THE CHANCELLORSHIP OF OXFORD. TO TNT 'MOW Or TVS DAILY MAWS. Ste,—The Yice-Charicellor of Oxford has fixed the 12th of October for the election of a new Chancellor. Little can be said in excuse of the indecency of such so p o t. The late Chancellor but lately dea l and n o t yet buried, is utterly forgotten. No expression of regret, no fond expressioos of regard, hardly a d o . cent allusion to the loss the university in common with the whole country h.ve sustained, bass emanated from that body of men over whom he was as much commander-in -chief as ho was over the army. Alan! o ,6 e d o Pons" sustain their well-known character. H a rdly had the breath left the body of the great man before an obsequious and servile crew of sy cophants, fearful of their sinecures, trembling at t he idea of common room disclosures, impotent for good (I will not say ready for evil, but certainly no willing reformers of it) threw themselves at the fret of the tory l'remier, as a last effort to avert the coming day. What can be thought ()flinch a b o dy' What can be thought of their object in thus prostrating themselves, in the very spirit of atieet dunkeyism ? Was it with a view to self agrandisenient ? or was it with a sincere desire to preserve their university intact from the horrible re torivis who were looming in the distance!" This, however. is not for me to say ; but 1 do ask, and I think the public have a right to know what Lord Polo's claims are? Why, is the days of church and University reform, a converted wing, a turn-coat reclite, and now a—Disraelite-tory, should thus be set ortr one of the greatest universi.ies in the world ? The mends rs of the university likewise have a right to know why the Vice-thancellor has fixed the che.ion tour days before the great bulk of the uni..n.ity return. when none hut a few dons and interested 'members of the university will be on the spot to 'tote. it is easy to say that the notice is moth lent. and all who wish can come if they choose, but I know very well from my own experience that there is no time so difficult at which to bring men together as the two or three days before the end of th e keg vacation, when they are obliged to assemble. They feel it is too late to come up and go back again, too soon to come up and remain. It is worthy, how ever. of the spirit by which the whole proceeding in reference to this miter lies been actuated. A dread of liberaibm. the horror of hearing the merits of the Duke of Neacastle. Carlisle, Ellesmere, and other men discusisd, before the final vote was given, has driven them on to this Louis Napoleonite and cowardly ••••up ,r•bil as a chillier resort. I have so far troutiod you in hopes that a trick on the part of the University of Oxford may not escape detection, and remain. Yours, &e., Temple, Monday. Oct. 4. M.A., OXON.

So far as we can ascertain the Ahem of the geed et 1849, they seem to have bees these: the peel at SWIM of the Red Braes received a egasidershle dem& of semi sad stones, which has made it et eon shallower and ISO MlNlalk to angle's. The stream lowing past Nicol's Wedhs Notary wee to some extent injured, being very iamb dullewed by the deposit of • large quantity of tho stehedenenled down by the flood ; but is still a fine angling dream when the river is a little higher than usual. hies intyra's pool, ever one of the best iu the river, is, ia con sequence of the bank above the islands being somewhat raised, a little more ale2gish than it used to be; at the Little Isle, the Lesser Rosh was advantageously blocked up altogether, and the present stream added to in volume and force. The pool over which the old bridge stool was never a favourite except for trout. No one fishes in it now. Could these changes have affected the whole character of the river as an angling stream for several consecutive years ? This seems highly improbable. It is certain, however, that sash of the decrease of salmon in the Ness for the last two pees nut be owing to the great number of spawning. beds wide were either buried by the deposit of stones and gray.l, egintirely swept away where the pools were deepened by he feed in 1849. It will also be remembered, that shortly lOW w Ind the river became fur some time exceedingly low, is sousesseme of the surface-water of the lake having ens oat by the Weak of the anal beak ; thus many of the ✓emaining spawning -beds must have been left totally ma nnered by water, involving, as a matter of course, the de mises** of the spawn. The general eatery amongst anglers le what the stakonets anti bagmen which jut oat from Seery ponestory on the ems% of the Moray Firth. Yet they an not of yesterday, and Mr. Lowe's exploits on Loch Ness this summer show that a large number of fish passed through the Ness towards the Garry, the Oieh, the Foyers, and ether riven, while rod and net were equally unproductive upon our own river. Many of these were eopon.coloured and the majority had passed up early in the seam.. We leave it to others to draw conclusions from these facts; fur, be the cause what it may, rods and nets testify alike that manna are rapidly becoming extinct in the Ness and its tributaries. Were it possible to secure for them a year's " Shine," there can be little doubt that those interested maid rasp as abundant reward for their season of self denial. At present we may content ourselves with making a few quotations from the journal of a famous angler who has fished the Ness assiduous) y for nearly thirty yews. The journal was commenced in 1834, and Is continued down to the present day. Let it, however, be premised, that the gentleman who has been so kind as to let us leek over his note-book does not visit Inverses, for angliog only; his sport Ii obtained almost wholly in the mornings and evenings, and upon Saturday afternoons, during the leisure hours of an arduous vocation. In 1834 he was not much upon the neer, but sueosedcd in bagging 21 salmon and grilse, besides a great many fine trout. In the year fol lowing operations were commenced on July 27, and in flue days of the first week he landed 1.5 fish. In one day in August he caught 9 grilse, besides several fine salmon trout. The last entry that year is dated September let, when the 41st fish killed by b's rod that season is chronicled. This was the last day he could get out to fish. In 1836, we find our friend bagging in one day seven grilse ; "also killed several firm salmon trout ; a dull day with a alight breese from the north-west: river very high, but fish rising beautifully; lost several others after play iag them for some time." On another day that year he catches three fish before breakfast and three hi 0- • evening. The 31 • vat cold season, tiul on the W ile tad faireport." Tam; 183 i to the end of 1840. Captain Gill rented the illitings the Nees, so that our friend lied no angling, except. Lady fialtoun's part of the river on Saturdays. Yet such was the &banding's of fish in these days, that few as were his holi days upon the river, our friend bagged in the four seasons about 60 fish. The year 1841 opens with the following entry in the journal : "in 1811 Mr. Tait took a lease of the river, and let it out for the angling in the lower pooh; so I purchased permission, and had full liberty to angle in my favourite streams." The result seas the capture of 40 fish, beside, large numbers of fine 5. trout. Almost every entry chronicles the rapture of two, three, and often half-a-dozen fish in one day ; bet the Allowing memorandum dings them all : "On Friday, t4B.;her 10th, at the Little Island strea m , th e 49 t h ioth fishes—weight 14 lb. and 28 lb.

IN CHESHIRE. This county, u well se the stljoiniog county of Lancaster, has of late been visited by a peg of burglars, who, up to the end of last week, were successful in osm. witting several daring robberies without being detected. Late no Tuesday night, the 21st ult., the house of Mr. Miles Hobson, of Northwich, was entered and robbed, sad on Wednesday night, the 21st ult., the house of Mr. Charles Belshaw, of Altrincham, was entered and robbed. On Saturday morning, John Molloy, as Irishman, was taken before Mr. Joyuson, having been remanded from the pre vious day on a charge of breaking and entering the heuse tai ;:is• an gelding a quantity of books and other articles. John Bowsien, a the to7O' hi° of Orange, farmer, stated that about three o'clock on Thursday lag he was passing through Altrincham and os reaching High-street, Mr. Naylor told him that he believed thieves were in Mr. Balshsw's shop, opposite, and he desired witness to lack at the end of his boom, which he did, and foiled • parcel containing • quantity of books, de. He thee amused Mr. Balshaw avid Mr. Tartest (who lives neat door to Balaksw's) while he kept watch at the cellar door, which he found open. In a few 'minutes Mr. Tinton ap peered, and went Into &labile's, and brought the prisoner I out of the house. Isaac Torten described his entrance into Mr. Balahaw's collar, where he found the prisoner was comealed in oae corner of the cellar behind some coals. I There were several parcels of books and some stationery packed up, and placed ready for easy removal from the cellar by the window. On the prisoner be found some silver ma-spoons, • bunch of keys, and some other articles. Charles Balsha e, the prosecutor, corroborated this testi mony. The primmer wm committed to rho neat maims. The thieves—to more than one had been there—regaled thensselvce with some of Mr. Balshaw's port wine and they had either eaten or carried off some roast heir and plum pies. Police constable Simpson proceeded on Friday to Leeds, where he apprehended Barnard 21.11agli and Mary M'Hugh on a charge of being concerned in this rob bery.

DERTRUCTIeIt WHIRLWIND.—On Sunday laid, between three and four o'clock in the afternoos, he town of Lyme Regis, in Donetsbire, was visited by a terri fi c whirlwind, by w hi c h a s t ac k o f h ay i n the Home Bush fields, weighing upwards of five tons, was earned up into the air and scattered about the country in every direction. A field of has also, ate short distance of, was torn up by the roots and mattered about the neighbourhood. The da mage done to the farm and land upon which the storm fell with its greatest fury is very considerable. In addition to thiaan immense body of water from the sea, lust of the end of the Cobb Walk, wee drawn up into the air on high, like a waterspout, to the great astonishment and alarm of the good people of Lyme. Happily the waterspout did not dis charge the main body of its contents upon the town itself or the adjoining land., a. in that case the damage done must have been incalculable. During the whole of the day the sky had assumed a very strange and lurid appears-ce, as if a violent thunderstorm had been coming on, but no rain actually fell until after the whirlwind, when it conti nued fbr about half an hour to pour in heavy torrents (to use the words of an eyewitness) as if heaven and earth were Booting together. The storm, however, was very partial in its visitation, and did not extend far either way along the line of coast. The rind, however, has been partly washed awff neer the immediate merle of dingier.

Ths bodies 6:Cookson and Gillett were mounted w Satur- day, baying hem washed up on the "Middle Bank," a short diatoms from the spot when the accident occurred ; Davia's body was found on Sunday nioraing in Creston Pool. the remains of the *Vier sufferers—viz. William Swans, Jots Gillett, Join Whiteside, Thomas ilardman, sad Jams Winder—had not been recovered when this at coast was despatched. The only witnesses examined by the (*router were Richard Gillett and James Parkinson, the two survivals of the boat's crew, who deposed to the fasts of the accident as they have been already gives. The following passages in the evidence throw some light on the immediate muss of thy occurrence _ . . Coroner—l 'appose Swann (the captain of the life-boat) was an experienced sailor? Witness (Oillstt)—Yes, but I think he was a little to blame. When the wind became so rough, some of the men were mations for the sad to be token down, but Swann would sot allow it. Ifs said he wished to try the boat fully. The wen thought that at all events another reef should be taken in. A Juryman—Wes the boat full of rester then the crew masted to bays another reef taken to 1 . . Witness—Nu. Her lee gunwale wu about a foot under water, and had been for some time. By the Coroner—Whilst wu were out, I perceived the door of lone of the air bones open, and I don't know that it was afterwards closed. Hit had been closed, I think the boat would have righted. The general opinion of the jury seemed to be that the boat was prevented from righting by the wet 'sit. Mr. Houghton (a juryman)—Were you not cautioned, before going out, to take your life.le Its ? Witness—Yes ; the Rev. Mr. Self said we had better take them; but as it did not then blow very hard, we Lb/night we could do without them. The jury, after a brief address from the Coroner, retired to consider their verdict. Oa their return, The Foreman said they wished to return a verdict of " Accidentally drowned, resulting from mismanagement." The Coroner intimated that he could not take that ver dict. Though there seemed to hero been a little error of judgment on the part of Swann, still, bail ha survived, he (the Coroner) thought that he could not be charged with manslaughter; but, ss he had gone to his account. the jury meet dismiss that point from their condderation. The j . ury then agreed to • verdict of " Accidentally drowned" . . On the same evening a meeting of gentlemen was held at the Clifton Arno Hotel, for the purpose of organising a csemnittee to obtain subscriptions for the relief of the, widows and orphans of the sufferers.

Kirk, M.P. ; Mr. Arthur Close, Mr. Oraystone, J.P. ; Mr. J. H. Q uinn, J.P.; Mr. Finlay, &c. Mr. Wyndham Goold, M.P., has, in a letter to the Ernainy Mull, combatted the case put forward by the Earl of Mayo in favour of Blacksod Bay as a western packet station. He says: Al every one interested in the subject knows, • govern ment commission, with Lord Granville at its head, sat last year in London, and went into the general questini of the eligibility of the western harbours for the purposes of a Transatlantic packet station. Having gone into a great deal of evidence, and examined • vast number of witnesses, they reported that the Shannon and Galway Bay were the two meet eligible posts on the western coast of Ireland ; but by a very violent non sequitur they unanimously came to the conclusion that the American steamers should start from Liverpool, and call at Holyhead as a western port. As, however, they had left the question of the comparative me rits of Galway and the Shannon undecided, it was sug gested to Lord Derby to send a commission of nautical men to see these two ports with their own eyes, and to decide the point of relative capability to which the entitle* had been narrowed by the former commission. The report of these tommissionm has just been published, and it ap pears that they have derided for the Shannon in preference to Galway, and, what is most important, that one of the three commissioners is in favour of a western packet station. Now, how stands the question ? This time last year there was an unanimous report against any western station ; at this moment we have one out of three C011102411i0001 . 9 advo cating a western port, and these three 41111111111303 in favour of the Shannon. Now, under these circumstances, I would put it to Lord Mayo, whether it would be wise or prudent to mar the steady advance of this important question, by starting a new port at this stage of the discus sion. But, in point of fact, what are the merits of Blacksod Bay? Lord Mayo riys that ho was greatly struck by its extent and safety—that it has " plenty of tacking ream" and " anchoring ground to the extent of SO square miles." Thin may be very true, and very dab , able for sailing vessels, but steamers, I apprew.aa, could lie as safely and am quietly in sheltered harbours of leer nag• nifteent dimensions. Again, what provislon ia these for coaling ? For I presume the Blaelti,od steamers could scarcely use black turf in their ocean navigation. Lord Mayo also very telly poiats oat the tots! absence of railway 1- ..'vw this .—" rm u ;r c o l v o m f l i tc hi: a eo n' : i- ; communication with the north.weste• .. .• . I h. t i - tt I am at a loss to mace! voi uott of bv.....liar a packet station. I suppose it would requ i re 100 miles of railway to connect it with Mullinpr, and that through a non unpromising country. Mr. John Gray, of Kingstown, who belonged to the staff of the late eminent engineer, Mr. Nimmo, bears testimony to the opinion of that distinguished man in favour of Blacksod Bay. The following statement, without date, appears is the .Beeteing Mail:— We have heard from a source which we deem faith worthy, that forty men of a regiment quartered in • mid land county, having read the amount of the murder of the soldier of the 31st by certain—as yet unknown—members of the . liberal party !" resolved, on deliberation, to quit, the church whose teaching led tosueh a catastrophe. Having formed this resolution, they sent a deputation to th eta colonel to request that be would alter the registration of their religion from Homan esthetic to protestant. The gallant officer having ascertained the cause of tble allwria• tion, advised them to deliberate more maturelylllll the si► ject before they took any final step in the. To this suggestion they yielded, but after some days inf ormed him that their determination was to join the protestant church, into which they were received. At the annual dinner of the farming society on Lord Erne's Fermanagh estates, his lordship ad dressed his tenantry in the following speech; His loraship said—My friends, I cannot proceed to enter upon the business of our annual farming meeting, without expressing a hope that wears unanimous in heartfelt thank ! fulness to the Giver of all good for having granted such a beautiful harvest, and glorious weather for saving it. It is our duty, as I trust it is our delight, to feel and express ourselves growthl for the very many blessings we enjoy, mid as I sympathised with you in your past trials, so I now rejoice with you in your brighter prospects. My friends, there is an old and true saying, that " Christmas comes but once a year, and when it tomes it brings good cheer." Now 1 say beptembee comes bat once • year, sad when it tomes it brings me cheer and I hops you can echo the sentiment—it cheers me, because it brings round the time for viewing the farms of those of my tenants who are competing for my premium and who are anxious to adopt the best system of farming ; sad it now more particularly cheers me, for I am enabled to tell you that at last, after upwards of thirteen years of hard toil, and expen diture of money on my part of giving premiums, I see many mom competing this year than in former years, and a more general improvement throughout the estate. The little seed about which I have so often spoken has been more generally sown, I am glad to say, and brings forth fruit among the great majo rity of my tenantry; but I am sorry to find too many yet who forget the advice, or are to& idle to follow it. I wish yea would inquire from your industrious neighbours whether they approve of this seed of isumstry ; ask them if it does not bring happiness, content ment and make everything flourish upon their farms. lie sauced all that We country requires is, that its inhabitants should become industrious. Providence has blessed us with a most fertile soil, a good climate, and, in fact, everything that we could desire; bet many, I am sorry to soy, Ratan that little seed, which is more valuable than the g ol d of California. Now. I would entreat of my slow friend, to think seriously upon this subject, and to determine from this day forwud to sow and cultivate it ; if you do so, and will apply to my aviculturist for advice, and then act up to it, I will stake my existence that, with clod's blessing, all will go well with you, sad you will have peace and contentment in your families, and your barns well stored. There am some other matters to which I wish to call your attentkot, sad which I think of great importance at this moment. You are I sup pose, aware that Engle, as it is supposed, has decided at the last election that we are to have no more protection, and that free trade, I fear, is to he the order of the day for the future, and we must all hope it will be for the barn. Now, my friendr, there come@ the question, what had we farmers totter do? My advice to you is to turn your thoughts to making butter and feeding young stock. Then you may ask me what is the best way of doing this ? And I go back to the old story—sow the little seed, and cultivate it in the education of your families. Thee clear your lands and free them from weeds; for, depend upon it, they will not make either good butter nor rear good calves • and, in order to get your lands clear and free from weeds, you should sow green crepe ; but do not think that merely sowing green crops will kill the weeds. You must, during the time the crops are growing, care• folly pull up the weeds twenty times over if necessary. Of course, you will, before the awing time comes, and indeed at once, without delay, dig or plough up your land, by which means the snow will assist in killing the weeds, and will pulverise the land, which will then be ready for you to work aga u in spring ; but recollect to treat the family weeds as bitter enemies, and allow none to grow throng your crops. The next thing is to lay down the green crop Meld with grass seed and clover; by these means yen will assuredly cauquer the weeds. A friend of mine said to me the other day, " Lord Erne, I am aware that you give pre miums to your tenants for the good cultivation of their farms I was therefore anxious to see what progress they h ad made and I certainly never saw finer crops (here he paused) of weeds and rushes." Now, was this a plea sant thing for me to hear after upwards of thirteen years of anxious struggle, trying to make farmers of all my tenants ? Do but recollect, that land cannot produce both weeds and good crops, so decide upon which of the two you prefer. I now come to the next consideration, that of dairies—they are not what they ought to be on the estate, and in order to encourage the tenants to have better dairies, I will give preiniumson the different estates to those tenants who will build good dairies, for it is essential that they should be clean, well ventilated, in order that you may get first prise. A butter merchant of this town told me the other day that there is no better butter made in Ireland than what is generally made here, but that a good deal of butter corning to this market I. smoked and full of hairs, which, of course, would be the cause of lose of character to the merchant. Now, you all know that those d Orin, and milk not properly strained, will produce these detect" complaintil of. Now, I du hope that you will all pay attention to these matters, however small in them- Pelves, and that those who have reaped the benefit of fol lowing tho improved system of farming, will assist me in the I good work, end advise their neighbours, explaining to them the great advantage of the system ; by their co-operation I mill hope to see the whole estate eultivsted as farms should be cultivated. I trust you will set to work with resolution ; bring up your families industriously, and the Lord will bless your endeavours. THE CHURCH. CLERICAL APPOtNTNENTE. Meese of Derry—The Rev. John It.

I am Treasurer of the United llotpitals of Bridewell and Bethlehem. What are your duties as treasurer ?—To superintend the affairs of the hosnital, both as to its attendants, aid the detsi.s of the hospital. Have you any and whet power to control or interfere with the conduct of any of the medical officers, or the matron ?—Nona whatever, except as an individual member of the board. If I perceive anything improper in the con duct of any one, I should immediately report it to the committee, who would take the matter up. But you have no power as treasurer ?—As treasurer I have none. Probably, were I to suspend any one, the board would consider it a judicial act, and the exercise of a proper power, presuming that I made out that it warn a case to justify the suspension. Have you any and what power to suspender rescind any of the existing rules or regulations of the hosjtal, subject to the sanction of the board of governors or otherwise ? Directly I have no power to rescind any rules.

It may have been on some matters, hat nothing occurs to my mind of my having done so. Have you ever given any orders at variance with the practice previously in use at the hospital ?—I do not know. there may have been something with regard probably to the mode of treatment, or the supervision of female pa tients. I think I recollect sone time ago that there was some misunderstanding between the matron and the resident medical officer as to the power that each had in controlling disputes that occasionally arose ; and I think I suggested that the matron should take a little more to herself ; that the medical man should not interfere so much as he had been doing. I believe that arrangement has beets adored between them since, and these misunderstandings have terminated. How long have you held the office of treasurer ?—A little more than three years. Bow long ago was it that you gave that order ?—lt may have been two years ago. Some time after 1 had been up pointed treasurer I found many little things that I was nut quite satisfied with, and they were continually disputing as to which of them had the power to do it. I felt that there was not quite employment enough for the patients. I think the employment of the patients rested with the medical officer, or with the matron, and I said I must call upon the matron to find full employment for the patients. Having thus interposed to regulate these little differ elms between the matron and the medical officer, did you report such interference to the governors?—No, I did not; ' I felt it was entirely a matter of detail left in my howls. Did it not strike you to be a most important matter of detail P—lt did, but I was not at all conscious that I was interfering with the rules it is only within a few d a y s that I heard so; up to that poked it was not a rule ; I wan not 'tenacious that it was so. It was clearly by your own showing • new rule in stituted by you, because there appears to have been a variance between the medial man and the matron, and you laid down a rule for their observance I—l did not know it was a new rule; I felt that there was • misunder standing about the rules. I understood you to say, you did not report it to the governors ?—I did not. They, themselves, did not appear to understand what the rule was; and I rather interpreted the rule than made a new one. Can any other governor suspend ?—No. Can any other governor exercise the same power as you do ?—I should say not. Have you made any and what alterations in the manage ment or superintendence of the wards for female patients ? —With the exception of that one, I am not conscious of having made any. Which do you allude to?—As to requesting there should be a larger amount of employment, and that the matron should be the person to attend, keep up, and maintain that employment. In whom is the power vested of hiring, suspending, and discharging officers and attendants of the establishment ? la MN degree it is with myself, but I cannot hire any male attendant except on the recommendation of the medi cal officer; and I cannot hire any female attendant except on the recommendation of the metres. In tact, the matron finds all the female attendants, and takes them en trial; aid after they have been there so long as to justify her re commending them, she recommends them, and upon her recommendation I invariably act. I never find a servant myself, I act upon her recommends ion. That is distinctly one of the duties of the treasurer, as will appear by the list I have brought with me. The other servants of the hospi tal, who are not either male or female attendants, are re commended to me by the steward. limit 27 is the one to which I refer. When the appointment has been made, is it reported to the committee or to the governors for conflromtioe h—No. Thtn the appointment is absolutely with the trenurer, in feet T—Yes, upon those recommendations, after a resi dence is the hospital during tho period of probation. By whom are inquiries made as to the character and effi• ciency of the attendants, before they are engage-4?-11y the matron,' with regard to all female attendants; before it was jointly by the apothecary and steward, until the new miles, but now it is solely by the matron with regard to all Mule attendants, and by the steward solely with regard to all male olhicisis. They are the parties who make the reports, and you act apeatheir reports f—They are the parties who being per mi s. nto the hospital on probation, and report to me that have introduced into the hospital such a person upon e pella ti harsje t n r h l e o y a f r r i e d w po a h f ri o te m r t h t a ls t t h c yet their i a r t s e a : r l e i: i e c i n e ec :u a i r p v e o e n t. d p t Lo a f b a r cio n t o: y n f :f c t o t h u r e rY n a they are appointed. Have there net been recently frequent discharges and changes amongst the attendants ?—fhere have been a great number of changes among the female attendants, but very few discharges. Can you mention what has been the cause ef that?—lt has been reported that such and such a person has given notice to quit, without expressing any reason ; and in some instances at has been accompanied by a statement, or rather an observation, that such a party was not suitable; but not very often. I only recollect two males who have been discharged during three years ; one I found had been lend ing books to some of the girls oonnected with the House of Occupation : the books were not of an immoral character at all, but 1 telt it so improper for him t 3 lend them, that I thought it a setticient reason to discharge him. The other person had bsen guilty of great unkindness and neglect of the patients, and I discharged hint immediately. You do not assign any cause for the frequent changes among the female attendants f—The matron is below, and she will be able to tell you that much:better than I can. 1 When reports are made to you on th e su bj ec t o f t h e hos pital or the patients and attendants, by whom are they made, and how often ?—Tho reports come up generally every Friday, in a tabular form, 111. to the number of edam sinus or number of discharges, the number of deaths, or ac cidents. These reports are always made weekly, uud the . ease-book is examined alto those who have been discharged. We do not usually look over the case-book except ,M to , . i i
