our date is of necessity more early.

At Home. Such a frost as we have not
had for many years has interrupted the
supply of water, and caused much incon-

the time, but was speedily suppressed.-

But the chief events of the month were con-

very large majority, Lord Aberdeen and the
Duke of Newcastle resigned. Lord Derby
was then sent for by the Queen to form a
ministry, but he could not succeed. Lord John

failed. Lord Palmerston was then sent for,

"DEATH has held high carnival of late. His prey has been of the largest and the best. By thousands, men of sinewy frames and fearless heartsthe physical nobility of their respective races and not a few of them of en

nobled as well as gallant blood, have fallen in the battle or the siege. By tens of thousands they have perished -Turk and Russian, Englishman and Frenchman-by the sickness that is even more wasteful than the sword, of which it seems but the shadow. Two

hundred thousand lives are estimated thus to have been sacrificed in little more than twelve months of war. But none of the successive events by which this vast aggregate has been piled up -not the slaughter of Sinope, nor the sanguinary struggles before and around Sebastopol made a more rapid or profound sensation than has the death of that one man whose corpse lies yet unburied in a frozen corner of this great Europe. The blow which overwhelms an army with destruction, does not so loudly reverberate as the dying groan of a solitary monarch.
