MARTIN, the judges appointed to hold the Special Winter
Assize, arrived from London shortly after four o'clock, and

were received at the railway-station, in Lime-street, by
the Hon. Talbot Clifton, of Lytham, the High Sheriff;
by Mr. J. B. Lloyd, the Mayor in the state carriage ; and
other gentlemen. Their Lordships at once proceeded to
St. George's Hall, where, in the Nisi Prius Court, the
commission was read, and both courts were then ad-
journed till ten o'clock this morning. Their Lordships
afterwards, accompanied by the Mayor, paid a brief
visit to the great hall, to inspect the finished ceiling,
and the progress of the other works. Subsequently
they proceeded, the Mayor following in his carriage, along
St. John's-lane and Whitechapel, to St. George's Church
where Divine service was performed. Prayers were read
by the Rev. Mr. Walker, curate of the church, and an
eloquent sermon preached by the Rev. Mr. Robinson, the
sheriff's chaplain, from the 3rd chapter of Malachi, and
the Ist verse :—" Behold, I will send my messenger, and
he shall prepare the way before me."

PORTUGAL

ME funeral of -Donna Maria, the-Tate Queen of Put.
fugal, took place cci Saturday week. In consequence -of
therapid decomposition of the body,. such of the cereals).-
Dial used on such occasions had to be-dispensed with, and, ,
among other thimpti-,,tlp kissing of the royal hand ma
substituted by obeisances performed before the closed tof-
fin. At ten o'clock,. on Saturday morning,. the Mistressuf
the Robes, having: locked the outer coffutand delivered the ;
key to the " Modomo Mor," took a lighted candle in.
candlestick (the established etiquette) and went before the
bearers of the coffin,. as far as the palace gate, where she
stood until the hearse in which it was deposited beganto
move away. The following was the order of the proces-1
sion:—A squadron. of Lancers, the officers of the =mini,
polity on horseback, in long black cloaks and cocked hats.,
with crape bands—twelong lines of citizens (among them
many of the British residents) all in ~leep -mourning ank.
bearing wax torchee—the carriages tOithe.-ministers, the
nobility, and the corps diplomatique—the.state carriages
conveying the great officers of the household—a splendid
carriage conveying the crown and sceptre upon a large
cushion of crimsoa.velvet—an empty.- mourning coachr,
the hearse, surrounded by the archersue the Royal Guard
ha their showy dress of scarlet and.? gold, . and walking
bareheaded—another squadron of eayalry—and,
the troops that lined the streets, andfell into platoons ,as
the procession passed them.
On the whole, there was nothing grand,in the furzcral;
but the voluntary attendance of the-'citizens, whose num-
bers must have amounted to some tame or three thousand,
was an unexpected novelty which greatly heightened its
effect. The Amaral service at the church was long_ and
solemn ; and, at. its termination, the crowds diw:ed
were...extinguished, the 'loom were clos4„. and

the custom of.the Portuguese Court, passed eight:days in
close retiremaat, the King Regeot, held a levee at the
palace of Necessidades. On the 26th, an address, of con-
dolence on the part of the Britislunerchants waspresented
to His Majesty by a deputation from that.body,,composed
by Mr. Vice-Consul Meagher, and Messrs. Slaw, Rough-
ton, Ellerton, Knowles, Wilby, Turner, Hancock, and
Carruthers. After having rellied,to. the address in the
P f,eelanguage, he spoke to, the severat.members of
thertudrputation in English, and found something affable
and courteous to say to each.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1853-12-06

SUNDAY-SCHOOLS.

Sunday-schools, when established by Mr. Robert Raikes
and the Rev. Mr. Stock, in 1781, were evidently for the
purpose of instilling Christian truths and principles into
the minds of the labouring classes, and not for secular
instruction. If their principles had been fully carried
out, no doubt our peasantry would not have been in that
demoralised and demoralising condition in which they now
are. True it is that much has been done of late, and
much is being done in the present day towards amelio-
rating the condition of the poor. But unless the founda-
tion of education be on religious principle, then will it be
far better to give them no education at all. Teach the
rising generation their duty towards God and their duty
towards their neighbour, as first principles, then give them
whatever secular education you please. Unless this be
done, we shall always find that a want of true education
will be one of the great causes of crime.
The words "true education" just quoted is the real and
only sure remedy to prevent crime. The mind like the
body must be occupied by proper exercise, each be
nourished by proper food ; then will each go on in a
.healthy and vigorous manner. But if false principles,
bad examples, and bad precepts are allowed to be pre-
sented to the young mind, the prevalence of folly and crime
must be inevitable.

On the demoralising influences of poverty, our
author is likewise convincingly and practically
eloquent. His experience leads him to disapprove
of many provisions of the poor law ; not, be it
remembered, merely as a philanthropic theorist,
but as an eye-witness of the evils which almost
inevitably result from the working out of the
system. Most thinking men and women will concur
in the truthfulness of the following remarks on the

took occasion, while glancing at the impolicy and wicked-
edness of strikes, to show that the war waged against
capital and capitalists was directed by a mischievous and
unnatural spirit, in so far, at least, as that the race of ca-
pitalists had sprung from the industrious sons of toil. We
farther endeavoured to show that the exercise of well-
directed industry, combined with prudent self•controul
and intelligence, is the way, and, we may add, the only

way, to convert labourers into capitalists,
learn, with much regret, that the war, the unholy war of
the employed against the employing classes, so far from
having yielded to the cruel lessons of self-inflicted misery,
still continues, and, by means of delusive names and shift-
ing devices, stretches its impoverishing influence over the
deluded victims of its false and destructive theories. The
movement has now, it seems, assumed the mock-dignity
of what is to be termed a Labour Parliament, which is
not, it is said, to interfere in any way with the action and

functions of the present trades' unions and working men's

combinations, but is to content itself 'with organizing
labour into such a confederation as shall centralize the

power and intelligence of the working masses, and
so direct their strength as to turn them in favour
of the labouring many against the employing few. The
futility of such combinations has been practically
demonstrated again and again : and if argument
or the example taught by experience could avail in
any degree, the working man must long ere this have
discovered that such combinations have invariably en-
thralled and degraded him—have robbed him of the free-
dom of individual judgment and action—and have led
him into a line of conduct by which he has earned only
bitter disappointment and increased privation. The in-

auguration of this new parliament, it seems, took place
lately in Manchester, and on a Sunday ! The chief
directors of the movement were those birds of ill omen to
the working-man, Messrs. JAMES WILLIAMS and ERNEST
JONES. The arguments of this worthy couple were prin-

cipally confined to the enunciation of a principle declaring

STEAM COMMUNICATION
TIETWEF.N
- LIVERPOOL AND ANTWERP.
• ,1141;
z'zr Next Summer, as soon as the Screw Steam-
ships now building for the Atlantic are completed, a regular
STEAM COMMUNICATION will be established, by first-
class steamers, between LIVERPOOL and ANTWERP.
Goods will be received by these Steamers at Antwerp for
transhipment at Liverpool by the Steam-ships to the United
States; and the transhipment at Liverpool. as in the Com-
pany's Trade between Havre and Liverpool, will be free of
expense to the Goods.
It is not intended by the Establishment of this Line to cur-
tail in any way the facilities already possessed by the French,
German, and Belgian Shippers of Merchandise to America
from Havre, via Liverpool, but as an additional means for
the expedition of their Goods.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

AN OVERTASKED ASSISTANT wishes to have it generally
known that a holiday on Monday. the 26th inst., in lieu of
Christmas-Day, would be a great boon to many in the same
position as himself.
A WORKING MAN complains of there being no Christmas
excursion train announced from Liverpool to Manchester,
while there is one from Manchester to Liverpool. He
should apply to Mr. Marcus, the manager of the Railway
Company's special trains.

Letters addressed to the Editor should be accompanied by the
real name and address of the writer, not for publication,
but as a,guarantee of good faith ; this is indispensably re-
quisite in any statement of facts. The Editor wishes it to
be understood that he does not hold himself responsible
for the opinions or statements of his correspondents.
We shall be happy, at all times, to receive communica-
tions on subjects of local or general interest.
BOOKS. &C., FOR REVIEW, may be left at Mr.C. Mitchell's,
Redlion-court, Fleet-street, London, addressed "to the

at the mirthful roar ; him we cannot believe the author
of the trash alluded to by our meek friend. But be he who
he may—" be his intents wicked or charitable"—the senti-
ments attributed to him are not those promulgated or
countenanced by those who advocate the Scottish Rights.
Their demand is justice, that the usrrox MAY BE CLOSER ;
so that the pamphleteer and his antagonistic ally may be
safely left to work out their own conceits. Our sapient
neighbour, like his oracle the Times, whines out, if
Scotland has practical grievances to complain of, so have
we : but, quoth he, behold ! has not Mr. CAIRD, of
Baldoon, received an appointment under the Com-
missioners of Works ? Surely that should " con-
vince the gentlemen forming the new association
for the vindication of Scottish Rights, of the folly of the
course they are pursuing." Having got so far, we must
pause ; that last capriole has all but taken our breath
away ! Let us whisper in our brother's ear; the gentle-
men have not been guilty of the " folly" of agitating
Scotland to place Mr. CA.IRD, not of Baldoon, beneath
the Board of Works, or any other board. The brazen
glitter of that gentleman's sham-sunshine may, indeed,
have been mistaken by our sagacious contemporary for the
golden glory of the genuine APOLLO ; but in the north
Mr. CAIRD'S radiance is known to be that of a " mock-
sun." It is, indeed, true that the theoretical farming of
that luminary of the Times was deemed by the late Sir
ROBERT PEEL, and after him by the Times, sufficiently
instructive to warrant the hero of Baldoon in setting
himself forward to teach the science of agriculture to the
English farmer ; but the efforts of both would be as in-
adequate to make his advancement a matter for national
rejoicing, as his own. endeavours were eminently unsuc-
cessful in rendering the farm of Baldoon a profitable con-
cern. Nay, further, the combined assurances—we had
almost written assurance—of all three, added to the peace-
ful sighs of our insinuating neighbour, would not be
equal to the task of fanning Mr. CAIRD'S pretensions into
such a flame as would kindle a national quarrel. His vast
agricultural requirements are reckoned by very small coin
in Scotland, as he was distinctly and practically given to
understand by his neighbours of Wigtown, at the last
general election. He has, according to this new oracle,
it seems, at last attained the object of his toil and
cajolery ; but, his failure in doing so, the Courier may
rest assured, would not have sent a troop of foraging
borderers to levy black-mail on the town of Liverpool.
But, to make the matter, if possible, worse for our
contemporary's logic, the Ayr Observer informs us that
Mr. CAIRD has received no new appointment ; but, as he
has been for the last three years, is merely consulted on
matters relating to the Crown estates.

THE SPECTRE OF BENCITOINEACII.—A correspondent
the Edikzburak Courant states that on the 21st ult. at

3,ooo'feet attitude, in pursuit of white hares, he had an
opportunity of witnessing the phenomenon generally
known as the " Spectre of the Brocken." The mist was
driving in clouds over the ridge of the hill, and the sun
shining brightly. At intervals, a beautiful double "fog
bow" was formed in the mist. The inner bow appeared
about 80 yards distant, and about 30 feet diameter ; the
colours were bright, but not so bright as in the rainbow ;
and occassionally his shadow was strongly and distinctly
projected on tie misty clouds, and apparently at a greater
distance than the prismatic arches. It required a certain
density of mist to produce the shadow, as, when the mist
was either too dense or too rare, he saw no image. The
effect was very singular, as the "spectre" flitted in and out
according to the state of the mist. As the ground fell

very abiuptly below him, the inner bow was more than

half a circle
