Bridge•parade, Bristol, August sth, 1854.
Gentlemen.—We have to inform you that last night our
premises were entered by burglars, who blew open the strong
iron door of our wall repository by megns of gunpowder, in
which was placed the Milners' Patent Holdfast Safe you re-
cently supplied us with; this they got out and attempted to
blow open in the same manner, but without success. They
were well suppplied with picklocks, crowbars, &c., which are
now in possession of the police, but the safe was too strong
for all their efforts. We have much pleasure in bearing tes-
timony to the immense strength and security of Milners
Holdfast Safe, of which we have hail suchconvincing proof.—

The names appended to the address
the Rev. Principal Howson,
having been read by
The LORD Brswor of SYDNEY, in returning thanks for
the honour which he felt had been conferred, said :—The
occasion is doubtless a very uncommon one. That two of
the clergy of this archdeaconry and of this borough, who
were connected by many ties—by affection, by common
interests, and common labours—should have been simul-
taneously called to the office of the episcopate in our
colonies, is an event of very unusual occurrence. I am
aware that much of the interest felt in us at this time
must be attributed to this remarkable coincidence, and
much more to the kindly feeling which has ever charac-
terised the clergy of this town rbut I should be ungrateful
to God and to you, my brethren, if I did not thankfully
acknowledge that I do feel, deeply feel, that a great honor
and a great benefit have been conferred upon us this day.
The esteem of the wise and the good has in every age
been regarded as one of the highest rewards which man
can receive, and fitly so, for the wise do not lightly repose
their confidence, nor do the good commonly misplace their
regard. I do, therefore, feel that to have received an ad-
dress of this kind from a body of men such as the Liver-
pool clergy, is an honour greater than any which it is in
the power of the mere men of this world to bestow. Had
the regard, which is now expressed, been sought by us, it
had not been given. It has been freely tendered, and has
been given, not because we have done more than others,
for we have done less than many, and have not done more
than the youngest curate of your body may.hope to achieve,
but it has been given because we have, to the best of our
ability, endeavoured to do the will of God in seeking the
highest good of our fellow-men. That after a residence of
nearly twenty years amongst you I have been permitted
to receive so unanimous an expression of your good will,
I do regard as a very high honour, and venture to rejoice
that I have lived to attain it. I thank you further, my
brethren, for the benefits you have eonferred upon me, by
strengthening my hands, and by the encouragement I
shall hereafter derive from the proceedings of this day.
The good opinion of my brethren is one of my best cre-
dentials. If I have obtained a good report amongst you,
I may hope to be cordially welcomed by those to whom I
go. If eighty clergymen, of different shades of opinion,
have agreed to this address, some guarantee is afforded to.
my future clergy that I may be received by them with
confidence, as one who will endeavour to behave himself
wisely and kindly in his oversight of the Church of Christ.
This address is, therefore, a boon conferred upon me and
upon them. I, for my part, shall endeavour that what
you have so kindly said of me may continue to be verified,
while they will have learned before my arrival that I have
been regarded by those who knew me best as one in whom
they 'might confide. lam thankful, also, for this address
on still higher grounds. I trust I may look upon it as a
pledge that your interest in myself and my dear brother
will not cease with this occasion, but that we may be long
and frequently remembered by you in your prayers. It
will be an unspeakable comfort and an unfailing source of
strength to-know that our brethren pray for us ; that in
our distant dioceses the word of God may have free course
ataa;aaa as it is an you, and that we, the
ambassadors of Christ, may speak our message of reconci-
liation with fidelity and love. May the prayers you offer
up forus return in a rich blessing to yourown souls. May
the Holy Spirit be abundantly poured out upon all, guiding,
comforting, and establishing all. I thank you; my bre-
thren, also, for the store of pleasant and profitable recol-
lections which you have permitted us to lay up for a future
day. Very precious to me were those tokens of love and
regard which my beloved flock, and my friends, clerical
and lay, poured in upon us when we left the busy life of
Edge-hill for the quiet of a country parish. Scarcely had
they been arranged in our pleasant home, when the call
came by which they were to be removed to a distant and
very different sphere; And now; in the higher and more
responsibleduties'of that sphere, the remembrance of this
day, and of the affection and regard of my brethren the
clergy, will, tbelieve, often animate and encourage me.
How much is there in that list of names to instruct and
aid me in my future labour ! What lessons of sound
judgment, of admirable temper, of true benevolence and
manliness of character,' may I not derive from that vener-
ble name the foremost of that goodly band. In the
popular assembly, in the mixed committee, in the private
consultation, if I am only enabled In follow the course
which that name suggests, I need not fear that I shall be
betrayed into a failure of temper, an indiscreetness of ex-
pression, or an error of judgment. And could I add to
these qualities the qui4 apprehension of whatever is
practicable, the earnest desire to do whatever tends to the
benefit of this great community, and the untiring zeal
with which. that desire is. carried out which marks the
character of the co-rector of this town ; and yet more,
could I venture to hope that I 'might combine with these
that comprehensive knowledge of the Word of God—that
eloquent and powerful application of the divine message,
that fearlessness in the defence of evangelical and pro-
testant truth which distinguishes above all his fellows my
beloved friend, the third upon this roll, I might then hope
that Sydney would possess a bishop and Australia a me-
tropolitan, such as.the present greatness and future desti-
nies of that young world require. But this cannot be.
I can only endeavour to follow in their steps, establish and
support the institutions they have maintained, and
amongst others one such as this within whose walls we
are assembled, so ably and successfully presided over by
its principa.ancl my friend. I may at least endeavour to
practise in another hemisphere the lessons of wisdom,
faithfulness, and zeal which I have had the opportunity
of studying amongst the clergy of this town. May God
give me grace to be faithful to my trust. May the prayers
offered up for us be heard and answered. May you fay
brethren never have cause to be ashamed of the confidence
you have reposed in us. I trust that, as I purpose to sail
from this port, other opportunities may be given to me of
saying farewell to many of my brethren. Yet such cannot
be long afforded us. How many of those dear to me, who
welcomed me on my first coming to this place, have passed
away. From Ever ton, from St. Augustine's, from St.
Bride's, and now from Chester, have those been removed
whose piety and eloquence, whose learning and usefulness
so often encouraged and aided us 'in our endeavours
to do our heavenly Father's will. The memory of them
alone remains a very precious possession, and soon the
time must arrive when we also shall be called away
Dear brethren, when that time comes, may the like faith
and hope and joy fill our hearts which sustained and con=
forted theirs. May we feel that the Saviour who sepa-
rated us from each other for a season, will soon unite us
for ever.
The LORD BreHop of MAURITIUS also returned thanks,
and called attention to the spiritual condition of his
diocese, which for a long time had been very much neg-
lected, and in which even the members of our own church
were destitute of the means of grace: L► one part of it,
for many years, there had been no marriages nor baptisms
performed, except by the captains of ships. There were
no fewer than 60,000 emancipated slaves whom we had
released, indeed, from the galley fetters of slavery, but to
whom we had not imparted the light or the truth of the
Gospel. These unfortunate men and women were willing
to show their gratitude for any eftbrt that might be made
for them, and the priests of the Church of Rome had not
failed to acquire !an influence over them. The exigencies
of labour there since the slaves had been emancipated,
required the introduction of upwards 100,000 immigrants
from India; yet no steps -were taken while these were
being conveyed across the ocean to open their eyes to the
truths of the Gospel; and even those who bad been taught
Christianity in India were allowed to relapse into heathen-
ism, and lately there had been a pagan procession in
the island, which was attended by ten thousand persons,
and at which the most barbarous rites were eel. braced,

if we had not a reserve of able and experienced
every grade at home, it is matter of great congratulation
that a general so distinguished, energetic, and skilful as
Major-General Pennefather has every chance of recovering
from the serious illness under which he has been labouring.
He has been brought down to Balaklava from the camp, and
I am told his medical men think there is nothing to appre-
hend, and that he will before long be restored to, the division
he so ably commands. The number of applications sent
to Lord Raglan for leave to retire, to sell out, or to go on
half-pay, is said to be very great. The Duke of Welling-
ton had to contend against the same evil in Spain. It is
said—but I do not know whether there is any good ground
for the assertion, and lam inclined to think there is none
—that after Lord George Paget's name appeared in orders
as having received permission to retire no less than 180
1' ill out or go on half-my --
men of
applications to sell out or go on half-pay were sent in to
the Commander of the Forces. Some of these have, it is
stated, been acceded to—that is, Lord Raglan has sent
them to the Commander-in-Chief of the army, with rather
sarcastic recommendations that the permission sought for
be granted; others have been refused, inasmuch as the
Colonels of the regiments to which the applicants belonged
did not approve the application. If report be true, in-
deed, some of these gentlemen were "no great loss," and
the army is well rid of them. One voune person. who
of
the
r "
recently retired, and who belongs to the nobility, to
whose gallant conduct here he offered a striking con-
trast, had been publicly rebuked by his commanding
officer for his disorderly and pusillanimous behaviour
before he retired.
The paymasters of regiments, who have been living
in Balaklava for some time past, are in great dudgeon at
being ordered out with their regiments, and they aver,
with great show of reason, that it will be quite impos-
sible for them to keep their books and accounts in tents
in weather like the present. Our commissiariat officers,
who are furnished with marquees and considerable com-
forts, such as tables, chairs, and pigeonholes for papers,
&c., complain nevertheless of the difficulties they expe-
rience in going through their duties. Shortly after the
storm of the 14th, I met one of these gentlemen coming
out of Balaklava, his face radient with joy which could
not be easily accounted for at the time, seeing that it was
cold, wet, and the roads were knee-deep. " Congratulate
me, I beg of you," said he ; every blessed paper, return,
book, or account I had in the world was blown away yes-
terday into Sebastopol, and I am happy."
DECEMBER 6.
Last night, at twelve o'clock, there was a great stir
down in the valley of Balaklava. The hoarse hum of
great crowds of men was heard by the pickets, and they
reported the circumstance to the officers of the French
regiments on the heights. Lights were seen moving about
in the redoubts occupied by the Rnssians since the affair
of the 25th of October. It was supposed that the enemy
had received reinforcements, or were about to make a dash
at our position before Balaklava. The Hospital Guards
and the invalid battalion were at once turned out, and the
French, shrouded in their capotes, grimly waited in the
lines the first decisive movement of the enemy. The
night was cold, but not clear, and after a time the noise
of wheels and the tramp of men ceased, and the alarm
was ever. Ere morning, however, we knew the cause of
it, for about five o'clock a.m., an outburst of flames from
the redoubts in which the Russians had hutted themselves
illuminated the sky, and at the same time the fire broke
out in the cottages on the slope of the hill before Kamara.
When morning came, the smoke was seen ascending to
heaven, and the Russians were visible in much-diminished
numbers on the higher plateaux of the hills near Tchergom
The faint rays of the morning sun played on
unets of another portion of the force as they wound
up the road towards Mackenzie's Farm, and passed through
the wood over the right bank of the Tchernaya. The reason
of this retreat remains unknown to us as yet. Perhaps
the Russian general was informed by his spies that the
French had landed at the north side of Sebastopol and
were marching on his flank, for the story of the landing
is universally believed, and is utterly untrue. It is more
probable, however, that the severity of the weather and
want of shelter forced him to abandon the position in the
valley. The French pushed down their cavalry and seized
the plain. T lummies (mock guns) in the en'

vernment of the other country. Depots established for
prisoners in any foreign country are to be supported by
both the Governments. As regards the exchange of pri-
soners, no distinction is made between the respective
subjects of the two Governments who may have been
captured ; but their liberation is to be stipulated, except
in special cases, according to the priority of the date of
their capture. The fifth article refers to the ratification
of the convention which took place in London on the 20th.
of May last.
IN TIIE CRIMEA.—The correspondent of
orning Herald tells a sad tale of the hardships
suffered by our soldiers. Writing on the 3rd instant, he
says :—" Seriously speaking, the miserios and discomforts
of camp ',life are now beyond all powers of description..
There is no comfort or necessary which in England woukt
be thought essential to a man's safety which we have not
1 to do ii
sufficient
Tolerable shelter from the weather, or
health to bear its depressing influences with im-
punity, are luxuries which few in our camp possess. We
thought we were always sure of rations, but even the
supply of those is becoming precarious. In the gale
which destroyed so many of our vessels immense supplies
of stores of all kinds for the army were lost. The defi-
ciency of biscuit has now been made np by ship-loads of
Turkish biscuit from Constantinople; bit ft has only just
arrived, and the roads are in such a condition that it is
almost impossible to get any up to camp : consequently,
several of the divisions have been on half-rations of bread
one day, and on half-rations of biscuit the next, and Kt,
alternately, for the last five days. The whole camp have
been on half-rations of rum, though there never was a
time when it was more required. Of course, when it has
been so difficult to get up food for the men, the horses
have been but badly fed, and are dying off fast, and our
chances of getting up supplies diminish in exact propor-
tion with the number of horses. Very few are in a con-
dition to work, and those must, of necessity, be kept for
the use of the artillery. If the weather keeps on as it is
at present, and we get no supplies of mules and horses,
the whole camp will be on half-rations, and brigades must
be employed even to carry up these. When troops in
winter quarters have double work and half food, it re-
quires no prophet to say what will become of them ; and
the position of the allies will be really. hazardous in the
extreme, unless we receive immediate reinforcements. We
want large and quick suudiesofererything which an army
can want,andcannotdo without—men, horses,ammlinition,
warm clothing, carts, &c. Don't for a moment let your
readers imagine that I am purposely drawing a disheart-
ening picture. I have always striven to avoid such a
charge; but now the truth must be told. It is better that
the public should learn the true state of the case through
the press, than suddenly discover it by some terrible re-
verse to our arms out here. With the allied generals to,
command anda proper amount of troops, we could sweep the
Crimea in three months; but while the nations and Go-
vernments at home are besotted and drunk with the vain
notion that we have only to show ourselves in order for
overcome immense forts and armies, we shall do nothing—
not even hold our own." He also adds that the cholera is
showing itself in much virulence in the Naval Brigade,
and the newly-arrived drafts and regiments, such as the
men for the Guards and Light Division, the 46th, 97th,
and 9th Regiments.
A PARISIAN SWINDLER.—A wealthy Lyons merchant_
arrived in Paris about a fortnight ago on a pleasure trip-
Chance threw him in the way of a charming young man,
named, according to his own account, Count de Sillery,
who offered to show him all the curiosities. The count pro-
posed to begin operations by visiting the Bois de Bologne,
and the merchant suggested that they should take an om-
nibus to go there. An omnibus !my dear sir, you must
not think of such a thing. I will hire a coupe 1" " But
the expense —" "Oh ! I must beg that you will have
nothing at all to say to the coachman !" An offer so
graciously made could not be refused, and the two friend
drove about the wood for several hours. "I am getting
hungry," said the merchant at last, " suppose we go .o the
Palais Royal, and breakfast at one of the cheap restaurants
for I.f. 25c." " Breakfast for such a sum ! Can you think

REV. AND DEAR BRETHREN,
Your simultaneous appointment to Colonial Bishoprics
at once demands and gives an opportunity for an expres-
sion of our regard, our congratulation, and our sympathy.
During the period of our co-operation as Brethren in
the Ministry of the Church. we have entertained a sin-
care regard for your genuine piety, sound learning, and
zealous earnestness in every good work, whereby many
have been provoked to holy emulation.
We congratulate you, and the Churches in Sydney and
the Mauritius, on your elevation to the office of their
chief pastors,- while we humbly implore the Great Head
of the Church Universal fully to qualify you for your
arduous duties, and long to sustain you in the vigorous
discharge of the same.
We beg also to give affectionate expression to our un-
feigned sympathy with you in the trial of natural feelings
and affections which must attend the departure—perhaps
for ever—from all the local associations of country and
friends and home. Our hearts desire and prayer for you
is, that, while forsaking all these for Christ's sake and the
Gospel's, you may find them according to the promise re-
placed tenfold in the associations spiritual and temporal,
to be found in your new sphere of exalted action, and so
we heartily bid you God speed.
TI s having been read by
m names appended to the addres
the Rev. Principal Howson,
The LORD BISHOP of SYDNEY, in returning thanks for
the honour which he felt had been conferred, said :—The
occasion is doubtless a very uncommon one. That two of
the clergy of this archdeaconry and of this borough, who
were connected by many ties—by affection, by common
interests, and common labours—should have been simul-
taneously called to the office of the episcopate in our
colonies, is an event of very unusual occurrence. I am
aware that much of the interest felt in us at this tinie
must be attributed to this remarkable coincidence, and
much more to the kindly feeling which has ever charac-
terised the clergy of this town ; but I should be ungrateful
to God and to you, my brethren, if I did not thankfully
acknowledge that I do feel, deeply feel, that a great honor
and a great benefit have been conferred upon us this day.
The esteem of the wise and the good has in every age
been regarded as one of the highest rewards which man
can receive, and fitly so, for the wise do not lightly repose
their confidence, nor do the good commonly misplace their
regard. I do, therefore, feel that to have received an ad-
dress of this kind from a body of men such as the Liver-
pool clergy, is an honour greater than any which it is in
the power of the mere men of this world to bestow. Had
the regard, which is now expressed, been sought by us, it
had not been given. It has been freely tendered, and has
been given, not because we have done more than others,
for we have done less than many, and have not done more
than the youngest curate of your body may hope to achieve,
but it has been given because we have, to the best of our
ability, endeavoured to do the will of God in seeking the
highest good of our fellow-men. That after a residence of
nearly twenty years amongst you I have been permitted
to receive so unanimous an expression of your good will,
I do regard as a very high honour, and venture to rejoice
that I have lived to attain it. I thank you further, my
brethren, for the benefits you have eonferred upon me, by
strengthening my hands, and by the encouragement I
shall hereafter derive from the proceedings of this day.
The good opinion of my brethren is one of my best cre-
dentials. If I have obtained a good report amongst you,
I may hope to be cordially welcomed by those to whom I
go. If eighty clergymen, of different shades of opinion,
have agreed to this address, some guarantee is afforded to
my future clergy that I may be received by them with
confidence, as one who will endeavour to behave himself
wisely and kindly in his oversight of the Church of Christ.
This address is, therefore, a boon conferred upon me and
upon them. I, for my part, shall endeavour that what
you have so kindly said of me may continue to be verified,
while they will have learned before my arrival that I have
been regarded by those who knew me best as one in whom
they might confide. lam thankful, also, for this address
on still higher grounds. I trust I may look upon it as a
pledge that your interest in myself and my dear brother
will not cease with this occasion, but that we may be long
and frequently remembered by you in your prayers. It
will be an unspeakable comfort and an unfailing source of •
strength to know that our brethren pray for us; that in
our distant dioceses the word of God may have free course
and be glorified., even as it is amongst you, and thanve, the
ambassadors of Christ, may speak our message of reconci-
liation with fidelity and love. May the prayers you offer
up for us return in a rich blessing to your own souls. May
the Holy Spirit be abundantly poured out upon all, guiding,
comforting, and establishing all. I thank you, my bre-
thren, also, for the store of pleasant and profitable recol-
lections which you have permitted us to lay up for a future
day. Very precious to me were those tokens of love and
regard which my beloved flock, and my friends, clerical
and lay, poured in upon us when we left the busy life of
Edge-hill for the quiet of a country parish. Scarcely had
they been arranged in our pleasant home, when the call
came by which they were to be removed to a distant and
very different sphere. And now, in the higher and more
responsible duties of that sphere, the remembrance of this
day, and of the affection and regard of my brethren the
clergy, will, I believe, often animate and encourage me.
How ranch is there in that list of names to instruct and
aid me in my future labour ! What lessons of sound
judgment, of admirable temper, of true benevolence and
manliness of character, may I not derive from that vener-
ble name the foremost of that goodly band. In the
popular assembly, in the mixed committee, in the private
consultation, if I am only enabled to follow the course
which that name suggests, I need not fear that I shall be
betrayed into a failure of temper, an indiscreetness of ex-
pression, or an error of judgment. And could I add to
these qualities the quick apprehension- of whatever is
practicable, the earnest desire to do whatever tends to the
benefit of this great community, and the untiring zeal
with which that desire is carried out which marks the
character of the co-rector of this town ; and yet more,
could I venture to hope that I might combine with these
that comprehensive knowledge of the Word of God—that
eloquent and powerful application of the divine message,
that fearlessness in the defence of evangelical and pro-
testant truth which distinguishes above all his fellows my
beloved friend, the third upon this roll, I might then hope
that Sydney would possess a bishop and Australia a me-
tropolitan, such as the present greatness and future desti-
nies of that young world require. But this cannot be.
I can only endeavour to follow in their steps, establish and
support the institutions they have maintained, and
amongst others one such as this within whose walls we
are assembled, so ably and successfully presided over by
its principal and my friend. I may at least endeavour to
practise in another hemisphere the lessons of wisdom,
faithfulness, and zeal which I have had the opportunity
of studying amongst the clergy of this town. May God
give me grace to be faithful to my trust. May the prayers
offered 'up for us be heard and answered. May you my
brethren never have cause to be ashamed of the confidence
you have reposed in us. I trust that, as I purpose to sail
from this port, other opportunities may be given to me of
saying farewell to many of my brethren.- Yet such cannot
be long afforded us. How many of those dear to me, who
welcomed me on my first coming to this place, have passed
away. From Everton, from St. Augustine's, from St.
Bride's, and now from Chester, have those been removed
whose piety and eloquence, whose learning and usefulness
so often encouraged and aided us in our endeavours
to do our heavenly Father's will. The memory of them
alone remains a very precious possession, and soon the
time must arrive when we also shall be called away
Dear brethren, when that time comes, may the like faith
and hope and joy fill our hearts which sustained and com-
forted theirs. May we feel that the Saviour who sepa
rated us from each other for a season, will soon unite us
I for ever.
The LORD BISHOP of MAURITIUS also returned thanks,.
and called attention to the spiritual condition of his
diocese, which for a long time had been very much neg-
lected, and in which even the members of our own church
were destitute of the means of grace. In one part of it,
for many years, there had been no marriages nor baptisms
performed, except by the captains of ships. There were
no fewer than 60,000 emancipated slaves whom we had
released, indeed, from the galley fetters of slavery, but to
whom we had. not imparted the light or the truth of the
Gospel. These unfortunate men and women were willing
to show their gratitude for any effort that might be made
for them, and the priests of the Church of Rome had not
failed to acquire :an influence over them. The exigencies
of labour there since the slaves had been emancipated,
required the introduction of upwards 100,000 immigrants
from India; yet no steps were taken while these were
being conveyed across the ocean to open their eyes to the,
truths of the Gospel; and even those who had been taught
Christianity in India were allowed to relapse into heathen-
ism, and lately there had been a pagan procession in
the island, which was attended by ten thousand persons,
and at which the most barbarous rites were ceLbrated.
He again thanked them most sincerely.
The proceedings then terminated, and the meeting
eparated
THE WILL Or THE LATE DUCHESS -OF MANCHESTER.

infant children of Lord and Lady Ossulston, seeking to
impeach a will made by the late Duchess of Mane' ester,

dict had been found in favour of the will; after which
new trial was directed. Upon this trial coming on, terms

husband, Thomas Ripley." This letter was sealed and
enclosed with the will in an envelope, and given to Mrs
Ripley in November, 1851. On the sth of August
18152: the testator made a codicil to his will ; and,
after making some additional bequests, it proceeded
as follows (that is to say) :—" I ratify and confirm

the testator then, in the course of conversation, stat
Riple3 came
he was going to build an hospital at Lancaster, on which
Mrs. Bland remarked that she thought he was going to
build schools, and that thereupon the testator requested
Mrs. Ripley to explain the matter to Mrs. Bland, which she
did, by stating that there was to be a school on the same
plan as the Bluecoat Hospital at Liverpool, and that on
this statement being made by Mrs. Ripley, the testator
observed, " Yes, and it will be endowed with between
£3,000 and £4,000 a-year. I have left all to Julia (Mrs.
Ripley); the Mortmain Act compels me to do so, but I am
sure, my dear (addressing and looking at the said Julia
Ripley), you will religiously, scrupulously, and conscien-
tiously carry out t►y views." The bill alleged that Mrs.
Ripley acquiesced in the last-mentioned observation of the
testator, and on its being made took up his hand and kissed
it, in token of her acquiescence therein, and that, if not in
words, she at least by her acts gave the testator to under-
stand that she would carry mails views, if he left his will
and codicil unrevoked. The bill also alleged that between
the 13th and 20th of August, 1852, the objects and pur-
poses of the testator with reference to the school were the
frequent subject of conversation between the testator and
Mrs. Bland, and that these conversations took place for
the most part in the presence of Mrs. Ripley ; and that
before the testator's death Mrs. Ripley told Mrs. Bland
that the testator had left her (Mrs. Ripley) an annuity of
£1,500, the house, and everything appertaining to it, and
that he had previously only left her £1,200 a year, but
that he had added another £3OO a year when he made his
codicil. These allegations were supported by Mrs. Bland's
evidence. The testator died on the 20th of August, 1852.
The 31st paragraph of the bill was as follows :—" The
purpose and object of the said testator, as expressed in the
will so cancelled as aforesaid, and as expressed to the said
Julia Ripley, and agreed to be carried out by her, was
that of buying land and building an hospital or school

operation • and effect of the statute made and passed in
the 9th year of his late Majesty King George 11., entitled
An act to restrain the disposition of lands whereby the
same became unalienable," commonly called the Mortmain
Act. The bill was filed in May, 1853; with the object
before stated. Mrs. Ripley, by her answer to the plaintiff's
bill, denied that she had made any promise to the testator
to induce him to make her his residuary legatee, or that
she ever saw or knew of the contents of the letter of the
6th of November, 1851, until after the testator's death.
aShe also denied ever having heard any such conversation
is that alleged in the bill. Mr. John Ripley, the testator's
brother, and one of the defendants in the suit, in his
answer, said that the testator had repeatedly, both before
and after the will of the 6th of November, in Mrs.
Ripley's presence, stated that the residue, amounting to
£BO,OOO, or £lOO,OOO, would be applied in building and
endowing a charity at Lancaster. Mrs. Ripley denied
ever having heard any such conversation. It was not dis-
puted that the testator, for some time prior to, and down
to the period of his decease, had an intention of founding
a charitable institution for the benefit of his native
town, Lancaster, and that he did not attempt to conceal
that intention. Indeed, such was the expectation at Lan-
caster that he intended to confer some benefit on that town
that on the occasion of his funeral many of the shops in
that place were cloSed, and the Mayor and some of the
Town Council attended it. By the act 9th Geo. IL, chap.
36, commonly called the Mortmain Act, it is provided that
to land or money to be laid out in the purChase of land
shall be given for the benefit of any charitable use, unless
such gift be made by deed, executed in the presence of
two or more witnesses, twelve calendar months at least
before the death of the donor, and be enrolled in Chancery
within six calendar months after the execution thereof,
and unless the same be made to take effect in possession
for the charitable use intended immediately, from the
making thereof, and be without any power of revocation,
reservation, trust, condition, limitation, clause, or agree-
ment whatsoever for the benefit of the donor or grantor,
or of any person or persons claiming under him. Shortly
before the testator made his will, dated in November,
1851, he consulted his solicitor as to the means of carry.
ng out his charitable intention. The solicitor took the
opinion of conveyancing counsel in London, and thereupon
informed the testator that the only means of effecting his
object was •by a compliance with the provisions of the
Mortmain Act: The testator objected to buying land or
investing money in the manner required by that statute,
on the ground that it would abstract more than he could
spare from his business, and he determined to make a
will. He resolved to give the residue to Mrs. Ripley,
taking the chance, as he said to his solicitor, of
her applying it as he in his lifetime was himself
proposing to apply it. In forwarding the will to
the testator, his solicitor expressly told him that
upon any admission by Mrs. Ripley of a secret trust
the gift might be defeated, and that the whole matter
must be left to her as her own. "I had satisfied myself,"
also said the testator, " that any promise would vitiate the
will, and Mrs. Ripley also perfectly understood it." On
the sth of Aw,pust, 1852, the will, by desire of the testator,
was read over to Mrs. Ripley by his solicitor, and the tes-
tator gave the letter of the 6th of November to his soli-
citor, and desired him to read it to himself. His solicitor's
expression was, that he mentally read it, and then put it
into the envelope with the will. t The testator gave back
the envelope with its enclosures to Mrs. Ripley to lock up
again in a safe. When Mrs. Ripley was sent to by the
testator for his will, the solicitor deposed that the testator
said to him, " I have not asked her for any promise, or
anything of that sort, as you told me I was not to do so."
Mrs. Ripley, so far as the 6th of April, 1853, writing to
Mr. John Ripley, the testator's brother, said,—" I cannot
help saying that one accusation is, that it is not my inten-
tention to carry into effect my husband's wishes as to the
charity lie intended to found at Lancaster." And again,
in the same letter, " I declare to you it is my fixed deter-
mination, if it pleases God to spare soy life, to carry
out what you know, as well as I do, wer, the wishes
and intentions of my dear husband, had he lived to
carry them out himself. On this subject I cannot
say more." In her answer to the bill Mrs. Ripley ad-
mitted that the .testator expressed his intention to
devote the bulk of 11;- -tv to charity, and in her
ever said anything to her

Lieut. Maury, U.S.N. Philadelphia
To a people so peculiarly maritime in position
habit, inclination, and let us add by necessity,
book like that whose title stands at the head of
this article must be one of more than ordinary or
ephemeral interest. As an intelligent and inde-
fatigable observer of the physical phenomena which
diversify the liquid and aerial fluids surrounding
our globe, Lieutenant Maury is well and favourably
known in this country as well as in his own ; and
the great and valuable services he has rendered to
the elucidation of those sciences, by which expe-
ditious, safe and successful navigation may be most
certainly promoted, are acknowledged by the
lighest practical and scientific authorities. The
work before us, although ostensibly designed as an
z.ccompanying complement to his Wind and Current
"harts, is, in reality, a record of prolonged and ex-
tensive observation, digested with profound philo-
sophical care, and embodying most important
'results. It abounds in well-arranged information
xelative to meteorology and physical geography,
ms far as these subjects have hitherto been reduced
to ascertained proportions. Of the paramount im-
portance which meteorological knowledge must
prove in any attempt to either regulate or advance
-mautical science, Lieutenant Maury is at once an
eloquent and an earnest expositor, and in forward-
iing this object, which he obviously has deeply at
heart, he has encountered much labour, expended
"much time, and overcome many difficulties. Now,
that partial success has dawned upon his exertions,
his zeal, instead of flagging, has become more con-
centrated and more energetic ; and having suc-
ceeded in rousing general attention to the subject,
he busies himself in directing that attention into
„practically useful channels, He thus, in general
terms, enforces upon his readers

TMPOETIVE OP MARINE METEOROLOGY
We are now about to turn a new leaf in navigation, on
"'which we may confidently expect to see recorded much
.information that will tend to lessen the dangers of the sea,
Aind to shorten the passage of vessels trading upon it. We
ire about to open, in the volume of Nature, a new chapter,
;under the head of Marine Meteorology. In it are written
.he laws that govern those agents which " the winds and
Ale sea obey." In the true interpretation of these laws,
sad the correct reading of this chapter, the planter as
swell as the merchant, the husbandman as well as the
lnariner, and States as well as individuals, are concerned.
They have a deep interest in these laws. For with the
Ihygrometrical conditions of the atmosphere, the well-being
of plants and animals is involved. The health of the in-
valid is often dependent upon a dry or a damp atmosphere,
a, cold blast or a warm wind. The atmosphere pumps up
our rivers from the sea, and transports them through the
clouds to their sources among the hills ; and upon the
regularity with which this machine, whose motions, parts
-and offices we now wish to study, lets down that moisture,
and the seasonable supply of rain which it furnishes to
region of country, to every planter, and upon all cul-
tivated fields, depend the fruitfulness of this country, the
sterility of that. The principal maritime nations, there-
fore, have done well by agreeing to unite upon one plan
of observation, and to co-operate with their ships upon the
lhigh seas with the view of finding out all that patient
research, systematic, laborious investigation may reveal
-1,4) us concerning the winds and the waves. Accordingly,
every one who uses the sea is commanded or invited to
snake certain observations ; or, in other words, to pro-
pound certain queries to Nature, and to give us a faithful
statement of the replies she may make. Now, unless we
have accurate instruments, instruments that will them-
selves tell the truth, it is evident that we cannot get at
the real meaning of the answer that nature may give us.
An incorrect observation is not only useless of itself, but
when it passes undetected among others that are correct,
it becomes worse than useless ; nay, it is mischievous
there, for it vitiates results that are accurate, places before
us wrong premises, and thus renders the good of no value
in these remarks, Lieutenant Maury indicates
no less conclusively the practical navigator than
the experienced meterologist and the anxious
philosophical inquirer. Not less profound, and in
iso degree less practically useful, are the following
observations on
THE GENERAL CIRCULATION OP THE ATMOSPHI
Several years ago I commenced to gather from old sea
journals such information as they might be found to con-
tain relative to the winds and currents of the sea, and to
embody the information so obtained on a series of charts,
'in such a manner as to show by pictures the prevailing
-direction of the winds and currents for every month, and
in every part of the ocean. Indeed, the plan of the under-
taking was to address the eye, to collect the experience of
every navigator, and to present the combined results of
the whole in such a manner, that each one might, with a
Vance, have the benefit of the experience of all who had
'preceded him in any of the frequented parts of the ocean.
This enterprise has been seconded both by the Govern-
ment and individuals. American shipmasters, generally,
have come into it with great zeal. They make the observa-
tions required on every voyage, and send them to me at
Washington. There are some thousand or more ships
-voluntarily co-operating with me ; and, as it might be
supposed, from such a number of active and intelligent
observers, we are collecting materials of great value.
-itlunng the course of these investigations, many interest-
-sing facts have been developed, amounting, in some cases, actnal discoveries of great interest—such as a new
s-ontc, which shortens the sailing distance to the equator
some fifteen or twenty per cent., and, of con -e
ipro-
portionately ports beyond • the s rexistence in tle
North Atlantic a a regular monsoon—and in the North
pacific, near the west course, of a perpetual south-west
trade-wind near the equator—
a unique phenomenon ; also
the existence, near the same place, of a system of mon-
soons. My present purpose, however, is not to speak of
these discoveries, but rather to treat of the insight which
'these investigations, undertaken on such a
.large scale,
.afford as to the general system of atmospherical circula-
tion over the earth. They teach us to regard the atmos.

ENLISTMENT BILI
on the motion for
gentleman hims 4
FOREIG
The adjourned debate
committee on the Foreign Enlistment Bill was reamed
by Mr CONOLLY, who maintained that the bill was inde-
fensible in principle, and that the strongest arguments
against it might be found in the speeches of its defenders
and in the miserable fallacies of Lord John Russell.
A. debate ensued, in the
purse of which
Mr. DISRAELI, on behalf of his party, said they had no
wish to throw any unfair obstacle in the way of the bill.
He had come down to the house prepared to go into com-
mittee that evening, and to take the third reading the
next day
Lord J. RUSSELL admitted that the government had no
reason to complain of the opponents of the bill, and sug-
gested that it would
public interest that t
better for all parties and for the
ie house should go into committee.
- After some remarks from Mr PACE and Mr. Bureau,
the Speaker left the chair, when the clauses were discussed
and agreed to without amendment, certain proposed verbal
amendments being deferred until the third reading.
COMMON LAW PROCEDURE (IRELAND.)-Mr. I. BUTT
obtained leave to bring in a bill to extend to Ireland the
provisions contained in the 18th section of the Common
Law Procedure Act of 1854.
The house adjourned at twenty minutes after 8 o'clock.
FRIDAY, DEC. 22.
The Speaker took the chair at four o'clock
brewers and beersellers of the borough of Rochdale, for
the abolition of the present system of licensing public-
houses.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer brought up the Savings
Bank Bill, which was read a first time.
THE TEA DUTY.—TheCnANcELLon of the EXCIIEQUEE
—I take this opportunity of giving a notice which is of a
somewhat unusual character probably, but which I trust
the house will consider justifiable under the circumstances
of the case. It is a notice to the effect that, without
giving any other intimation whatever, or holding out any
presumption as to any other financial measure of any other
kind, it is the intention of the Government, in the event
of the continuance of the war, when the time shall arrive
for making the financial statement for 1855, that the duty
on tea, instead of progressively falling until it shall reach
ls. per pound, shall continue at the rate at which it now
stands, of ls. 6d. It is on account of the enactment of the
house being of such a long date, and that diminution of
duty having been so long looked forward to, that the
Government have thought it right to give this early notice
of their intention to make this alteration in the law.
THE MILITARY UNIFORM.—In reply to Mr. Ewart, Mr.
S. HERBERT said that in the new patterns for the coats
of the officers and privates the present distinction of
epaulettes was done away with.
MINIE RIFLES.—In answer to a question, Mr. S.
HERBERT said it was the intention of the government to
arm the whole of the army with the 3linie rifle, and they
were being issued as fast as the manufacturers could sup-
ply them.
Sir J. PAKINGTON gave notice that early after
Christmas he should move for leave to bring in a bill for
the better encouragement of education in England and
Wales.
Sir J. GRAHAM, in answer to Mr. Disraeli, said that he
had no reason to believe that the Russians had block-
aded Memel.
FOREIGN ENLISTMENT BILL.
On the motion for the third reading of the Foreign En-
listment Bill,
Sir E. DE RING moved that it be read the third time
that day six months.
Mr. COBDEN seconded the amendment, and entering
upon the general question, argued that if we were to carry
on the war of invasion against Russia by land, it must be
carried on in a different manners and upon a different
scale. The capture of Sebastopol would not destroy
Russian power. Peace alone would solve the difficulties
which have led to this great contest. He, therefore,
recommended that we should accept peace upon the
terms laid down in what were called the four points.
Moderation would effect all the objects for which we were
fighting.
A lengthened discussion ensued, in the course of which,
Lord J. RUSSELL said, if we had had a large peace
establishment, it would have been unnecessary to resort to
the employment of foreigners ; but such was not the case,
and hence the necessity for the present measure. He
defended the conduct of the government as regarded the
threat of resignation, by insisting that it was perfectly
legitimate for Ministers to say, " We require these powers
to carry on the war, and if you will not grant them we
decline the responsibility of going on, and you had better
allow the war to be conducted by those in whom you
have more confidence." They were told by those who
said they ought not to employ mercenaries that they
ought to raise the bounty, which was of course
an appeal to the mercenary feelings of the people.
In reply to the arguments of Mr. Cobden, he said the real
object of the war was to check the spirit of aggrandise-
ment of Russia, which betrayed itself in a most unjust and
unjustifiable aggression of that power upon Turkey. This
would give to Russia a preponderance which would be
dangerous to every country in Europe, and it was there-
fore a wise policy to meet it in the outset before it had
become too strong to leave a chance of coping with it with
any hope of success. He concluded by saying—" Having
stated the other day, at the end of the first discussion,
what were the general provisions of the treaty with Austria,
I think the house will agree that I did not deceive them,
nor overstate those provisions. If so, I cannot be justly
chargeable with misleading the House, or attempting to
give an exaggera` ed notion of the provisions of the treaty.
Having stated so much, I will repeat my belief that,
although not contained in the literal terms of the treaty,
that as Austria will find we do not propose to diminish
the territories of Russia—as we propose to leave her a
great and powerful state, and only seek securities as ne-
cessary for Austria as they are for England and France,
in order to obtain a durable peace—that unless Russia
shall accept such fair and moderate terms which it will be
. our duty to propose whenever the minister of the Emperor
of Russia shall declare that he is directed to enter into
negociations—l feel convinced, I say, that if these terms
are not accepted by the Emperor of Russia, if he is of
opinion that that great scheme began in the reign of the
Empress Catherine, if not before, must be persevered. in,
we shall have before the opening of the next campaign the
alliance of Austria in an offensive and defensive treaty
(hear, hear, and cheers). I state to you that although
Austria is not literally bound by such a course, I think
she is morally bound by the stipulations she has entered
into. I have always stated that we might be obliged to
have a large and protracted war unless Austria was a
party in that war ; but my belief is that if Austria joins
us, and before long we have the accession of Prussia, we
shall be in a position to say that the war will not be pro-
tracted, but will be ended by a durable, a satisfactory, and
an honourable peace."
Sir J. PA.KINGTON expressed his belief that one cause
of the war was to be found in the dispatches of the noble
lord to the court of Russia, which led the Emperor to
form a wrong estimate of the temper and feeling of the
people of this country. Had the Government last July
embodied the militia, and thus established an available
reserve, there could not have arisen the necessity for this
most objectionable bill. He alluded to the desertion of
the Conservatives by the Peelite party, and said he was
not surprised that a bill like the present should emanate
from such a source, for they might well be called the
political free lances of England.
Mr. BRIGHT said it would be a most difficult under-
taking to keep Turkey in her present position in Europe.
The Turkish character was becoming known, and on the
Stock Exchange she was obliged to pay more for a loan
than Russia could obtain it for, were it legal to advance
it. The English Government had systematically prevented
the efforts of Austria and France to settle matters with-
out having recourse to war, and with it, therefore, rested
the responsibility of the war.
Upon a division the motion for the third reading was
carried by 173 to 137; majority 38.
The bill was then read a third time.
Some amended clauses were added, after which the bill
passed, and the house adjourned at a quarter to two
o'clock.
SATURDAY, DEC. 23.
The Speaker took the chair at two o'clock
ENLISTMENT OF FOREIGNERS Brs,L.—A message was
brought from the Lords, announcing that their lordships
had agreed to the amendments of the Commons to this
bill without any amendment.
A NEW WRIT was ordered for Sunderland, in the room
of Mr. W. D. Seymour, who had accepted the office of
Recorder of Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
__
MARRIAGES EXTENSION.—Mr. HEYWOOD gave notice
that on Thursday, the Ist of February, he would move for
leave to bring in a bill to extend and alter an act passed
in the sth and 6th years of the reign of Wm. IV., so far as
relates to marriages within certain of the degrees of affi-
nity not prohibited in Scripture.

The Moniteur publishes the- following des_
Admiral Hamelin, dated Kamiesch Bay, Dec. 12 :
" One thousand men arrived on the 10th from the Bos-
phorus. English and French ships are bringing to-day
3,300 more, with munitions of war. The town for the
last two days has been keeping up a tolerably heavy can-
nonade. The enemy has made two vigorous sallies upon
our lines and upon those of the English. When they
arrived upon the parapet they were received with a well-
sustained fire of musketry, and were driven back at the
bayonet's point, after an obitinate contest
The Indus arrived at Marseilles on Thursday, from
Constantinople, with dates of the 10th, and accounts from
Balaklava to the Bth. The Vladimir and a second Russian
steamer arrived on the 6th on the French flank outside
the Quarantine Point, and opened fire. The Valorous, the
Terrible, and a French steamer, compelled them to put
back under the batteries. The French repel the continual
sallies of the Russians. The 9th and 90th Regiments and
a part of the 34th had arrived since the 4th. General
Pennefather was ill at Balaklava. Lord Cardigan had
left for England.
The Moniteur of Friday contains the following official
despatches:—
THE CHARGE D'AFFAIRES OF FRANCE AT CONSTANTI-
NOPLE TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE MINISTER OF FO-
REIGN AFFAIRS AT PARIS.
PERA, DEC. 10.—Prince Napoleon is making his prepa-
rations to return to the Crimea, although the state of his
health still requires care. The English steamers Candia,
Ripon, Emeu, and Thames, arrived yesterday or to-day
with 4,266 men of the Seventh Division."
"THE CHARGE D'AFFAIRES OF FRANCE AT CONSTAN-
TINOPLE TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE MINISTER OF
FOREIGN AFFAIRS AT PARIS.
PERA, DEC. 15.—General de Montebello has arrived
from the Crimea. He will leave for France on the 22nd.
The position before Sebastopol continued to be very good
on the 13th."
"ADMIRAL HAMELIN TO THE MINISTER OF MARINE.
MONTEZUMA, KAMIESCH, DEC. 7.—Yesterday a Rus-
sian frigate and a Russian schooner left Sebastopol, and
sailed in all haste towards the bay of Strelestka. The
Megere, which was on the watch, exchanged cannon shot
with these two vessels, which sire received at the entry
of Strelestka by our two look-out ships, anchored in that
bay.. At the approach of an English frigate, which three
other Fnglish and French frigates followed, the enemy
retraced his route and returned in great haste to Sebas-
topol. None of the Russian balls reached our ships nor
the left of our troops encamped at Strelestka."
RUSSIAN PREPARATIONS FOR THE NEXT
CAMPAIGN
A letter from St. Petersburgh, dated Dec. 8, says :—lt
ought not to be supposed in England that because Russia
remained entirely passive this summer in the Baltic, and
allowed her ships to be cooped up at Cronstadt and Swea-
borg, that she intends to follow a similar course in the
ensuing campaign in the Baltic. It may with truth be
asserted that the declaration of war took Russia by surprise,
and that, with all the gigantic resources she possesses,
neither the army nor the fortresses were at all prepared
for active warfare. The same may be said with regard to
the navy, and to a much greater extent, both in the Baltic
and Black Sea.
But the extensive preparations now making in the
imperial arsenals for putting the Baltic fleet in a condi-
tion not only to carry on a defensive war, but even to
assume the offensive, are of such vast magnitude that they
ought not to be overlooked in England or thought lightly
of. The most important of these measures is the imme-
diate formation of no less than twenty-six reserve com-
panies of sailors or ships' crews, to replace those that may
be swept off by British and French cannon-balls next
summer. According to the Russian system, the Baltic
fleet is divided into three divisions ; the head-quarters of
the first and second being at Cronstadt, and of the third
at Sweaborg. The new companies or crews are 'to be
formed of those sailors now on furlough and those whose
time of service expires on the 13th Jannary next.
The old line-of-battle ship Andreas, Bt, is to be con-
verted into a block ship in lieu of the Arsis, which will
be fitted for active service. The new screw three-decker
building here is to be called the Emperor Alexander, and
is to be ready for service by the end of March next.
The impracticable old ship Emgeiten, 84, is to do duty only
as a harbour ship, and will be replaced by the Natro-
mennia, 74, and receive the eighth equipage or crew.
The old line-of-battle ship Empress Alexandra, 81, the
frigate Proserpine, 44, and the brig Kasansky, 20, are to
broken up as being perfectly unserviceable.
The steam squadron which had left Sweaborg for a
cruise on the withdrawal of the British fleet, consisted of
the Kamtschatka, 16, 540-horse power, carrying the flag
of Vice Admiral Tirinow ; the Smiloi, 12, 400 horse
power ; the Olaf, 16, 450 horse power ; the Grosaschi,
6, 450-horse power; the Chrabroi, 6, 300 horse power;
the Gremiaschoi, 6, 400 horse power ; the Burik, 6, 300
horse power; the Otwaschnoi, 6, 400 horse power; and
the Bogatyr, 6, 300 horse power—all paddle-wheel
steamet s.
Since then another squadron has left the port of Swea-
borg and been out on a cruise, consisting of the line-of-
battle ships Procher, 84, with the flag of Vice Admiral
Rumjanzow ; the Pultawa, 84, the Brienue 74 ; and the
Vladimir, 84 —towed respectively by the steam frigates
Olaf, Gremiaschoi, Rurik, and Smiloi. At the completion
of their cruise they proceeded to Cronstadt, where they
remain for the winter. There are, therefore, four line-of-
battle ships and four steam frigates less now at Sweaborg
than there were in the summer.
Tice MISFORTUNES OF WAIL—Four sons from one
family, in the neighbourhood of Maidstone, have been
engaged in the Crimean war, all of whom have been killed.
TuE non-commissioned officers and privates of the South
Devon Militia have subscribed the handsome sum of £169
10s. sd. towards the Patriotic Fund.—Exeter Post.
THE 82ND REGlMENT.—lnstructions have been received
by this regiment to be in readiness to leave Edinburgh,
for Corfu, about the end of this month. The Balicarra
has been chartered for the conveyance of the corps, and
the port orembarkation will probably be Liverpool.
TILE CZAR'S NAME-DAY was kept at Berlin on the
18th, the Feast of St. Nicholas, according to the Russian
calendar. The Russian Ambassador, Baron Budberg, gave
a dinner, at which the " Health of the Czar" was proposed
by M. Manteuffel, the Prussian Premier. Baron Budberg
in turn proposed the " Health of the King of Prussia."
The next day the Russian Ambassador dined at court.
STOVES FOR THE CRIMEA.—A large number of stoves
for the Crimea have been sent to the Tower, from which
place they will be forwarded in a few days to their desti-
nation. Several hundred tin pipes were also brought,
which will be fixed in the stoves when they are placed in
the tents. _ _ _ _
IRON BATTERIES FOR THE BALTIC.—The batteries are
to be forty in number, and are to be ready in March next.
They will be flat-bottomed, with round stem and stern,
and nearly 2,000 tons' burthen, one hundred and eighty
feet long, fifty-six feet wide, twenty feet deep, and pro-
pelled by horizontal engines of two hundred-horse power.
The strongest materials are to be employed in the build-
ing of these formidable engines of war. Each of the
plates with which they will be encased is twelve feet long,
three feet wide, and four inches thick ; and each battery
will require seven hundred tons of those plates. From
experiments which have been made, and of which these
batteries are the result, it has been found that the strength
of iron increases enormously in proportion to its integral
thickness as compared with the same amount of metal in
lamina or single plates, however closely or firmly they
may be united. These gunboats are to be armed with
twelve of the largest Lancaster guns. Each boat will
have two decks, the upper being bomb proof, eight inches
thick, and the lower will be the fighting deck.
THE HOSPITAL AT SCUTA.RI.— A correspondent of The
Morning Post tells us something of the nurses at Scutari :
" Miss Nightingale is, of course, the directress, assisted
by Mrs. Bracebridge. I hear that ten of the nurses are
Sisters of Charity, ten from Miss Sellon's sisterhood, five
from the Bishop of London's training institution, and the
remainder from Miss Nightingale's own hospital. When
the staff of nurses arrived, the embassy-very properly sent
two attaches to land them, and all the heads at Scutari
exerted themselves in every way to contribute to their
comfort. The quarters in the south-east tower were given up
to them. Every one speaks in the highest possible terms
of Miss Nightingale as a very sensible, lady-like, and holy-
minueu creature, anu inrs. Driuxuriugc --
every way admirably adapted for her important position.
The following extract from a Scutari letter will be read
with interest : --` On my arrival here, my wound was not

The U. S. steam-ship Pacific, Nye, arrived at New York

In the municipal elections iu the United States, the
Know-Nothings had been almost entirely successful. It
is stated that there is not a single applicant for the office
of Governor for the territory of Utah, soon to become
vacant by the_expiration of Brigham Young's term.
A run had been made upon-the Savin
York, by the working-classes.
General T. H. Adams was elected Governor of South
Carolina on the 11th.

Five propellers were frozen in at Cleveland
Erie, and the propeller Baltic, which had been

It was reported that the Laumann-house, at Portage
Falls, was entirely consumed by fire on the evening of the
12th.
The cotton-mill of Wm. H. Cary, at Medway Village,
Boston, was destroyed by fire on the 15th ; loss, $14,000.
The failure of Messrs. Blodgett and Co., of Boston, had
been announced. It is stated that they owe between
$1,900,000 and $2,000,000, and show a surplus of $200,000
or $300,000. The failures at the South and West, and the
utter impossibility of collecting the vast sums due to them
is assigned as the cause. The suspension of Messrs.
Taylor and Cassellv. at New Orleans. and four commission
and grocery firms, was also announced.
In the Senate, on the 11th, a bill to establish a uniform
rate of naturalisation throughout the United States, to
act prospectively upon those foreigners only who entered
the United States after the passage of the act, was intro-
duced, read, and referred to the Judiciary Committee. The
bill extended the term of naturalisation to twenty-one
years. In introducing the bill, Mr. Adams denied he had
any connexion with the Know-Nothings, or with any
other political secret association, and disclaimed any hos-
tility to foreigners ; but he thought emigration dangerous,
inasmuch as foreigners ranged themselves with Aboli-
tionists. He introduced the bill because he had learned
that a band of Germans had burned an American senator
in effigy. Mr. Brodhead moved that the Appropriation
Bill of last session, for the support of the ocean mail
steamers, be referred to the Committee on Post Roads.
He thought the allowance was too high, and that the
steamers were utterly useless for war vessels. He would
give tEe notice, and Stake the vessels at their appraised
value. The bill was ultimately laid on the table.
In the House of Representatives, on the 11th, leave to
offer a resolution, requesting the President to tender his
mediation in the pending war in Europe, was refused.
On the 12th, a bill for the "Better Preservation of Life
and Property on the Long Island and New Jersey Coasts"
was passed by a large majority. The bill authorises the
Secretary of the Treasury to establish additional stations
along the coasts of Long Island and New Jersey, and
change other stations, with the view of giving effect to
this act. It likewise provides for the appointment of
keepers and a general superintendent.
Mr. Wallbridge had, in a long speech, introduced his
motion for Repealing the Duty on Foreign Coal. It was
expected that it would be carried by a large majority. A
memorial had been presented from the American Philo-
sophical Society asking an outfit to search for Dr. Kane's
Arctic Expedition.
It was understood at Washington that no business of
importance would be transacted until after the holidays.
The correspondent of the New York Herald says there is
evidence that the conference at Ostend met in compliance
with instructions from Washington, and it was only in
consequence of these instructions that Messrs. Buchanan
and Mason were induced to become parties to it ; and that
the conference was to consider but one subject—the Cuba
question. The report in the auto appartment announced
that the safety of the United States required, and their
interest demanded, the possession of Cuba, by negotiation
and purchase, if possible; by force, if necessary.
According to Washington advices, the President was
extremely anxious to accomplish a modification of the pre-
sent tariff, the raising of four new regiments, and the
increase of the navy.
The New York Journal of Commerce says, " The
present war, if it humbles the power of Russia, as we be-
lieve in the end it must, will put a new commercial aspect
upon this whole part of the world. The Porte has, indeed,
been anxious to develop the resources of this region by
attracting hither foreign trade and capital, but the condi-
tion in which it was bound by treaties to keep the Black
Sea has vastly impeded its enlightened plans. All nations
besides Russia may find satisfaction in the prospect that
this state of things will soon cease for ever.'
CILIFORNIA. —The steam-ship North Star had arrived
at New York, from Aspinwall, on the morning of the 11th,
with a week's later news from the Pacific, and specie and
gold-dust to the amount of $1,384,005 on freight.. The
mines in some places continued to yield good returns. In
other places the early rains had spoiled the works of the
miners, and delayed for a time their chances of " making
a pile." A nugget of gold, weighing three-and-a-half
pounds, had been taken out of Hornitas Creek, Mariposa
County.
From Oregon the reports of the hostility of the Indians
still continue, and it was believed that they had deter-
mined upon a combined hostile demonstration against the
whites. A severe fight had taken place near Portland, in
which five persons were killed and several wounded.
The gold excitement continued, but there were doubts as
to the genuineness of the article represented to be found
Incendiaries were busily and successfully at work at Port-
land.
MEXICO.—The steamship Orezeba had arrived at New
Orleans, with dates from Mexico to the 6th instant. In
an engagement at Morelia, department of Michoacan, on
the 21th November, the rebels were entirely routed, and
300 of them killed. General Rehagary, the governor of
the province, who commanded the Government forces,
was also killed. The election as to whether Santa Anna
should continue President of the Republic was progress-
ing. He had issued a decree making it compulsory for
Government employe's to vote, under a penalty of dis-
missal from office in the event of a refusal. The revolution
appears to be gaining ground, notwithstanding the above
mentioned reverse. It is said that the Government of
Honduras has agreed to sell Tigre Island to the United
States for the sum of $20,000. The ownership of the
island is, however, disputed by the Government of Sal-
vador. One hundred and sixty of the compatriots of
Count Boulbon, had been released by theErder of Santa
Anna, as a mark of esteem to the Emperor of France.
Five civil judges had been suspended from their offices, iu
consequence of having made disrespectful communications
to the President. The plague was making great ravages
in the interior. The cities of Mexico and Vera Cruz had
voted almost unanimously in favour of continuing Santa
Anna as President. _ _
CANADA.—The Canadian Parliament was to be ad-
journed on the 15th instant. Lord Elgin was to give his
assent to the Clergy Reserves Bill, and the Abolition of
Feudal Reserve Bill, and then to resign in favour of Sir
Edmund Head. His Lordship was expected to leave New
York by steamer about the 23rd. The Reciprocity Bill
for Nova Scotia passed the Legislature on the 11th by a
majority of twenty-two.
From the Sandwich Islands we learn that the treaty
with the United States had been assented to by the Royal
Family. The arrival of a portion of the Japan squadron
at Honolulu had created a great sensation.
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, 13th Dec.
MONEY.—The general features of the money market
were encouraging, though there was no change in the
rates of interest. The supply of money on demand was
rather increasing, and it was freely loaned on available
securities at 7 per cent. The demand for commercial
paper was limited, and the best names could not be dis-
counted under 10 or 12 per cent. There had been a
number of failures among the small dealers, from the
effects of the high rate of discount prevailing. The want

ing away of booms at the coves, and the breaking adrift of a.
great quantity of timber, saw logs, and deals. To-day the
weather is moderate. The brig Ant, hence 2Sth Nor., for
Falmouth, was driven on shore at Green Island during the
storm.—Dec. 9th.—Weather very cold, river full of ice. The
Lady of the Lake, Duncan, hence 30th ult., for Greenock, is
on shore at Point St. Denis, and the Pearl is on shore at
Kamouruska. The Pearl, Courtwich Pill, and the Pearl, for
Falmouth, left here about the same time (30th Nov.), but it is
not known which is the one on shore. Four square-rigged
vessels were at anchor off Havre Island 3rd instant, and it
was feared could not ride out the gale. Later advices front
below state that there are six vessels on shore. The barque
Hope, hence for Liverpool, (cleared 15th Nov.,) was lost on
the 2tth, on a reef of rocks off Mille Vaches. There is a great
deal of ice in the river.

OF 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 principal scenes being given. The following is the
outline 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
44hrilis kept in bondage by six knightly
chiefs, who hay allied her love." But there is a
seventh whose lo he 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
him bright armour and a steed, and to try her arts of
enchantment, in order to tempt him to her arms. The
demons admit the scheme to be a good one; but when
she disappears they laugh incredulously, exclaim that do
what she will it is sure to be "no go," and sink " taking
sights." The next scene is an enchanted cave, into which,
after a dance by enchantresses and satyrs, Kalyb leads St.
George, attired as a Roman boy, and attended by a group
of little pages, dressed like himself. Kalyb invites St.
George to caress her. He turns away, and when she asks
him what she can do to secure his love, he replies that she
were must first make him lord of the enchanted cave, and then
reveal his birth, name, and parentage. Kaylb consents
to all he asks. She unfolds io him the stori; of his birth
and parentage, and then leads him to a couch, and sits at
his feet. Satyrs squeeze grapes into golden cups, St.
George drinks, enchantresses and satyrs dance before him,
and during the dance, Kalyb presents him with her silver
wand. Armour is brought by her command, and she and
the enchantresses buckle it upon St. George. She next
presents him with the sword Ascalon, telling him to
" Rigbtly use i
No strength cangeafc: no battle-axe can bruise it."
The " good steed Bayard" is next introduced, richly capa-
risoned, and presented to the knight, that he may be " fit
.es to the

CAITTIoN TO HOUSEKEEPERS.—A Simple-looking lad,
about 16 years- of age, called the other day at a house in
.„
n-uskisson-street and stated that a basket was at the rail-
Way for the master of the said house; that, as the porters
at the.station. were- so • very busy, they 'had not time to
tleliverit ; . and flint his father, who .was are of the railway
Porters, had sent ;him to say that unless it was sent for,
and theearriag,e paid before three o'eloCk that afternoon,
the
basket wouhrbe sent back again ;' but if the mistress
of the -house wouldgive him the money, he would fetch it,
and deliver' it safe. The young lady. who spoke to the lad
asked what the mader's name was, when be immediately
replied Mr. --,..which was quite correct; she, however,
'equested.liim to.go to her father's office, which was not
far
away, saying• that the railway company were bound to
Lueliver the parcel, and dare not send it back again. The
"°Y, firtingit waS'",:no go," said, " Oh, very well ; I have
n time to.gcr to your father's office ; •it is now half-past
two o'clock, and the parcel will be on the way back again
half•aia-hour's time:-," and he took his departure without
°utainingthelin." This has latterly become a practice
abOUt Christmas time; and the public should be on their
guard against sure imposition.
ACTION n A SEAMAN TO RECOVER WAGES. —On
Saturday neck, in -the'Court of Queen's Bench, an action
Was tried in-which the plaintiff'was an able seaman named
'Leib'', and -the defendants were Messrs. Coulborn and
others, mereerauts and shipowners, at Liverpool, trading
under the stoe-of Messrs. Lodge, Pritchard, and Co. The
11,31aintiff soughtlo-recover £3l, due for wages on a voyage
defendants
Liverpool !to 'Geelong and back to Liverpool. The
'efendants paid -tell 'into-court, and also pleaded mutiny,
extortion and set-off. It-appeared that the plaintiff sailed
11 Liverpool in May, ;1653, on board the -Banker's
).°ln
aughter, a passenger ship 'bound for Geelong. On her
arrival at Geelong •al-arge portion of the crew deserted. The
master
engaged what hands Ite could, and among the rest
four runners to Romlyay, toot-10m he agreed to pay the sum
Zlo each. Aceorffing -to the evidence of the plaintiff
`:12,1 two others of the trew,.the master voluntarily offered
.4) give, and did give, a gratuity of £2O to each of the
crew who continued with the snip, which sailed in due
eeurse and arrived in England. When the vessel arrived
at
Liverpool the owners refused to pay the plaintiff ids
,lages, upon the ground that he had been mutinous, anal
"le present action was Thereupon •brought. —The defence
Ilow relied upon by the defendants was, that the plain-
tiff, *.ring the voyage, had extorted the. sum of £2O
from .the master of the slip, and they ought to set off
that sum wminst the plaintiff's claim, which they said
was covered'hy the £2O and 1.1.
_paid into court.—Lord
campheil said the question far the jury was, whether the
sum of -AO which had been paid to -tine plaintiff was a
mere
dutyN,ny voluntarily given by the master, in breach
of his
th tte the owners • or whether,-aSethe master said,
f„..e payment was extorted from him by the plaintiff's re-
to .do his duty. In the former ease the plaintiff
had be entitled to a verdict ; but not so if the money
17.,, been -extoited, for in that case it might be recovered

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE broke out early on Friday,
r
a warehouse at the south end of Mersey-street.
Intelligence of the oecurrence did not reach the authorities
b„ 61 shortly after ,six o'clock, and in a short time the
I;glnes were on the.shot. The conflagration at this time
thas blazing from thezeof and windows at the back part of
a Premises, and it became very evident that the fire had
,been kindled long before it was discovered. The wind
blowing very strong, and Mr. Hewitt, who was on the
Wand with a brigade of about 50 men, deemed it advis,
abe to use every exertion 4,e prevent the fire spreading to
ailea adjog premises. By the most incredible labour
ke'.,Perseverance, and at ,considerable risk, the men sue-
to,aled in their object, and the destruction was altogether
41aned to two warehouses. This is the more fortunate,
ah vue warehouses are surrounded by dwelling houses on
Zgeuth side, and manufactories and shops on the north
h',,,east sides. Frontinm the larger of the two warehouses
ae-extensive bread bakery of Messrs Leftwich and Co.,
'e, has been injured to a very slight extent ; and on the
Ap'er'll side is the large sail manufactory of Mr. Cox. The
biat was entirely extinguished shortly before ten o'clock ;
