TO THI YDITOR Of THE ZIPISIC4S. tits, —Owing to its appearance in your impression of Saturday last, extensive circulation has been given to a paragraph taken from the Law Toe- relating to the Inns of Court Volunteer Corps. The paragraph in question, after intimating that the corps was declining in strength and efficiency, concluded by stating that a new system of drill had been introduced since Colonel Brewster's death, and that nino officers and a proportionate number of privates had resigned. The number of officers holding commissions in our corps, exclusive of the field officers and staff, is 20 ; and the inference obviously intended to be drawn from the above statement is, that a secession of a large body of officers and men has taken place in conic. quenoe of the introduction by our present distinguished lieutenant-colonel of a new system of drill. The statement is utterly without foundation, and the inference involves a gross imputation upon the excellent spirit and good discipline which have always prevailed in the corps. As the senior officer present at headquarters I have caused the muster rolls of the corps to beciuunined, and I am in a position to state, officially, that since the esta blishment of the corps in 1859 the total number of officers who have resigned their commissions is eight, of whom only three (viz., two lieutenants and one ersigel have retired since Colonel Brewster's death ; that the r. tire meat of these three officers took place from causes wholly unconnected with any alteration in the system of drill, that the vacancies were immediately filled up, and that two of the throe are now serving in the ranks of the corps as privates. Judicial and other appointments, openings for a pro. feuional career as well in other parts of the kingdom as in India and the colonies, commissions in other corps — these and many similar canoes which do not affect other volunteer regiments, combine to withdraw many from our ranks; and undoubtedly we could wish that the junior members of the profession came forward in greater numbers to supply their places ; but the average lou of non-commissioned officers and privates from resignations has been no greater since, than it was before. Colonel Brewster's death ; and I can oonfidently state that no resignation has occurred in consequence of any alteration in the drill. The number of enrolled mem bers, as shown by the annual return for the Ist of Decem ber, Imid, made shortly after Colonel Brewster's death, and long before the appointment of our present command ing officer, was 787, and as shown by the annual return for the Ist December last, 7*id. The efficiency of a corps is to a consiOerableextent a matter of opinion ; but as to this we may safely rely on the well known impartiality of the Inspector-General of Volunteers, and the public and official judgment which he passed upon us at our inspection in November last, that "the corps presented the urne soldier-like appearance and the same smartness and intelligence of movement which had hitherto dame terised them, and that he was not surprised to find that they maintained their old reputation." I have good reason to know that this opinion was shared by other dis tinguished military officers on the ground. The very hest feeling precede between Colonel Sargent and the 1,-st of our battalion. At this season of the year the corps is *tattered, but every member that I have met has alike expressed his indignation at what appears to be an unjustifiable attack upon our commanding officer, and upon his managen.ent of the corps, which has always been charwctcriaed by great judiciousness and an earnest desire to consult the wishes of the members on all points connected with discipline and drill. Colonel Sargent's great military experience and his distinguished services in the Crimea, China, and elsewhere are well known to the public, but the writer of the paragraph in question is probably as ignorant of them as be undoubt edly is of the internal condition of our corps.—l am, &c., JOSEPH W. CHITTY, Captain, LC.E.V. Lincoln's-inn, January 1. - --- THE HEALTH OF LONDON. It appears from the return issued by authority of the Registrar-General, that in the week that ended on Saturday, December 'A the births registered in London and twelve other large towns of the United Kingdom were 3.993 ; the deaths registered, 3,071. The annual rate of mortality wax 26 per 1,000 persons living. In Lon don the births of 990 boys and 910 girls, in all 1,900 children, were registered is the week. In the corre sponding weeks of ten years 18M-63 the average number, corrected for increase of population, was 1,871. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,436. It was the fifty-ea:end week of the year ; and the average number of deaths for that week is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,554. The deaths in the pre sent return are less than the estimated number by 118. The daughter of a pen merchant, aged 16 years, died on 23rd December, at 3, Boar's Head-yard. Whitechapel, of cholera Asiatics (14 hours). Fourteen deaths front diarrhora were registered during the week. Small-pox proved fatal to 97 children and 8 adults ; it was not stated in the returns that in any case the patient had been vaccinated. In the sub-district of Christchurch, Marylebone, 5 deaths from small-pox we-e registered. The registrar of the sub district of St. Giles, south, remarks that " small-pox is very prevalent, and great inconvenience is felt from the want of proper accommodation for patients su ff ering from the disease." Twenty-five deaths from measles, 41 from scarlatina, 19 from diphtheria, 58 from whooping-cough, and 41 from typhus, were registered during the week. The influence of the temperature on the mortality from diseases of the respiratory organs is very great. In the week which ended October 13 the nman temperature of the air was 52.4 deg., and the deaths from bronchitis were 89 ; as the air became colder the deaths from bronchitis increased ; last week the mean temperature was 44.0 deg., and the deaths registered from bronchitis were 224. Eight deaths from burns or scalds were registered in the week; one of the unfortunate victims was a domestic servant, whose clothes took tire when distended by crino line. A child, seed one year, died on the 21st December in consequence of swallowing mistletoe berries. The annual rate of mortality last week was 24 per 1,000 in London, Zi in Edinburgh, sad 214 in Dublin ; 25 in Bristol, 26 in Birmingham. XI in liverpool, 30 in Man chester, 25 in Salford, 26 in Sheffield, 27 in Leeds, 23 in Hull, 37 in Neweaatle•upon-Tyne, rind 27 in Glasgow. The high rate of mortality which has prevailed during the past thirteen weeks in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, has been caused by au unusually fatal epidemic of scarlatina, from which 220 deaths have resulted in the past seven weeks, oat of • total of 601 deaths. LIABILITIES or RAILWAY DIRECTORS.—There la a provision in the new act on railway securities, under which loan capital martinis are to be filed during the pre sent month, that if a director or registered officer signs an Recount or statement, kr,owing the same to be false in any ;articular, he is to be deemed guilty of an offence, and to be liable to fine or iniprisonincut on an indictment, or on a summary conviction to a penalty of 101.

NEAT', 11.1%, ON PUBLIC AFFAIRS. The annual dinner of the Druids' Lodge, No, 69, took place last evening in the Town-hall, Oxford, under the presidency of Brother Writs. Mr. Cantwell, M.P., wh • geuerally attends these festivals, was unavoidably absent. Amongst the guests were Mr. Neste, M.P., the Worshipful the Mayor, Mr. Alderman Cana, Captain Fans, Captain Kellam, Mr. J. C. Dudley, Mr. Towle, he. The usual loyal toasts having been given and duly honoured, The CHAIRMAN proposed "The Army, Navy, and Volttnteen." 61;taiiiisus and Captain Mallam responded. The toast of " The Mayor and Corporation" having been responded to by the Maros, The CHAIRMAN proposed "The City Members—Mr. Cardwell and Mr. Neste." (Loud and repeated cheering.) Mr. NI.ATE, M.P., who on rising was loudly cheered, said in the course of his address there was a party which advocated manhood residential suffrage. Ile was not going to say whether he was prepared to vote for a measure of that description, but he might say, without committing himself too far in that direction, that if Mr. Gladstone would propose a measure of manhood suf frage, and Mr. Cardwell would support it, he would vote fur it. (Cheers.) It was well known that he differed in many points from Mr. Bright, but still he was proud to speak of that gentleman as his friend. He was not pre pared to carry out all Mr. Bright's principles or to assent to all his statements, but in all the meetings at which be had been present there had been a higher tone of morality, and those who had attended had felt themselves raised into a higher atmosphere of thought and feeling than that with which they were formerly conversant. (Hear, hear.) Although many had come away with a higher notion of their rights, many had come away with a higher notion of their duties. (Cheers.) There was a difference between discussion and intimidation ; there was a difference between meetings assembled for purposes of discussion and demonstration of numerical force. Against such I demonstrations, whether they were held in the country or in the metropolis, he entered his most decided protest. He should hope that the wisdom and good feeling of the leaders of the popular movement would prevent them from attempting any such thing. (Cries of "No, no.") He was sure the liberal party would not make themselves a party to any such demonstrations, and that they would support anygovernment that would put them down. He had reason to believe that such things would not be attempted, and that people would consider the great danger of bringing together in the largest city in the world any tu multuous assembly. lf, at the meeting of par liament, no other member should ask, he would ask the Home Secretary of the present government what course he was prepared to take, supposing such meet ings to be called, to protect the freedom of the House of Commons and the peace of the metropolis. (Hear, hear.) He hoped he had not said anything to show that he was not the advocate of popular rights. (Hear.) venting the attached slip at the studio of Mr. T. Carrick, 32, Regent-street, Piccadilly-circus. All tickets not re- turned before Jan. 31, 1867, will be reckoned as sold, and will be charged for, price one shilling each." The first part of the ticket is what is called the duplicate ticket, and the third part what is called the " society's ticket," and purports to entitle its owner, on presentation to Mr. Carrick, to six cartes de visite. When Mr. Elliott had read the ticket through, Mr. Wallis said that there was no such society aa the " South London New Church Building Fund," and there fore feeling that there was something suspicious in the matter, he had made up his mind to take his worship's opinion. The Chief Clerk here remarked that, in addition to there being no such society as the South London New Church Building Society, be could find no such place in the " Directory" as the " St. George's-hall, Gray's-inn road," and this threw additional suspicion on the affair. Mr. Elliott said that though the publication of the tickets might be intended aa a puff or advertisement for Mr. Carrick aa a photographer, it was his duty to owns forward and give some explanation of the matter. Ad dressing Mr. Wallis, he said he should keep the tickets for the present, and cause inquiry respecting them. FROM LAST NIGHTS GAZETTE.

THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL SOCIETY OP LONDON. The annual general meeting of this society was held yesterday afternoon at the Rooms, St. Martin's place, Charing-cross. Dr. J. HUNT, F.S.A., president of the society. was in the chair; and there was a pretty numerous attendance of fellows. The confirmation of the minutes of the last meeting WAS followed by the reading of the balance-sheet, and the report of the council. The accounts showed that the re ceipts of the past year had amounted to 1,51:W. Its. 10d., and the expenditure to 1,413/. 2s. 10d., leaving a balance of 1021. I:ki. The report stated the number of fellows on the books to be 706, of corresponding members 42, and of local secretaries in Great Britain 49. The council ex pressed their regret that many of these secretaries had ne glected to communicate with the society during last year, and recommended that rules should be framed for their guidance, and. the regulation of their eke thin to and retention of their offices. The number of local secretaries abroad had been increased to 57. The council had resolved upon the substitution of a director in pl.ce of the honorary and foreign honorary secretaries ; and they expressed their satisfaction that Dr. Hunt, the the founder of the society, whose administrative ability, keen foresight, and admirable tact and judgment they warmly acknowledged, had undertaken to discharge the dulled' of the new otfice, to which they recommended that as soon as the funds of the society would permit some honorarium should be attached. The exploration fund had amounted to 671. 28., and nearly all this had been ex pended in investigations in Caithness ' the Orkneys, the Belgian bone caves, and Dorsetahire. The council stated that, in order to enable the society to attain the objects for which it was established, it was necessary that the number of fellows should be largely increased ; and re minded the members that papers which which were to be read before the British Association at Dundee ought to be sent in at least a fortnight before the date of the Upon the motion of Dr. R. KING the report and accounts were adopted, and upon that of the Rev. D. HEATH, se conded by Mr. E. Vrt.ur , certain alterations in the rules which had been recommended by the council were unani mously agreed to. Thanks having been voted to the officers and council of the society for their services, The Piteamegr then delivered a farewell address. At its close thanks were, upon the motion of Mr. Hii.cins, seconded by Mr. W. H. Wrimar, voted to the chairman, and the address was ordered to be printed. The prooeedinp terminated with the election of officers for the ensuing year. In the evening a party of the fellows and their friends dined together at St. James's•hall. LIVERPOOL GYMNASIUM. The members of the ladies' classes and their friends of the fairer sex mustered in great numbers at this institution on Saturday, to witness the exercise■, which were to be followed by the fourth annual distribution of prizes. The interior of the building was tastefully de corated, and made to assume a more than usually festive air in honour of the event. The body of the large central hall was tilled by the lady members, while the spectators occupied all the room to be found in the galleries. Dr. Grinisdale was chairman, and in that capacity delivered the prizes. These were two elegantly-bound copies of Tennyeon's "Elaine," illustrated with photographic fac similes of Dore's designs, presented by Mr. S. R. Graves, M.P„ and Mr. J. Grant Morris, mayor. Another prize was a handsomely-bound copy of Rogers's poems, girt n by Mr. C. I'. Melly ; and there were a number of other equally valuable prizes provided by the gymnastarch. THE WEATHER IN THE NORTH.—The new year has come in with some severity in the north. A Shields correspondent, writing on Monday night, states that a lOW from the north-east bad prevailed on the Northum berland coast since midnight on Sunday. It had been accompanied by a heavy fall of snow, and the sea was extremely violent. A vessel coming from North Europe had experienced very heavy weather, especially on the Dogger Bank. A number of laden Scotch vessels put back to the Tyne for shelter on Monday, sonic with sails split and carried away, quarter-boards gone, &c. ; but no serious casualty had occurred down to the despatch of the last train last night. The British Queen steamship from Ham burg to Hartlepool, with emigrants for the United States of America, put into the Tyne for shelter. In Edinburgh the mild, almost springlike, weather which has prevailed for about a month, suddenly changed on Sunday . night shortly after 10 o'clock,when Is strong north west wind began to blow, and in the course of Monday morning it increased to a gale, bringing along with it heavy hail showers intermixed with snow. In the morning Arthur's Seat and the I'entlands, as well as the hills north of the Forth, wore a covering of white ; and throughout the whole of Monday hail and snow showers fell M inter vals. There was also a considerable degree of Inst. As an instance of the high temperature of the weather hitherto, it may be mentioned that in several quarters swedes in the fields have been increasing in size ; and the furze dotted over the east end of Arthur's Seat was last week blooming almost as fresh as in summer. Primroses have also appeared in bloom. At Melton, on Sunday eight, the " Green Christmas " and summer flowers fare way to a hard frost, the wind going round to N.N.E., front which quarter since 7.30 this morning a heavy snow storm has set in. The moors and welds have only been white over once before this season and that for a few hours only. At Melton to 3 p.m. quite 8 inches of snow has fallen, and reports from Kirby, Helmsley, and the moors speak of a - heavier downfall. The neighbourhood of Ecclesfield (says the Sheffield Independent) was on Sunday visited by a heavy storm of thunder and lightning, the peals of thunder being loud and startling, and the lightning extremely vivid. About half-past three the people of Sheffield-lane top were startled by a loud roll of thunder, instantly followed by a lightning flash and a crash as of falling buildings, and it was found that the corn mill of Messrs. W. and C. Mann had been struck, and greet damage done. The chimney on the east side of the mill was about 40 feet high, and had been struck near the top, scattering the stones and bricks in every direction , some being driven a distance of 40 yards. Above nine ards of the chimney is still standing, being riven down the centre. The chimney in its fall smashed through the roof, but fortunately the floor was strong enough to bear the weight, and the machinery escaped uninjured, with the exception of two pulley wheels connected with the pump. Closely adjoin ing the chimney was the boiler, protected by a roof sup ported by brick pillars on each aide. The roof is entirely destroyed, and only two of the pillars remain standing. Great alarm was created in the neighbourhood, but although many cottages immediately join the mill, and large stones were thrown dangerously near, fortunately no one was injured. We understand that the building is insured. We - (Dorset County Express) are much grati fied to learn that the Rev. C. W. Bingham received last Saturday two cheques of 200‘. each unsolicited from the Karl of Eldon-one for the Dorset County Hospital, and the other for the Small Bene fi ces Fund : his lordship has also given 1,0001. to the building fund of the Dorset County School, CsTer.u.

An ill-looking lad who gave the name of iam Clark, and described himself as being a baker out of employment, was charged before Mr. Alderman }lnnis with the com mission of the following impudent robbery. A gentleman named Hughes, residing at New Cross, Deptfori, deposed that as he was passing along Cheapside that morning, about 11 o'clock, be observed the prisoner deliberately walk into the lobby entrance of the shop of Mr. Brown, a hosier, No. 38, Cheapside, and on owning out again the witness noticed him endeavouring to con ceal • quantity of coloured pocket-handkerchiefs under his ooat. The witness 'wised the property with one hand, and with the other secured the pnsoner, and took him back into the prosecutor's shop, when it was found that the bundle consisted of seven handkerchiefs, and were now proved by Mr. Parsons, assistant to the prosecutor, to be of the value of Ha., and his employer's property. A constable was sent for, and the prisoner was given into custody. The prisoner now reiterated the statement he had made when he was raptured, namely, that a little boy took down the handkerchiefs and gave them to him. The first witness was recalled, and in reply to the alder man stated that there was no boy near the spot, and that the prisoner alone committed the robbery. Mr. Alderman Finals told the prisoner that it was well for him that be was not previously known to the police, es if so he would have dealt more severely with him. For this, offence he must go for 21 days' labour in the House of Correction at Holloway., Michael Epic, a wretched looking mass of rags and filth, was charged before Mr. Alderman Finnis, under the following circumstances. Mr. Henry Willlima, a City merchant, stated that on that morning be saw the prisoner wan&ring leisurely along Cheapside. He was not soliciting alms, but his ap pearance was calculated to excite the commiseration of the passers by. Mr. Williams added that his garments, espe cially his trousers, scarcely covered him, and his ap pearance altogether was disgustingly indecent, the dorsal extremities of his person being almost entirely exposed. In consequence he called a constable and gave the pri soner into custody. Partridge, the gaoler of the court, in reply to the alder man, stated that the prisoner was well known about the City from wandering about in the condition in which he now appeared. The trousers were not ragged from wear, but bad evidently been torn for the purpose of getting up the show of extreme destitution. The prisoner was covered with filth and vermin. Mr. Alderman Finnia remarked that the prisoner was evi dently a most disgraceful and disgusting character. He must be committed for seven days' hard labour in the House of Correction, where, at all events, he would get the good wasiing and scrubbing of which he stood so much in need. GUILDHALL. Thome* Pearce, described ea a waiter, of 41, High-street, Aldgate, was charged before Mr. Alderman Salomon" with committing a violent and brutal assault upon • cabman. Frederick Charles Coggin said he was a cab-driver, and lived at 5, Fountain-court, Minories. On Sunday evening he was in the Strand, about 11 o'clock, when the prisoner got into his cab with a young woman and told him to drive to Aldgrate Church. When they got through Temple-bar the female screamed, and he pulled up, whereupon she jumped out and ran away. The prisoner got out and said, " I shall give you a shilling," and putting something into his haled walked away towards St. Paul's. The coin he put into the complainant's hand turned out to be a halfpenny, se he drove after him, and at the corner of Farringdomstreet be got off his cab and asked him for the shilling. The prisoner denied that he was the man, words ensued, and a scuffle took place. The prisoner got him down on the ground, and while he held him there he kicked and beat bun. He was positive the prisoner was the man who hired his cab and gave him the halfpenny for • shilling. Mr. William George Afffick, • solicitor's clerk, mid that he was psrtirg with a friend at the corner of Farringdon street, and saw the cab pull up. The complainant got down off the cab. He spoke to the prisoner, and they then began tussling. He and his friend never interfered so long as they did not hurt one another, but they fell together, and then the prisoner held the cabman and struck him while he was down, and afterwards brutally kicked him. He then walled up to the prisoner, secured him, and said, " You cowardly ruffian, I shall detain you until the police come," and he did so. He knew nothing of either of the parties. The prisoner denied that he had been in the complain ant's cab, and thought it very hard that, while he was walking peaceably along, be should be molested and roughly handled by a cabman. Alderman Solomon said he bad only to deal with the assault, which war • very cowardly and brutal one. He should fine him 405., and order lUs. to be given to the cabman. The fine was paid. Richard liewrry, a coetermonger, residing at 3, Fea thers-court, Gray's-inn-road, was charged with stealing a piece of pork from the shop of Mr. Howland, a cheese monser. William Abbott, 479, said, about half-past nine o'clock the previous night he saw the prisoner at the corner of Carter.lane and Shoemaker-row, close to Mr. Howland's shop window. Suspecting something was wrong he watched,and saw the prisoner take the pork produced, and lace it under his coat. He went up to him and asked p him what he bad under his coat. He answered, " No thing, and if I have nobody saw me but you, and you need not take any notice . . . The prisoner mild he had been drinking or be would not have done it. Alderivan Salomon, sent him for seven days to Holloway, with hard labour. WESTMINSTER. William Pretty, a little boy, was charged with throwing • light into the letter-box of the post.office, New-street, Vincent-square. Mr. Arnold inquired the age of the juvenile offender, and being told seven years, said that a child of such tender years could scarcely be held amenable to the law. He would, however, bear the particulars of the case. Mr. Edward Veneer, inspector of letter-carriers, said that a letter produced, burnt at one end, was brought to the South-Western District-office, Buckingham-gate, from New-street, and on the circumstances connected with it being duly reported, it was deemed necess►ry to bring the matter before a magistrate. A shopman in the employment of Mr. Ibbotson, grocer, New-street,Vincent-square, said that at a quarter to three that afternoon he looked into the postal box and found the letters on fire, and also a huller match. He immediately extinguished the flame, and as a woman came in and said she had just before seen a boy throws lighted lucifer match into the box, awl pointed the defendant out, he went after him and detained him. The woman who had given the information was not present, but her address is known. . . Tt;ra'ssisitOribiiiPOoioldWCMan who has charge of the child, that his mother is dead and father away. On her undertaking to produce him on • future day the magistrate allowed ber to take him away.

Joke Fowles, 45, described on the eharge-sbeet ea au engineer, was placed at the bar before Mr. Woolryeh, charged with committing • Mural and cowardly assault on hui wife. The complainant, Mrs. Fowles, whose right eye was completely closed and much discoloured, said that they resided at 4, Oak•cottages, Spa•road, Bermondsey. On Saturday night, a little after twelve o'clock, her husband came home the worse for liquor, and commenced abusing her about the supper. She told him that he should have left the money to buy the things before he went out to get drunk. No sooner had she raid these words than he rushed upon her and knocked her down. While on the ground he kicked her, and as she was trying to get up he struck her in the face, rendering her nearly insensible. Her cries brought some neighbours to her sasistanas, when a constable wax called in, and her husband given into cus tody. Mr. Woolryelt caked her if he had ill-used her before. Witness replied that elm was sorry to say that he bad, but she declined to appear against him. As times he was so violent that she was afraid he would murder her. The prisoner said that was all false. She aggravated him, and struck him. On Saturday night when he came home there was no bread, and because he told her of it she abused him, and they had a bit of a scuffle, when she fell against the fender and hurt herself. The complainant informed his worship thathe had given her no money to get bread, and she only told him that when he knocked her down. Robert Hayes. police-constable, 263 M, said that he was on duty in the Spa-road • little before one on Sunday morning, when be beard screams of murder in Oak-cottages. He proceeded there, and in the front-room he perceived the complainant lying on the floor with her face deluged in blood. I%e prisoner was there, and the prosecutrix gave him into custody for wanking her. Mr. Woolrych told the prisoner be was • cowardly, brutal fellow, and sentenced him to two months' bard labour. LAMBETH. The Rev. Joseph Wallis, bf.A., incumbent of Stockwell chapel and secretary to the church-building fund of the diocese of Winchester. waited on Mr. Elliott to take his opinion respecting some printed tickets which appeared in general circulation, as the number of those be held in his hand ranged as high as 4,540. The rev, gentleman said the 20 tickets he held in his hand had been forwarded to him by the Rev. Mr, Edwards, incumbent of St. Philip, Lam beth, who got them from one of his congregation, who had them for sale. Mr. Wallis here handed to the magistrate a bundle of 20 formidable tickets, printed on rose-coloured paper, for his worship's perusal. The tickets are divided into three parte, and the centre, which is much the largest, is headed " South London New Church Building Fund," and proceeds :—" A distribution of prizes on the Art-Union principle in aid of the above fund will be made in St. George'ri-hall, Gray's-inn-road, as early in the new year as may be practicable. The com mittee have the pleasure to state that they have 1,000 prizes of the estimated valneof 40W., varying hom 3s. to 15 guineas." Here follows an alleged description of the prises ; After which the ticket proceed' to state, " The purchaser of this ticket, in addition to the chance of winning one of the above prizes, is entitled to six cartes de visits for fear shillings (the usual pries being Bs. 88.)," apes pre- SUSPECTED DEATH FROM POISON. Mr. Payne, the City coroner, held an investiga tion last evening at St. Bartholomew's Hospital touching the death of Mrs. Anne Edwards, aged 42 years, who ex pired under very strange circumstances. The dace .sed was the wife of James Edwards, and lived at No. 4, Printer street, Blackfriars. On Christmas-eve she complained of • pain under her heart. On the following Wednesday two doctors were called in to see her, and she was removed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where she died on Friday morning. Her husband said they lived very comfortably together. A short time before Christmas she had been making fancy paper chains to decorate the room, and it was thought by one of the witnesses (her sister) she might have inhaled some of the arsenic of the green paper. The papers were fastened together with gum, but the witness did not know whether she touched the paper with her tongue. She drank gin, and she told her sister that she had drank a glass of medicine that her husband gave her. Her husband got the medicine from Dr. Blenkarne, who stated that he had furnished it to the husband on his ap plication, and that there was nothing deleterious in it. Mr. John Moody, 19, Bennett's-hill, surgeon, said that in consequence of the husband of the deceased calling upon him he went and saw the deceased woman on Wed nesday evening at 9 o'clock. The husband said that she was suffering from a pain in the stomach. Witness naked the deceased how long she had been ill, and she said from the previous Sunday evening, and upon being asked whether she had taken anything that had disagreed with her, she said that she had taken some beer and that she did not feel well afterwards. She said that she had no desire for food, and that she had had no sleep, or very little sleep, for three nights. She perceived objects floating before her. She did not feel sick, but had a burn ing sensation in the stomach. She had a great de sire for drink, but a loathing of fluids, from the difficulty of swallowing them. An examination of her pulse showed that there was no fever. Her tongue was quite pale and moist. Witness ordered mustard poultices and calomel and opium pills. On the Thursday morning witness again saw her. She had got out of bed, and was seated on the floor. She looked anxious and excited. Witness persuaded her to get into the bed. She was then seized with a sort of convulsive fit, and witness told her husband to go for Dr. Blenkarne, as he understood that she bad been under his care. Witness informed that doctor of her state, and said that she seemed to have the syrup tome of hydrophobia, from her aversion to water. Witness got • cup of water, and showed it to her. It brought on a spasm, and it was then agreed to send her to the hospital, and she was sent there. Mr. John W. Henborough, heuse-surgeon at St. Bartho lomew's Hospital, said that the deceased was admitted into the hospital on Friday morning. Witness saw her in a cab when she arrived at the hospital. She was talking fast, and was incoherent. She *aid that she had • pain in the left side, and that she had been without food four days. Witness ordered remedies. She could not drink milk, as she was seized with convulsions when she tried to drink it. An examination of her chest showed signs of bronchitis. She died on Friday. Witness continued—A postmortem examination of the deceased's body showed that the lunge and windpipe were very much inflamed. The glands at the back of the tongue were enbargesl,andthe lining membrane of the oesophagus peeled off in shreds. The lining membmne of the stomach was in flamed. The small and large intestines were in the same state. The conclusion he came to was that she died from the effezta of some irritant poison. There were several poisons that would give the same symptoms before death. If the cue had been • case of hydrophobia, the lining membrane would not be en inflamed, and he should not have expected to find the symptoms he did. The death arose from poison. No quan tity of spirits would cause the appearances he mentioned. He had taken the stomach out for analysis, but there were some poisons which if they are taken five days before death cannot be discovered. James Edwards, the husband, of the deceased, said that he was • porter. His wife first complained of illness at four o'clock on Sunday afternoon. She said, " I have got a stitch in my side." She had drunk a bottle of gin in two days. Witness gave her tea several times. He also gave her gin and beer. When she took the first dose of medicine she vomited. She got worse after the second dose, and would not take any more. Witness could not account for her death in any way. The only thing he could think of was the arsenical poison in the fancy paper.—The inquiry was adjourned. SINGULAR CASE OF WINE STEALING.—A singular case of wholesale wine stealing by workmen came before the Meets Quarter Sessions on Monday. Three men, named James Foley,• bricklayer, Henry Nash, a carpenter, and Mark Cook, a labourer, were charged with stealing two bottles of wine from the cellar of Mr. Edward Merjori. banks at Busher-grove, near Watford. The facts of the case were these :—On the death of his uncle (Mr. Stuart Ilarjoribanks) in 1863, Mr. Marjoribanks came into pos -1 session of the Bushey-grove estate, and shortly after ' wards he determined on pulling down the old house and erecting a new one. The cellars only of the old house remained intact, and in order to secure the wine cellar • seal was put upon the door, which was afterwards bricked up. The new house was substantially completed in April last, when • fresh set of workmen were cal'ed in to execute the work required in the interior of the house. I About this time it was determined to put a new stone roof over the wine cellar, and for this purpose the old roof was ' removed. It was then observed that the cellar was full of wine, and, in feet, in the state in which it was left when it was sealed up. Some months later the gardener, who lived on the premises, observed thattbe wall of the wine cellar had been tampered with, a part of it having been removed and reset. He made • mark upon the mortar, and the next day discovered that the brickwork had been again removed. This was repeated on several occa sions, and at length the circumstance was reported to Mr. Marjorihanks, who sent down a police officer from Messrs. Coutte's bank, and obtained the services of another from the authorities of Scotland•yard. The two constables came down in plain clothes, and obtained employment on the premises, one as • labo urer, and the other as assistant to the gardener, and in these capacities kept • watch upon the workmen for several weeks, but without making any discoveries. Tired of this, they agreed to shut themselves up in • coal cellar, in which there was a small grating which commanded • view of that part of the wall of the wine cellar which had been tampered with, and in this cellar they hid themselves day after day, going in the morning before the workmen mune on the premises, and leaving after they had left at night. The constables abut themselves in by means of a padlock, which appeared to be secured on the outside, but which was really fastened within, by a nut screwed on to the staple of the padlock. The nut being unscrewed, and the staple pushed back, the door flew open. For several successive days the prisoners came, tried the door of the coal cellar, the locking of which had evidently excited their suspicions, and ales examined the wall of the wine cellar ; but they did nothing more. At length, on the 10th of October, all three of them came, looked cautiously about them, and then removed the brickwork of the wine cellar wall, after which Cook got through the aperture and handed out two bottles of wine to Nash, who carried them to the staircase, and gave them to some person who did not conic within the range of the constables' vision. The constables, Hanscome and Savage, then pushed out their bolt, and burst upon the astonished prisoners, whom they took into custody of era emit struggle. The cellar, on being examined, was found to be half empty, no leas than 449 bottles of wine having been stolen. Many empty bottles, and one unopened bottle of champagne, were found about the to which the workmen bad access. The prisoners were ound guilty, and Foley and Nash were sentenced to six months' imprisonment with bard labour, and Cook to four months' imprisonment with hard labour. FATA L GANZ OF STABBING. —On Saturday evening, at Coven, near Glasgow, an apprentice carpenter, named John Young, was fat ally stabbed by some person or persons at present unknown. The unfortunate man was found staggering about the streets in • state of intoxica tion. Bang taken to • neighbouring house be slept for • couple of hours, and on awaking complained of being sick, when he was conveyed to his lodgings. On his being put to bed it was discovered that he had sustained two wounds in the abdomen, from which the intestines protruded. He oould give no account of himself beyond the statement that he had met two men. one of whom struck him on the noes. After lingering on till Monday afternoon he died. The police have as yet discovered no due to the perpe trators of the outrage. [Advertisement.}--Hou.owAY's Pius, for Indi gestion, Stomach, apd Liver Complaints.

This being the last market-day in the year, there is no disposition to do much business. Prices are about the same as last week. There has been no improved inquiry for worsted yarns. Spinners continue engaged on old contracts, and are firm in their quotations. The miserable weather has kept many of the merchants out of the piece market, and as the present is the last market-day in the year, every one restricts trans actions within the narrowest limits. Prices are unchanged. WOOLLEN.—Luce, JAN. l.—Business has only been quiet in the cloth balls this morning ; the attendance of buyers has not been large, few from other towns have put in an appear me, and the transactions, although showing an improvement upon the few hut market days, have nevertheless been contracted. In the coloured-ball the demand has run upon light fabrics for the spring season, including tweeds and meltons in various shades. Blue greys have had the preference, of which some medium sized parcels have been sold. Plain cloths have not been in large request, though in some quarters the inquiries have been rather more numerous. Hairlists have changed hands to a moderate extent in the white market, and the demand for white mediums has been more I apparent. Prices rule firm. MANUFACTURES. Rumakansw, JAN. I.—The new year has opened with a flat market, few buyers from • distance being present. The local merchants are doing a little chiefly in spring goods to give a variety to their stocks, but in the general trade business transactions have been on a very limited scale. Some manufacturers are busy in new patterns for the spring trade, but many com plaan that orders do not come in freely. WOOLS.—II.ODDIRSFISLD, JAM I. There ham been but little doing in any descriptions of wools either to-day or during the week, but a good business is shortly ex pasted, and prices continue without change. COBN.—lict c, JAN. I.—At to-day's market a fair supply of Naglish wheat, which sells freely at fully last week's currency. Foreign more inquired after, but the high rates asked prevent much business. Barley, for malt ing, moves off more freely, at prices in favour of sellers; grinding sorts neglected. Beans and peas dull and rather lower to sell. Oats of fine quality support late rates, in ferior sorts rather cheaper. Arrivals for the week:— Wheat, 10,480; barley, 7,192; oats, 3,472 ; beans, 1,129; peas, 398 ; tares, 157 ; Indian oorn, 1,963 qrs. - - - IPSWICH, JaN. I.—There was a moderate supply of wheat here to-day, for which there was a brisk demand, at fully Is. to 2s. per qr. over last week's currencies. Barley comes in less quantity, and all (militias are la. per qr. dearer. Beans and peas firm. LAMM, JAN. I.—As WAS very generally expected, the advent of the new year is accompanied with an no. proved feeling in the wheat trade. Our supplies are again likely to be diverted from us, in consequence of French buyers having again made their appearance on our east coast markets, and a very large and active demand going on in the Baltic, from France and Belgium, which will considerably lessen our supplies in the spring ; with these circumstances combined, it is not surprising to find prices stiffen throughout all the English markets, and to-day holders require an advance upon last week's rates, and where sales are made hare no difficulty in obtaining one. Barley and other articles are without any %iteration worthy of note. SALISBURY, JAN. 1.-Our market this day was thinly attended and the supply of grain was short. There was a general improvement in the wheat trade at last market's prices. Flour unaltered in value. Choice samples of malting barley were scares, selling at an improvement of ls. to 2s. per qr.

Mr. Butt, the resident medical officer of Bt. Nacres workhouse, having resigned his office, the vestry, with whom the appointment rests, directed advertisements to be issued for candidates to fill the vacant office, at a salary of 1601., rising to 200/. • year, with vaccination fees, and board and lodging. A special meeting, of the vestry was held to receive applica tions from candidates, examine testimonials, &c., and to make a selection of two or three, from whom the vestry at its ordinary meeting were to elect one. Only one, however, of the candidates was considered up to the parochial standard, and fit to be sent to the vestry for election. It was then said, "We cannot send up oniy one to the vestry for re-election, for that would give them no choice ; and as to that one, he is thirty-tive years of age, and if he is a clever man wouldn't he have got on better by this time and been above taking a workhouse appointment' so we had better reject them all and advert's. , again, and next time we may have better luck." It was accordingly re solved to reject all the candidates and advertise again.
