STATISTICAL SOCIETY.—The second ordinary meeting of the present region wanheld on Tuesday last, the 16th inst. Dr. Farr, F.R.S., Vice-President, in the chair. The following gentlemen were elected fellows, viz. : W. F. Purdy, J. D. Farrell, W. C. Bryant, J. Harrison, C. J. Wallis, 8. W. Burton, W. Robinson, F. B. Treatt, and C. R. Wilson. Dr. R. J. Mann read a paper entitled "Statistical Notes regarding the Colony of Natal." A paper was also read by Mr. D. H. Fielder, "On the rise, progress, and future prospect of Tea Cultivation in British India." ELECTION OF MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH FOR ST. I'neense.—Yesterday, at a meeting of the vestry of St. Pancras, a ballot took place from the three names previously selected for the elation of a medical offieer of health and examiner of gas, in the place of the late J2r. Hillier, when the number of votes received for eadh of the candidates was declared to be—Mr. J. T. Dickson, 2; Mr. W. J. Smith, 42; and Dr. Stevenson, 46. De. Stevenson, who was accordingly declared duly elected, is Lecturer on Experimental Philosophy, &a, at Guy's Hospital, and Examiner in Forensic Medicine in the Univeraity of Loudon. THE NEw LORD ODAMIELLOIL correspon dent of the Leeds Mulvey states that Lard Hatherley her for many yearn laboured as a Sunday-school teacher, iu which cal acity he was tho colleague for twenty years of a man whom Leeds was proud to return as its repre reututive to parliament—the late Robert Hall. Here •• is a man, with the make and materials of a Chancellor, who has been giving hie personal services to working men. by inst., ucliug their children and grandchildren Sunday after Sunday for the past thirty years, until his hair is whitened with age and hard drudging labour. In his attendance at the school his punctuality . is so unerring that upon Pleating it he serves as an um:ruble time piece, both teacher and scholar knowing well that if they are able to reach the door with or before him they are perfectly safe. Should • medal ever be awarded for puuctuality in voluntary service the Lord Chancellor could fairly claim it, for he has never been known to be behind time. Just two words more to say that Westminster finds in the Lord Chancellor a most liberal supporter of its schools and hospitals, and, among its churches, more than one owe their existence to his counsel and to his munificence. If at any time there should be . projected an a Early Ruing Association,' the founders might almost reckon upon Lord Hatherley as president, for our venerable abbey (which is close to his residence) witnesses his daily entrance at an hour when a third of the metropolis is in a position of recumbency." NATIONALITY IN VOICEB.—At the ordinary meeting of the Anthropological Society of London, held on the 15th December, Dr. James that, Provident, in the chair, Sir Duncan Gibb, Bart.,_Viee-President, read • paper " On the Character of the Voice in the Nations of Ana and Africa, contrasted with that in the Nations of Europe," of which the following is an abstract :—The 'ab ject was quite new, and difficulttohandlefromthe compara tively few facts bearing upon it ; the author" however, trusted to these and to his general experience in its eluci dation. The voice of the Chinese and Japanese was of low power, feeble compass, and whining in its tone, pos sessing at times a sort of metallic twang. Among the natives of Tartary, Thant, and Mongolia, the voice was stronger, louder, more powerful, yet still partakin of the stall twang ; the female voice was not inferior . in power to that of the male sex ; the metallic and deafening tones of the voice in those peoples were well-mastea and distinctive peculiarity. In India and Birmah, the voice was generally soft and very feminine, not so power ful as shrill ; the natives of the hills had • more robust voice than those in the plains, the former p oettififf somewhat metallic twang, and the latter, aplaintive and whining tone. In Africa, the ••, was taken as the type, whore larynx was of intmmeffis proportinesbetween the Chinese and Tartan, but differed from all other races of mankind in certain peculiarities, which the author de scribed. The negro wanted vocal power in whatever part of the world he was placed, but possessed the elements of a bellowing or roaring voice—a deafening noisy sound, without harmony or distinctness. In speaking, the voice was smooth and harmonious, or rough and husky. Con sidered generally, the various nations of Europe possessed strong, powerful, sonorous, and clear voices ; variations as to character and tone might and did exist, but, as a rule, they all agreed in porter, full compass, range, clear ness, and loudness of sound. The German had the most powerful voice in Europe, for reasons which the author gave; but in strength of voice he must yield to the Tar tar, who, without exception, has the most powerful voice in the world. The condition of the larynx, with length of the vocal chortle, and other circumstances bearing on the subject in the various nations of the three groat conti nents, were considered,, and the reasons given for the general conclusions arrived at. The following gentlemen took part in the discussion :—Mr. L. Owen Pike, Dr. Carter Blake, Dr. Reim, Mr. Maokenne, Dr. Charnock, Mr. Allan, Rev. Dunbar Heath. Dr. Campbell, Dr. King. ELECTION PETlTlONP.—Yeeterdlly tho number of election petitions filed at the Common Pleas was 59, of which 58 relate to boroughs, Including cities. The list for counties will be made out by the end of the month. Since the notion in this journal do Monday, four additional peti- Sons have been lodged.

Moms issrzsz's Ainsal.) THE RELATIONS BETWEEN TURKEY AND GREECE. BERLIN, Dec. 16, EVIONINIL The semi-official Provincial Corrapondencs says: " It is somewhat surprising that when the insur rection in Crete is almost stamped out, the Porte should address an ultimatum to Greece. This ultimatum allowed until the 17th inst. for Greece to reply. The Great Powers have hastened to pre vent an outbreak of hostilities, and Prussia, who neither exerciees any right of control over Greece r claims any special right of protection over Turkey, has nevertheless spontaneously joined the efforts to preserve peace, and in a specially earnest manner, which has bees ac knowledged with satisfaction by the protecting Powers, has endeavoured to cause Greece td com ply with the demands of Turkey so far as they are founded on international law. It may be ex pe cted with certainty that the warnings of the !lowers will be listened to both at Athens and Constanti nople." PARA Deo. 16, Bnisnee. The lfemiteur du Sae, in its bulletin, says:— " The Mime= cabinet. show in their viol,. m ewling Greece the same harmony as preisiled @song them with regard to Roumania. All the great powers which signed the treaty of 1866 re commend Greece to respect international law, and are making every effort tobrmg about the triumph of ideas of moderation and wisdom both at Athens and Constantinople. This harmony, so happily agreed upon by the great powers, is a valuable guarantee for the maintenance of peace, and we may hope that the germs of the difficulty will be stifled at the outset.'

Last night the =mud soiree of tho members and friends of this society, of which Mr. 8. Morley, M.P., is president, took pima at the Freemasons' Tavern, Groat Queen-street. Prior to the public meeting, tea, coffee, and refreshments were served in the great hall. Mr. B. Witirwourn, M.P., presided at the meeting; and amongst those precast were the Venerable Arebdeacon Sand ford, Bev. 8. WAR (Principal of Hackney College), Rev. D. Burns, M.A., ftev. G. M. Murphy, Dr. &add, do. The objects contemplated by this society may be briefly stated. They desire to form new Bends of Rope, said assist, as far ea means will allow, such as are at pre sent in existence; to employ authors of acknowledged talent In the production of works adapted to the present state of the movement ; to circulate sword publications on the linked ; to employ agents qualified to interest the young, and to organise, on aright bale, local Bands of Hope. From • statement which was read by the Rev. G. W. M'Cree, secretary, it appears that the progress of the movement during the peat year has been gratifying and full of promise. There has been an evident desire on the Fart of ministers of all denominations, schoolmasters, superintendents, and teachers in Sunday-schools, and every other class of Christians, to afford increasine support, both pecuniary and moral, to the society. It dust be admitted, however, that th ere is still urgent need for greater real and liberality, in order that the movement may surmount de obstacles which retard its consummation. The committee, therefore, urge the importance of an im mediate and large increase of the funds placed at their disposal. Every day shows them new spheres of labo ur , which they might, and would, at once occupy, if the ne cessary funds (for agents, deputations, conferences, and publications) were placed 111 their bands. Were the income of the Union doubled, it would not exceed the present de mands upon the committee for the occupancy of fresh spheres of exertion and the adoption of accessible modes of extending the movement throughout the country. Applications for sermons, addresser, con ferences, and aid of other kinds, are incessantly coming from every Fart of the metropolis and the provinces, and it is only in consequence of the small income of the Union that the committee are prevented from doing what they desire, and their friends and fellow labourers recommend. • band of juvenile collectors, assisted by older friends, has been organised, and during the year they have ob tained the sum of 1101. 11s. &I. The number of publica tions sold during the last year has been 42,961 pledge cards, 31,899 melody books, 3,750 recitations, 1,086 tune books, besides a large number of tracts, tickets, certifi cates, dc. The income for the year has amounted to 1,2331. Ile. 4d., while th e expenditure has been 1,2321. Os. bd. In conclusion the committee express unabated confidence in the scientific truth, exalted lhumanity, and religious sanctions of their principles, and their ultimate diffusion and victory. After the read in g of the report, several friends of the Union delivered adsresses in aid of its objects. During the evening a choir, composed of members of the Red Lion-square Blind Choral Clam, sang a selection of pieces under the direction of Mr. G. T. Pyne, Mr. H. Chapman presiding at the pianoforte. The proceedings appeared to afford great gratification and in terest to a large and attentive audience. THE ItEPOIX LEAGUE. Last night a meeting of the council of the Reform League was held at the offices, Adelphi-terrace ; Mr. E. 8141/11 in the chair. The Catumus, in opening the proceediugs, said the finance committee had not quite finished their investiga tion of the accounts, which were accordingly held over till the next meeting of the council. He repeated that those accounts could bear the utmost possible scrutiny, and there was not the slightest ground whatever for certain insinuations that had been very ungracieualy thrown out in certain quarters as to mysterious funds being used by the League. Everything erases clear ILS day, as it always had been. (Hear, hear.) In the course of the week an unjustifiable attack had been made on them by a journal professing to be friendly to them, with regard to the proposed banquet to Mr. Iteverdy Johnson. Ho begged to say that that attack was wholly un founded. The League had nothing whatever to do with the invitation given to the American minister. (Hear, hear.) They were never consulted about it; in fact, they never interfered in the matter at all, until those who had given him an invitation asked per miision to use that room, that they might arrange their further proceedings, and requested that • deputation from the League, U. with others, representing the feel ings and opinions of working men of metropolis, would meet them at a conference, to be held for that purpose. A deputation from the League met them, and felt it their duty to state what was their entire conviction, namely, that they thought there was some difficulty in the matter, and that they were not convinced that the proposed ban quet would have the cordial support of the working men of London, their impression being that the working men preferred some other mode of renewing, their expression of deep sympathy for their American brethren— those expresilens of sympathy to which they M so warmly and opportunely given utterance, in contradiction to other classes in thi country, at the time of the civil war. (Cheers.) If, in consequence of the expremien of that opinion on the part of the depute tion, those who had originated the banquet thought it advisable to give up the idea of carrying it out, the shame, if there be any, did not rest with the Reform League. (Hear, hear.) There was ono point upon which there could be no difference of opinion whatever, and that was in their cordially concurring with the sentiments so .Ire=, so abl, and so expressed by Mr. if Y for the s y warml peedy and settlement of all questions in dispute between Great Britain and America. (Applause.) The President then called attention to A petition to her Majesty praying for the release of the Fenian convicts. Its concluding pages ran thus :—" That after the late terrible civil war iu America. in which so many lives were sacrificed, the United States government did not resort to the principle of severe and now almost obsolete punish ments on those who had been the cease of so much national disaster, but, on the by the exercise of clemency, to induce i ce o, to the laws and constitution ; may it therefore please your Most Gracious Majesty to exercise your royal prerogative of mercy during this holy Christmas season, by • to their sorrownig relatives the political prisoners ssauL your petitioners shall, as in duty bound, ever pray." Mr. Beales, and most of those present, signed the petition. The meeting shortly after adjourned.

It was always the boast of the deceased and his servants that hie house was maintained by a sum that was wasted by most people, and his pereoual domestic expense was little over 2001. a year at the period of his greatest affluence. This characteristic may be taken as one of the secrete of his attaining his immense wealth; but having acquired each vast means be gave liberally, and hie generosity may be said to have been LobouMe& lie was a contributor to every worthy object in his own town, and many powerful organisations in the centres of industry have been assisted in a substantial way by him. 111. chief objects of assistance were churches. sciiools, and societies for disseminating Christian truth. There is not a church in the town to which he has not leen a largo con tributor, and he used to consider the sacred edifices particularly under his charge, and that it was hie duty to supply any delimency found within them. The deceased was never married, and although he was one of ten children he has not a blood relition left. By his will be has bequeathed his large fortune to charitable objects and personal friends. Throughout his life his habiti were scrupulously exact, and when an active perkier in the manufactenog concern he was never absent from the mill at six o'clock in the morning, and whilst be sets able to walk about he did so before Weakling.

THE LATE SHOCKING OCCURRENCE ON THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY. An inquest was held on Tuesday, at the Suites County Hospital, Brighton . on the body of Frank French. the under guard of the train to which the shocking acci dent reported a day or two ago occurred. After having been sworn, the coroner and jury pro ceeded to the accident ward, where the injured man, Harris, the principal guard, was lying. His deposition was taken by his bedside, and wheu the coroner returned to the board-room, where the general inquest was held, it was read over as follows:—John Herds, on his oath, saith-1 am a kuard in the service of the London. Brighton. and South Coast Railway Company. About three o'clock on Sunday morning last 1 was at the Three Bri4es station with Frank Fan* the decivod, who was my under guard. He was coupling some trucks on a siding. 1 heard a leakage. 1 wear to set what it was, and got into the truck. I think it was an iron box truck. 1 had my lamp with me. Directly I got into the truck there was an expiation, which reedered me insensible. N% hen I came to I found I was in dames. I did not see French then ; he was a little further from the truck whin the exp:osion happened. I did not know at all what was in the trick, or what the barrel- , con tained. I taw " Newhaven" chalked on the truck. I did rot smell any smell till I had opened the d 00... Di teetly aftt r 1 opened the door I smut the oil. Our train came tram Hoe ham, aud was hound for Tuubridgo is ells. John l'hileex sworn—l am au engine driver in the ser vice of the railway company. 1 was in charge of the goods ttain from Horshum to 'i'unblidge Wells on si.anday morning last. We arrived at Three badges station (wit nets referred to his time book) at one o'clock exactly. We commenced shunting our train for Tunbridge Wells .it 2.30, with Frank French and Harris, the guards, and Coliwelh the pointsnian. I was within five trucks of where the explosion occurred. Alfred Collwell sworn—l am a shunter in the employ of the railway company. I was within about 60 yards of the explosion. There was an explosion. I afterwards saw French in flames, and helped to extinguish them. The Coroner said the cause of death seemed self evident, but he thought an important point might wire for the consideration of the j ury ; namely, whether proper precautions bad been taken in the carriage of an areele of this description. Mr. Brewer said these goods were consigned to the care of the Brighton Company by the London and North Western Company, who had had them conaigned to their care as reined middle," which was not considered dangerous under the regulations of this and other companies. The Coroner asked if there was anyone who oould tell them what is understood in the trade by " refined naphtha" Mr. Hawkins said that railway companies had not con sidered this naphtha an explosive article. It is now being carried to a large extent all over the country as oil, and d • all the years that naphtha had been so carried he never knew an explosion occur from the vapour it gave off. _ _ The Coroner—One of two things. If naphtha will not explode, then this was not naphthr. Then, t not naphtha, we want to know who sent it as naphtha, and what it really was. Eventually the inquest was adjourned till next 'Monday. on the understanding that evidence is to be called from the senders, and irons the North Western Railway.
