Madras is dull of sale, but is nut offered at any fur-
ther decline in prices.
FORElGN.—Although all descriptions of Brazil Sugar can
be obtained by private treaty upon further reduced terms,
still the refiners working under bond have purchased with
caution, and the shipping orders are unusually small. AU
other descriptions of Foreign are dull of sale; Cuba Musco-
vado and Porto Rico may be purchased at 21s to 24s per cwt.
COCOA. —Of British Plantation none has been submitted to
public sale, and the amount of business transacted privately
has been limited, although there are sellers upon rather
lower terms ; grey may be purchased at 36s to 40s, and red
at 37s to 433 per cwt. For Foreign there are few purchasers,
and the tendency of prices is downwards.
Sercks.—The low rates that prevail for Black Pepper cause
holders to be less inclined to realise, especially as the stock
is less than it was last year, and the deliveries much larger.
There has however been only a limited business transacted
privately, Sumatra at 214 d to tad, Penang 21jd to 244:1, and Ma-
labar 24d to 34d. White is wanted—the parcels sold privately
were at 4d to lid for common to fine quality. Pimento is
wanted, and owing to the short supply buyers are compelled
to pay stiffer rates. Cloves have been sold to a fair extent.
The value of Mace is 2s 8d to 3s 3d, and superior 3s 4d to
4s, but it is less wanted. Cinnamon is held with firmness,
but the demand is not so good as it was. Ginger is not to be
obtained upon lower terms, but there has been little desire
shown to purchase East or West India.
COFFEE.—Holders of East India have confidence, and sup-
plied the market scantily with home trade and shipping
kinds. For Ceylon, stiffer rates being insisted upon, tended
to operate against business, and privately only small parcels
have been disposed of. Mocha is held for the former cur-
rency, but the amount of business done privately has been to
a small extent only, and none has -been offered at auction.
There has been very little business transacted privately in
other East India descriptions, although prices rule very low.
Java has been purchased with caution, but lower rates are
not taken.

TEA.—There has again been no public sale, and privately
holders of black and green are less inclined to realise, as
arrivals are falling off, the consumption continuing to be
good, and prices lower than they were last season at this
period. Congou has brought full rates, and a fair busi-
ness has been transacted privately in all descriptions.
Pouchong has sustained the former value, and is wanted. For
Twankay the prices keep up, the supply being small, and the
trade in want of this kind of Tea. For Hyson prices do not
improve, but the trade are evidently more disposed to get
stocked on account of its cheapness. In the value of gunpow-
der little variation has taken place ; a fair business has been
done. For second Orange Pekoe prices remain the same.
RlCE.—lmporters of Bengal, being desirous to realise, sub-
mitted to a reduction on previous rates of fid per cwt ; still
exporters and the home trade have shown little desire to
operate, and privately only small parcels were disposed of at
14s to 16s 6d for low to tine white. Although Madras can
be obtained upon further reduced terms, still few buyers are
to be met with. Java is dull of sale, and prices are on the
decline.

FfitaT.—Although there are sellers of Currants at the mo-
derate rates of 47s to 48s for new Zante and Cephalonia, 47s
to 498 for Patras, and 468 per cwt for old, still the pur-
chases made have been limited. The market has a dull ap-
pearance for all descriptions of Raisins, and there are sellers
upon low terms—the value of Valencia is 30s to 40s per cwt,
according to quality. New Red Smyrna 35s to 375, old 30s
to 325, new Black 30s.
COCHINEAL—HoIders are less inclined to realise, and have
refrained from offering any at public sale ; privately a fair
business has been transacted, but not at better prices.
SmaiTs.—There has been little desire shown to purchase
any description of Jamaica Rue, but holders keep firm. Lee-
ward Island cannot be obtained lower, but there are few
buyers to be met with. The market has a quiet appearance for
Calcutta, but holders are not inclined to reduce further prices.
For Brandy the market has a firm appearance, the demand
is good for all kinds, and former rates are well supported.
Geneva for exportation has been sold at 2s Id to 2s 2d for
common quality. _ _

InnGo.—East India has been purchased with caution by
the home trade, and there are very few shipping orders of
any description : those parties that are inclined to realise
have been compelled to submit to a decline OR the rates of
the last auctions of 3d to 6d. per lb for Bengal ; Madras and
Kurpah, from the short supply, are, however, nearly bringing
the prices of that period, but the demand is still limited.
TURPENTINE.-Rough has been in good demand at 13s,
and at which a large parcel has been disposed of. Spirits
have been purchased with more freedom, and stiffer rates are
given. Tar is not much wanted, but former rates are asked,
the quantity here not being large.
Oars.—There has been an extensive business transacted
in Linseed Oil on the spot, and further advanced rates are
given; for delivery next year a good deal has been done at
25s 6d to 26s ; the supply is still falling off, and likely so to
keep, as prices are unrennmerating to the crushers. 'fl
quantity consumed is largo for the period of the year. Rape
Seed Oil is held with firmness, and is wanted. Palm has
been only in limited request, but holders were unwilling to
