OP the !several departments in which the Ario dation for the Promotion of Social Science is organized none has done better service than that which occupies itself with the condition and laws of public health. No other department has attracted to its discussions so large a number of practised scientific observers, who have enriched its proceedings with the result of their inquiries, and no other has exerted so direct and beneficial an influence on legislation. It has been customary to introduce the business of each session with a general survey of the field of inquiry. In discharging this duty at the congress now sitting, Dr. Fear, the president of the year, compared the condition of the leading nations of Europe in respect of public health. Circumstances are just now lending increased importance to this question ; we are at the present time spectators of political changes as important as any which have taken place within the present century, and are looking for nothing less than a reconstruction of the map of Europe. Population is that ele ment of national force which, in all ages, states men and politicians have been most ready to re cognise. But the rate of mortality which prevails in a country, and which is no other than the measure and expression of the public health, is one of the chief determining elements of the nu merical strength of the population ; while the quality of that population, as strong and healthy, and apt for all the works of peace and the achieve ments of war, depends directly upon the proportion of deaths to the number of persons living. It makes all the difference to the strength of a country at a given period, whether nine hundred of its adults are bringing up six hundred children, or nine hundred children are under the care of six hundred adults. In the scale of the health of the several European nations Russia occupies the lowest place. If the enormous territory of that empire were as densely populated as England, it would contain no fewer than five hundred and twenty-three millions of inhabitants. Its real condition gives Dr. FARR occasion to remark that "it enables us to conceive ; " the state of the population of Europe in the , " dark ages." The people of its various races, from the Caucasus to the Arctic Ocean, &e at all ages, from birth up to a hundred and forty years, as is said ; but their mean lifetime is only twenty-five years, and their death-rate thirty-six per thousand. The mortality is greatest in the south of the empire, ranging from forty to fifty-two about the Caucasus, the Black Sea, and the Caspian, while in the cold provinces on and near the shores of the Baltic it is nearly as low as in England. The countries comprehended in the new kingdom of Italy suffer much from disease, especially those recently incorporated, and which were long under the rule of petty princes. The death-rate of the whole kingdom is thirty. In Parma it is thirty-five, Modena thito-one, Romagna and the Marshes thirty-one, Tuscany thirty-three, and Naples thirty-five. Umbria, however, is healthier even than Piedmont, and Rome, thanks to her aqueducts, is the healthiest city of Italy. Dr. FARR remarks, as a peculiarity of Italy, that the population of the country is as unhealthy as that of the towns, and designates as among the first duties of the Government which has supplanted the small paralysing despotisms, the restoration of the great drainage works and the magnificent aque ducts for which the country was once famous. Of Turkey, Syria, Egypt, and North Africa, con nected with each other and with Europe by the Mediterranean, all that can be said is, that while they are among the faiest regions of the world, they are desolated by diseases, unhealthier than Russia or Italy, and numerics of the plague that subjects Europe to the vexatious oppressiun of quarantine. A high rate of mortality prevails all over Germany and the countries subject to German government. In Austria it is 30 ;in PEU IO O4 Bavaria, and the Upper Danube, and in Saxony:33. In none of these countries do the people live on an average 30 years. Dr. Finn observes that 300,000 men, women, and children are killed in Germany every year by diseases in texcess of the numbers dying of the same diseases in France. England may be taken as the centre of a healthier European region. In Norway the death rate is 17 pr. 1,000, and the mean lifetime of the people full 50 years. In Holland, with its river deltas and natural difficulties of drainage, the rate of mortality is 26, and the mean lifetime 35. In Belgium, although the population is denser than in any other part of Europe, the death rate little exceeds 22. It is by this last figure that the mortality of our own country and France is represented. We die at the rate of 22 per 1,000 every year, the mean age of our population is 26 years, and we live 35 years on an average. The rapid increase of our population excites the wonder of foreign statisticians, but while the increase continues it does so at a decreasing rate, owing to the vast emigration which takes place from our shores. " The population of the American colonies, of the " United States, of Australasia, and of the United " Kingdom, was twenty millions in 1801, thirty " eight millions in 1831, and sixty-five millions in " 1861. Here is an increase of 18 and of 27, H or, in the aggregate, of 45 millions in sixty " years ; and after deducting sufficient numbers " for the increase of alien rages, a residue of in " crease is left equal in its multitude to the pre- I " sent population of France." These are remark able facts, reminding us how much the character .of our civilization is destined to affect that of the human rate, apart from the political fortunes of our own State. It will be wise, however, not to allow them to divert attention from the great and manifest defect' which remain to be supplied in our own sanitary condition. A trunk which sends out and nourishes such mighty branches must it self be protected from influences which would destroy its health and vigour. EXPRZSS, OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) THE WEST REDDIO REFORM DEMONSTRATION. The Times does not accept Mr. Bright's reply to his critics, who have complained that his speeches show no new arguments, and reiterates the charge that he con fines himself to stock commonplaces, and never alludes to the arguments which have had the greatest force with the educated classes, and which swayed the decision of the House of Commons. Our contemporary considers all real discussion to be at an end until February next. If anything has been made clear by the agitation of the year, it is the immense superiority of parliamentary over platform oratory, not less in genius than in usefulness. The present agitation, too, is confined to a single class, and therefore the West Riding demonstration, however multitudinous, cannot claim the weight accorded to it by Mr. Bright. The agitation has gone far enough to show its character and strength, and to con vince us that, though a moderate Reform Bill may be accepted, no demonstrations, however imposing, and no platform eloquence, however vigorous, will make parliament—and the higher and middle classes who sup port it—give the power of the country into the hands of the slaves of the trades' unions. The great movement, observes the Daily News, gathers force and strength. The proceedings are necessarily me notocous, and nothing but an earnest purpose could bring the men together. If Mr. Bright's speeches have been less eloquent than in former agita tions it is because the situation is changed, and he is showing an instinctive sense of the requirements of the occasion and of his audience. The mere fact that the recent is occupied with an agitation which has reached the formidable dimensions of the reform movement is itself proof of a defeat in our political arrangements. As a govern ing assembly, the mechanism of the House of Commons is perfect ; but on its representative side its defects are signal. It should be, in fact, simply an instrument for bringing the national mind and will to bear upon the exe cutive ; but under our restricted electoral system a genuine appeal to the country cannot be made. The constitutional mechanism which enables the House of Commons to check the executive does not enable the nation in anything like the same degree to check the House of Commons. The consequence is what we all know. There are bitches in the working of the machine. What is needed is a read justment of our political system such as shall make the action of the national opinion and will upon the House of Commons as easy and instantaneous and precise as the action of the House of Commons upon the administration. When this is done, when any honest step towards its ac complishment is attempted, the abnormal and undesirable, but perfectly legal and necessary agitation of the labouring Glasses will cease. The Post insinuates that Mr. Bright reported progress to the meeting in order to stimulate the subscriptions. The organisation of these " great meetings" requires some pecu niary resources ; there are travelling expenses, tavern bills, and the like, to say nothing of testimonials. The Herald limits itself almost entirely to strong denun ciations of Mr. Bright. As a liberal, it says, his career has been nothing but a fruitful source of ridicule and damage to liberalism. As a reformer he has appealed to physical force. He is not even an Englishman in any proper sense. The Herald denies that good qualities and good deeds of the working men establish a necessary claim to the franchise. A man may be sober, and honest, and even intelligent ; it does not follow that he should have a rote for the election of a member of parliament, or that the House of Commons is an imperfect represen tation because he does not directly take a part in its con stitution. The Telegraph dwells upon the opportuneness of Mr. Bright's remarks that reform must be won by a union be tween all the grades of society. The passage, it says, should be learnt by heart to serve as the guiding memento for all genuine and earnest liberals. A movement like the one which we now witness was carried to triumph 34 years ago, when only 100,000 Englishmen met in the same earnest way at the Bull ring. Now, district after district is exhibiting a mightier assemblage, and success has therefore become a mere question of time and insistance. The Star regards the speech as probably one of the most argumentative that Mr. Bright has ever delivered. Can those who revile him gainsay his statements or answer his arguments? The people follow him because they have faith in his leadership, and he is the le►der of the reform movement because he has faith in the people. To alienate his followers is as impossible as to answer his arguments. THE PEEBBAN7BING OF GERMANY. 40001461mi1a to Praha and thi Northern confederacy onlp amide either the submisdas, et the removal of their princes. It is only Saxony which still opposes the MI6- cation of Germany under Prussia, not an active redelence, bat a mere vat Merritt. The Daily News observes that the manifesto of the Hanoverian deputies reduces the pretext of King George and the address of his courtiers to insignificance, and it paints out the significant fed that theme representatives declare that a political division of Northern Germany from the South is admissible only during the present period of transition. Thus the North German Confederation is viewed as a temporary arrangement, and the demand is made that it shall be so organised as to admit of the acme- Mon of sonthern states, which must have the right to join it whenever they please. This is the sentiment which ham been steadily gaining ground throughout Ger many ever since Prussia showed at Sadows that she pos sessed the qualities for the leadership of Germany. Baden, Bavaria, and Wurtemberg, which were to have formed a South German Confederation, have not the slightest dis position to do so. All are tending towards Prussia. When the King of Hanover calmly considers these facts, he will perceive that, whatever came he may have to complain of the Prussian government, he has lost his crown in conse quence of his inability to conform himself to a great national movement of which he underrated the force. Remarking that Wheatstone, to whom it attributes the whole credit of the use of the electric telegraph, has been left out of the new roll of honour in connection with the Atlantic cable, the Times proceeds to refer to the general neglect of inventors and clisooverers whose services enrich the world, and asks what almost all the last batch of peers have done to win their coronets ? What is the worth of the fresh batch which it is proposed to make? The Herald says that the report of the committee of investigation of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railwie throws into the shade every antecedent revelation of the irregularities, improvidences, and infidelities of boards, officials, and intermediaries. The names of • certain well-known baronet, his partners and nominees, figure again and again in transactions which it is difficult to characterise in terms of sufficiently strong reprobation. With a deficit of about 300,0001. in its annual income, with most expensive and burdensome extensions and de pendencies, with a daily augmenting load of embarrass ments and difficulties, the company still wants a million and a quarter to put it into proper working order. Speaking in terms equally strong of the mass of ilhe gality and financial looseness, to call It by its mildest name, which the report reveals, the Star adds that it de precates any dimensions among the shareholders and credi tors which may lead to the permanent injury of the traffic. The property is a magnificent one, and it cannot help thinking that after a period of paternal despotism under the supervision of the Court of Chancery, and an Arrange ment Act next session, the line will yet see days of great prosperity. The Times urges the Privy Council to rescind the resolu tion not to issue any more daily returns of the deaths from cholera. The disease shows indications of a renewed vitality in the metropolis, and the returns are moat useful es indicating the movements of the disease to different localities. Each district has its peculiar dangers, and it is upon the authorities of the various parishes that the duty of protection rests. Rut these local boards are apt to dis regard any sanitary danger which II I not forced under their ;mmediate notice, and they need to be incessantly re minded of their positron with reference to such a disease as cholera. the Court.

Sir John Pakington arrived in town yesterday from his seat, Westwood Park, Worcester. shire. Tho Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer arrived in town yesterday from Hughenden Manor, Bucks. A correspondent of the Morning Post says that from certain rumours which are at present current in London he is forced to conclude that the vice of gambling is once more trying to make its way ; and that not in what might be called the professional circles, but " initiated and conducted by those whose high social povition appears to suggest to them no shame for their proceedings." Amongst the oriental curiosities in the Loan Exhibition ►t Southampton is an official dayger of a Hindoo bard, the property of Mr. Tennyson, the poet laureate. The following curious statement has been affixed to it by the laureate, viz.:—" In Guzerat are a number of petty chiefs called Thakoors, whose condition somewhat resembles that of the old Highland chieftains of Scotland, or did so a few years ago. Each chieftain had his family bard, who was also the family historian. These bards were called Bhits, Bharotes, 13Lareits, or Charans. No treaty or marriage settlement was complete unless countersigned by the bards of the respective families, whose signature was a rude representation of the kuth►, or dagger, worn by them. These daggers were often heirlooms, and are by no means easy to get. This one belonged to the family of Bhit, or Charen, of Veerangarum, ► town about forty miles from Ahmedabad, in Guzerat, Presidency of Bombay." The betrothal of Prince Albert of Prussia, a nephew of the King, with Princess Mary of the Nether. lands, his cousin, is to take piece shortly. The Prince is the last unmarried member among the adults of the royal family, which, exclusive of children under age, consists of eight males and eleven females. The Austrian royal family is more than twice as strong. Before changing her residence at Hanover for the chlteau of Hildesheim the Queen received a depute , tion from the town. On this occasion the Queen a wanted for her husband's persistent opposition to Prussia by telling the astonished citizens that the King had often had revelations from on high granted to him in the watches of the night. It was after one such Divine command that he resolved to hold out to the last, even at the risk of a war. The religious enthusiasm of the Queen seems to be equally intense with that of the King, who bad no hesita tion in asserting with his own royal lips, some time ago, that the same hour in which he ascended the throne the spirit of God had descended upon him, and fitted him to rule in its stead. "In the primary scheme of creation," he added, " the existence and regal might of the Guelphs was already determined upon. Their sway, therefore, would last till the end of all time, to the honour of God and the well-being of their subjects." General Moltke, the strategist in the late cam paign, in a preface to General Solicki's " History of the Seven Years' War," just published, warns his countrymen against indulging in " the intoxicating draught of victory." He says :—" Notwithstanding the intoxication consequent upon the war in which every fight was a victory, it will be advisable to review the former struggles of this country, which with varying fortunes were carried on by our ancestors, and to maintain which its existence has had to be so frequently staked." There are 55 protestant churches in China, and 95 protestant missionaries. Protestant missionaries are also settled in Nagasaki and Yokohama, in Japan. Many of the rich Japanese are learning from these missionaries the languages of the Western nations. Thirty-eight members of the Lower House of the Hano. mien parliament have put forth a manifesto referring the downfall of their state and dynasty to the infatuation of their late monarch, who, they urge, disregarded their suggestions of a policy in keeping with the requirements of their country's welfare. To the truth and justice of this language the Times bears witness from its recol lections of the recent transactions to which it alludes. The various minor German sovereigns looked on themselves as the state, and had no share in the views of their people who aspired to a con solidation of their nationality. Opposition to Prussia was on the part of the princes rebellion against Germany, treason against their subjects. The Hanoverian parlia ment signified as much to King George, and he took no heed of their warnings and protests. The consequence is, that already, on the day of annexation, the union of Hanover with the great German State of Prussia is an onearrense " equally auspicious for both" in the opinion of one section of the country, and that, before a twelve. month is over, the section which is merely resigned and that which is still hostile will be won over to the same views. As against the union of Prussia and Hanover no obstacle arose save the Guelph dynasty, their court and capital, so the approximation of Baden, Wurtemberg, and - ___---_ LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

DEPARTURE OF ENOLISII VOLUNTEERS FOR BELGIUM.-(TRIS DAY.) This morning a large number of the volunteers who have accepted the invitation to attend the forth coming fetes at Brussels left London at an early hour by the South-Eastern Railway at Charing-cross for Dover, whence they will be conveyed by special packets (free) by the Belgian government. Most of those who departed this morning belonged to metropolitan volunteer regiments, and many of them were recognised as shots who have made themselves famous at the annual national rifle meetings at Wimbledon ; there was also a fair sprinkling of members of various country corps, numbers of whom arrived in the metropolis last night, and could be seen about the City in the course of the evening. All the volunteers, many of whom were accompanied by their friends, were in full dress, and nearly all carried the rifles which are to play a prominent part, it is believed, in the contests for the splendid and valuable list of prizes offered by the King and Queen of the Belgians, the Crown Prince, the Count de Flandre, the government, and the Garde Civique, and in which they will not only have to contend with their Belgian brethren of former years but also, it is understood, against a large body of French riflemen, nearly a thousand of whom have announced their intention of being present to take part in the fetes. Boats to Antwerp and Rotterdam this afternoon from St. Katheiine's-wharf will also take a good number of the 1,200 volunteers who are to assemble at the Place des Nations, near the Northern Railway Station, to-morrow evening, at 7 o'clock, and it is fully anticipated that by this time the entire force will have arrival. The most important departure of the volunteers, how , ever, will take place this afternoon, when it is expected that some three or four hundred will leave by special train from Ilishopsgate-street at half past 5 o'clock for Har wich, whence they will be conveyed by the splendid steamer Avalon, which has been excellently fitted up for the occasion with about 300 beds and all conveniences, for Antwerp. Much interest is centred in the departure from the Great Eastern Railway of the volunteers, and no doubt a great number of persons will be present to witness it. THE WEST COAST OF AFRICA.

An archbishop of the Eng Hal church is one u. - zealous devotees. Clergymen of the English church, and ministers of dissenting congregation are numerous amongst its ad herents The army, from the general to the private, fur nishes recruits. Doctors, lawyers, and scientific and lite rary men are prominent in its pursuit. The senior wrangler of last year is an accomplished photographer. Every trade, no matter how lowly, every profession, no matter how engrossing, is compelled to afford some leisure to the earn est amateur in photography. Even royalty has not dis dained to yield to the fascinations which surround the camera, and dark rooms are found attached to more than one royal palace. Societies have started into existence to discuss the processes, and aid each other in the practice of the new art. The Photographic Society of London, with the sovereign of the realm for its patron, the ex. Lord Chief Baron of the F.:cheerer for its president, and noblemen, artists, and men of science for its council, has , a roll of nearly four hundred members, including every I grade in society. A dozen other local societies with simi ler aim are scattered throughout the country. Similar associations are spread over continental Europe and America, and is all these the professional photographer I and the amateur, the artist whose aim is to produce pie tuxes, and the devotee of science, whose only object is to , penetrate the arcane of nature, vie with each other in the ardour with which they pursue the several branches which photography opens to them.
