The annual rate of mortality was 35 per 1.000 persons living. In London the births of 1,160 boys and 1,077 girls, in all 2.=:7 children, were registered in the week. In the oorrespontling weeks of ten yearn 1857-66 the avenige number. corrected for increase of population. was 2,17.4. The deaths iegistered in Londe, during the week were 1,880. It was the fourth week of the year ; soli the average number of deaths for that week is, with a correation for increase of population. 1,641. The deaths in the prevent return -coed. the estimated number by 239. The deaths registered in the last three weeks ending Jan, 96, amounted to 5,485, while the deaths of the three preceding weeks coding Jan. 5, amounted to 4.250 ,• and the di ff erence is 1, 2: )5. Now the mean temperature of the three cold weeks ending January 19th waa 30.2 dep. ; of the three mild week. ending December' 11th,42.9 degs. ; leaving a difference of 19.7 dep. So every degree of de pression. over three week., corresponded nearly to 160 deaths in London. The excessive number of deaths is thus distributed over five ages: 164 at ages under 20 ; 193 at 20-40,312 at 40-60. 531 at 60-80, and 106 at the age of 80 and upwards. When the deaths are compared with the numbers living at the corresponding ages. these results are obtained : to 100,000 persons living at each of the five ages, the deaths were 12 le 0-24, 12 at 20-40, lii at 40410, 297 at 60-80, and 884 at the age of 80 and upwards. As age advances after childhood, the power fails of producing the internal warmth by which life is upheld.

The rate in Vienna was .10 per 1,000 during the week ending the 19th inst., when the mean temperature was 6.1 deg. Fehrenheit higher than in the same week in London. where the rate was 29 per 1,000. Nine water companies state that they supplied London on a daily average with 94,0.'4,159 gallons, equal to 427.:611 cubic metres, or about as many t u ns by weight. This was nearly a ton of water, or a cubic metre, to a house. Dr. Frank land's careful id impartial analysis shows that the solid matter in 100,000 parts of the waters ranged from 31.34 (Chelsea) to 39.40 (Kent) ; the organic matter from 0.69 (New River) to 2.64 (East Loudon). The waters, except those of the New River, were turbid when drawn from the stains. RAILWAY AND OTHER BILLS IN PARLIAMENT.— Yesterday Messrs.

Sittings st Nisi Prins, in Middlesex.—(Betore Mr. Justice Bytes and a Common Jury.) SIZAPIRA Y. ITUDDT. This wsei on action to recover for necessaries supplied to the defendant's wife. Mr. 0 . 31..i11ey. Q.l'., and Mr. R. Cooper appeared for the pl. ntin ; and Mr. Serjeant Parry for the defendant. The learned counsel, in opening the plainti ff 's ease, sa id that the defendant, who load carried on the business of a rag merchant at Queenhithe under the name of iienrinuez, married his wife in 1535, and shortly after received from her Lisl4.ll. A long course of ill-treatment followed, and the wife became chargeable to several parishes, and on another occasion the defendant had a month's imprison ment for assaulting her. Finally the defendant deserted his wife altogether, and in 1865 she went to board and lodge in the plaintifFs house, from which she had, ten years before, been married. _ Mr. Saipira said he was a professor of languages, and lived in Hunt. r-street. The defendant lodged in his house in 1,55, and mulled his wife, Miss Maria Young Henriquel, there. They continued to live there for eighteen months, when they left. In July, 1863, Mrs. Ruddy applied to his wife, and that lady aftenrarde lived in his house from the Ist August to the end of December, at 11, a week. She came again, and continued, with inter val. of absence, till October, 1866. ernes-examined—The defendant was a general mer chant, and had had a warehouse at Queenhithe. Witness did not know that since he gave up that place be had lived in the model lodging-houses at Deptford. The de fendant never complained of the conduct of witness to wards Mrs. Ruddy Witness never visited that lady except in company with his own wife ; nor did the defendant com plain of his doing so. Mrs. Ruddy said she was the wife of the defendant, !mein.; been married to him in April, 1855. Her father was a physician in Jamaica. On her marriage the defen dant received 1,0001. from the sale of a reversionary interest belonging to a itness. After leaving the plaintiff's house with ter h•: shard they went to reside at Battersea. The plaintiff ealled there with his wife, and once or twice alone. Her husband never charged her with adultery with the pLiictitf. When her husband received the I,ooof. he opened ortices as a merchant in Mark-lane. The business was carried on in the names of Maria Young Henriques and Jesse Henriques, the maiden name of witness andthe name of her sister. He passed as their servant. lie was turned oat of Mark-lane, and then be took a warehouse at Queenhithe. He did not take her to Queenhithe. He sent her in a boat, and told her to wait until a person came to her and took her to where she was to go to. He afterwards took apartments in High-street, ICingsland, for her, describing her as his fancy lady, and saying he was going :Amid. In three weeks he was turned out from that place. They moved about to various places. He bou;ht some laud and built a house near Victoria-park. He soon mold the furniture, and put her and her children , into the stables with some straw to heliport. He went off to Scot; in.! with ;OW. This was in 1862. Front this house the mash doctor ordered their removal to Bethnal-green workhouse. A day afterwards the defendant appeared, bringing with him a printed bill called a" Third Caution," addremed to the public, and it called attention to " a woman who goes shout in a bat and feathers and a silk dress, and calls herself my wife." He also accused her of making sway with property, and made other men. pations. and declared that she was not his wife. The witness asserted that most of these statements were un'rue. and others she explained. She had on one occasion sold some gravel of his, and this she did by direction of the defendant's solicitor, who said the defendant was mad. In 1862 she also became chargeable to the Whitechapel parish, and soon afterwards she was in Mile-end workhouse. In November, 1862, the defendant was sent to prison for throwing her out twice into the middle of the street in the night. The defendant went to prison for a month. He had not provided her with a home since the last day of Nevenber, 1863. When he left the apartments he was indebted to the landlord, and told him to take the few things he hail, and a broker was called in and they were sold. He had given her no money since, but she had re ceived assistance from her motbees trustees. Cress-examined—She knew her husband about eighteen months before she married him. She did not first meet him in the Euston-romi at two in the morning. She first met him at a dancing-room in Gower-street. She was married April 21st, 16. V.,, and her Mat child was born in July or August following. She never told the defendant before she was married that she was in the family way by somebody else. and request him to marry her, as the child, if born in wedlock, would be entitled to property. It would, if born in wedlock, be entitled to property. She had two children living, and the defendant had put them into a refuge, declaring for the purpose that witness was dead. They were now out of the refuge, but witness had not seen them for some time. She paid her husband the I,OOIY. two or three months after marriage with her own hand. Her family allowed her, as charity, 36/. a year. It was mice 401. a year. She denied that she had ever seized and taken away the defendant's furniture. She had once broken a picture that the defendant was going to give to a kept woman of his. She also broke • chair which he was going to take away, so that she should sit upon the floor. She never used to annoy the customers of the defendant at his warehouse, and tell them not to deal with old Irish Ruddy. She never threatened to murder the child and lay it to his charge. The witness denied having been guilty of improper anti• macy with other men, and she also denied some other im putations made upon her. Mrs. Szapira, the plaintiff's wife, proved that Mrs. Ruddy had lodged at their house during the time charged for. At th is stage of the proceedings a consultation took place between the counsel in the case, their object being, it was stated, not only to settle this action but to make some arrangement in reference to the future. Mr. Serjeant Parry afterwards said that he was not able at present to make arrangements as to the future, but he bad advised his client that he ought, to the extent of his ability, to make some allowance to his wife. He added that whatever the real merits of the case were, he felt that he bad no legal defence to the action, and therefore he would consent to a verdict for XV. A ierdict for this amount was accordingly entered for the plaintiff by consent. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. -JAN. 29. Sittings in Baneo.—(Before the Lord Chief Baron and Baron Martin, Chatinell, and Pigott.) JUNIPER T. THE VESTRY Or BERIIONDsEY. • • • This case raised an important question as to the liability of public bodies for injuries sustained by the negligence of their servants. The plaintiff's husband, while walking along Blue Anchor-road, Bermondsey, stumbled in the dark over a heap of earth, and sustained an injury to hie ankle, which shortly afterwards terminated in his death. It appeared that the defendants had entered into a con tract with two persons to construct • sewer in that thoroughfare, but that for some reason they took the work out of their hands in the course of its progress, and carried it on themselves under the direction of their sur veyor. The accident happened after this change had been effected, and the jury found negligence on the part of the defendants in not properly fencing and lighting the path siainwhere the deceased fell. and found a verdict for the tiff—damages, 875/. The trial came on at Guildhall ore the late Lord Chief Baron and • special jury. Sub sequent!y this court granted a rule to set aside the verdict and enter a verdict for the defendants or for a non suit, on the ground that there was no negli gence, that the relation of master and servant did not exist between the vestry and the men through whose negligence the accident arose ; and thirdly—and this WAS the chief point in the cue—that the defendants were not liable, inasmuch as they were a public body entrusted with R public duty which they discharged gratuitously, had been guilty of no personal negligence, and had no funds at their disposal out of which to pay the damages. The rule was partly argued in • pre ce ding term, but the further arguments were postponed until after "Coe r. Wise,"which was then before the Exchequer Chamber, had been dis posed of. That case having now been decided, to-day bad been appointed for re-hearing this case, and it was called on soon after the sitting of the court.. Mr. M. Chambers, Q7C., Mr. Philbrick, awl Mr. Henry T. Atkinson were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Serrant Hayes, Mr. Mundell, Q.C., and Mr. Wills for the de fendants. In Coe r. Wise the action was against the clerk of the Drainage Commissioners of the Middle Level Fens for damage sustained by the bursting of a sluice, and after argument in the Queen's Bench, the Lord Chief Justice and Mr. Justice Mellor held that the commissioners were not liable in their oorpoeate capacity, they being entrusted with a public duty, which they performed without remuneration, having taken no part in its actual performance, and possessing no funds out of which to pay damages. Mr. Justice Blackburn dif fered from his learned brethren, and was of opinion that a duty being cast on the commissioners to maintain the sewers they were liable for the damage caused by the negligent performance of that duty. Upon appeal to the Exchequer Ch►mber, the late Lord Chief Justice &le, as the mouthpiece of that court, delivered an unanimous judgment in favour of the view taken by Mr. Justice Blackburn. It further appeared that the present case was governed by the decisions of the House of Lords in the two well-known caries of " Gibbs r. the Mersey Docks Board " and " Penhallow r. the Mersey Docks Board," which came before that tribunal by way of appeal. They were actions for denier, caused by a vessel getting aground on entering one of the defendants' docks, through the negli gence of their servants, the plaintiff in one being the owner of the ship, and in the other the owner of the cargo, and the House of Lords held that the defendants were liable. Mr. M. Chambers, in showing cause against the role ob tained by the defendants, contended that there was nothing to distinguish this case from the above authorities. The Lord Chief Baron said the only question which seemed. after looking at these decisions, to be open for argument was, whether the right persons had been selected as defendants. He thought it was impossible to distinguish the present from the other cases. Mr.Serjeant Hayes having been heard ►t some length in suppoit of the rule, The Lord Chief Baron, in giving judgment, said that the 'great variety of decisions as to the liability of public bodies of this nature for injuries sustained by the negli gence of their servants bad been swept away by the de cisions of the House of Loids and the Exchequer Chamber, which until dealt with by the legislature must be considered to have finally settled the principles of the law as applicable to cases of this nature. It was now authoritatively decided that a public body created for public purposes, and having only public duties to perform, but receiving no salaries, were liable to an action for damages for the negligence of any servant under their control. It was not for him to say whether such a change in the law was generally speaking for good, but they must be guided by it, and administer justice accordingly. Mr. Baron Martin, in concurring, referred to the two cases in the House of Lords, and said it would, in his opinion, have been monstrous to have held that the Mersey Docks trustees, who received a large sum for allowing vessels to enter the docks, were not responsible for the negligence of their servants employed in and about the ducks in the same manlier as private individuals. He thought the decision of the House of Lords was con formable to law, reason, and good sense, and he was glad the trustees had been made liable. Barons Channell and Pigott being of the same opinion, The rule wu discharged. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. Jks. 29. (Before the Right Hon. Sir J. P. Wilde.) SMITH AND OTHERS T. TERBETT.—JUDORZIST. Sir J. I'. Wilde, in giving judgment in this case, stated that the case was argued before him the week before last. It was a suit in which the plaintiffs propounded the will of a Mrs. Thwaites, and the defendant came before the court and sought to oppose that will as neat of kin of the deceased, she alleging that she was her sister. The plain tiffs disputed her right to do so on the ground that she was not the legitimate sister of the deceased. The issues raised were that Joseph Hoop and Sarah Hoop, who were said to be the father and mother of the defendant, were not lawfully married, and that consequently the defendant was illegitimate When the case was argued the defendant was herself examined. She was an old lady, some 80 yearn of age, and she gave evidence to the effect that the deceased had always recognised her as her sister, and that she had always considered from all their friends and from her mother that the latter and her father were lawfully married. The evidence, however, did not rest entirely on that of the defendant, as there was a deed put in evidence which was executed by the deceased after her husband's death, she having then come into the pretension of very large property, by which she made over to her sister the sum of 30,000/. for life, and to her seven children after her. In that deed the deceased recognised the defendant as her sister, and that he considered satisfied the rules of law, or r a th er the rules of evidence, that the defendant was the legitimate mister of the deceased. There certainly was no evidence of the marriage of the defendant's father and mother, but that he con tended would be immaterial, inasmuch as the deceased had always recognised her as her lawful sister, and had certi fied as to her views in that respect by the deed in ques tion. He therefore held that the second issue natlely, that the defendant was the legitimate sister of the de ceased, had been proved, and that the defendant was en titled to the benefit she sought, namely, to oppose the will. The queen's Advocate applied for coats. There could be no question that the deceased bad always recognised the defendant as her lawful 'Lister. Dr. Spinks, Q.C., opposed the application on the ground that there was no proof whatever that the defendant's father and mother had ever been married. ............... The learned Judge, however, considered that the de ceased having recognised the defendant as her lawful sister, the presumption was that the father and mother were married. He must therefore condemn the plaintiffs in coats. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (Before the Recorder.) James Williams Woods, 20, a gentlemanly-looking young man, surrendered to take his trial upon a charge of stealing a bank note for 1001. the property of Messrs. Barnett, Hoare, and Co. the bankers. , The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Sleigh, who, with Mr. Poland, was instructed to prosecute, said that the prisoner was a young man ; he had been a considerable time in the service of the prosecutors, and they believed he had committed the offence under some sudden temptation, and under these circumstances be WAS instructed to recommend the prisoner to the merciful consideration of the court. Mr. Metcalfe, who appeared for the prisoner, also urged in mitigation of punishment the youth of the prisoner and his previous good character. The Recorder sentenced him to nine months' imprison. ment and hard labour. Thomas Cannon surrendered to take his trial for misde meanour in having unlawfully made a false declaration before one of the commissioners appointed by law to take declarations in certain matte's. Mr. Collins prosecuted ; the defendant conducted his own else. This inquiry occupied the court a considerable time, but a vast quantity of irrelevant matter was introduced into the inquiry by the cross-examination of the defendant, and the real facts appeared to be these. The defendant was the proprietor of • local journal called the South London Journal and Croydon Free Peres and itapperred that in the latter end of the year 186.5 re desired to bor row 1001. of • solicitor named Ellworthy, who consented to advance the money upon the security of the good-will of the newspaper referred to, but he required the defen dant to make a declaration that the property was unen cumbered and under his control. The defendant did sub sequently make • declaration to that effect, and the alle gation on the part of the prosecution was that at the time the defendant made this declaration he was aware that the property in the newspaper had been assigned to other par ties as • security for • second loan that had been advanced by them. The prosecutor, Mr. Ellworthy, was creas e:stained at iamaiderable length by the defendant, but the only material fact that appeared to be elicited from him was that the greater portion of the 1001. had been repaid, and that he had taken other security betides that of the good-will of the newspaper, and that under this security be could realise the whole amount he had advanced when ever he chose to do so. The Recorder having summed up, the jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of Oniftv, but recom mended the defendant to mercy, Re they believed that he was not actuated by any fraudulent intention. The defendant was sentenced to two mouths' imprison ment. Bone Fremen, IS, who had been committed for the murder of her illegitimate child, but in whose case the grand jury ignored the bill, pleaded guilty to the minor offence of unlawfully endeavouring to conceal the dead body. Sarah Spaldi np, 43, and John Shafer, 42, pleaded guilty to the charge of unlawfully endeavouring to conceal the dead body of an illegitimate child, of which the first men. tioned prisoner had been delivered. Mr. liesley, who was instructed to prosecute, said that in this case there was not the slightest ground for believing that the child was born alive. Mr. Cooper, who appeared for Shofer, said that all he had done was to foolishly accompany the other defendant at the time she endeavoured to hide the dead body of the child in a field near Notting-bill. The Reeorder sentenced Spalding to two months, and Shofar to 14 days' imprisonment. George Gomersall Ifolroyd, 28, clerk, and Darid 21, clerk, pleaded guilty to several charges of embezzling considerable sums of money, the property of Meson. Bell and Black, wax veld& manufacturers, in Bow-lane. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) _ . William Hopkinson, 30, was brought up for judgment. The defendant was convicted at the November sessions of We court of having made a false affidavit in the Bank ruptcy Court, with reference to the amount of his debts, and the subsequent inquiries that were made left no douht that there had been some very irregular proceedings carried on by a person named Welshman and another man, who had acted as clerks to an attorney named George. It was represented that a deed had been concocted by which it was made to appear that a r.ertain number of Hopkinson's creditors had given their convent to a certain proposition, under which Hopkinson would have obtained his dis charge, and judgment was respited in order to obtain pos session of this deed, with a view to further legal proceed ings being instituted upon it. Mr. George had been called upon to produce this deed, but he did not do so, and at the hat sessions it was stated that the deed had been de stroyed, and there appeared to he no doubt that this was the fact. Mr. Commissioner Kerr, having referred to these facts, expressed his opinion that it would be useless to put the prosecutors to any further trouble in the matter, espe cially as there wan no power under the Bankruptcy Act to allow the expenses. He had received a oommunication from one of the officers of the Bankruptcy Court to the effect that a large number of deeds of the character repre @ented had been impounded in that court within a very short period, and that many of them were believed to be of the most fraudulent description. He then expressed his opinion that it was of the greatest importance that a public prosecutor should be appointed, and said it ap peared to him that until this was dose no effectual check could be put to such practims as appeared to have been resorted to in the present instance. The defendant was then sentenced to eight months' im prisonment and hard labour. PATENT OPTICS MUSEUM, SOUTH KENSINGTON.— ' Number of visitors for the week ending Jan.

John Bird Ron 4 .otimin, artist, And ;Valiant .Stebt..l9, labourer, were charged with creating a disturbance in Cecil-street, Strand, and forcibly entering the house 1`0.5, in that street, and wilfully damaging certain furniture the property of William Ackrell, a police -sergeant of the F Aekrell stated that he bad been placed in posseudon of the house in question by Mr. Nicholson, agent to the Mar quis of Salisbury, the owner of the property. On Monday the prisoner Rowbotham, who claims to be entitled to possession of the premises, came to the door, accom panied by a number of men, one of whom was the pei. soner Stebbing. Witness was at the upper park of the house, when he heard a loud knocking at the door. He went down to open it, but found he could not do so, in consequence of the pressure of two chisels which had been thrust between the door and the jamb in order to prize it open. Ile called to the persons outside not to force the door, as he would open it. They desisted, and he opened the door. The prisoner and some others, including the two who were armed with the chisels, pushed in, Rowbotham seizing him by the collar, and holding him while they went by. One man had an axe, with which he forced the window open, and got in that way. They then proceeded to destroy the furniture, which was his (Ackrell's) property, incited by Itowbotham and another man not in custody, both of whom exclaimed, "Smash his furniture, I will be responsible." A wild some of riot followed, attracting a crowd of about 100 people. Partly in crow-examination by Rowbotham and partly in answer to Mr. Vaughan, Ackrell stated that the key of the house was brought to him at the station-house by the prisoner Rowbotham in October. Rowbotham asked him to take possession of the house, but he de clined to do so till he made inquiries as to the ownership. He inquired at Mr. Nicholson's office, and was informed that that gentleman claimed possession. A few days ago Mr. Nicholson asked him to take possession . He did so, and moved his goods in. Mr. Vaughan asked if it was usual for the police to take possession of houses in this way. Ackrell said it was, but they always made inquiries first ns to the right to possession on the part of the persons em ploying them. At the request of Rowbotham the prisoners were re manded to give time for the attendance of his solicitor, who, he said, would establish his title. Charles fi'indlturst, a publican, • all also remanded, charged with taking part in the disturbance. They were admitted to bail in two euretim each of 501., and their own recognisances of 1001. WORSHIP-STREET. Eliusbeth ,11'Donali,561,vra;;Intried with stealing a gold and diamond ring, value 481., and Arthur X'Donald, her husband, was subsequently charged with being con cerned in that stealing. A young woman, who represented herself an the wife of a tradesman in Watson-place, Kingsland-road, stated that the prisoners lodged in her house, that on the 25th inst., after returning from a walk with Mn. M'Donald, she went into that person's room, when she placed her purse on a table. Hearing a knock at the door she left to open it, and on re-entering missed the mane. Mrs. M'Donald was still there, but denied all knowledge of the article. Her husband came in at the same instant. To him she said something in a low tone, and subsequently he went down stairs. It instantly occurred to her mind that Mrs. 14'Donalil had taken the puree and given it to her husband, well knowing what it contained. Mr. Elliaon here asked—And what did it contain? Prosecutrix—A gold diamond ring, worth 481. Mr. Ellison—What is your husband? l'rosecutrix—A general dealer. I had not long taken the ring from my finger. Mr. Ellison—A general dealer. And are you in the habit of walking about with a ring of that value? Prosecu trix —Yes. (Several other rings of value, apparently little lea, might have been seen by the magistrate on the hands of witness). Mr. Ellison—H►ve you seen the ring since? Prosecutrix —I h►ve not. The loss so upset me that the doctor came. I afterwards found the purse without the ring in the kitchen lying on the door. I had not been downstairs. The male prisoner here cross-examined—Were you ever convicted? Prosecutrix—Me ? No. M'Donald—l can prove that you have been, and more than once. Were you ever in prison ? Prosecutrix—Me ? No. WDonald—Are you married to Gayton ? Proascutrix—Certainly. Dl'Donald—Ah, but you ain't. A medical gentleman came forward and stated that he found Mrs. Gaylen in a fearful state from excitement. The male prisoner was having words with his wife about some money that he had dropped and could not find, as be asserted, but which was considered a ruse. He wanted to leave the house. He (witness) objected. Mrs. Layton afterwards found the purse, but did not look in if. The male prisoner was then allowed to leave. Shortly after wards prosecutrix opened the purse, and discovered her loan. She boldly accused the female prisoner of having stolen it and given it to her husband. The male prisoner denied his guilt, and it is in bis favour that he asked the doctor to search him before he left the house, which, however, was declined, it not being any part of that gentleman's practice ; but it is not in his favour that Herbert Reeves, warder of the Coldbath-fields Prison, identified him as having been about a dozen times there for petty offences. Both prisoner stand remanded. THE CHARGE AGAINST A PARISH SURGEON. At a meeting of the Board of Guardian, of Bethnal-green yesterday, Mr. Collins in the chair, Dr. J. E. hlassingbani attended, pursuant to a resolution of the board, passed on Friday last, to the effect that he should be required either to agree to send a properly qualified assistant to all future cases which he might be unable to attend to personally, or else to send in his resignation. The chairman, addressing Dr. Massingham, said that the object of the board was to have • right understanding with respect to a statement of his (the doctor's) when be was before the board relative to the case of Mrs. Ferry, namely, that he could if he thought fit send his apprentice to attend cases. That expression of opinion had much in fluenced the board, and it was hoped that he had now ascertained that he possessed no power to do anything of the kind, and that he would retract what he had said. Dr. Massingham said that he learnt by the letter of the Poor-law Board that he was wrong in his opinion, and he therefore withdrew what he said. The chairman said be was very glad to find that Dr. Mai/Ingham had retracted his error, but he would im press upon him that the board would never sanction his sending his son to attend the patients. In ease of illness, and when he could not attend personally, he must send a properly-qualified medical man as his substitute. The board hoped he would attend to this regulation, and would give his best attention to the poor entrusted to his care. Dr. Massingham, who said he bad no remark to make, said that he was in error with regard to the point, but did not know it till he received the communication from the Poor law Board. Dr. Massingham then withdrew. Mr. Engle burtt moved that Dr. Lane, who had been discharging the duties of Dr. Massingham's district during the lenses suspension, should receive • week's notice that his services were no longer required, and that at the end of that period Dr. Massingham should resume his duties. This motion was carried, as was also a vote of thanks to Dr. Lane for the ready manner iu which he had under taken the duties of the district. Subsequently • deputa tion from a meeting held the previous evening, and con sisting of Mr. Furness, the foreman of the jury in the ease of Mrs. Ferry, and some twelve other ratepayers, waited on the bosrd, to urge them to press upon the Poor-law Board the expediency of reconsidering their decision in the case, and prevent the reinstatement of Dr. Ma/Bingham. They referred to various parts of the evidence in support of their opinion that Dr. Massingham was unfit to bold his office, and they stated that other cases of neglect on his part could be adduced. The chairman informed the deputation that Dr. Massingham had been already rein stated. The board of guardians had done all they could in the matter. The Poor-law Board had since gone care fully over it, and the guardians could not now reopen it. The complaint he might say was the first that bad been made against Dr. Masetogham to the board since he held his office. Mr. Hall said that the general feeling was that the guardians had acted very properly in the matter, but that they had not been properly supported by the Poor. law Board. It appeared the meeting had been held too Lae, and he had now oily to thank the guardians on the part of the meeting for what they had done in the matter. The deputation then withdrew. ADMISSION OF SOLICITORS.—The Master of the Rolls has appointed Thursday for the admission of solici tors. To-day, all documents necessary for such admission must be lodged. THE WAGES DISPUTE IN THE IRON TRADE.—The strike among the ironworkers, which up to Saturday night seemed imminent in the Wednesbury and West Bromwich district, has happily been averted, and • satis factory and amicable settlement of the wages dispute has been arrived at. At • meeting of the Wednesbury puddlers on Monday, it wee determined to allow work to be resumed at the reduced scale at the fol lowing places, viz., the Patent Shaft Works (with Messes. Lloyd, Foster and Co.'s), Messn. Repairs Imperial Works, and Messrs. Lloyd's, King ' s -hill. The puddler, at Mr. Marshall's, Monway Works, had previ ously come to an independent arrangement with their ern , ployers. Yesterday (Tuesday) a general meeting of the puddler* of the West Bromwich and Wednesbury district was held at the Camp-street Schoolroom at the latter place, and it was then unanimously decided, after • long discussion, to allow the men at twenty-one other works in the district, which were not affected by Monday's resolu tion, to commence work at the drop. Work will there fore be resumed (except at one of Messrs. Bagnall's works, where a breakage has occurred) throughout the district either to-day or to-morrow. THE SUPPLY OF WATER TO THE METROPOLIS, &c.—The Royal Commissioners appointed to inquire into the supply of water to the metrop olis , ho., have appointed Mr. Arthur Lennox, secretary.

COTTON GOODS.—MANCHESTER, JAN. 29.—The yi n market has been disappointing, and but little business he been done in shipping descriptions. This is a good ( IN due to spinners hiving asked higher prices. At the me of yesterday it is believed that buyers would hi s , operated largely, but any advance checks business, and the market for these yarns closes quietly. In home trade yarns prices have been firm, but there has been lee ha,. ness done to-day than during any of the precede ] , day. since Friday. At the low rates of Friday buyer, were supplying themselves rather freely, but the advse k required in most caws today has checked operatics. Buyers who have supplied themselves at low rates are is. disposed to give higher terms. In cloth there is no is: provement in prices since last Tuesday. During the ha few days a fair business has been done with sellers holdis, stocks, and who have been disposed to inset buyers freely, Some attempts to-day to get higher rates have checked operations. Neither goal nor yarns are quite so firm 4 the close as they were at the opening of the market. li t business mentioned in our repast of Friday's market having taken place in the lighter fabrics for India cm tinues on a fair scale, and the stocks of these goods hits been considerably lightened. It is in shirting', print ers. domestics, and heavy goods generally, in the maks of which a good deal of cotton is used, that the market is quietest. WOOLLEN.—Lr.Ans, JAW. 29.—The cloth markets this morning have varied little from the character of our recess reports. There has not been a Large attendance either of manufacturers or merchants in the Coloured Hall, sad the business transactions have been limited. A few mall parcels of plain cloths have changed hands, along with a limited number of fancy coatings and thin union meltom ; the demand for tweeds has not been extensive, bat u many of the manufacturers are engaged with orders for delivery direct, the demand for these gogds cannot be is. timated from the quantity which leaves the Cloth Hall. The attendance at the White Hall has also been restricted, and although, in some few instances, the inquiries for hairlists have been moderately well suat•ined, the business transactions as • whole have been below the average. Prices have been without alteration. MANITFACTURE3.— HUDDERSFIELD, J. 2g.— The buyers attending to-day have not been numerous, scarc e ly any of the large establishments either in London or the provinces being represented. Business transactions hare bum on a small scale, and limited to such descriptions ae are required for immediate wants. The local merchants have delivered some moderate-sized parcels donse the week. Some of the manufacturers in the neighbourhood are working to order, but many of them complain that orders do not come in so freely as usual at this season.

LEEDS, JAN. 29.—The same dulness which pervade! our market on Friday still continues, and saki d wheat can hardly be m a de at an y f a i r or ameable prict, bat as the retail sellers of flour have all but exhausted thee stocks, and are new merely buying for their daily want, our millers conaider an improved demand cannot hr distant, so factors are more disposed to wait that Awe than press sales unnecessarily to-day. Barley ales ..k; beans and other articles as before. Lnar, Jarr. 2 9 .—There was a moderate show of ahem at market to-day ; the condition was more or less affectol by the sudden breaking up of the frost ; the dried a.at plea maintained last Tuesday's rates, other deacrip . tasta met a dull We at le. to 2s. per qr. les money.

NZWCASTLE•ON-TYNE, JAN. 29.—At our market this morning we had a moderate show of wheat Nu the growers, but from the coast the arrivals are to a fair extent. Owing to the depressed reports from 31ar's.lue the trade opened very quietly and some time orcurrel before a transaction took place, when a reduction of 1.. per qr. being submitted to • few sales resulted in tee deeenptions, whilst rather more hal to be conceded to upon ordinary kinds; may now be deemed an extreme quotation for extra new south country bellow.
