SAN FRA isc Isco, Nov. 15.'--The jobbing trade has been quite moderate, and, as is usual on the day preceding the sailing of the steamer, very little has been done from the hands of importers. Money matters appear to be less- stringent than at the date of the sailing of the last steamer. FRANCE.—The Moniteur notifies that on Tuesday, thb 26th, the Emperor will open, in person, at the Palace of the Tuileries, the legislative session of 1855, and will re- ceive the oaths of those Members of the Senate and. Legislative Corps who have not yet fulfilled that formality' There is a very general belief in Paris that four regiments' of the Imperial Guard arc to be sent to the Crimea, under the command of two Colonels of this corps d'aite. 1136 Colonels of the First Regiment of Grenadiers and of the Second Regiment of Voltigeurs, will, it is said, be selected for this honourable service.

It has further been determined that as soon as the Imperial Guard arrives in the Crimea a bat' talion of Zouaves, consisting entirely of men who have distinguished themselves in the Crimean campaign, sha` be incorporated in the force.

The Espana announces that the democrats in the Cortes have withdrawn their demand for the Lilt peachment of the members of the Cabinet of the l,w July. HANOVER. —Despatches from Hanover announce that the Government is occupied in reinforcing the army, an principally the artillery. The greatest activity prevails the arsenals, and important orders have been given ier arms for the infantry. The PRUSSIA.—A Berlin despatch of the 17th says Austrian, English, and French theyenvos separately presenteo. yesterday to Baron Manteuffel ratified treaty of the 2d December, with separate notes, inviting the adhesion of Prussia thereto." The Prussian Minister of War s ordered telegraphic wires to be laid down to connect all the principal fortresses with Berlin ; also the military stations situated along the coast.

minstrels, anc he melee is going on, wile , changes to a hermitage. A pior Old hermit, with white beard, enters with tottering gait and leaning on his staff. water and two litt ;le peas, over which he soliloquises thus " Of temperance I surely am the king, For total abstinence from everything Is every day my rule." Knocks are heard, and St. George appears, tells the hermit that he is a traveller, and that" his breakfast he would share." The hermit inquires whether he is " a boat fide traveller ?" and upon being assured of that fact he invites his guest to sit down and partake of his fare. They fall into conversation. St. George asks what news there is in these outlandish parts, whereupon the hermit tells him that there is a dragon in the neighbourhood who darts flames from his nostrils, and " at dinner every day a virgin _ he must devour," and such vast expenses had he caned that " the king had doubled that hard income tax." Upon being told that the king's beautiful daughter Sabra was any knight the hand of doomed to be the monster's mea ho could slay him would be rewar the nrincess. St. George asks, " Is this fair_ daugh worth such deadly fighting ?" He is assured that she is, and moreover the hermit shows her to him. St. George regards her with delight, and resolves to save her. The next scene discloses the den of the dragon, which St. George approaches, mounted on his charger and carrying his lance. The monster comes out, and they fight, the knight obtaining a glorious victory. The next scene is a street in Memphis. St. George arrives with the dragon's head on a truncheon, kneels at the feet of Ptolemy, and claims the Princess Sabra as his reward for the service he has performed. The father of the beauty vows that she shall never be the wife of cursed infidel, whereupon Almi- dor, the black King of Morocco, says— " Give me the head ; I'll have it, or, at least, I'll swear 't was I that killed the fiery beast." Hereupon the black guards attempt to seize St. George. He knocks them down with the dragon's head. Egyptian guards meet with a similar fate. Almidor is knocked down by the knight, who is then about to be attacked by Ptolemy, when Sabra makes her appearance, and on her knees thus intercedes for her father : "Stranger, I love you, whatsoe'er you are— ' I'll love you more if you'll not hurt papa." St. George, " for her sake," spares Ptolemy ; by this time Almidor has recovered his legs, and, taking advantage of the attention paid by the knight to the princess, causes the guards to seize him and wrest the dragon's head from his grasp. He is dragged away by them. Sabra is about to run to his rescue, when she is held back by Ptolemy and Almidor, and then she invokes succour from the gods. The scene now changes to the Grand Hall of Chivalry. Britannia is discovered seated on a throne, bearing her lance and shield. The Genius of the Mersey here claims to be protector of St George, and delivers her prophecy and effects the pantomimic transformation : "Release the valiant knight, and be it known Henceforth my river claims him as her own. For on her banks a noble town shall rise, Famed for its merchants and their enterprise; Whose wealth a nation's destinies shall rule, And known in after times as Liverpool ; Where in her mighty docks, with flag unfurled, Shall ride huge ships from all parts of the world ; Whose basins wide, whose buildings high and fair, The name of England's champion shall bear ; , While one great Hall, the country's boast and pride, With you, St. George, will share its lasting fame, For that shall also own your peerless name. But first you have a motley course to run, Egypt's fair daught,,r you have fairly won. To test your truth, and prove your love sincere, St. George must now as Harlequin appear." St. George, changed to 'Harlequin, receives from Britannia a cap and wand. The cap put on, he is told, will make him invisible when pursued, while the magic wand will " from all stratagem his life defend." Sabra, delivered from the black king's will, is made to trip with her knightly lover as Columbine, while Ptolemy, " as foodfor laughter," is doomed " as Pantaloon this pair to, hobble after," Almidor following as " the knavish servant Clown." The changes effected, Britannia bids them i Away, the motley chase commence, " Until we nieet again a twelvemonth hence." Then follow a variety of comic scenes. The last scene but one in the pantomime is the " kennel of the dogs of war." The barking of large dogs is heard, and through the gloom are seen the heads of dogs of monstrous size. Har- lequin and Columbine enter, having lost their way. Har- lequin is about to waive his wand to discover where they are, when a Russian bear enters and grasps him, bruin fashion. At the same time, a huge dog bounds forward, and seizes Harlequin's cap in his mouth, and Harlequin, being deprived of his magic wand, becomes helpless. Clown and Pantaloon now make their appearance. Clown seizes Harlequin, and exclaims —" I've got him," where- upon bruin releases Harlequin, and commences huggin,; Clown, who changes his tune, finding he has " caught a Tartar," and roars out, " Oh, he's got me." The dog runs off with Harlequin's cap in his mouth. The Genius of the Mersey appears to the rescue of Harlequin and Columbine, and prophesies the final muzzling of the bear— " Hold! though the war-dogs of that rugged Bear Have marr'd your happiness, let him beware While lam here to save you. You have proved Well worthy of the lady you have loved. Henceforth be happy, while to all I'd show The deeds that shall a tyrant overthrow. While Inkerman and Alma's noble story, Well worthy of Great France and England's glory, Shall be but preludes to a victory That will the huge Bear safely muzzle see." At the ADELPHI, the pantomine is founded upon the favourite old nursery tale of " Cinderella, or the Little Glass Slipper," The opening of the pantomime is written by Mr. John Courtney, who is also the author of the pantomime at the Surrey theatre for the present season, together with " Sinbad the Sailor," produced at the Adelphi last year. It embraces all the interest of the un an estivity. The first scene finds the Prince of Pep- perminto, having been thrown into slumber by the Fairy Queen Crystalline, dreaming of Cinderella; he awakes, and is drawn by a fairy chorus to the Baron's chateau. In the interval of his travel thither, there is a beautiful fairy scene, with rising fountains, and a collection of local "hits" are given in conversational chat between the Queen and her court. The Prince, in search of his hunting com- panions, reaches the Baron's residence, and is received in due form. We have now the oddities of the Baron and Baroness, with her daughters; then Cinderella in the kitchen, persecuted by the sisters and assisted by the Fairy Queen. Cinderella departs for the ball to the illu- minated gardens of the palace of the prince—the latter falls in love—the clock strikes twelve—and the injunction of the Fairy fills Cinderella with horror, and she flies. The Prince now orders his heralds to proclaim the lost slipper, and follows to the Baron's castle. The sisters fail in their efforts to make the slipper fit them, owing to the pressure of corns and bunions. Cinderella is ordered by the Prince to try it on : it fits, and all is happiness by the intervention of the Fairy Queen, who appears with all her court in her Panonian temple. The opening is full of beautiful scenery and mechanical contrivances, and paro- dies of popular airs, together with choice morceaux from the well-known and favourite opera. A e n anariMPtl of the rhyme we insert the following : My fairy vassals, welcome to .you all, I've just dropped in—a morning call. St. George's Hall is finished, I suppose? MYRTLE. Not yet; and when it will be, no one knows, To get it done the many made a fight ; * * * * But time wore on, and public hope diminished, And popr St. George's Hall remains unfinished * * * * * * * * QUEEN.

The 704,1 sought to recover £3l, due for wages on a voyage '.'fhi,,-4iverpool to Geelong and back to Liverpool.

According to the evidence of the plaintiff o others of the crew., the master voluntarily offered Vtve, and did give, a gratuity of £2O to each of the who continued with the ship, which sailed in due a 11:ae and arrived in England. When the vessel arrived t'N'erpool the owners refused to pay the plaintiff his tlea, upon the ground that he had been mutinous, and Present action was thereupon brought. —The defence tip,W relied upon by the defendants was, that the plain- t?", during the voyage, had extorted the sum of £2O Corti the master of the ship, and they ought to setoff t sum against the plaintiff's claim, which they said covered by the £2O and ell paid into court.—Lord iki`,,„"lhell said the question for the jury was, whether the tAer of £2O which had been paid to the plaintiff was a of gratuity voluntarily given by the master, in breach 1,11,.'18 duty to the owners: or whether,.3B the master said, alktaYment was extorted' from him by the plaintiff's re- ilvolotn do his duty.

SELECT VESTRY.—The Rev. Rector Campbell presided nesday. It was stated that the num- lad used the vagrant sheds last week ,as 383 males, 219 females, and 24 children; a total of 626. The number of inmates at the Workhouse was stated to be 2,707. There were 677 in the sick ward, of which 66 were fever and 48 itch cases ; a very large pro- portion. The sub-committee appointed to inquire into the charges of Mr. Brown, inspector of schools, in which he " doubted the moral training and intellectual attain- ments" of most of the children, reported that they saw nothing to warrant the dismissal of the female teachers, as suggested by Mr. Brown, and considered the grounds for his charges were most frivolous. Letters, which had been addressed by the Board of Health to the Select Vestry and the Health Committee, were then read; the pith of both being contained in the following extract : " The Vestry is the authority in which the Nuisances Removal Act vests the execution of the regulations and directions of this board, and they appear, from their letter, to have made their medical arrangements in the exercise of a discretion with which the president of this board would not have felt himself called upon to interfere at the time, had the facts now before him been brought to his notice as they occurred. Considering all the correspon- dence, it appears to the president that both the Town by a strong sense Of public duty, and he would earnestly recommend both bodies to employ their energies rather in co-operation for the benefit of their fellow-citizens, than in discussion of the course pursued by each other in relation to the epidemic which has now happily disappeared." A dispute then arose relative to the payment of the medical officers, in the course of which Mr. Bradley, Mr. Rawle, and Mr. Blain, members of the Medical Relief Committee, tendered their resignations; but ultimately the vestry adjourned without coming to any decision. MAERIAGE IN MGT' LIFE.—On Thursday, the village of Hale, in this county, presented an appearance of unusual gaiety on the occasion Of the marriage of Russell Charles Stanhope, son of the Hon. Major Sir Francis Stanhope, and nephew of the Earl of Harrington, with Ellinor Arena, daughter of Ireland Blackburne, Esq. of Hale Hall, formerly M.P. for Warrington. The bride wore a magnificent dress of Brussels lace and veil, and was at- tended by eight bridesmids; attired in lilac silk, trimmed with groseille and bonnets to match, with bouquets from London, presented by Lord Molyneux. The bridegroom's best man was Captain Somerset. The bridesmaids were Lady Cecilia Molyneux, the Hon. Miss Byng, (Maid of Honour to the Queen), Miss Houghton, Miss Patten, Miss Cornwall Legh, and the bride's two sisters. Among the company present were the Earl and Countess of Sefton, Hon. Mr. Molyneux, Sir R. Pigot, Mr. Greville, Mrs. Hughes, &c. The cottages on Mr. Blackburne's estate, between the hall and the church, were decorated with flags bearing appropriate devices, and arches of flowers and evergreens were thrown across the road leading to the church, while the tenantry on horseback and the school girls on the estate with 'flower garlands lined the way. After the 'ceremony the bride and bridegroom received immense numbers of presents, and went off in a chariot and four to Legh Oaks, in Derbyshire, the residence of Colonel Blackburne, the bride's brother. A splendid ddettner was given at the old hall, where toasts were drunk and speeches•made. The festivities of the day were brought to a close by a tall, at which a numerous assem- blage of families in the neighbourhood was collected. SOUTHPORT RAILWAY CONTRACTORS.—On Wednesday, a meeting of residents on the line of railway between Liverpool and Seaforth, was held at the Clarendon-rooms, to take into consideration the best means of meeting the intended advance of the contracts, and to provide other means of conveyance. Mr. J. M. Syers was called to the &dlr. The Chairman, in directing attention to the object of the meeting, said it was not so much a question of money —for even upon the advanced scale he should pay little more—but it must be considered that every year the railway company had raised their fares; and if the impo- Sition were submitted to this year, they would have another next year. He understood that the company pleaded poverty as an excuse for the increase of the fares ; but evenunder those circumstances the directors ought to consider what would .be the effect of the proposed altera- tion,-and whether or not It might eventually tend to the advantage of their undertaking. He understood that a gentleman, largely connected with works in the neigh- bourhood, and who gave employment to a number of men. thus bringing traffic to the line, would, if the advance took place, leave it altogether, and others intended to do the same ; the consequence wouldhe that the line must suffer materially. In reference to the increased fares he might state that on the Chester and Birkenhead railway the charge by contract was £1 per mile perannum,and the same on the London and Nothrwestern ; but the charge from Liverpool to Bootle was £5, and to Waterloo £6. The question arose, what were they to do in self-defence—whether they should submit to personal inconvenience in order to avoid the line, unless the company submitted to a reduction of fares, or appoint some person on their behalf to meet the directors. It was stated by a contractor present, that Mr. Robertson Gladstone, who had a large interest in the line, was in favour of a low rate of fares. Some desultory conversation ensued as to the most desirable course to be adopted, dur- ing which, Mr. Busby, one of the firm engaged in the ex- tensive omnibus traffic in this town, entered the room, and the chairman called his attention to the question before the meeting. The Chairman said that a fly boat on the canal had been spoken of, and he wished to receive from the gentlemen present any suggestions they might have to make. In reply to a question as to running an omnibus between Seaforth and Liverpool, Mr. Busby said he was not prepared to make any statement as to the cost of such an undertaking or the rate of fares ; he would do anything in the omnibus line, but the cost must depend upon the number of passengers to be guaranteed, and other requirements. The meeting then appointed a number of gentlemen to form a deputation, and, accompanied by Mr. Robertson Gladstone, to obtain an interview with the directors relative to the increased fares ; .also to communi- cate with the.omnibus proprietors, and report the result of their inquiry to a future meeting, to be held that day week. DOCK COMISITTEE.—At the meeting, on Thursday, Mr. Charles Turner presided, and there were also present : Messrs. Shand, Palmer, Robinson' Robertson Gladstone, Langsdale, Brocklebank, Gregson, Barber, Lockett, Hol- den, Rankin, SmithrChaloner, James Holme, and Evans.— The Chairman said, with reference to the subject of filling up the George's Basin, referred to the committee of works, upon examining very ,carefully the space between George's Dock and Basiu, and the space between George's Basin and Prince's Dock, they had found that there was not suf- ficient length in the gut to put an additional bridge there, and could not recommend any alteration at that end. With respect to the south end, .as there was no entrance from the river there, it was susceptible of considerable improve- ment. He thought that the bridge could be kept shut at the south end from six .in the morning until six at night. The committee were anxious to make a bridge exactly opposite to the end of James-street ; but on 'Mann Island there were three public-houses just opposite where the bridge would be, and which, if the situation of the bridge was altered, it would be necessary to purchase the leases of and pull down. The committee, after due consideration, thought it best not to interfere with them at present, as the tenants could make out a strong case for compensation. When they got hold of Mann Island, after the leases had expired, which would be in seven or eight years, they could make a splendid line of communication with the landing-stage. The committee recommended that the George's Baths should be pulled down by the Corporation, and, if that took place, that the George's ferry basin, or small slip, should be filled up.—The Chairman said, if these things were not done, there was another very ob- vious improvement that might be made—the erection of a high level bridge at the bottom of James-street. But the committee recome:ended the trust at present not to deal with the question. After some. onversation the sub- ject dropped. The following report from the parliamen- tary sub-committee was then read :—The surveyor pro- duced his plan, revised pursuant to former directions of this sub-committee, and in order to its being now finally a decided upon with view to the preparation of his esti- .mates, to be deposited on the 30th instant. The revised plan shows an addition to the estimated cost of the works of £264,578, exclusive of the price of additional land (about 108,000 square yards) beyond that shown on the original plan, which price, estimated according to the value which has been before provisionally assumed by the sur- veyors, would amount to about £124,000, but as to which latter sum the surveyor refers entirely to the judgment of Mr. Stewart. These additions would increase the former estimates from_the sum of £3,417,686 to the total sum of borrowing powers from three millions and a half to four millions ; but which several alterations of the original plan and additional items of cost, though considerable, the sub-committee, having regard to the importance of secu- ring for dock purposes the larger quantity of land at its 'd to the increased facilities for the exten- vement, and working of the intended docks, amend to the favourable consideration of the giiieral 3mittee. In the discussion which ensued, Mr. Rankin 1. having the additional ground in the centre of the Teat advantage. He begged to move the report.—Mr. Shand seconded the was the estimated at when their revenue for the past 0 less than in the corresponding half ,nue wt After some conversation to negotiate with Mr. J lamages done to of the chain ilication was

THE CHILDREN of the Sunday and Infant School of St. Catharine's, Tranmere, assembled on Thursday, for the purpose of receiving their annual Christmas treat, which was superintended by the Rev. G. Handcock, curate of the church. The children, numbering upwards of 130, were amply supplied with buns, bunloaf, and tea ; they were then entertained by the exhibition of an excel- lent magic lantern ; and, after singing the national anthem, dispersed, all seeming very well pleased with the entertainment. The Rev. J. W, Welsh and several members of the congregation were present.

Some thieves entered the counting-house of Messrs. Robert Hyde, Greg, and Co., cotton-spinners, Quarry-bank, Cheshire, a few nights since, picked the lock of the iron safe, and carried away £3OO. To avoid detection while engaged in the robbery, the thieves had taken with them three blinds, and placed them before the three windows of the count- igers, parce goods. d4o' 23 17s. 2d 10d. ing-house THE NEW ROUTE BETWEEN LONDON AND DUBLIN, AND THE NORM—The Great Western Company has made arrangements with the City of Dublin Steam-packet Company for a "through" traffic between Paddington and Dublin, via" the new route through Wolverhampton, Chester, North Wales, and Birkenhead—in conjunction with the trains which now run through from Paddington to Chester, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and the Welsh district—in the same time, and at the same fares, as by the London and Northwestern route. Efforts are also making to remedy the complaints as to the slowness of the trains on the Chester and Birkenhead line, which run in con- junction with the Greatwestern Railway fast trains. A Cormisiori.—ln the Birkenhead County Court, on Friday, the case of Cubbins v. Bronghall was heard. The plaintiff, a plasterer, sued the defendant, a car-owner, for £lO. the amount of damage done to a gig which the plaintiff had hired. It appeared that, on the night of the 23rd of November, the plaintiff, who was returning in the gig with a friend from Woodchurch to Birkenhead, was standing still in Woodchurch-lane, when a car, coming in the opposite direction, and driven by a person in the de- fendant's employ, ran into the gig and broke it to pieces. The plaintiff called ont to the driver before the collision took place, and the road was wide enough for the car to have passed. For the defendant it was sought to prove that the plaintiff did not call out to the driver; that the plaintiff was not standing still, but driving pretty fasq; that the blame rested with him, and that the value of the gig was very small.—His Honour gave a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 25. ROCK FERRY.—The committee for collecting funds, in this district, for the Patriotic Fund, have brought their labours to a close, and the final meeting was held at the Royal Rock Ferry Hotel, on Wednesday. Mr. Thomas Branch occupied the chair. Mr. Manifold, the treasurer, reported that £238 had been contributed, and that about £2O further were expected. Mr. David Evans moved, and the Rev. Charles Jones seconded the motion, that the treasurer's accounts do pass. It was moved by the Rev. T. F. Redhead, seconded by Mr. John Finch, jun., that the cordial thanks of the meeting be presented to the ladies who so promptly and kindly took upon themselves the entire labour of collecting the funds raised. On the motion of Mr. Thompson, 'seconded by Mr. Ker, thanks voted to the treasurer; and after a vote of thanks 3ranch. for his services in the chair, the meeting dissolved. PLUM PUDDINGS FOR THE CRIMEA.—On Monday, 3 cwt. of plum puddings were dispatched per train, to be shipped in London for the Crimea. A much larger quan- tity would have been forthcoming had longer notice been given. The puddings were immersed in £3 worth of rum, supplied by nearly all the spirit-merchants in town, and as they were in their cloths there is little fear of their arrival in an eatable condition. Various of them had notes and cards with mottos attached to them, expressive of the he senders.—Warrington Guardian.

His father bad paid all his tradesmen's bills, and had offered £3,000 ds a compromise among the gambling creditors; but some of ,the latter refused to accept the offer. A HUSBAND-IN-LAW.---A member of the bar says, that some time ago, a rough customer, or rather client, came into his office, and began to state his case in rather an abrupt manner. " Sir, I have come to you for advice. I'm a husband-in-law !" " A what P" spoke out the learned counsel. " Husband-in-law, sir !" " I have never seen that defined among the domestic relations." "Don't you know what a husband-in-law, is P Sir, you're no lawyer ; you're an ignoramus ! lam a husband-in-law, but not in fact, sir; my wife's run off." PLAIN SPEAKING.-At the Wellingborough county court, the other day, held before J. W. Wing, Esq., judge, a grocer at Kettering sued three or four labouring- men for money lent. His Honour expressed his indignation at the system pursued by the plaintiff, and addressing the grocer in the sternest tones, said, " Mr. Wright, I consider you the most detestable nuisance within twenty miles of the place —your system is extortion and robbery from beginnin g to end ; I shall order this note to be impounded, and shall send it to the revenue officers, as it appears to me to be fraudulently drawn up. I reckon yours a system of fraud, and shall use my influence with the government to get it done away with ; and (addressing the audience in court) I caution you all to beware of him, and shun him as you would a viper CluTio4—An attempted imposition on houses in the Mediterranean trade has just been detected. A person assuming the name of Raymond has written from Genoa to English firms, stating he was about to send them cargoes of oil and other goods. For these he forwarded fictitious bills of lading, and meanwhile, on the pretext of covering expenses, drew bills for small amounts. Before accepting them, however, the houses on this side of course made the necessary inquiries, and they have also obtained telegraphic intelligence from Genoa that no such person was known there. The scheme in consequence has wholly failed, but it may possibly be tried on other firms and from some new quarter. A ROCKITE OTICE.—Mr. William Pike, formerly of Birkenhead, has addressed the following letter to the Mayo Constitution :—" Glendarary, Newport, Mayo, 15th December, 1854. Sir,—Some of the English and other papers contain a paragraph which states, ' that I have re- ceived a threatening Rockite notice for having turned Roman Catholics off my land, on account of their re- ligion.' For the threatening letter itself, or the coward who penned it, I care not ; nor shall it influbnce me in any way. As to turning out tenants, I have only to say that, up to this time, I never have ejected either Protes- tant or Roman Catholic, although I have bad in my possession for two years an injunction by which I might have turned out eighty-four families. I certainly shall eject some of the worst characters, who have ever been ready to listen to bad advisers, and who contaminate the neighbourhood in which they reside." CHRISTMAS GlN.—From a very seasonable and elabo- rate report of the Analytical Sanitary Commission, in the last and a preceding number of the Lancet, it appears that, out of 38 samples purchased in various parts of the metropolis, and submitted to a severe test, most of them contained combined sulphates ; that seven contained cayenne pepper in very large quantities, so that the syrupy extract left on evaporation possessed a burning and fiery taste. The quantity of sugar in gin ranged from little more than 3oz. to upwards of 13oz. per gallon. It is added that in no case was sulphuric acid detected in the London gin, though, on the authority of Dr. Muspratt, it existed in large quantities in the Plymouth gin. On re- ference to the tables published by the Analytical Com- mission, it appears that the largest quantity of adulte- rations exists in the " vile compound" sold in the neighbourhood of barracks and markets, such as Knights- bridge, and Westminster, and Smithfield; and White- chapel. The report states that it is impossible to son- ceive a more scandalous adulteration of gin than cayenne pepper or grains of paradise, sulphuric acid, and sulphate of zinc, or, as it is commonly called, white vitriol, or white copperas, which, it is stated, is very common, the intro- duction into the stomach of raw spirit being sufficiently destructive without the addition of such acrid substances as those mentioned. EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE.—On Saturday an inquest was held on the body of Susannah Hudson, who had met with her death under the following singular circum- stances :—lnspector Scott, of the Liverpool police-force, deposed that, about four o'clock on the morning of the 12th instant, he was in the neighbourhood of Clayton- square, when he heard the cry of " Murder" proceed from No. 19, Cases-street, an eating and lodging-hduse kept by William Court. He proceeded to the house, when he per- ceived a young woman at the fourth storey window, with her back towards him, apparently in the act of jumping out of the window. He called to her not to jump, when she turned round and exclaimed, " But I will jump out." She threw herself into the street. He tried to break her fall, in doing which he was himself severely bruised, On lifting the woman up he found that her leg was broken. why she had done so rash an act, and she replied, " That some one was going to kill her." He asked her who was going to kill her, and she said, " She did not know." She some time he succeeded in obtaining au entrance into the house, and on going up stairs he found a man in the room from which the deceased had jumped. Witness was cer- tain that the deceased jumped out of the window.—Wm. Court said he kept the house, No. 19, Cases-street, which was called the "A la Mode Dining-room." He was also waiter at the Queen's Hotel,where his duties detained 11 night, The deceased and a s house on Saturday week, re- presenting themselves as man and wife ; and that they were about to emigrate to Australia.

tamed leave to bring in a bill to alter the arrange- meat with respect to Savings Banks The object is to afford the depositors the immediate sec of the Governrr at, in whom the move will be vested, instead of as at present in stock or public through the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt. It will also have the effect of simpliing the public accounts, by making the interest allowed to depositors a charge upon the Consolidated Fund;: but it is not intended securit to make any alteration in the rate of interest now paid. The measure was well received by the House, 11 no doubt pass into a law ENLISTMENT OP FOREIGN SOLDIERS, WE have no reason to congratulate the Oppo- sition on their success at the opening of the Parliamentary campaign, nor even to give them credit for their steadiness of resolution. The Session was opened on the 12th of this month, and the assembled legislators were informed by the highest authority that they had been called together at that unusual period in order that the Militia might be made available to relieve the regular army doing garrison duty in our Mediter- ranean outports. Not a syllable about the hiring of foreign soldiers ; not even an indirect :allusion to it, in any of those semi-official announcements in Ministerial papers which are usually received as having the sanction of authority. All was kept in profound secresy ; the Militia Bill was the only pressing measure, leaving the financial part of the question and everything else until after the Christ- mas recess; and yet, within two or three hours after HER MAJESTY had spoken that which was set down for her, the Ministers give notice of a Bill which had been already prepared to legalise the employ- ment of foreign mercenaries in the war carrying on against Russia. No wonder that it was received with astonishment and indignation, not only for the unconstitutional nature of the measure itself, but for the manner in which it had been intro- duced. There was a want, however, of zeal in the opposition, a lurking apprehension that it was unadvisable to throw any obstacle in the way of the Ministry who were charged with the conduct of the war ; and the smallness of the number who voted in the upper 'house showed how little their lordships were prepared for or expected any busi- ness requiring serious opposition- In the House

The local authorities, sympathising in the justness of the present war,mauifested their loyalty and patriotism by exhibiting in the marl Success to the Allies At the ;t close to the first fountain were the letters ith a crown in the centre. On the other side 'ountain stood the sentiment, " Success to the , in flaming characters. By the second fountain was the motto, " Unity, peace, and concord ;" whilst her side had " God save the Queen," all in large attractive letters of gas. Near the west entrance )f the fi Allies," ery neat devices, a hart and salmon, also illumi- with gas. It ought to be mentioned that the s for the several new devices had been supplied by 'ackson. Esa.. magistrate. Several of the occupants of the various stalls had their names in gas, amongst whom may be mentioned Mrs. Pover and Mr. Hilton ; whilst Mr. Corkhill, game and poultry dealer, had a pretty little device, a salmon illuminating the front of his stall. In addition to the various ornaments, a profusion iren in Liverpool, taking the lead in display. rd exhibited a splendid Durham ox, winner of the first prize at the Peterborough Agricultural Show, fed by F. Fullard, Thorney Abbey, Cambridge; a fine Hereford heifer, weighing. 40 score, and only 2k years old, one which deserves especial notice, fed by Mr. E. Crain, Thorney ; four beautiful Highland Scots, and two short- horned heifers, thirty four-year-old Southdown sheep, fed by animals. Mr. Hilton's stall was filled with a most extensive quantity of prime meat, amongst which were four exceedingly fine beeves and a bullock, fed by J. Gerard, Esq., of Gibstown, Ireland ; he had also 18 very prime sheep, fed by Mr. Leonard, of county Meath, Ireland ; two extraordinary looking pigs' one fed by Mr. Neil, of Spittal, and the other by Mr. Ryley, of Graseby. Mrs. Mover displayed amongst her stock five prime Irish heifers, a number of very fine wether sheep, and other meat of first-rate quality. Mr. Heathcock displayed six very fine Hereford beasts, and twelve sheep, all of which looked remarkably well. Mr. Knott had also a capital show, there being seven fine heifers, and eighteen wether sheep, all of prime quality. Mr. J. Gaskell had a good display of meat, and exhibited a very fine pig, four months old. Mr. Walters exhibited capital meat, and amongst his stock was a large Berkshire pig, weighing about 17 score, fed and bred by Mr .Rimmer, of the Old Hall, Bidston. Messrs. Greenwood, Veisey, Buxton, McCoy, Lloyd, Edge, and Doyle had their stalls filled with beef and mutton not to be surpassed in quality in this l'cality, the whole of which was also arranged and set off in the most attractive manner. On the stand of John Matthews, pork butcher, there were exhibited 20 exceedingly fine Cheshire- bred pigs, all of prime quality ; one in particular, bred and fed by Mr. H. Gough, Woodside Hotel; it weighed about 25 score. The show of game and poultry was principally confined to the stalls of Mr. Corkhill and Mr. Wrenn, where were to be seen Welsh geese and turkeys of an enormous size, some of them weighing 12 lbs. and 14 lbs. each. The fruit vendors made a good display up the centre avenue of the market, and their goods were seen to con- siderable effect 'rem their close contiguity and lights near the fountains. The chief exhibitors were Messrs. Taylor, Willoughby, Maddox, Smith. and Pickett, whose stands were very neatly decorated, The other butchers in the township had also exten- sively catered for the public, amongst whom may be mentioned Messrs. Kynaston and Harrison, of Grange- lane, where immense quantities of meat were exhibited. Mr. Kynaston had a • monster pig, fed by Mr. Jones, of Grange-lane, which weighed upwards of 40 score. . I I NIN 1 I •lINEA. THE PANTOMIMES Or all the amusements by which the juvenile popular tion, as well as the " children of larger growth," are at once attracted and delighted, none claim a higher rank, or are accorded a more general favour, than the Pantomimes. The broad grimaces and "quips and oddities" of Clown and Pantaloon, the sylph-like elegance of Columbine,7and the magic spells of Harlequin's fairy sword are indispensa- ble adjuncts to the merriment of the Christmas holidays; and in preparing such attractions all our theatres have been busy. To-night those fairy revels will be unfolded to eager throngs; and in affording some slight key to the amusements, we shall be in some degree devoting our labours in accordance with the spirit of the time. AT THE THEATRE ROYAL, the piece selected is founded on the many adventures of the renowned St. George, and its title is "St. George and the Dragon, or Harlequin and the Prophecy of the Spirit of the Mersey." The author of the opening and story of the pantomime is Mr. J. B. Buckstone, who has earned a reputation as designer of " The Child of Hale," " Tim Bobbin," " The Legs of Man," and "The Butterfly's Ball" pantomimes, which were pro- duced in the order in which they appear, and gave the utmost satisfaction. The dances and the actions of the ballet have been arranged and will be directed by Signor Lauri, who will appear as Harlequin, supported by Miss Marshall as Columbine, and his two clever brothers as Clown and Pantaloon. Mr. E. Fitzwilliam has selected and arranged the overture and music; the scenery is by Mr. Dearlove, jun., the machinery by Mr. B. Jones, the properties by Mr. Bromley, and the dresses by Mr. Jeffries. The scenic effects will, we understand, be more gorgeous than on any former occasion. The comic busi- ness is rich in humorous positions and transformations, and the whole will conclude with a magnificent diorama of the progress of the allied armies in the east, views of the—larrnellaal-Seana"baular; i. The-following-ie-tire- out ne of the story of " St. George and the Dragon," as adapted for the pantomime In the first scene, Kalyb, the wisest woman of the woods, makes her appearance from a thicket. Not daring to "call upon the powers above to tell her how to win St. George's love," she invokes the aid of the " shadows of black night." Four demons appear, to whom Kalyb tells her griefs, how " she is kept in bondage by six knightly chiefs, who have disdained her love." But there is a seventh whose love she especially wishes to gain, and she asks the demons the way to accomplish her purpose, for she will " never wish to win another." She admits she stole him when a baby, and now that he is grown to youthful manhood she desires to see him all her own. But his soul sighs only for martial glory. and she proposes to give d in white, at .s thine I never heerd ire and sent without a gest that the " cob to gain the princess for his m.

He and his minstrels sing and dance, and at the end of the capering the first nurse appears on the balcony, and hurls down a washing basin, which prostrates both the king and his attendants. Almidor rises in a rage, and orders his minstrels to "pick up some stones and smash the winders." The order is obeyed. The two nurses, armed with warming-pans, attack Almidor and his black
