N A•4NocIATI..N.— A general meet. deg of the member. of this emaciation was ht !I last evening at the Sussex Hotel, liouverie-street, Fleet-street, Mr. G. Potter in the chair. Mr. Troop, the tra..surer, reported that at present there was no probability of a termination to the strike of the northern ironworker+. The support which the trade. of the metropolis had been „iving to the men bud materially fallen off since the al: it.(.:.stration of the 3rd December, aid owing to the distr. es which pre veiled in the eastern districts of London it had been found useless to convene meetings there on the eubject of the strike. His opinion was that strikes and locks- •at amongst the ironworkers were useless, and that the oily remedy now left for the working men was to become cap talista them selves, on the limited liability principle. Unfortunately the working urea did not stand by each other with suffi cient firmness to enable them to carry on these contests, and it had been found impossible for them to coutend successfully with great capitalists. Mr. Brookes, in the course of some observations, considered the advice in favour of the strike given to the ironworkers to have been exceedingly impolitic, and looking at the present state of trade and the price of pro visions, it would, in his opinion, be suicidal on the part of the men to adhere to their determination to remain on strike. Mr. Viridian moved the following resolution—" That in the canting circumstances of the iron trade, not only in the north of England, but in Stafforilehimit is desirable that the existing efforts in behalf of the ironworker he continued." Mr. Squire seconded the resolution, which was carried, there being three dissentients. The following resolution was then put and carried unanimously—" That the thanks of this association be given to Mr. Ernest Jones for his eloquent vinilization of democracy in the recent controversy with Professor Blackie at Edinburgh." With reganl to the proposed demonstration by the Reform league on the Alonaley following the opening of partia 1, ^tit, Mr. Brookes cautioned the association against actin; in conpuiction with the league in their proceedinp. He raid the trades, unlike the Reform League, had held rd demonstration which was legal and constitutional, and therefore if they wished to maintain their prestige they should avoid all commuuication with that body. After the disposal of some routine business the meeting adjourned. BRIT/9H ORPHAN ASYLUM —Yesterday the an nual court of the governors and subscribers to this valuable institution was held at the London Tavern, under the presidency of the Lord Mayor, for the eke :on of twelve children hoar an approved list of 61 canaliilutes, and for the reception of the report for the year ending the 3lst of Deoember last. After the election, Mr. A. Mackenzie Obe secretary) read the report, which spoke of the satis factory health of the children during the past year, as afforduag a continued assurance of the salubmy of Slough, and of the domestic care and supervision genera: ly exercised. During the years:, pupils had been admitted to the testi tutan, 24 by the votes of the governors and subscribers, seven by purchase, and two on the nomination of Ur. E,lward Mackenzie. The number of children in the asylum after yesterday's election, was stated at 160. The expenses incurred by the directors in resistieg the claim for pour-rates amounted to 117/.16e. 11.1., towards defray lug which contributions were made by other kindred insti tutions, and an earnest hope was expressed that her Majesty's government might devise some eremites to re medy the anomalous position of the law, whereby charitable institutions dependent on fluctuating voluntary support had recently been held liable for local and other taxation. Legacies amounting to 1,200/. had been re ceived. The visitation of cholera arid cattle-plague and local disasters, such as the Indian famine, the Quebec tire, and the more recent melancholy explosions in the coal districts, hail brought almost unprecedented claims upon the sympathy of the benevolent aiming the year, sod this hail led to an impoverishment of the re sources of long established institutions like the British Orphan Asylum. At the same time several of these cala mities hail concurred with the ruin caused try recent diem. Irons commercial failures in desolating many once pros perous homes, and leaving widows and orphans in unfore seen and fearful ilerititution. It could hardly therefore be matter of surprise that the directors of this institution found themselves in a position which it was feared might compel them to sell out a portion of the email funded capital of the charity to meet present difficulties, and under these circumstances an urgent appeal was made for increase I support The report having been adopted, an alteration in the roles , to the effect that not more than two children of the same parents abould be admitted to the benefit of the institution, was proposed by the Rev. T. J. Ross sell, and carried. Pecuniary rewards were pre seated by the chairman to a small number of former who attended with satisfactory testimonials from their employers ; rafter which the officers for the year were elected. rind a cordial vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor for presidia; brought the proceedings to a close. FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT IN STAF F A serious colliery accident, resulting in the loos of two lives, ocmrred at the Sytch Colliery, Luralem, on Monday morning. This colliery is of somewhat small dimensions, and is the property of Mr. Wood. There are only six men employed in getting what is termed the" red shag" mine, consisting of coal and ironstone, there being an upper :awl a lower level, approached by two shafts, 80 yards aril .k) yards deep. Early on Monday morning four miners, named James Yates, Isaac Mandielil, Samuel Yates. and George Simeock, began to work in the bottom level drift, about seven yards from the downcast shaft. At snout eleven o'clock they had made a bole in the mineral for the negation of gunpowder previous to a blast, when the roof suddenly fell in, burying the two men, Janie. Yates and law Mansfield, beneath some 8 or 10 tons of the fallen material, and killing them instantly. The other two men escaped unhurt, and made the best of their way to the pit's mouth, which they reached with some difficulty, as they happened to be farthest from the shaft, and had to re move some of the fallen material, Mr. Amor end Mr. Jones, neighbouring colliery lessees, with Charles Han grams and John Steele, miners, immediately volunteered to descend the mine to recover the dead bodice. The first discovered was that of Mansfield, who was crushed in a fearful manner, his head slightly protruding from the fallen masa. In the course of half an hour the body was brought to the surface, but owing to the lar g e quantity of the material which required removing, and the accumula tion of water, the second body was not sent up until near 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 9, 1867. DLIASTROUS GALE;. WINDSOR. Trrs DAT. The sudden thawing of the great deposit ut snow Co Sunday, and the subsequent rain of Monday and the storm of this morning have greatly swollen the waters of the T h ames at Windsor, Maidenhead, and Staines. At Windsor the water rose very rapidly, the rise ta-iLi; es %Mated at about two inches an hour, and by this morning the stream was quite two feet higher. A strong westerly wind has been blowing, accompanied by showers of rain, and as a volume of water has yet to come down from the Oxforiri hills, it is not unlikely that the inundation of last year may be repeated. During the gale of this morning the wind caught a portion of the stone battle ments on the south side of the roof of St. George's Chapel, and tearing it away it feU upon the pavement between the buttresses. It is a fortunate thing that no one was beneath, or fatal consequences must have ensued. The dilvidated condition of this part of the ancient cathedral render im renovation imperative. WEYMOUTH, TUESDAY, NOON. The gale of Saturday has been succeeded by another of a most violent nature which has again caused much damage. As before stated the wind considerably moderated on Sunday. and it was not until about mid-day on Monday that there again appeared any symptoms of a gale. Soon afterwards. however, the wind set in from the south, and throughout the whole of Monday night, and up to the pre- sent time, there has been a complete hurricane, although it is now veering round to the W.N.W. The sea is tremendously high, and much damage has been done in Weymouth. It unfortunately happens that the spring tides are just now, and this, coupled with the boisterous winds, has had the effect of Waiting the sea higher than it is under ordinary circum stances. In the - harbour the quay has been inundated, in some 'daces along the Backwater the water being almost two feet high. The working of the tuunway which runs on the quay cannot be carried on, and trade is almost generally stopped. Owing to the heavy run of the tide in the harbour a portion of the quay, near the Cus tom-house. has been pulled down by the severe strain upon it from the cables of ships. The schooner Isabella, of Waterford, broke away from her moorings, owing to the exceedingly strong run of the tide, and it was by the merest chance she contrived to save herself from being dashed against the quay. Our beauti ful esplan.ule is sadly dis fi gured by the sea, especially the upper portion, near Brunswick•buildings, where, owing to the effect of the breakwater, the sea is driven with great force. The inhabitants of this part of the town were in a great state of alarm, owing to the boisterous nature of the elements, the sea actually reaching the very doors of their houses. The harbour is full of slapping, which have put in for safety. All communication between Weymouth and Portland is stopped, the sea from the West Lay having washed a portion of the railway away. The sea in the bay is awfully grand, it making a complete breach over the Chesil Beach. The train which left Weymouth at half-past seven this morning could not succeed in reaching Portland. The turnpike road is inundated, and besides this the sea has washed great holes in it, thus rendering it impossible to come either to or from Portland. Later in the morning Mr. Reynolds, the superintendent of the Great Western Railway, and other officials, proceeded on the line as far as possible, with the view of seeing whither anything could be done to effect a com munication, but it was deemed useless to make any at tempts, as tons of water were being thrown on it. It is impossible to say when the line will be in a fit state for working. The steam tug Commodore put to sea early in the morning for the purpose of saving portions of wreck. At the time of our writing a brigantine, with her main boom gone, was seen, and it is feared other vessels have Eistained damage, but the rough weather prevailing ren ders it impossible to make communication with them. To show the violence of the sea, we may state that a boat was thrown to the door of a sergeant of police, who lives about DV yards from the edge of the Backwater. About a do...en vessels, we learn, took refuge in Kimmeridge Bay on Monday, and the lifeboat George Scott went out, but fortunately her services were not required. SOUTHAMPTON, TeitsDsv . -•• • • - It blew a hurricane from the S.S.W. the whole of last night. and seine damage was done to the quay. The Chan nel Islands and Havre packets, which should have left at midnight, were unable to get away until seven o'clock this meriting. The homeward bound steamer from Havre, which should have reached here by daylight, did not arrive hefore midday. The Isle of Wight steamers have brought wo.d that a large ship is ashore at Black Gang Chine, at the bask of the iskintl. A strong wind has been blowing from the west the whole of the day. PLYMOUTH, Tummy. A heavy seuth-south-west gale was experienced here last night, when two small schooners were totally wrecked in Batten Bay—the Tearer, of Ipswich, with loss of all hands except the mate, and the Palmyra, of Southampton, with all hands. The ship John Gray, of Glasgow, from Demerara for London, was also totally wrecked in Mount's Bay. The rassengers and crew rived ; the captain and mate were drowned. The telegraph wires in some parts have been blown down. LIVERPOOL, TUISMAY. A heavy gale prevailed all the morning from W.N.W., accompanied by a very rough sea, which prevented many ships item putting out to sea. Accounts received here from several of the outports show that the storm which swept over Liverpool on Saturday night and Sunday morning must have extended longing down the channel. The steamer Fire rer ti d en, bound from Liverpool to New Orleans, was coin to seek shelter in queenstown, having encounte the full force of the gale, and having her cargo shifted. The Hound took shelter at Milford with loss of maintopruast, rigging, Sze. The schooner St. George, bound to Runcorn, was lost off the Great Onnalimil on Saturday night and two of the crew were drowned. The iron ship Countess of Renfrew has gone ashore near Tacunishope, Wexford, and is likely to become a total wreck. The Bri ghton, Favourite, and Clara went ashore on Sunday morning at Milford, but were ultimately got off without much damage. The ship Blossom, from Dantzie, has put into Torbay with loss of bulwarks, deck load, &c., having experienced very heavy weather in the channel. The Robert and Anenrin were at Waterford, in distress. The brig Eliza, Penzance, was fallen in with off Sr. Ives by the steamer Colon. The crew were taken off and lauded here safely. The ship J. 0., which left this port a few days since, struck on the rocks near Ramsay, Isle of Man, on Saturday night, and went to pieces. The Catherine Porter has been wrecked on the Kish Bank, and only two of the crew saved. The schooner Brothers is a total wreck near Beaumaris. The sloop Sisters was fallen in with outside the N. W. Lightship on Sunday last by the tugboat Her Majesty, iu distress, and ,the crew exhausted. The sloop was towed into Liverpool. A letter received here from the fele of Man states that the ship Janws Crosfield, which struck near Castletown on Saturday night, is a most complete wreck, and that very little of the cargo can be saved. Not one of those on board have been saved, nor have any of the dead bodies reached the shore. The spot where the ill-fated ship struck is described a. almost similar to the rocks at Lambay Island, where the Tavleur was lost some years ago, at which wreck upwards of 4ou lives were lost. LEICESTER, JAN. S. The heavy rains which have fallen during the thaw have produced disastrous floods here. The valley of the Soar is one vast sheet of water, so that in some parts neither river nor canal can be distinguished. The cellars in the low lying districts are tilled up to their ceilings with water, and much property is injured—the water rising to several feet in some of the houses. Pedestrians have to be conveyed to their work and business in carts, and the traffic gene rally is much impeded. There are signs of the water sub siding. COLLISION ON THE BORDEN UNION RAILWAY,— The snowstorm which has prevailed to a serious extent on this part of the border has interfered to a considerable ex tent with the railway arrangements, and the trains, both from north and south, were in some instances delayed for hours ; but no really serious impediment to traffic occurred till Sunday. A hard frost and still &two sphere prevailed till Saturday night about eight o'clock, when the wind blew in angry, fitful gusts, drifting the snow before it. The result was the blocking up of the Border Union Railway in several places, and particularly on both sides of Iniitrope Tunnel, near the summit level of the line, and about twelve 'idles south of Hawick. On the south side of the tunnel is one of the deepest cuttings in Great Britain, through the traditionally-celebrated " Nine Stane ltigg." A goods train from the south stuck fast here late on Ba ' tunlay night, thus blocking the up-line. On the north idle of the tunnel, a goods train from the north got em bedded in the snow near Langburnshiels, a wild, exposed spot, traversed by the " Cattail ;" and a second was stopped short north of the Shankend Viaduct, in a deep cutting, the distance between the two wreaths being little more than a milt. At this last place, i rather serious collision occurred on Sun day afternoon. An engine and two carriages, ' containing eurfacenien, for the purpose of clearing the line, ran into the goods train stuck in the ,now, The men were dashed against each other with great violence, and sustained bruises and contusions more or less seri ous. One of the number, who was on the outlook, and saw what was going to happen, sprang from the train, and was seriously cut on the head suffering more than the rest, who kept their seats. One man escaped entirely unhurt. The buffers were knocked from the engine, but no other damage of consequence was done to the rolling stock. It is said the danger signals were fully displayed, and the cause of the collision has not yet been explained. The injured men were brought back to Hawick, and at once received medical assistance. They were all able to ' lease for their homes by the train to Edinburgh at six p.m., and no danger is apprehended from their injuries A strong force of workmen were employed clearing the line all Sunday, and at two a.m. on Monday morning it was again reported open for traffic. The Sunday morning train from the south was seventeen hours behind time ; and the morning train from Edinburgh was five hours late, and could, of course, go no further. The Border Counties line has also been blocked up with snow near Keilder, North Tyne. This is the first time the traffic has been stopped by snow on these lines since they were opened in 18d2, though they pass through a very high and exposed pastor al district —Scotsmen.

Dr. Lankester held an illqlest yesterday at the Royal Oak, Circus-street, Maryiebone, on the body of Sarah Berriman, aged 70, who was found stark naked and dead in a small and filthy apartment in Walmer-street. The evidence of her landlady was as follows :—I live at 5, Wahner-street. Deceased has lodged with me six or seven years. She occupied the back room, and paid 2s. per week rent. She received 3s. 6d. • week from the parish, and that was the whole of her income, to the Lest of my belief. I believe she lived on Is. tid, a week.— Coroner : The state of filth of her room was so great that I do not believe she could have lived very long there. (To witness)—When did you see her last alive'.' —Whiner : I saw her last alive on Monday last Ghat day week). She was found dead on Friday. Mr. Fuller, one of the relieving officers of the perish, used to bring her the 3s. 6d. each week. A young girl named Harriett Grigg, who used to go on errands for the de ceased, said, to answer to the Coroner—She had no bed ; she had no blanket to cover her ; she had nothing but • quilt. On Thursday last I left her sitting before • little bit of fire. I always fetched her what she had to eat. She never fetched anything herself. I used to fetch her one quartern loaf, two ounces of butter, a fewcoals, and a little tea and sugar, and that used to last her for • week. I never fetched her any meat. Sometimes, when she took her money, I fetched her a penny roll extra. Mr. Charles Heberden, of 14, Gloucester-place, Portman-square, who is connected with a charitable society which allows 2s. a week to some of the aged poor during ten of the severest weeks of the year, said deceased was one of the society's pensioners, but she had not yet received any money. I called at her lodging on Friday last to give her the first 2s. I rapped at her door, hut not receiving any answer I tried the door, which was locked. Having called • person in the house up, I fetched a locksmith, who opened the door, and I then saw the body of deceased l naked and dead on the door. There was • basin of Flirtywater near her, but there always had been that when I called. She had told we on a preview occasion that through some malformation of the body she could neither sit in • chair nor lie on a bedstead, and had always re clined on the floor. Dr. Goddard deposed that he had made an examination of the body of the deceased. It was covered with vermin. There was extensive curvature of the spine. He found the stomach perfectly empty. Deceased died from want of food and warmth. The Coroner said it was a shocking thing that this should occur the richest district in the world. Marylebone contained a quarter of • million of people, who paid more taxes than any other quarter of a million of people in the world on account of their great wealth, and it certainly seemed dreadful that this should occur. The jury returned • ver dict that deceased died through want and starvation. The Coroner held an inquest later in the day, under somewhat similar circumstances, on the body of an old man whose only income was 10a. per month. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (Betore the Recorder.) John William W,tt surrendered to take his trial for embezzling various sums of money, the property of his master, Alexander Beattie. 3fr. Lilley and Mr. Thompson conducted the prosecu tion ; and Mr. Oppenheim defended the prisoner. The prosecutor in this case carries on the business of • dyer and scourer, in Oakley-street, Lambeth, and it ap peared that the prisoner, who stood in the relation of nephew to him, had been in his service for • great many years, and it was alleged that while so employed he had received certain sums from customers which he had not accounted for. Two similar indictments to the present were disposed of at the Surrey sessions, in one of which the jury acquitted the prisoner, and in the other they were discharged without being able to agree upon a ver dict, and the indictment now under consideration was re moved to this court for triaL It did not appear to be disputed that the prisoner had received the several sums that he was charged with embezzling, and that he had not accounted for them ; but the state of affairs be tween the parties appeared to be somewhat complicated, and it was admitted by the prosecutor that in the year 1857, in consequence of his holding shares in the Royal British Bank, upon which be expected to become liable for calls, he conveyed all his property to the prisoner and his sister, and went away, and the prisoner was left in the entire charge of the business. The substantial answer to the charge, however, was that the prisoner was • partner in the business, and that consequentlyhe was not amenable to such an accusation. Mr. Oppenheim made an energetic and able appeal to the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and after commenting upon the fact of an uncle prosecuting his nephew with such apparent vindictiveness, he argued that upon all the facts the only reliable conclusion they could arrive at was that the prisoner really was a partner in the business, and as such could not be convicted upon the present charge. The Recorder, in summing up the case to the jury, said be felt hound to express his opinion that there was not • tittle of evidence in the case to support the suggestion that the prisoner was a partner, but at the same time there was certainly this material question for theirconsideration, whether the prisoner had wilfully neglected to pay over the sums that he was alleged to have embezzled. The jury retired at half-past one o'clock to deliberate upon their verdict. They were absent more than two hours, and upon their return into court they gave a verdict of Guilty, but, at the same time, strongly recommended the prisoner to mercy on account of the use that the pro- secutor had made of him when he was in difficultits, which they said might have induced him to consider that he wee entitled to take some liberties with the accounts. Sentence was deferred. Frederick Crane, William Pelham, and Henry Pelham, three young men, were charged with assaulting Henry Brown, and robbing him of ten shillings. Mr. Langford prosecuted; Mr. Oppenheim defended the two Pelham', and Mr. Straight appeared for the other prisoner. The prosecutor in this case described himself ea a general dealer, and a little after midnight on the 17th of De cember be was on his way home in the Lambeth-road, when he met a woman, and behind her, at a distance of about twenty yards, were four men, three of whom were the prisoners. As he was passing the woman she said something to him, and he told her it was time for her to be at home, and upon this he was attacked by the four men and knocked down, both his eyes were black ened, and he was severely beaten, and robbed of ten shillings. The prisoners were taken into custody at a public-house near the spot, and when they were charged with having assaulted and robbed the prose cuter, they attempted to make out that the prosecutor hail insulted the woman, who was the wife of the prisoner William Pelham, and that this had led to a fight, but that no robbery was committed or intended. The prosecutor swore that he was perfectly sober at the time the occur rence took place, but both the constables who were engaged in the case expressed their opinion that he was the worse for liquor. When the prisoners were under examination before the magistrate they persisted In the assertion that no robbery had been committed, and that the fight arose in consequence of the prosecutor having insulted the woman, and this was the defence that was now set up for them. The Recorder, at the close of the evidence for the pro secution, expressed his opinion that there was no case established agkinst the prisoner Crane ; and after Mr. oppenheint bad addressed the jury on behalf of the other two prisoners. they said they believed that the transaction was only a drunken row, and they Acquitted all the prisoners. THE POLICE COURT& 11A1. , TSION-HOUSE. James Were, a decent-looking lad, 13 years of age, was charged before the Lord Mayor with stealing a bag con taining 15 cocoanuts from the warehouse of Messrs. Plum ridge and Son, foreign fruiterers, 2, Botolph-lane, City. 1 rem the evidence of Mr. Ashton, warehouseman, in the service of the prosecutors, it appeared that on the previous afternoon, about 5 o'clock, a little boy entered the ware house and informed him that three other boys had just taken from the passage a bag of nuts, and on seeing that the bag, which had been safe on the premises Ave minutes before, was missing, he followed the three lads into St. Mary-at-Hill, where he saw them in the act of dividing the cocoanuts between them. The prisoner was carrying the bag, which, on the approach of the witness. he threw down and ran away. The witness, however, overtook and cap tured him, but his two companions made their escape with their share of the booty. On being searched at the police-station seven cocoanuts were found in his pockets. When charged lie said that he did not take the nuts, but that it was the other boys who had done so. The mother of the prisoner presented herself, and stated that her eon had up to Christmas been employed in a printing-cdfice in the City et 58. per week, and had always been a well-conducted lad, and had only lost his situation in consequence of a slackness of work in the office. In answer to the Lord Mayor, Partridge, the gaoler of the court, stated that the prisoner about two months ago had been charged with two other lade with attempting to steal a tarpaulin from a cart, but they had been discharged in consequence of the non-attendance of the prosecutor. The Lord Mayor said that it slid not appear that the prisoner had any excuse for this act, for, unlike other juvenile depredaton, he had been at work and knew how to get his living honestly. He should punish him for this offence, in the hope that when he came out he would return to an honest calling, instead of having recourse to thieving. The sentence upon him was that he be kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for 14 days. THE HEALTH OF LONDON. It appears from the return issued by authority of the Registrar-Creneral, that in the week that ended on Saturday, January 5, the births registered in London and twelve other large towns of the United Kingdom were 4,048 ; the deaths registered, 3,219. The annual rate of mortality was 27 per 1,000 persons living. lu Lou don the births of 1,031 boys and 974 girls, in all 2,005 children, were registered in the week. In the corre sponding weeks of ten years 1851-66 the average number, corrected for increase of population, was 2,150. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,437. It was the first week of the year ; and the average number of deaths for that week is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,615. The deaths registered in the week were thus 178 below the average. The effects of the weather will, we may expect, be visible in the returns of next week, as registration and funerals were alike more or less retarded by the severe frost and the great snow storm. Forty•three deaths from small-pox, 36 from measles, 35 from scarlatina, 54 from whooping-cough, 44 from typhus, and 16 from dial-I-lima were registered during the week. No death by cholera was re corded. A labourer, aged 45 years, died in Fencburch-street, City, on 2nd January, from " want of food accelerated by cold." The deaths of 17 infanta who were accidentally suffocated in bed were registered in the week ; the ages of these children varied from three weeks to six months. Five of them were killed on December 26, three on December 27, and two on the let January. The deaths of six children from burns or scalds were also recorded. After festive nights parents cannot take too much care of their children. The annual rate of mortality last week was 24 per 1,000 in London, :11 in Edinburgh, and 23 in Dublin ; 24 in Bristol, 24 in Birmingham, 3,1 in Liverpool, 31 is Man chester, 29 in Safford, 22 in Sheffield, 30 m Leeds, Zs in Hull, 44 in Newcastle-upon• Tyne, and 33 in Olaagnw. The rate in Vienna was 31 per I,oooduring the week ending the 22nd ult., when the mean temperature was 161 deg. Fahrenheit lower than In the same week in London, where the rate was 23 per 1,000. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.408 in. The baro metrical reading increased from 2.4.91 in. on Wednesday to 29.92 on Saturday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 25.2 deg., which is 11.7 deg. below the average of the same week in 50 years (as determined by Mr. Olaisher). The highest day temperature was 41.9 deg. on Sunday. The lowest night temperature was 0.6 deg. on SatuMay. On Friday the lowest temperature was 7.7 deg. The entire range of temperature in the week was 35.3 deg. On every day of the week the mean temperature was below the ave rage, and the defect on Friday was no less than 23.2 deg. The mean of the highest temperatures of the water of the Thames was 39.3 (leg. ; that of the lowest was 30.3 (leg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was :1.4 deg. Snow fell on Wednea. day to the depth of about 10 inches. The direction of the wind was variable. According to a return furnished by the engineer of the Metropolitan Board of Works, the average daily quantity of sewage pumped into the River Thames at the southern outfall works, Crossness, was 180,..30 cubic metres. THE YEAR IMH.—The great cities of the kingdom may he thus arranged according to their rates of mortality during the past year. To 1,000 persons living the deaths in Birmingham were 24 ; Hull, 24 ; Bristol, 25 ; Edinburgh, 27 ; Sheffield, 26 ; Dublin, 28 ; Salford, 29 ; Glasgow, 30 ; Manchester, 32 ; Newcastle-on- Tyne, :12.; Leeds, 33 ; Liverpool, 42. The mortality was lower than it was in the year 1865 in Manchester Salford. Birmingham, Hull, Edinburgh, Glasgow ; and farther in Leeds, Bristol, Dublin, Liverpool. Cholera wee exces sively fatal in Liverpool. In London the mortality was at the annual rate of 26, which is two above the average, entirely due to cholera, happily confined within narrow limits. The mortality of London, West, North, Central, and South, holding 2,430.046 people, was 24k, or slightly above the average, while in the east districts the rate was 34 in 1,000 among 607,945 inhabitants. The causes of this local intensity have already been explained. Cholera was epidemic. and proved extraordinarily fatal for a short time, from causes that favoured the diffusion of its ele ments. The detection of these causes, and the judicious hygienic measures which were employed, generally stopped its progress, and saved, as well as much suffering, many thousands of lives. THE BISHOP OP LONDON AND HIS CLEROY.—The gentlemen admitted to priests' orders at the Bishop of London's Christmas ordination have presented his lordship with an address, in which they tender him their sympathy under his protracted indisposition, and recognize the Christian wisdom, the studious thoughtfulness, the libe rality, tbe enlightened philanthropy, and the administrative and organizing ability ' ' which have been revealed in his lordship's teachings and acts since he became diocesan of the metropolis. The gentlemen signing the address also testify to the courteousness shown to them by all the bOhop's chaplains, and their appreciation of the earnest and affectionate address delivered to them by Bishop Anderson on the eve of their ordination. The bishop has returned the following answer to the address:— " Brighton, Dec. 28, 1861i—Gentlemen,—I beg to re turn to you, and to those who have joined you in signing the address which I have this day received, my best thank,, for the kind terms in which you have expressed yourselves towards me. I need scarcely tell you that it has been a great disappointment to me to find myself forbidden by my medical advisers to take part in your ordination. It has been a great satisfaction to me to hear from the ex• amine» so good an account of the way in which your ex amination was passed, and I earnestly trust that the best blessings of the Holy Spirit of God may attend you in your ministry, and that you may be able to look back with satisfaction on the solemn commencement of duties in the discharge of which God sends an abundant blessing on your own souls, while you grow in the power of doing good to the souls of others. Hoping through God's mercy soon to be present among you in the scene of your labours, —I am, yours very faithfully,—A. C. LOND ON . —Th e R ev . Idessra. J. A. Ross, J. T. Shore, dm." METROPOLITAN RATES. —A return of the amounts raised by the Metropolitan Board of Works, from the City of London and the several districts, parishes, kc., comprised under the provisions of the Metropolis Manage. ment Acts—exclusive of sums raised for main drainage and fire brigade—shows that the amounts have increased in the City of London from 2,815/. in 1857, to 13,881/. in 1806. The aggregate amounts raised from the whole of the parishes, districts, and parts were 87,940/. in 1857, and 170.3951. in 1866. THE EXPORT COAL TRADE. —The exports of coal from the United Kingdom continue to show a large in crease, the total in November having amounted to 790,109 tons, as compared with 731,329 tons in the corresponding month, and 773,3tti tons in November, 1864. The awe - gate exports in the 11 months ending November 30 la.t year amounted to 9,257,210 tons, as compared with 8,484,336 tons in the corresponding period of 1866, and 8,141,388 tons in the first 11 months of 1864. In these totals the shipments to France figure for 1,708,315 tons, as against 1,442,682 tons and 1,311,757 tons respectively. The exports also increased last year to Russia, Sweden, the Hansa Towns, Holland. Spain. Italy, Brasil, and British India ; and to the United States there was a de crease. In the 11 months ending November 30 last year the total value of the exports reached 4.733,0561. against 4,071,4751. to the corresponding date of 1865,and 3,829,0041. in the first 11 months of 1864. LANBET'H For the last two days this oourt.has been turned into • relieving office, and Mr. Elliott has been almost wholly engaged in awarding the different sums to the applicants. 110 numerous are the applicants that it has been found quite impossible to make the necessary inquiries respect ing the truth of their statements or the justice of their claims, and the consequence is that very many of them are regular " cadgers" or " mouchers," who make it • practice year after year to be claimants on this benevolent fund, and many, by change of dress and variety of statements, manage to get several doles out of it. That many of them are of the most wretched class, and come from the filthiest localities in the metropolis, is evidenced by the filthy odour which their presence creates, and which is positively dangerous to the health of the officers who have to attend on them. There is also further proof of the dirty state of the applicants in the fact that the officers who have to take down the names and pay them the money find them selves troubled nightly with • species of live stock any thing but agreeable. Amongst the applicants there were • number of men who, as mechanics and labourers, up to a few weeks ago had been earning most liberal wages, but are now, with their families, perfectly penniless. One wretched woman said that her husband had been in the employment of the respectable firm of Messrs. Mandalay and Co., who always gave liberal wages, and was on that (yesterday) morning without the price of a loaf of bread. Tag NEW LAW COURTS. —Yesterday, the place erected in New-square, Lincoln's-inn, for the exhibition of the plans for the new Law Courts was visited by • number of barristers. It will be opened for the reception of the plans inn few days, but the public inspection will not commence, it is understood, till the 16th of February. THE SUSPECTED DEATH PROM POISON IN SLACK PRIARS.—Mit. Parke, the City 001.02101., resumed last even ing the investigation, at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, re specting the death of Mrs. Anne Edward', aged 42 years, who was alleged to have died from the effects of poison, under the circumstances already reported. The evidence of the medical men was to the effect that the symptoms of death and the app earsnce of the body favoured the sup. position that death resulted from poisoning, but no poison was found in the stomach. The !jury returned the follow ing verdict :—" That the deceased came by her death by • corrosive poison, but how the laid poison got into the sys tem there is no evidence to show." The Foreman—That, sir, is an open verdict, and it leaves it open to take any steps afterwards that may be deemed necessary. A MAGISTERIAL DIFFICULTY. —Yesterday Liver pool was without • stipendiary magistrate to transact the business of the principal police court. The " vacancy" has °centred in this way. Mr. Thomas S. Raffles has for some years past meet efficiently discharged the duties of that office. A few days ago the finance committee of the cor poration, in consideration of Mr. Raffles' long and labo rious services and the ability and zeal with which they have been characterised, recommended the town council to advanx his salary from 1,2001. to 1,500 f. per annum. At its meeting on Wednesday last the council confirmed this recommendation, and, nonsensical as it may appear, this increase of his " worship's" salary has actually necessitated his resignation. Accordingly, on Monday evening, Mr. Rattles forwarded that resignation to the Home-office,so that yester day he was merely • justice of the peace for the borough of Liverpool, his special function as stipendiary Magistrate of adjudicating alone upon all cases brought before him was abrogated, snd in each case where • conviction under the Criminal Justice Act took place he was obliged to call in the assistance of one of his " lay " brethren of the bench, in order to render that conviction legal. Mr. Raffia' appointment was expected to arrive from London last night, and, should that be so, to-day the whole form of swearing him in, he., before the mayor and corporate officials will be gone through, just the same as if he had sever had a seat upon the bench at all. 7BOM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

COTTON GOODS.—IIIanIineTZS, J. B.—ln ship ping yarns there Ins been a fair amount of business to. day, but at rather lower prices than could be obtained last week. This business, however, has not embraced all markets, and upon the whole the market may be consi dered rather tame. To make sales of any considerable quantities still lower prices would have had to be %Acta The market for home-trade yarns has been exceedingly languid, and 'ellen have been enabled to sustain values chiefly through the firmness yet remaining in the prices of cotton. Spinners give much the same quotations as oft Friday, but there has been leas than an average business transacted. In cloths we have no particular change to notice as compared with last week. Prices remain norm. nay the same, but there is a marked absence of business in shirtings and printers, and moat descriptions of India goods meet with little demand. Buyers hold back with much caution, though it is possible that if holders were tempted by larger offers, some little concession would be made in price. The leading characteristic of the market for cloths is an indisposition to operate, and a difficulty is selling at the quotations. WOOLLEN.—Leone, JAN. B.—Notwithstanding tit appearance of several representatives of Bradford anal Ras. cheater home and shipping houses, the attendance at tie cloth halls this morning has not been large, and the amount of business transacted has not been up to the average for this period of the year. The thick state of tie atmosphere has, no doubt, again been one cause for the deficiency in the transfer of spring fabrics, which have been only sparingly inquired after. There has been a tole rably good demand in the coloured market for plain cloths, including several parcels of wool-black and blue cloths ; a few lots of blue-grey tweeds and thin coatings have also changed hands, though the transactions in these makes have only been limited. There has not been much busbies done in the white hall. Hair-lists have been quiet ; a few small parcels in better qualities have met with purchases, and the inquiries for white mediums have not been nume rous. Prices remain without any noticeable alteration. MANTJFACTURES. HETDDZIRTIZLD, JAN. B.—There have been more buyers in the market to-day than for some weeks, both from London and the provinces, and, thong; business has not been very brisk, • better feeling has bee• quite evident. The selections have chiefly been made from fancy mixtures and spring goods, with a slight im. provement in the general trade. A few Canadians sre also in the market, and have operated some little in the lower descriptions. WOOLS.—IIf:DDZIMPII:LD, JAR. B.—Tbere is not yet any improvement in the wool trade, but a better demand is slimily expected. Dealers feel a little more confidence, and prices are well maintained. CORN.—HULL, JAN. B.—At to-day's market a fair supply of English wheat, but condition generally only moderate; good qualities sell readily at last Tuesday's currency, and in some instances Is. per qr. advance is obtainable, whilst inferior descriptions are neglected. Foreign held firmly, but not much business passing. Bar. ley for malting in steady request, at prices in favour of sellers. Beans and peas steady at late currency. Oats of tine quality sell more freely, but other description neglected. Indian corn—White French (to arrive) held at 40s. per 4001bs. Arrivals for the week:—Wheat, 11,704 ; barley, 13,325 ; oats, 3,334 ; beans, 1,021; peas, 2,34 ; tares, 147 qrs. Irswica, JAN. B.—We continue to have short supplies of wheat, and prices orevp up to-day ; the little sold was at the extreme prices of last week, and in some instance' at Is. per qr. advance. Barley, especially for best quali ties, was Is. per qr. dearer. Beans and peas firm. Leaps, JAN. B.—The deliveries in the agricultural districts are so insignificant, and the prices so much higher there than those current on our markets, that our supplies must be merely nominal for some time to come. This, with a smart demand for France, which took place yesterday at several ports on the east coast, gives increased tone to our trade to-day, and we have a fair demand at la advance upon the rates of last Tuesday. No material alteration in other articles. LIVERPOOL, JAN. R.—We had a good attendance at our market to-day, but the business in wheat was checked owing to the small choice of parcels offering ; Friday's prices were maintained. Flour firm, with a fair sale. Oatmeal in fair inquiry, and Is. per load dearer. Indian corn scarce, end prices fully 6d. dearer. Oats quiet, and unchanged. LYNN, JAI. R.—There was • moderate show of wheat at to-day's market, the condition somewhat affected by the weather; dry samples readily sold at is. per qr. advance, damp parcels as last week. A short supply of malting barley, and prices fully la. per qr. higher; grinding de scriptions as last week. Beans and oats commanded lid. to Is. per qr. more money. Per quarter imperial to the grower :—Wheat, white, old, 6211 x. to 63145., frla. to 665.; red, ditto, 621bs. to 631b5., Ms. to 63e. ; white, new, 6111 w. to 621 be., Ws. to 645. ; red, ditto, 611 be. to 621b5., 51ts. to 625.

IsTitweastu-DR-Tvivi, JAN. 14.—At our market this morning we had • moderato show of wheat from the growers as well as from the coast, but owing to the retries of milder weather our millers were more retired.
