THE REGISTRAH-GESEItiL has now for many years been telling us regularly every week how we die, and how this continual wearing out of the human frame is met and more than compensated by the gain of new lives over the deaths. The im portance which attaches to these returns in con nexion with the general subject of public health and well-being has led to the parallel inquiry as to how the Nation lives. While Dr. FARE furnished the vital statistics in his vast array of dry figures, irresistible in the logic they enforce, Mr. Stwow, the Medical Officer of the Privy Council, gives an account more practical and direct in its teaching as to the destroying causes which are at work, and at the same time points out the sources of im provement to be sought and made to counteract the many hurtful agencies that surround the workers in the great industrial hive. The RECISTRAR-GENERAL affords an infallible indizator of how the great human machine is performing its work of life, where the friction is too great and the strain too heavy ; the Medical Officer of Health examines wheel within wheel of the com plex organism, to discover the fault in the working. The Report now just presented ranges from the subject of infant mortality and vaccination, which is taken to be one of the best means of protecting the young growth of population, through the whole dietetic economy of the labouring classed j the inquiry being specially directed to the food and mode of living amongst the poorer classes, to • systematic investigation of the distribution of disease in different sections of the community, the circumstances by which that is regulated, and to the outbreak of epidemics, with the local administra tion of the laws that apply to public health, the economy of hospitals, and the disease peculiar to those establishment/J. For the last five years a continuous inquiry has been maintained in all these directions, but during last year a supplementary inquiry was begun by a staff of medical officers, under Mr. SIMON'S direc tion, " as to the sufficiency with which the primary " wants of the body are satisfied amongst the " poorest classes, and in one very important par " ticular—of food, somewhat extensively con " ducted." Additional interest is given to the Report from the inquiry having been made during the time when the distress of the cotton-spinning districts was at its height, and when subsistence was reduced to the lowest level short of actual starvation. Unhappily, however, if we consult the tables of the Recisraaa-GarmaaLthere are generally to be found some numbers to represent want of food as the cause of death ; but there is nothing here to remind us so directly of the pernicious in fluence which is acting perpetually, in degrees far short of the starvation point, to produce the germs and favour the growth of disease. Dr. E. SMITH, the Inspector who was engaged in the inquiry made respecting the condition of Cheshire and Lancashire operatives in 1862, in his Report gives the result of his investigations throughout the kingdom, during which he visited in England and Wales 553 households, in Scotland 29, and in Ireland 52. The Inspector appears to have chiefly examined the state of the agricul tural poor, the Report referring only to 123 cases of in-door occupations in towns, such as silk weavers, needlewomen, dressmakers and glove stitcher., stocking-weavers, shoemakers, tailors, and printers. Dr. Serra, from his observations in 1862, had assumed that the requisite amount of nutriment to protect against starvation diseases was for a woman about that contained in 21bs. of good bread, and for a man about a ninth part more. In scientific estimate the mean weekly need of an adult should be 28.600 grains of carbon and 1.330 of nitrogen, or so much of the former in the form of vegetable food, sugar, beer, &c., and of the latter as meat, fish, and milk. In the cases of in-door occupations mentioned the point of bare sufficiency was not nearly reached by the needlewomen and the silk-weavers, while the shoe- makers just exceeded the lowest standard of animal food, and the stocking-weavers came a little below it—both, however, having rather more than the indispensable amount of carbonaceous food. But now comes the worse part of the Re port, since it refers to a much wider field of in vestigation in the agricultural population. Of these more than a fifth were living upon less than the estimated quantity of carbona oeous food necessary for healthy existence, and a third on less than the quantity of animal food, while iu Berkshire, Oxfordshire, and Somer setshire the average of animal food was insufficient. Mr. Simon does not insist upon these being more than " samples," and founded upon a theoretical estimate. Still, as be acutely remarks, this estimate shows a perfect agreement with the actual consumption to which the poor under extreme dis tress had reduced their nourishment. Something is to be said for the feeding effect of pure country air, as might be proved in the fine condition of most of the Italian and Spanish peasantry. No doubt the agricultural population can exist better under deprivation of food than town-bred people working in close towns, but to this we observe the Report does not pay much attention. At any rate it is hard that the sous of the soil should be compelled to live on air in those very counties where the fattest oxen and the fattest farmers abound. It ie remarkable, indeed, that the agricul tural labourer partakes much lees of his employer's prosperity than the miner or the spinner ; the farmer has in his hands a greater power of con trolling wages, with little or no means of enlarging THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBEE 7, 1864. his operations—his fields remain gidbabe miniag proprietor is for ever gainkg lt tesh and the cotton manufacturer case y hiep, to any extent. It is thus the Mire subje Rut watchfulness on the part of the State that the agricultural population—which is in fact so largely the stock from which the country draws its soldiers, senors, and colonists, and we may say its beef and mutton—ahould be well fed, and in every respect well cared for. The Report shows that this is not the case now, though it leaves the solution of the problem bow to better their condition to the political economists, with the simple statement " that the masses will scarcely be healthy unless to " their very base they be at least moderately pros. 4C perons. - The scale of nourishment is found to vary widely throughout the agricultural population, which is attributed in great part to actual diffe rences in prosperity, but in part to the local habits of the people in diet. In some parts of England the food taken is 50 per cent. more nutritious than in others, being highest in North umberland, Warwick, and Suffolk, and lowest in Somerset, that is to say, of the counties observed. If the four divisions of the kingdom are compared as to their agricultural populations, England, according to the present investigation, is considerably the worst fed. This is attributed by Dr. Sxrrii to the fact that the labourer of this class in England gets only a quarter the quan tity of milk he does in Ireland and Scotland, and even in Wales there is more milk consumed by him than in England. In Ireland breadatuffs are more than half as much again as in England ; and Scotland, though it has the advantage of its abundant mutton, has leas breadstuff' than Ireland. So that Ireland should really have no excuse, if these deductions are sound, for any I want of prosperity. But prosperity is a large ex pression ; it means, we suspect, something more than the bulk of carbon and nitrogen consumed by a people. In Ireland, for example, Dr. SMITH says it is a "mere struggle to preserve health and " strength." The farming occupations are not sufficient, and other sources of general prosperity are needed to raise the rate of wages, which is often kept by the landlords very low in relation to the value of land this is said of the west es pecially. In these counties it was stated by the labourers with families that they would be content with fis. a week, a sum fully one-third below that of the Dorset or Somerset labourer. With fairer wages the whole of the agricultural population of the kingdom would improve beyond their miserable status of only just enough with nothing to spare. Their houses, which are generally mere thatched hovels, provided with every accommodation for fever, often, as Dr. SMITH says, "worse than " stables," would be made healthy dwelling-places, and their clothing and firing would be kept at a point equal to protect ing them from the many diseases that tend to weaken the body and destroy life. There then can be no question that the increase of their material comforts would develop mental vigour and intelligence, now dormant and blighted ; and it would unquestionably add to the wealth of the em ployers if they became an improved race. Farmers have yet to learn that public health means public wealth, of which they are as certain to partake as any class of the community. Amongst other canna besides those of food which are acting against the well-being of these lower strata of society, the Medical Officer of Public Health points to deferred payment of wages, and those disadvantageous allow ances of drink generallymade in lieu of money, which impoverish the body, and lead to habits of idle ness and vice. Mach of this improvement is in the hands of employers, and with them also rests the duty of aiding the labourer to improve his condition, by imparting information not only, as Mr. SINN says, "as to the fullest vital value for " his scanty spending' on food, but as to the full "economical meaning of the unwholesome and "degrading uncleanliness amid which he is now " often condemned to live and die, and the false thrift "there may often be in sending forth wife and " untaught children even to bread-winning labour." The agricultural labourer should be encouraged to feel the same healthy ambition to rise to some of the higher grades of life which makes the artisan strive to help himself, and the first step in this direction is to make him sensible of the desire of bettering his material condition. bt Coun. BALMORAL, Stn. 5. The Queen, accompanied by the Duke and Dukes of Saxe Coburg and Gotha, and Princes Louis, drove to Alt-na-Guithaaach on Saturday, when her Majesty and the royal party proceeded up the Loch Muieh to the Glansalt, returning in the evening by the Lynn of Muich to Birkhall. The Princess Helena and the Dachau of Saxe Coburg attended Divine service yeaterday.wt the Perish Church of Crathie. The Rev. Dr. Fowler officiated. The Duke of Cambridge and the Princess Mary of Cambridge arrived at Brussels from Hanover a few days since, and seou afterwards left for New Strelitz on a visit to the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of 3lecklenburg- Stolid& It is expected that their royal highnesses will return to Berlin. The Prince de Joinville arrived at Munich on the 31et ult., and left next day for Austria. The Count and Countess de Paris arrived at Cologne from England on Sunday, and continued their journey towards Schwerin next day. The Duke of Devonshire and Lady Louisa C►vendish arrived at Chatawortli. Derbyshire, a few days ago from Bolton Abbey, the Dobbs duke's seat in York shire.

This manifesto seems to have been called forth by an advertisement which appeared a few days pre viously, announcing a lecture in the Weelayout chapel of the town on " St. Patrick sad the Ancient Irish Church," in which it was mentioned that tickets for the lecture could be had from some of the shopkeepers, whose business for this offence is thus attempted to be interfered with. The advertisement produced such excitement in the town that it was deemed advisable the lecture should not take place, some of the protestant shopkeepers first getting their windows smashed for their temerity in publicly emaciating their names with it. Steamers now run daily from Havre to South ampton, and Littlehaaapton ; bi-woekly to Glasgow, Liver pool, and London ; and weekly to Hall. LAS' EST IWTELLIGENCE. fig• The faederland of Copenhagen publishes a lead ing article full of bitter recriminations against England. The conclusion arrived at is that the Prince of Wales has not given proof of much political tact, in coming to visit a people so cruelly deserted by England, and who have conceived an inextinguishable resentment against that power. The same journal foresees that under existing cir cumstances the Prinoe of Wales will be very coolly received by the Danish people, although they are well acquainted with the duties of hospitality, and accustomed to practise them. AMERICA. (1111)Tlell TZLIGIAIL ) NEW YORK, Auouirr NI E‘fratia. General Grant holds seven miles of the Weldon railroad, and the Confederates have withdrawn from his front. Grant's cavalry are operating on the Danville railroad. His losses on Friday and Sunday were 5,000 men. The report that Lee in person was advancing up the Shenandoah Valley has been repeated. Sheridan is in a strong defensive position on the Upper Potomac, with Early in his front. On Thursday a small Confederate force attempted to cross the Potomac, but were repulsed with heavy loss. General Forrest has made a raid into Memphis, but had retired with some plunder, pursued by the Fedora's. The Confederates have sunk the ste►mer Nash ville across the channel of Mobile Harbour, ren dering access to the city impossible until the Nash ville is removed. The rumour published in the New York Herald, that overtures either for peace or an armistice, had been made to the South by the administration, has been semi-officially denied. General Butler has arrived at Washington, and Banks is also expected. It is believed that a change in the Cabinet will shortly take place. Several prominent abolitionists have urged upon President Linooln and General Fremont to with draw their names as presidential candidates, and to call a convention to nominate a fresh repub lican candidate. General Fremont consented to withdraw if President Lincoln would do so also. Chicago despatches report that the nomination of General M'Clellan by the Convention is con sidered certain, and that of Pendleton, of Ohio, for Vice-President. The legal proceedings for Muller's extradition are progressing• THE MURDER OF MR. BRIGGS. EXANINATION OF lIIILLF.R AT NEW YORE. In order to render it imposaible for Muller to swipe, upon arrival at New York, a private circular wag placed in the hands of all New York pilots, and at Wed. wedgy evening, 24th ultimo, and as soon ma the Victoria was signalled, the detectives boarded her, and Muller was planed tinder arrest. Eight passengers, including Muller, were taken into the cabin, and Mr. Death pointed out the accused. When charged with the crime be denied all knowledge of it, and accounted for his possession of the munlered man's hat and watch, which were found in his baggage, by stating that he had bought them in London. Previous to the detectives boarding the Victoria,some excursionists cried out," How are you, Yeller' Throw the murderer overboard." The pri soner is a man 24 years old, and not prepossessing in ►ppear. ance ; height, 5 feet 6 inches; light hair, and mall grey eyes. He was poorly dreued. He was conducted to the bead quarters of the polioe, where his portrait was taken. The people were disappointed in his appearance. They ex pected to see a fierce-looking individual, instead of a poor, cowering-looking man, u he is, who seemed to be more dead than alive. Prisoner said he would like to have the benefit of legal advice, but was unable to pay. Prisoner was examined before the United States commissioner New. ton. He eat quietly, and evinced no interest in the pro ceedings. In answer to the court prisoner said he expected his sister from 139, Nassau-street, but he could not say if she war in court. Mr. Marbury then opened the case for the crown. He quoted the treaty, providing for the delivering up of par cans fleeing from justice in ooe country, when found in another charged with certain crimes, and demanded that tie prisoner Franz Muller, who was charged with mur dering Thomas Briggs, in the county of Middlesex, be ren dered up for trial, if the evidence adduced warranted his commitment for trial on the charge of murder. Mr. Mar bary then briefly narrated the story of the murder, and proposed to read the depositions of the witnesses examined in England. . . . IV:Shaer, who defended the prisoner, objected to the admissibility of those papers, unleu the sitcom's were all present to be croes-examined. Alter a long discussion, Mr. Sfarbury read the depositions upon which the war rant of arrest was based, and called witnesses to prove the authenticity of the documents. Inspectors Tanner and Karresey were then sworn, and recapitulated the evidence they adduced in London. Robert Death was next sworn, and after recapitulating the evidence adduced in London, went on to say that-1 have not the least doubt as to the identity of the prisoner. When I saw him yesterday oa board the Victoria I was re quested to wait till I was called in the cabin where the prisoner stood, with a number of other persons. I looked at all those present ; there were eight or nine, all strangers. After looking at them all deliberately, I told inspectors Tanner and Kerimemey that the second man was the man. • Io croft-examination Mr. Death said—l identified pri soner by his light sod general announce*. I have not been able to speak as to whether be had whiskers or riot, but he bad no moustache or beard. (The prisoner then stood up.) I should say prisoner is Whir under middle size, and not a thickset but rather a slightest man. The (unwed called attentive to the depositions, which stated that a Lifland thin and a thickset man sat beside Mr. V:ineal went on to say—When I bearded the Victoria I knew I was going to identify the mao. The description of the ra!n was given by !nye& and brother. J. Matthew; was sworn, and said—Muller's hat fitted his head in an ordinary way, but a little too easy. Detective Tremnann deposed that prisoner had told him he bad had the hat about a year, and that he had had the watch two years. This was the cue for the crown, when the court ad journed till next day, the 27th ult., when the City of Bal timore, which brings this Dews, left New York. It is supposed that Inspector Tanner left New York with the prima& oe the 6th, and will arrive in England about the 15th.

The sittings of the above congress have closed with a sermon by the Jesuit priest Father Feli. sad a banquet. At the latter the first toast wu to the Pope, who wee called by Baron de Gerlach " the Great Father of Christianity." One of the speakers, M. de Kerehove, said, " We are the sons of Jena Christ, and we will never retreat before the sons of Voltaire." Another speaker said, " Let us close our ranks, fire upon the enemy, and adverse..." The subsection of the press at the congress has decided that a congress of the catholic press shall assemble every year from the 15th August to the let October. The first meeting is to take place next year at Brussels. The following story is going the round of Paris:— A small German baron had occasion, as it seems, to see Baron Rothschild, of Frankfort. The peat financier was writing away for very life when Baron X. was announced. He did not even lift his eyes, but said, " Take • chair, air." The baron, with true German touchiness about titles, said, "Sir, indeed ! I think M. le Baron did not hear my name. I am • baron also—the Baron X." " a thousand pardons," said the banker, still writing ; "you are • baron—take two chain, then, if you will be so kind, and wait till I have finished this letter." St. Petersburg is occupied in diecuseing the de tails of a fatal duel which has just taken place between two officers of the Guards. It would appear that a young captain of the cavalry, who had succeeded in amusing some property by hie ability in training the horses of the grand dukes and other persons, was recently nominated adjutant to the Emperor. This appointment excited the envy of his colleagues, who looked upon him, not as an officer, but as a hone-jockey, and he was challenged to fight by a colonel, the geoids' opinion of the officers being that he would not meet his challenger, but would retire from the »nice. The captain, however, chose to fight, and the duel took place in the presence of twenty-three officers of the Guard. It is stated that the arrangement was that the opponents should coun► one, two, three, and fire during the counting. The colonel fired at the word two, and his ball went through the forehead of the captain before be had discharged his weapon. He was buried on the 31st ult. A strict investi gation will be made in the matter by imperial orders. A letter from Alexandria describes the steps which have been taken by the Egyptian government for the prevention of the slave-trading expeditious on the White Nile. By the latest intelligeooe from the Soudan it appears that the results of those 1110111112 rel have proved far more satisfactory than had bees anticipated. All the beets returning from the White River expeditions have been In tercepted, their cargoes and equipments seised, and pro ceedings taken against the owners, whatever nation they may belong to. It is asserted that slaves have been found in almost every boat, thus rendering the ivory and every other species of merchandise on board liable to confis cation. The Russian fleet has just been strengthened by the addition of a magnificent iron-clad frigate, celled the Sevastopol, which was launched in the Croostadt docks on the 24th ult. The Sevaatopol is stated to be one of the largest and most formidable of armed vessels yet constructed in Europe. She nearly equal' the Black Prince and Warrior in her dimensions, and far exceeds those of the Claire and Normandie. At her line of flotation she measures 300 feet in length, and her greatest breadth is 52ft. Sin. When ready for sea she will draw 26ft. at the poop and 24 at the chains. Her plates axe Olio. thick, fastened to a double coating of teak from 6to 9 inches thick. tier engines will have a nominal force of 800 bone-power, and ohs will be armed with steel guns of the greatest calibre. The Prince de Montenegro has broken his shoulder-bone by a fall from his horse, and his state is not without causing uneasiness. The young prince, as is well known, has no anoceamor appointed. The abolition of the convents in Poland seems now to have been resolved upon by the Russian govern moot, and the rich funds of the iostitutions are to be de voted to the promotion of education. The convents are to be turned into seminaries and schools, and provision is to be made for the pay of teachers and for the extension and im. provemeat of the educational institutions already existing. A Stuttgardt journal announces that the Countess William of Wurtemberg, nee Princess of Monaco, has been bitten by a mad dog at her husband's diatom of Licht's. stein. Valencia, on the coast of Kerry, has just been the scene of an interesting ceremony, the laying of the foundation•stone of a lifeboat•houie.

PARIS. TUTSDAY EVIIIIMO. It seems to be the general opinion that the Em peror's health is in a very unsatisfactory state. There can be no doubt that his Majesty was suffer ing the day he went in a carriage to see Marshal M'Mahon carrying some entrenched works. Bat according to the Patric the Empress must also be indisposed, for that paper states this evening that her Majesty sets out to-day for Schwalbach, Nassau, to drink the waters. The camp at Chalons has been broken up to day, and five regiments of infantry have already reached Paris. It is probable that. the Duke of Magenta will waste as little time as poesible before leaving for Algeria, and as there is to be a cabinet council at St. Cloud to-morrow morning, at half-past 9, the course of conduct which he is to pursue will perhaps be defi nitively arranged. The marshal will have to apply a new organisation, and, at the same time, under take a campaign which will be difficult, as are all campaigns fought in ill-cultivated countries against a normal population. It is very aura that colonists will not flock to a country which undergoes periodi cal revolts, nor can they bear military rule, and yet it is found in Algeria that directly the French forces retire from any part of the country where the Arab population exceeds that of the colonists, troubles commence. The military is now the superior autho rity all through the colony, and as this authority is disliked by the colonists, the Arab insurrections may be sagacious efforts to render that intolerable yoke a necessity. The semi-official Pays thinks that the visit of the Prince of Wales to Denmark must have some poli tical influence. Its effect will most likely be to mo dify the propositions, or rather demands of the two German Powers. M. DE PERSIONT'S SPEECH. —The Lodependance Beige says :—" The approbation given to M. de Persigny's speech by the Constitutionnd has produoed a most unplea sant impression in Paris. The attitude of the semi-official journal in this matter is the less comprehensible, inasmuch as M. de Persigny, according to the information sent us, far from having been the echo in his speech of distin guished views, was within an ace, on the contrary, of being requested to display more circumspection and moderation.” An infant daughter of Baron Raille, son-in-law of the Dachau de Dalmatie, ham just died eider melancholy circumstances, having been suffocated while carried in the arms of her nurse, covered over with a mantle.
