At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29 . 750 in.; the mean daily reeding an Monday was 30.022 in. ; the mean temperature of the week wee 37.7 dep., which is about the anryze of the same week in thirty eight years. The meal, daily temperature was on Sunday 38.6 deg., after which it steadily deceaed till Thursday, when it was 36 deg., or tl3 deg. below the average. I rose on the two following days to 30 2 deg. and 38 . 4 deg. The wind blew generally from the northeast. The mean dew point temperature was 11 . 8 deg. Tae Foo I.r LONDON.—This usually punctual 'intent cf our metropolis having delayed its appearance by about three months, has at length descended with all its stcient characteristics On Monday night a dense fog b,. gas to set in over the metropolis about five o'clock, and in the course of an hour it becalms thick and chilly. The pavements were soon greasy, and the air so thick that the eadth of the street was distance enough to remove objects out of sight. During the night the drivers of vehicles ?mewling along the streets were obliged to have torches, in addition to their usual lights. By the morning the fog bad increased in density, making the confusion of the night lull more confounded, and past ngers had much difficulty in Ending their nay to their places of destination. As the day advanced the inconvenience of the damp, dark, and misty atmosphere became more felt, and in many places business was suspended. In the government offices, the banks, and other public offices, gas burners were kept lighted all day sad the greatest inconvenience, and in many cues a total cessatem of butane was the consequence of the first great fog of the season. On the River many of the steamers awed to p!v, and along the streets several accidents, but loss of a serious nature, occurred. A great deal of con- Nies, attended with several triflin g _ accidents, woe observed amongst the craft in the Pool below London Bridge. Last night the fog was as dense as twenty-four boars before. _ _ THE OUTRAGE ON THE YORK AND NORTH MID LEM J. 31.—Tbe man named Darid Halliday, who was apprehended on suspicion of being gummed in the death of Mrs. OWED, who wan killed by ether being thrown or driven out of a carriage of a train on the York :and North Midland Hallway, underwent a deal examination to-day at the police court of this town. The facts connected with the affair are of the most extraor. tug character. The unfortunate deceased was the wife of a licensed victualler of this town, and some few days beck visited some friends at Hell. On preparing to return limas by the train the deceased and her friends, who aecom pusied her to see her off, encountered Halliday, who, it would seem, was about to depart by the same train. On reaching t he station he inquired of her what Slant she was pies in. She replied, " Second class ;" and he observed, get one too," and went into the booking oaks. He cuss out with a second elms ticket. He had also a third claw ticket (return) in his hand, which he tore up. She teemed) got iatoadault oompartment,there being noon. it but herself. Soddenly, however, Halliday joined her, when she remsrked to one of her friends, " There is no one is the carriage but Halliday and myself, and I don't like Is es" Halliday observed—" You are all right with me ;" ad, after some few other words, the train went on with the Mose seated. Just after it had re-started from an inter- Modiste station, the port*? of the train saw a woman pert kr head out of a carriage and call out, "A thief, a thief;" sad he saw a hand attempting to open the does. He called at " Keep in, keep is ;" but the door almost immediately afterwards dew open sideways, and a female was thrown or humped nut. Kb. was found lying on one of the siding metals, her head bleeding, and in an insensible condition. She wee removed to the station, and then to her husband's residence here, where, after scene days' suffering, she died. Oa the train reaching the Rest statics, Beverley, the com partment was found empty, Halliday had contrived to swipe, and it transpired that be bed eemeseded in leaving the tentage on the traia commenting im slacken its sped. His arrest, however, was quickly effecesd. Dr. Sand w ith,who at tended the deceased, spoke of the injury which she sustained by leaving the carriage, sad the ease of death. Several cir anattutere were adduced, from which it would appear that the nafortunue woman in all probability imagined that the kiln lid not entirely left the platform of the station, and that there was Mebane. of escaping tam the carriage, when, la ittemptiog it, she f e ll en to t h e li ne, and sustained her fatal levity. lhe magistrate determined upon sending the pri soner for trial at the nest 'mites at York, upon the charge elmuslaughter, and the toronar'sjary decided in a similar mat HITENsITE FORE AT FOXHOLES, NEAR LANCASTER. --Oa Friday morning last, between two and three o'clock, the emu mill at Foxholes, the property et W.

BIRTHS, AND DEATHS IN --- --- Yesterday the Registrar-General issued his return comprising the births and deaths registered by 2,190 regis trars in all the districts of England during the autumn quarter, ending December 31, 1852 ; sa d the marriages in more t han 12,000 churches or chapels, about 3,342 registered places of worship sneonnected with the established church, and 024 superintendent registrars offices, in the quarter that ended September 30, 18,62. The return of marriages is not complete ; but the defects are inconsiderab:e, and approx.mstive numbers have been supplied iron sue reesrd• or pres.ous years. The marriages sad the births, in nearly the same propor tion, greatly exceed the average number of the season ; and the average of the corresponding quarters of previous years .s sligbiy excenled by the de.iths. The ngistration of the year 18.52 is completed, for the births and deaths, by the present return. The births were 818,251 tu 1861, and 824,171 in 1862. The deaths 396,933 in 1841, and 407,938 in 1852. The average annual rate of birth is 3.282 per cent., or nearly lin 30. In 1b32 it rose to 3.172 per cent. or lin 29. The average annual rate of death is 2.212 per cent. (rather len than 1 in 4-)) ; in 1862 it was 2 2b9, or slightly strove the average (I in 41 nearly). MARRIAOLS. _ . _ 76,562 'anima were marred in the quarter ending Sep tember, 1352, giving a ct.groder.ible excess on the numbers (74,310) married in the corresponding quarter of the pre vious )eir. The number of marriages was 38,291, while in the summer quarters of 1840-3 the number of marriages never exceeded 29,397 and in 1842 fell so low as 27,288; in the summer of 1 044 ;here WAS • sudden increase, and in the summer or 1315 the marriages were 35,903 ; in 1847-8 the numbers fell back to 32,439, and rose slowly until the summer tf 1849; in each of the three succeeding summers (1850-2) the marriages have net been less than 37,165 in number. Nothing probably indicates more accurately than these figure* the cuudition of the people, or the view which they took of their prospects in life during the last eleven 111.2. mt rs. The r.te of marriage is still high in London, and the marriages were 7,105 in the last, 7,345 in the previoushSep teintier quarter,whertiu they amounted only to 5,747 in the corresponding quarter ef 1818. The marriages increased in all the south-eastern counties. lu the south midland divi sion the marl:ages were nearly stationary. In EAsex, Suffolk, and Normlk, the marriages also increased. In the south-western division the increase of marriages was greatis• in Devonshire and Somersetshirt ; was p-rticularly conspi coons in St. Thomas, Newton Abb tt, i'l)mouth, Taunton, Yeovil, and Bath. The marriages increased in each of the west and the north miellaudeonnties, particularly in Stroud, Cirencester, Ludlow, 'eel Clun (where a railway has re cently ewes carried), Shrewsbury, Dudley, Worcester, king's Norton, Birniingbatu, Coventry, Warwick, Caistor, Leicester, Nottingham, where manufactures an actively carried on. In Cheshire and Lancashire marriages are much more numerous than they wire in 1818, but Wes numerous than they were iu 1850; in Manchester and in Liverpool the marriages are declining. Yorkshire is nearly in the a .me couditioo as Lancas h ire ; the marriages in the West Biding have cot increased to any extent since 1850. In the northern division the marriages decreased ; they in creased ill Wide*. BIRTHS. 152,066 births were registered in the last quarter of the year, whereas the numbers in the quotes ending DtC3lll - 15-11, were 119,155. The births registered in Lou don, in the West Midiand counties, and iu Yorkshire in creased in the other divisions the numbers scarcely exc.:stied those in the previous year. txcamisa OP POPULATION. As the births in the quarter were 142,066, the deaths 99,916, the natural increase was 52,120. The number of etuntraets who sailed in the quarter from London was 12,322 ; Plymouth, 1,676; Liverpool, 41,317; from the three English ports, 63.315. The total numbers who sailed from the ports of the United Kingdom at which there are government emigration agents amounted ta 67,913. Many who sailed from other port are hot in the return, and it Is well known that a Large proportim of the emigrants who sail from Liverpool are be birth Irish. At present it is pro bable, taking all circumstances into account, that the emi gration from England is not ulna; to its natural increase. The number of emigrants who sailed during the year 1362 from the ports of the United Kingdom at which there are emigration agents amounted to 340,017, or certainly not less, taking the year through, and other ports into ac coma, than 1,900 a day. The price of provisions hu increased since last year; in the last three months of 1862, wheat was 40s. Sd.• quarter; beet, by the carcass, at Lewlenhall and Newgate market', id. a pound; mutton, 53d. a pound; potatoes (York re gents), 10Os. at the waterside market, Southwark. In the currespor ding three =oaths of 1861 the prices were, — wheat, 308.7 d. a quarter ; beef, 4d. per pound ; mutton, 41d. per pound ; potatoes, 70a. Potatoes are, therefore, through the disease with which they have been infested, dearer by 30 per cent., wholesale, in London, than they were at the same time last year. It should be recollected that the potato cannot be re ' placed in the dietary of the people by bread or meat. Fruit and vegetables are indispensable constituents of man's food, and without a due supply of them to the population scurvy and malignant diseases of various kinds break out. Tur nips, carrots, artichokes, green vegetables, oranges, and lean .121, should be procured, where there are means, in towns ;in the country, the old practice of drinking herb teas with cream of tartar would be salutary. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 2, 1553 IMAM UT TUE PUBLIC HEALTH. 99,946 deatiisvWriregletereciiuWrg the lot quarter of the year 18.52. In the corresponding quarter of 18.51 the deaths were 99,218. The animal rate of mortality in the last quarter is at the rate of 2.197 per cent., which is higher than the average rate, or than the mortality in the corres ponding quarters of 1842-15, in 1848, in 1850-61, but much lower than 2...45 and 2 389, the rates of mortality in 18-IG-17. . . _ Cha diviling the country into two large divisions, the first of 117 districts, comprising the chief towns, and a popula tion of 7,796,882, the setond of 606 districts, having a popu lation of 10,126,886, it is found that the mortality in the own districts was, during the quarter, at the rate of 2.514 per cent. per annum, which is below the average (2.679), while the mortality in the country districts was at the rate of 1.982 per cent. perann um, or somewhat above the average of the corresponding quarto,. (1.941). The unfavourable condition still prevailing in the towns is, however, too evident; to every four deaths out of • given number Krieg in the country, 6 deaths occurred out of au equal number living in the towns during the last quarter; and on an average, out of equal numbers living, four die in the towns during autumn to every three who die in the country. The causes by which this mortality is wrought affect the whole organization of children, and must ultimately produce • degeneration of large numbers of the English race. But there is apparently no reason why, by the use of the same or more efficient means, the health of all the town popidations should not be improved to the same extent as the health of the navy. The work would be greater; so would the benefit and the glory. It is evident, however, that though her Majesty's government may contribute to this happy change in the public health by proposing and carrying out good laws, they can only be successful in measures involving an infinite number of details by the energetic action of the authorities and of the people living in towns, where human lif• is now so much impaired and shortened. In London the mortality wee below the average. 13,681 deaths were registered in the December quarter, and this Mlle, are stated in 13,302 instances in the weekly table. 2,8.51 of the deaths were referred to symotic diseases, 74 to email-pox, 121 to mesas% $B3 to scarlatina (which has been unusually fatal), 343 tit diembma, 14 to theism 41 to in fluenza, 634 to typhus (US h• in the pee preceding).

Bronchitis was the wise of 1,006 deaths; , pneamonia of 1,036 deaths. Hernia ileum, intussuseeption, and stricture of the intestinal canal were fatal in 109 in stances, a number one-fourth above the average. 116 mothers died in childbirth, 46 by metria (or puerperal fever), and 69 by other disuses incidental to that state. The births in London during the quarter were about 20,482, consequently one mother died to every 178 children bora alive. The deaths from carbuncle and phlegraon (23), though not considerible, are move numerous than in the autumn quarter of 1851, and twice as numerous as in the previous autumns (1848-60). 20 deaths were referred di. featly to intemperance ; 27 to delirium 17411119•1; 64 to the want of breast-milk ; 2 to privation ; ewe to eold; 26 to poison ; 66 to burns sad scalds. 93 deaths were referred to hanging, strangling, and suithen ties ; and the numbers from these causes has rapidly in. *reseed of late from 22 in the autumn of 1848 to 41, 64, 66, and 93 in the autumns ascending. 108 deaths by drowning have also been registered in the quarter, or 50 more than the avenge of the corresponding quarters. . . The mortality in Surrey, Sasses, and Dampshire was below the average ; in Kent about, in Berkshire above, the average. The deaths in Reigate during the last three autumns were 44, 51, 68 ; in Croydon, 132, 132, 176. In Kingston, Dartford, and the Medway the mortality was much below he *very_ e ; so also was it in Margate, Rem ote, Brighton, and Hastings. In Dover the deellis were 193, the mortality high ; in Pollees Island, Southampton, and Winchester the deaths also exceeded the average num ber. The mortality to nearly all the districts of Berkshire on the banks of the Thames was above the average ; scarla tina prevailed. The registrar's note on Southampton is as follows : -- - Births 340; Deaths 311. Of the deaths there were regis tered in October 70, November 60, December 101. The encase therefore is in Deeember, which may be chiefly attributed to the state of the wea th er. which has been al. most constantly wet. Nearly half of the deaths registered , in that month have been from diseases of the respiratory ' organs. The deaths from fever of all kinds have been only 3 in October, 6 in November, and 8 in December, including one from " malignant fever," supposed to have been yellow fever, the deceased having been one of the engineers of the Ls Plata steam ship from the West Indies, which lost several on beard from that fever. --- - • The registrar of Broughton, Stockbridge, who is a snr• goon, says : " Since the Ist of August last upwards of 90 codes of fever have been attended by me in East Tytherly alone. Under ono roof in two rooms (and one of them a small one) 11 persons sleep. In one room the mother al one family lies delirious, and in the other the mother and daughter of the other both ill of fever. Nuisances sur round the (*Wile ; there is defective drainers on a clay soil. In Broughton fever has raged and is still existing in a very swampy locality." The mortality was below the average in several districts of the South Midland Counties; but Uxbridge, Peter lborough, Huntingdon, and a few other districts were ex ' *option, to the rule. Ware suffered from rheumatic and Intermittent fevers; Waddeedon (Aylesbury) and Mahan Ferrero from ty_phus ; Suffolk and Norfolk were healthier than usual; in Essex the mortality exceeded the average. Low typhoid fever prevailed in Rayleigh, Rochford ; the Registrar himself had attended 130 cases of low fever. Typhus prevails to a great extent in the solitary parish situated in a valley of Southminster, Maldon, in the low village of Horninghane, St. Faith ; and in Downham typhus prevailed in the vicinity of a foul pool of water in the parish of Lyng (Norfolk) ; the cause was removed at the Instance of the board of guardians, and the fever has abated. The dirty ponds which are found all about the country near farm and other houses are unquestionably noxious, as is proved by this and many other examples. The Registrar of Middle King's Lynn, where the births of 235 living children were registered, has ascertained that in the year 1852, 21 still-born children were interred by the sexton. In Ludham emigration, the Registrar says, appears to have dimitii.heil the births. The mortality was below the average in all the south western counties, exccpt Wiltshire. The health of North Bradley is in • satisfactory state, which the registrar as cribes to the larger command of the necessaries of life now possessed even by the poorest." The deaths in the , Amesbury sulmlistrict exceed the births, owing to the pre valence of typhus in Bulford ani in Amesbury. An airy, l healthy house has been engaged as a temporary fever hos pital by a gentleman in the neighbourhood. Fever prevails in Cerne. In Lyme the sewers have been thoroughly cleansed, and the Common Lodging House Act has been carried out ; the deaths hove fallen considerably. Scarla tina has been fatal in Newlyn, St. Coiumb ; dysentery in Falmouth, where the last of 21 deaths from the disease oc curred Nov. 15. Ilchcster is Eealthy ; a friendly society of 210 members, of the a ge age of 30-5, has lost only 2 members by death since June, 1849 ; but at Kinston Magna, Wincenton, fever of a very bad type has, within the last three months, made its appearance in the parish. The cottages are small, crowded, badly ventilated ; de cayed vegetables and refuse have been allowed to accu mulate. in the sixth division, the deaths in Herefordshire and Staffordshire are above, while the deaths in the other coun. tits are below the average. Small pox has been fatal ia Bristol ; and the registrar of St. Augu-tine notices a variety of the disease which has been fatal in Thatched-house-lane. Typhus and scarlatina prevail in Weobley, Ilenfordshire; measles and hooping cough in Chin ; and the registrar of Wem, Shropshire, records an instatee of fever apparently generated by putrescent matter adjacent to the house. Scarlatina has prevailed in Staffor..abire ; fever and pul monary complaints have prevailed in Birmingham. The mortality has been above the average in Stokc-upon-Trent, Wolstanton, and Newcastle-under• Lyme, also in Wulver , hampton and the districts around. In the north-midland division, the mortality in the coun ties of Leicester, Nottingham, and Derby is above, in Lin coln below the average. The health of Leicester, Oraut ham,Buford, and Derby has nut been good. Scarlatina has erea fatal in Loughborough, Spalding, Worksop, and Nottingham, where typhus has also prevailed. In Cheshire and Lancashire the mortality is above the average ; 17.25.5 people died. Scarlatina has prevailed in many districts, and typhus has in some places been epidemic. The deaths in Liverpool are fewer, in Manchester mere, than is usual. Yorkshire experienced the average rate of mortality ; 10,657 persons died in the quarter. In Leeds and Sheffield the mortality is b e low the average. Scarlatiaa, typhus, and small-pox wire epidemic in many parts of the county ; 24 deaths from small-pox, 18 from scarlatina, happened in Scarborough. The healthiness of Barnsley is referred to the active employment of the labouring population. The Northern Counties have been less healthy than usual ; 5,679 deaths have been registered; scarlatina has extensively prevailed. Newcastle-upon-Tyne and the districts around, Durham, Carlisle, Cockermouth, and Whitehaven, have lost more than the average number of lives; chiefly, it would appear, from scarlatina. In Wales, 6,005 penons died. Small-pox, through the neglect of vaccination, has been prevalent and fatal. Parts ' of Wrexham are in a filthy state, and there epidemics pre vail.

In default of literary gossip this week, wo will say a word on Faraday's lecture, "On the Magnetic Forces," at the Royal Institution—a lecture which com manded the attention of the most crowded audience we re member within those walls. Faraday is still pursuing his researches, and has not yet arrived at any conclusion suffi ciently definite to bring forward ; but be gave one of his admirable expositions of the nature and objects of his search in determining magnetic force, and called attention to a most remarkable and far-re►ching discovery recently made—a discovery which, while it opens new tracks In the shadowy thoroughfares of thought," well.nllustratos the value of all direct and accurate observa tion, even when the observation 'seems to have little prac tical application. It is this. A German astronomer has for many years been watching the spots on the sun, and daily recording the result. From year to year the groups of spots vary. They aro sometimes very numerous, some times they are few. After a while it became evident that the variation in number followed a descending scale through five years, and then an ascending scale through five subse quent years, so that the periodicity of the variations be came a visible fact. Now , of what use, asks the practical Jones, is this fact? We know that every ten years there has been a cycle of variations ; what then ? What are these said spats, what do the groups mean, how do they affect us ? Jones sees nothing but astral twaddling in this patient ob servation. And in truth, so long as the fact remains au isolated fact, it is silent to us; but connect it with some other fact, and it may discourse significantly. Can this be done? There seems good hope it may. While our German friend was busy with his groups of I sun-spots, an Englishman was busy with the variations of the magnetic needle. He, too, was a patient recorder of patient observation. On comparing his tabular results with these of the German astronomer, he found that the variations of the magnetic needle corresponded with the variations of the sun-spota,—that the years when the groups wure at their maximum, the variations of the needle I were at their maximum, and so on through the series. This relation may be coincident ince y, or derivative; if the latter, then do we connect astral and terrestrial mane- tisse, and new reaches of science are open to us ! How beautifully this illustrates the slow and certain con quests of science, compared with the rapid and illusory usurpations of metaphysics ! The facile method of a me taphysician would have been employed in vain upon these sun spots. The "depths of moral consciousness" might have been ransacked, and die I dee sat coesstruiren—the construction of the true Idea would have been hopeless. Nature answers if we °interrogate ;" but only if we inter rogate her, not if we interrogate ourselves. She will have nothing to say to the Ides all **Ass RIMIENTATION or THE LONDON UM/MITT.— Oa Monday a meeting of the students and graduates in the above mole ashy was held in the Botanical Theatre of the tosandes,letalte preliminary steps for obtaining a member to repaint Ike university in parliament. Mr. Lister having taus the Asir, said the object for which they had met was to gal*. the House of Cameo to allow them a esgessomtedm I. parliament. He did net see why the Uni versity dined= should not be repainted u well as the Hakessehlos et Oohed and Cambridge-1n fact, at the period Ohs tomdation Lord Melbourne premised that it should be pissed en the same tooting a those of Oxford and OenakMge. Mr. Gangey psegamil the first resolution, to the set that the meeting viewed with satisfaction the shim beim taken by the meamittee to obtain &re presentative of the Uniamity is parliament. He con. boded that the University had a right to be represented. Mr. Freakish seconded the reielution, and observed that Bir J. Graham had ezpreseed ea minion in favour of the object, and Mr. Gladstone bad done the same, at least by inuendo, and he urged those passe to us a ll their energy to obtain what was their undoubted right—a member to represent them in parliament. The resolution was put and carried mos. con. The adoption of a petition to parlia ment, showing that there were about 800 graduates in the University of the average age of 30—rather more than one third et whom were of the legal profession, and not quite a third of the medical—and that, consequently, important interests were connected with the University, was proposed by Mr. Haynes, seconded by Mr. Baines, and carried una- Duraccrus FIRE AT WALWOUTlL—Yesterday morning, shortly after two o'clock, the inhabitants of the sewlcreated town around the Lorimer-road, ani adjoin ing t he Surrey Zoological Gardens at Walworth, were aroused by a sudden err of " Fire!" It was soon ascer tained that the fire was confined tg an unfinished house in Howard's-terrace, belonging to Mr. Thwaites, of Walworth, near the Walworth Literary and Scientific Institution, which was entirely consumed. Soon after the outbreak, messengers were sent in every direction to the various fire engine stations, and most of them speedily arrived, although having just returned from a fire of a coal-brig in the Lime holies Canal, the men were nesesearily exhausted. One of the first, with the two brigade engines from the Waterloo and Southwark stations, we. th.it of the West of England ; but owing to the foggy . state of the weather, and the shame ful state of the roads is this vicinity—they could not bring their engines promptly to the scene of action. The dark ness of the night, from the intense fog, although the fire was rating, compelled them in conducting the horses to carry lighted links. Their efforts were unavailing to save 1 the house, which I. insure.' in the Sun-of lee for 6001. ACCIDENT ON TUE SOCTII EASTERN RAILWAY. — An accident occurred on the South Eastern Railway yes terday. The 12 30 p.m. train for Ramsgate left London at its proper time, but when within two miles of the Pens burst station the whole of the train, except the engine, ran j off the rails. Twelve passengers received cuts and bruises, but fortunately none of a serious nature. By means of the electric telegraph, assistance was quickly procured, and the passengers, with the exception of one, who was conveyed to Tunbridge, were transferred to other carriages, and the train proceeded to Ramsgate. A careful examination of the rails has been made, but no defect could be discovered ; the cause of the carriages getting off the line therefore yet remains to be ascertained. IRELAND. Denraw, Fan. I. Groat preparations have been made to give effect to the demonstration which comes off to-day at:Kells, in the oounty of Meath. It has been termed, in the usual style of exaggeration which prevails hero " the gathering of Leinster," and is intended for one of those popular " pronouncements," continued usually in this country on the eve of a parliamentary session, to give eclat to the entree of the Irish members in the House of Commons.. This meeting oAtensibly assembles at the invitation of the " Religious' ' Equality" Committee, and the leading topic will be abuse of those Irish members who have taken office, or given their adhesion to tho present administra tion. It is stated that a field has been taken in the neighbourhood of Ennis for a military encampment to be held there during the Simile-bridge triais. Owing to the tranquil state of the county of Ros common,the authorities have signified their intention to remove 40 of the constubulary force. It is understood that a large building, the mansion of Mr. Whalley, on the south side of St. Stepherfa green, in this city, has been taken for the proposed Roman catholic university, the committee of which are at length about to commence actual operations. The Evening Mail gives the subjoined account of two fresh Ribbon outrages, of which the neighbour hood of Monte, in the count] of Westmeath,has been the scene : On the night of Wednesday, the 26th instant, a poor man of the 11411111 of Marsh, a labourer in the employment of Mr. M'Donald, a Scotch Homan catholic gentleman, who lately purchased the demesne of Castle Daly in tile Incumbered Estates Court, was fired at in his own Amuse, but fortunately escaped with a slight wound in the thigh, a quantity of slugs being lodged in the waft beside him. No reason can be assigned for this attempt at assassination, except that Marsh was a man in the confidence of Mr. M'Donald, who has been continually annoyed by threatening not:ces since he came to reside at Castle Daly. The other outrage was one of those savage murders which have brought such in delible disgrace on our country. The victim in this case was also a poor labourer, in whom a more than ordinary degree of trust was reposed by his employer, Mr. Sills, an Englishman, who cecupics the farm of Joneslake, close to the town of Moate. This poor man, whose name was Thomas Kerry, had been for several years a convert from protestantism to popery, which, however, was not any safe guard against ribbon vengeance. On Thursday evening about seven o'clock, on the high road to Moate, within bearing of the railway station, and little more then a hun dred yards from his master's gate, Kerry was brutally at tacked by four men with bludgeons, who, haring fractured his skull, and otherwise injured Lim, left Lim apparently dead. After some time the poor man was able to crawl to Mr. Sills' house, where he was tended with the greatest humanity, and received immediate medical assist ance. He was barely able to detail the few particulars we have mentioned, and to say that he knew the men that as saulted him. Before he could declare their names ho be came insensible, and never spoke again. He expired at five o'clock on Friday morning, ten hours after he had been beaten. The circumstances which caused Kerry's murder are wrapped in mystery. He was wholly unconnected with land himself, and was a quiet inoffensive man. He had not taken a farm from which another tenant had been ejected, but pays a profit rent for his farm to the tenant who last oc cupied it. He was a highly respectable Englishman,who has lately introduced the manufacture of cheese into the neigh bourhood with great success. Thomas Boylan, Esq., of Hilltown House, has, at the recommendation of the Lord Lieutenant of the County, been appointed a magistrate for the County Meath. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH (DUBLIN.) MONDAY. Tux QUEEN o. Z. WALLAC!, PRoPRIETOEt OF TEE ANOLo-CELT." Judge Crampton stated that in this case of the " Queen v. \Valises" there had been a verdict for the crown on an indictment for libel preferred against the defendant ; and Mr. Fitzgibbon moved upon a former day for a new trial, upon four distinct grounds, which he suggested to the court. The first was, that evidence was rejected which should have been received ; the second, that evidence had been received which ought to have been rejected; the third, that the jury had separated on the first day of the trial, when the case for the crown closed, without any permission being given by the judge • the fourth ground was that of the alleged misdirection Of the Chief Justice, in answer to a question by the jury, whether they were to find malice as a matter of fact. Having considered all these grounds, the court were of opinion that the court ought not to grant a conditional order for a new trial. The two first grounds were scarcely pressed by counsel; and as to the third, namely, the separation of the jury, the facts appeared to be these :—The trial neces sarily lasted two days, and the court adjourned at the close of the first day, when the prosecutor's case had closed. The adjournment took place without any observa tion having been made by the counsel or attorneys con cerned; the jury left the box as others were retiring, and went to their respective homes; but the next morning Mr. Fitzgibbon objected to the trial being further proceeded with, on the ground of this separation of the jury having occurred without the express assent of those acting for the defendant. Kinnear's cue, reported in 2 Barn. and Al., 464, was expressly in point—for there there was an indictment for misdemeanour, and the trial not having terminated in the one day the jury, without the knowledge or the concurrence et 'the traverser, separated, and an objection having been taken to proceeding with the trial, the judges held that the proceedings were regular. Judge Crampton here adverted to the respective opinions pronounced by Lord Tenterden, Judges Bayley, Hoiroyd, and Beet. With regard to the last objection, for alleged misdirection of the learned judge, it was curious enough that the charge of the Chief Justice was not objected to at all, and the ground of the misdirection arose out of an answer given to the jury after they had returned to their box. The I word " maliciously " being in this as in every other in dictment, the question was, whether they were not (bound to be satisfied that the defendant was actuated by malice towards the prosecutor. The Chief Justice answered by telling the jury that undoubtedly they must find the publi cation was malicious, but that prima facie when a person published what constituted a libel, the law under such circumstances presumed that he published it maliciously. That answer being given to the jury, Mr. Fits gibbon objected to the definition. Malice was a question for the jury, but if the act complained of be libellous the jury ars bound, under the dilution of the judge, to presume malice. There was no ground for imputing misdirection, and it appeared to him (Judge Crompton) that the direction was perfectly right. The presumption of law is that the man intends what his voluntary act imports ; and the law is the same in criminal and civil proceedings. It was a mistake to assume that malice was personal ill-will; it wasspresumed to exist where then was the wilful doing of an injurious act. Ha lordship having cited the definition of Lord Mansfield in the " King o. Woodfall," namely, that a man who commits an injurious act must be taken to have intended the thing he has done, and that therefore when be has acted injuri ously, he has also acted maliciously, proceeded to cite ex tracts from the judgments pronounced in the case of the " King et. Daniel Whittle Harvey," reported in 2nd Barn. and Cress., 267. Where • man published that which was injurious to another, he must be presumed to mean what he did, unless he could show facts which would refute this presumption. He (Judge Crampton) could conceive nothing mon mischievous to go abroad than the notion that the jury were to find that a person was actuated by personal malice before they could find the author of a libel guilty. He had goo. farther into a consideration of the principles of the law than might be thought necessary; but having charged the grand jury who found the bill of indictment, he bad laid down the law as delivered by the most eminent bides. His lordship hens cited a passage from Holt on Libel, to show that the malice contemplated was such as proved that the act was voluntary, and there was also an instructive commentary to be found upon the subj ect in question in the excellent book of Mr. Taylor on Evidence. Judge Perrin concurred in the rule that the motion for a new trial ought to be refund. He thought the evidence given ow cross-examination by the witness Meany, with • view of showing that the report of the inquest at Sizmile bridge, as reported in the defendant's paper, was not iden tical with that in the Freeman's Journal, was properly ad mitted ; and with regard to the separation of the jury, no objectifies was taken to them separating at the time they left, but when attention was called to the fact there was no possibility of calling them back. With respect to the charges of the learned judge, he (Judge Perrin) held that malice was an essential ingredient in the offence of libel, and especially ' since the recent statute ; but malice was to be inferred from the tendency of the publication itself. The presump tion might be rebutted by circumstances ; but it was a rule of common sense, that until the contrary was proved • man must be assumed to intend that which his act was necessa rily calculated to effect, and there were nomeans by which the hidden and secret thoughts of men could be ascertained by 'jury. The Chief Justice (who was almost inaudible front severe cold) was understood to express hie satisfaction at the occasion which was thus presented of vindicating the prin ciple of the law, and he hoped that the judgment now pro nounced would put an end for ever to the specious defence resorted to in the present case. If the test was to be the secret motives of the man who penned • libel, by what subtle inquiry were those motives to be ascertained ? During a long professional life he thought the law was, as he had laid it down at the trial, and he hoped the law would long continue to be as it was at present. As Judge Perrin had already remarked, how was it possible to determine what were the secret intentions of a man if they are not te be ascertained by his acts, and the necessary consequences which resulted from them? The Attorney General called upon the court to pronoun's sentence upon the defendant. Mr. Fitruibbon said that no notice had been served upon his client to attend and receive judgment, although he was in attendance. _ The Attorney-Ciensral observed that this arose from the application fora rule nisi for a new trial not haying been determined. Jude Campton thought the *court ought not to be called on to pronounce judgment at this stage of the proceedings. He knew nothing of the ca.e except what the general merits disclostd during the diseunion of the motion—he bad only a vague recollection of the libel, and the court could not thusfure determine at once what ought to be 0:to proper Measure of punishment. The Attorney-General did not object to a postpone,Pc!ll , which, under the circumstances, he considered reasonab.." and the 18th of April was fixed for the traverser to attend to receive sentence. MUSIC. THE PURCELL CLUB. This socie t y, established to do honour to the most t,f English mu . icuns. tt t its anniversary meet ing yesterday evening, at the Atbion, in Aldersgate-street. The chair was filled by Professor Taylor, of Gresham Cll. lege, the founder and president of the dub ; there was • full attendance of the members ; and there were among the visitors several of our most distinguished musicians and dilettanti. The musical entertainments of the evening consisted, as usual, of a selection of sacred and secular music composed by " the mighty master." Three of his finest anthems were performed—" 0 praise 0,x1," " 0 thal,thou hail east us out," and " Thy word is a lantern"—in a manner which showed his transcendent genius as a sacred composer. It was in teresting to ob►erve the manner in which these pieces were performed. Mr. Turle, the worthy successor of Purcell as organist of Westminver Abbey, accompanied on the pianoforte ; his eminent brother urgauist, Mr. Puss of St. Paul's, gave the time ; the solo parts were sung by Messrs. Benson, Barnby, Stevens, and Lawler; and the choruses were sustained by the greatest part of Ow company, assisted by young gentlemen from the choirs of Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's, an 1 the Temple. The anthems had been carefully rehearsed, and the effect of their performance was wonderful. Every one that heard them must have felt that Purcell had caticip.ited all that has since been done in the grandeur and beauty of pure vocal harmony. Nay, we are not sure that Purcell !ma not transcended all his successors in this branch of his art. We du not think that any composer, from Handel to Beethoven, has produced anything more rich in harmony, more power ful in expression, or more sublime in effect, then the con eluding chorus of the anthem, " 0 God, thou hest cast us out." The secular portion of the entertainment consisted of the " Ode for St. Cecilia's Day." Dryden's Ode to St. Ceci lia's Day is famili.ir to every schoolboy ; and vet there are not many people who know anything about the patron saint of music, or of the otservances paid to her in Eng land in " the olden time." We extract, therefore, from the books of the Purcell Club the account of the festival in honour of St. Cecilia, given in a periodical of the year 1692: "The 22ad of November, being St. Cecilia's Day, is ob served through all Europe by the lovers of music. On that day, or the next when it tails on a Sunday, most of the lovers of music, whereof mane are persons of the first rank, meet at Stitioners' Hall in Dintion, nut through a principle of superstition, but to propagate the advancement of that divine science. A splendid entertainmeut is provided, and before it is always a performance of music by the best voices and hands in town: the words, which arc always in the patroness's praise, are set by some of the greatest masters in town. Six stewards are chosen for each succes sive year, four of which are either persons of quality or gentlemen of note, and the two last either gentlemen of their Majesties music, or some of the chief masters in town. Those chosen for the next year are Sir Thomas Travel, Bart., Josias Ent, Esq., Sir Charles Carteret, Bart., John Jetfrys, E•q., Henry Hazard, Esq., and Mr. Barkhurst. This feast is one of the genteelest in the world; there are no formalities nor gatherings like at other., and the appear ance there is always very splendid. While the company is at table the hautbois and trumpets play successively.' The annual celebrations of the Feast of St. Cecilia txk place in Stationers' Hall from the year lbS3 to 1703. There was always an ode, written by the most popular poet, and composed by the most popular musician of the day. Among the poets we find the names of Dryden, Shadwell, D'tirtey, and Congreve; and, among the composers, Pur cell, Draghi, Clarke, Blow, and Eccles—all men of emin ence. Pope afterwards wrote an ode for St. Cecilia's Day ; but Pope had neither taste nor ear for music, and wrote merely because Dryden bad written before him ; and we are not aware that anybody ever set his poem to music. The Ode of 1692, written by Bratty, the welt-known versifier of the Psalms, with Purcell's music, performed last night, is, in so far as the music is concerned, a most magnificent work. Its melodies are still (and, we believe, will always be) fresh and beautiful ; and, in the choral pas sages, there is a masterly construction with a greatness of effect, which, down to the present day, has never been sur passed. So much for the musical portion of this interest ing meeting. Ina social point of view it was not less pleas , ing. The eminent Professor of Gresham College filled the chair with an animation which excited a sympathetic feel , ing in every one present ; and, in giving the memory of Purcell, made some tasteful and judicious observations on the character of the father of Engli.h music. It appears that the Purcell Club is in a most prosperous condition. It has established itself on a solid basis, and has become one of the most valuable and important of our musical bodies. WELLINGTON MEMORIAL Mr. Talbot presents hie compliments to the Editor of the Express, and will feel much obliged if he can give insertion in that journal to the accompanying copy of a letter to his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, on the subject of the Wellington Memorial." 10, Downing-street, Feb. 1. 10, Downing-street, lan. 31, 18.53. My Lord Archbishop,—l have the honour to inform your grace, that having forwarded to the bishops copies of the circulars which I received your grace's sanction to send to the clergy of this country, previous to my putting them in circulation, I have received from many of their lordships answers to my letters. These answers are nearly all fa vourable to the project, but express an unwillingness to interfere with the discretion of individual clergymen as to the course they may think it right to pursue in this matter. I feel it to be my duty, in order to di'pel any impression which may exist, either in their lordships' minds or those of the clergy and the public, to address this letter to your grace, and to assure you that there never was any intention on the part of the promoters of this institution to fetter in any way tho free action of any clergyman. It was thought that there were many people who might he anxious to sub scribe small sums to the proposed College who would not send their names to be entered individually in the public lists, but who would gladly avail themselves of any oppor tunity which might be afforded them of marking th e i r sense of what the country owed to the great hero wo have loft ; and it was evident that if the clergy would assist in funher leg the interests of this national institution, the readiest means would at once be afforded to this (perhaps very nu merous) class of persons. I consequently transmitted, as the meet respectful course I could adopt, copies of the circular which had obtained your Grace's selection to the respective bishops, and begged I them to lend their influence in furtherance of the proposed institution, not intending thereby in any way to induce them to fetter the discretion of the clergy, but simply to invite them to look favourably upon the subject, in the event of any of the clergy of their respective &ocean soli citing their lordships' advice as to the course they ought to pursue. Trusting that this explanation will satisfy your Grace that it was the wish and the intention of the promoters of this great national monument to leave the clergy at liberty to act entirely according to their own discretion. I have the honour to remain, Your Grace's most obedient servant, W. I'. TALBOT, Hon. Secretary. His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury. A WORD TO THE UNWARY. TO TEI =ITO". OP TIE lIXPI/1411.

HANDBOOK Gunms.—This class of guides stand rutty in need of guidance themselves. Like those of Northumberland House and Sion House, that of Arley House seems to claim for its author that more important personage than intelligent cicerone, the " housekeeper." s It may be allowed to answer very well to the name of " handbook" in one sense, inasmuch as it is merely manu facture—the production of some scribe whose forte evi dently dots not lie in describing. There is nothing that amounts to intelligible description of i idler exterior or in terior; the principal front is said to consist " of •centrc and two wings, having a striking Corinthian portico." We are assured, also, that the west or park front has in like manner " two wings," and that the none " slightly recedes, and hail four windows with a balcony." But the most surpris ing piece of information is, that the exterior, whieh I had 'all along considered merely passable architectural humdrum —respeets , bly decent and dull—is actually " simple in its grandeur." Not having seen the interior of the mansion, I can only say that in attempting to follow the " Guide" through it, I have felt myself suite in a mist, and almost blindfolded likewise. Not to pursue these remarks any further, I will only add that the architect appears to have omitted in his plan one of the most important rooms of all in any house—namely, a dining room—no mention being made of any such apartmont.—Correspondmi of the Buil ••!, X,A. :1.: • ,^
