inusitc. IL&NOVER-SQUARE ROOMS. • The second of a short aeries of chamber ooncerta tisk place at the Hanoveraqtare Rooms last night, when the performance commenced with a pianoforte quartet by M r R. Prout—a oomposition which gained the first prise given bet year by the Society of British Musicians, an institu. tics since defunct. Three years previously the same com poser gained a similar prize for a violin quartet. As these two works are classed respectively as Op. 1 and 2, their author would appear to be slow in production compared with airtaill of our.native composers, who pour forth symphonies, overtures, concertos, and other such large pieces, with a rapidity which argue the utmost faith in their own powers, and but little of that deliberation from which alone any valuable product can result. Mr. Prout's quartet (which we had not heard beforel is so far superior to anything of the kind of British origin that we have beard for many years, that we should be glad to find him making further essays, and in wider directions. Without claiming for Mr. Prout any distinct originality of style, or mach purely inventive powers as scarcely belong to any but a few favoured followers of art, we yet recognise in his pianoforte quartet a work that is entitled to rank u a composition, and may be heard repeatedly with pleasure even by those who are familiar with the best pieces of its slam The two first movements healing rather to tire school of Mozart than to any other style. The first allegro contains some vigorous writing, and the fallowing andante is full of graceful melody, with an sonaional variety of rhythm that is scarcely found in the work of a mere novioe. Tho scherzo possesses much character and fire, and is far beyond an average specimen al a form not easy to reproduce. The best portion of the whole quartet, however, is the finale, which contains mach that is really admirable. There is some free f u gal writing and imitative counterpoint, contrasted with pas sages of modern brilliancy ; together with a power of sustained continuity carried through a movement of con siderable length, that prove Mr. Front to possess great requisites for the higher forms of instrumental composi tion. In this finale there are slight traces of the style of 31endelssohn, but nowhere that direct con- !wince of phrases, largely diluted in transference, which forms so prominent a feature inmost of the recent so-called English music. Especially noticeable is Mr. Prout's power of ooncertante writing—giving that free and unconstrained alternation to the different instruments which is so men tial a feature and so great a charm in concerted music ian pianoforte passage writing, too, is generally excel lest, being thoroughly suited to the genius of the instru ment. The whole work gave us a pleasure, and we may say a hope (for we believe Mr. Prout is still young) which we have not derived from any instru mental music of recent English growth. It was very well played by Messrs. Shedlock (pianoforte), Betjemann (violin), Burnett (viola), and E. Howell (violoncello). Mendelssohn's first sonata for pianoforte and violoncello Kiss Fanny Howell proved herself a pianist of considerable powers of execution and expression ; she has a firm touch, distinct finger, and phrases well. Mr. E. Howell is fast rising into notice as a violoncellist. His tono is excellent, powerful without any approach to that coarseness or null quality which is sometimes heard from the instrument and his execution and style are equally good. One of the features of the evening was the brilliant violin playing of Mr. Betjemann in a difficult fantasia by Sainton, another solo being contributed by Mr. Shedlock, who gave the adagio and rondo from Beethoven's pianoforte son►ta (the " Waldstein.") The remainder of the programme consisted of some vocal music (by Miss Palmer and Mr. Hamming), and a violin quartet by Beethoven. ilabalt an Mita:mg. THE MEDITERRANEAN. Our Malta correspondent, writing on the 21st, says :—" The whole of the British Mediterranean fleet, with the exception of the Arethussi, the Racer, and two or three gunboats, is now assembled in Malta for the winter, giving a splendid appearaoce to the grand harbour of the island. The vessels anchored in this port are the Victo ria, 102, bearing the flag of the commander-in-chief, Lord Clarence Paget, C.B. ; Gibraltar, 81 ; Prince Consort, 3.5: Royal Oak, ; Resistance, 16—the last three iron-clad ; Paidymion, '2l, which has just joined this station from England 4 Enterprise, 4, also an iron-clad ; Cruiser, i ; Psyche, 2 ; Wizard, 2 ; and the troop ship Megams, 4. Captain W. R. Mends, C. 8., the naval director of trans ports, arrived in Malta on Monday last in the Psyche from Alexandria, but in consequence of the local quaran tine on arrivals from that port, he is unable to land. The Psyche leaves Malta in a day or two for Marseilles, with Captain Mends, and it is believed that she will remain there to await the arrival of his Excellency Sir, Henry Storks, and convey him to Malta. Sir Henry is not expected hero until the first week of next month. A government notice was issued this day, stating that official information has been received to the effect that no further cases of cholera have occurred at Marseilles, and that the Acting-Governor, General Ridley, having heard the opinion of the Board of Health, has been pleased to direct that arrivals from Marseilles be admitted to pratique from this day. The twenty-one days' quaran tine on arrivals from Sicily, as well as the ten days quarantine on vessels arriving from Alexandria, Constan tinople, and the Daraibe, are still in force. The Malta and Alexandria line of telegraph is still interrupted, but, as the fault is not of a serious nature, it is expected tbat the repair of the cable will be soon effected, and no doubt before this reaches ysu communication on this im portant line will be re-established." CHATHAM, Nov. 27. The Sepoy, 2, 60-horse power, screw gunboat, after shipping her powder, shot, and shell, from the go vernment magazines at Upnor Castle, proceeded this morning to Ireland, conveying stores to Queenstown and Cork. THE YELLOW FEVER. —Our Southampton corn spondent,writiug last night, says:—The healthy persons on board the Royal Mail ship Tyne were put on board her Majesty's ship .-Eolus, at the Motherbank, yesterday mint ing, and they will receive pratique to-morrow morning, if there is no sickness amongst them. The Tyne is to be thorough'y fumigated, and she will then, it is expected. receive pratioue. The Seine, with the West India and Mexican mails, is expected here during the night. If yellow fever is on board of her, her mails and specie will be landed, and she will be sent to the Motherbank. DRAMATIC, EQUESTRIAN, AND MUSICAL SICK VusrD AssnctarioN.—The eleventh annual meeting of this useful institution was held yesterday afternoon, in the Saloon of Drury-lane Theatre ; Mr. R. Webster, president of the association, took the chair, and there (was a fair at tendance of the members and friends of the charity. The committee announced in their report that they had during the last year made a thorough revision of the working of the institution, and had commenced improvements which would in years to come add considerably to its profits. The charity had since the last meeting suffered a Revere loss by the death of the honorary solicitor, the late Thomas J. derwood, but havir.g now passed through a year of great difficulty, distress, and sickness, the committee congratu lated the members upon their atlll increasing balance at their bankers, referred with gratitude to the legacy left to the charity by the late Mr. F. W. Field, and solicited similar kind remembrances from other friends. The finan cial statement showed that the profit upon the year had ' been VW. lie. 21., and the actual balance in the bank was 1,G33f. 7s. 21. During the year zk'al days of sickness had been administered to, seven funeral allowances had been made, cases of distress bad been relieved, and in 2t in stances loans bad been made for journies. The report and accounts were unanimously adopted, the officers of the society were re-elected, with certain additions to the com mittee, and thanks were voted to the president and officers of the in , titution, especial cordialitybeingdisplayed in the vote which was awarded to Mr. Anson, the honorary secretary. Ssveral gentlemen and ladies were elected members of tl.a association, and a sum of U. ss. was voted as a contribution from its funds to the relief of the sufferers by the fire at the Standard Theatre. The pro ceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to Mr. Chatterton for the use of the room. FENIAN SEIZURE AT LIVERPOOL. —Yesterday the Liverpool detective police seized a large box which had recently arrived per steamer from America. On examina tion the box was found to contain a complete Fenian ofliceis uniform and accoutrements, viz., a fine green cloth tunic profusely ornamented with braid about the body and cuffs, and with gold lace on the collar ; a dress waistcoat Of green moire antique, with gold harp buttons; a handsome =silk velvet cap elaborately ornamented with gold and having the Irish harp in gold at the front. The box also contained three revolvers, a dagger, patent leather belt and cartridge box, and copies of certain "official" regulations. The box is supposed to belong to one of the smsected Fenian agents just apprehended at Drogheda.

CROYDON STEEPLECHASES.-TUZSDAY. - - Croydon, we are told, rejoioed in its race meeting Po far back as the reign of James 1., when the meeting was established, but it is very doubtful if its anniversaries were so popular as at the present time, or its gather ings so numerous as that of to-day. Recently this meeting, so highly popular with Londoners, and destined ere long to become still more famous, has been held in the Upper Addiscombe-road, near the East Croydon Railway station of the Brighton Company ; but owing to the large demand for building ground, the com mittee were obliged to look out for new ground, and have been fortunate in securing along lease of a farm at Stroud green, Woodside, situated about one mile and a half from Croydon, and within one mile of the Norwood Junction, The line of country is a beautiful and somewhat expansive one, nearly two miles round, with thirteen fences in three miles. The ground has been thoroughly drained, and the finish being on the level it has been found practicable to have a fifteen feet water jump immediately opposite the stand. The running ground is divided into two courses, the finish being inside on the fiat, and the water jump on the outer one. The arrangements for business are com plete, and when all the contemplated improvements are made the course will be equal to any in England ; and there ia also likely to be some flat racing over it in the summer months. The morning opened dull, and although rain fell prior to the commencement of the sport, the weather was very seasonable. The attendance was exceedingly large, and the interest taken in the sport considerable. The recent rains had rendered the course very heavy going, and approaching the " sensation water jump" it was very " greasy," many of the competitors not being able to get a good grip for the jump, where, as will be seen from the appended returns, a good many casualties occurred, the death of a horse being in one case the result. During the intervals of sport betting on the Great Metro politan Steeplechase took place at the appended prices.

After going a few strides Reporter took up the running, followed by Sir Bobby, Lady Douglas, Ace of Trumps, and Glycine, the lot taking the water jump in advance of Voigtlander, who came down, breaking his back and dislocating his shoulder, Mr. Crawshaw fortunately escaping unhurt. Reporter re fused at the next fence, leaving Sir Bobby with the lead, the others going on in the same order as before, with the exception of The Pirate, who came into contact with the fallen Voigtlander, refused, and was not further perse vered with. Beyond the refusal of Ace of Trumps on the far side, no variation occurred till the lot again reached the formidable water jump, where Reporter, after clearing it, came down heavily, Mr. Edwards not being able to ex tricate himself wthout assistance. The falling of Pine Apple and the retirement of Glycine, who was pulled up when pursuit was found to be hopeless, reduced the field to three, and Marengo being beaten off three-quarters of a mile from home, an interesting race between Sir Bobby and Lady Douglas ensued, the latter waiting on her op ponent till the last obstacle had been cleared, when she came away, and won easily by ten lengths. Marengo trotted with the crowd a long way in rear. Mr. Edwards' injuries were confined to a slightly sprained foot.

The latter made play, followed by Flyfisher to the fence succeeding the water jump, on chairing which Flyfisher took up the running, Harold going on second, and in this order they again approached the " sensational" jump, where Flyfisher and Harold both came to grief, but Mr. Yates was on his legs in a moment, and seizing his horse (who was cantering away) by the tail, he dexterously remounted. Mr. Yates kept the lead the remainder of the distance, and cantered home a hundred yards in advance of Cortolvin and Fly fisher, who finished a close and exciting race home for the second money, the first-mentioned obtaining it by barely a length. Immense cheering greeted the winner as he re turned to weigh in. LATEST BETTING ON THE COUR.SE. GREAT METROPOLITAN sTEEpLE('trAsE.

It appears that a debenture holder having obtained a judgment ag:iinst the company, a writ was forthwith issued, and yes terday afternoon the sheriff's officers unexpectedly pre sented themselves at the company's principal station in Shrewsbury, and formally entered upon possession. The down train from Llanyinyneeh immediately after entered the station, and the bailiffs without having given any pre vious intimation to the manager seized the engine and car riages and refused to permit the outgoing train to start, although many passengers had taken tickets. Ultimately the manager obtained the requisite permission, and it was arranged that the train should make the journey, one of the bailiffs meanwhile remaining in charge. At the time of the despatch of our parcel the aching sheriff, Mr. J. J. l'eele, solicitor, had refused to make a similar concession with regard to the further running of the trains, and it being fair day in Shrewsbury, and a large number of per sons from the several stations along the line having taken return tickets, much inconvenience to the public was likely to ensue. The North Wales section of the fine was com pleted in August last, at a cost of a little over 1,100,000 t., and was opened for passenger and goods traffic on the 13th of that month. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, .I;foIf . EMBER 28, 1966. tt tnce. THE SEIZURE OF THE SHIP TORNADO.—We re• cently directed attention to the course pursued by the Spanish government iu reference to the British chip Tor nado and her crew, and see took occasion to point out how directly and obviously the conduct of the Spanish govern ment in this matter conflicted with the accepted Mali= of international law and the usages of mari time states. We are now enabled to announce that the imprisonment of the crew of the Tornado, and their treatment as prisoners of war, has been referred by our government to the law officers of the Crown, who are of opinion that " the Spanish govern , ment is certainly not justified in treating with harshness, much less with positive cruelty, the subjects of her Ma jesty taken on board the Tornado, or in considering and treating them as within the cate,ory of prisoner' of war, before they have been clearly proved to have been acting as part of the military force of Chili." This being the de liberate opinion of the legal advisers of the Crown, we, in common with the British public, are desirous to know what steps have been taken by her Majesty's government to I obtain the liberation of a number of Bntiah subjects who, for the past three months, have been treated by the Spanish authorities in a manner which has been fitly cha racterised as " positive cruelty." Notwithstanding the length of time which has elapsed sinoe the seizure of the Tornado, no steps have been taken, so far as we are in formed, to bring it before a prize court, while her unfortu nate crew have been subjected to treatment for which there would be no excuse or palliation if they were actually prisoners of war. We are nut among those who clamour on any and every occasion for a display of promptitude on the part of our government in dealing with foreign states, much less for a resort to force. But surely there is a limit which must not be passed by any foreign state, if the subjects of this realm are to Lave that protection in parson and property which they have been hitherto accus tomed to look for in the British flag. The law officers of the crown are clearly of opinion that this limit has been by the Spanish government in the matter of the c a M e Lo, and that the crew of that vessel are at this moment the victims of cruel oppression. We cannot doubt that the instructions which our Minister at Madrid has received, or will receive,are now of a decisive character. —Shipping and Mercantile Gazette. A shocking accident has happened near Ashby de-le-Zan:di. A gamekeeper named Fairbrother, employed on the estate of Lady Edith Hastings, got upon the rail way with the intention of walking to his home, which was situated at about a mile's distance, a custom which it ap pears be regularly followed. It was then about eight o'clock, and a clear moonlight night, but by some mis chance he was knocked down and run over by a goods train. The driver of a passenger train which followed saw some thing on the line, from which, on his approaching it, a dog leaped out. A search was then made, and Fairbrether was found with his bead literally cut in twe. Hie dog still re mained keeping guard over the mangled body of his un fortunite master. THE FORTHCOMING REFORM DEXONST.RATION. DIZETTATION TO THE HOME SECRETART. Yesterday afternoon a deputation from the organization committee of the forthcoming trade and friendly societies' reform demonstration waited on Mr. Walpole, at the Rome-office, for the purpose of asking his sanction to the enrolment of special constables from the trades, for the demonstration, and to ascertain the exact duty of the police on the occasion. Sir Richard Mayne was present at the interview. Mr. GEORGE Porren, who wag the spokesman of the deputation, stated that the trades and other or poised bodies in the metropolis, being anxious that the demonstration which they intended to hold on Monday next 'bailie reflect credit on them as working. men, and be onsflibieh the government would respect and recognise as worthy of the objects which they desired to attain, had sought an interview with Sir Richard Mayne, as chief commissioner of police, to ask him to facilitate the progress of the procession, and to help them to keep away the roughs and bad characters Who abound in all large towns, but more especially in this great city. Tbe com mittee then stated what they would repeat now, namely, that the working-men would take measures for their own preservation, but that it was necessary, for the pesos of the metropolis, to guard against the ill-disposed persons who were present at all great gatherings in London, such as the opening of parliament b y the Q ueen, Lord Mayor's Day, or the entrance into the metropolis of some royal personage. Sir Richard Mayne stated he could not assist them, in fact he (Mr. Potter) might say the chief commissioner positively refused to interfere in the matter, but informed thew that if they sent him the programme of their arrangements, he would see whether he could facilitate the procession. They, as the committee, felt the responsibility which would attach to them in connection with the forthcoming demonstration, and consequently regretted the decision of Sir Richard Mayne on the occa sion referred to. The committee, therefore,vrished to know whether the Home Secretary would allow the swearing in, or arrange for the swearing in of 1,000 artisans of London as special constables, and by that means give them a posi tian without which they eoeld not make the demonstra tion what they wished it to be. Without some precau tion of that sort it would be impossible to guard against people who would attend the demonstration for the pur pose of creating a disturbance. The committee of the trades and societies generally would regret as much as the government themselves any damage to property, and would not even wish to see a window broken on the occasion of their meeting. They did not yet know where they would meet. They had an offer from her Majesty's government of a place of which they did not approve, and which he hoped they would not be obliged to have. Mr. JENKINS said the working men of London would, for the sake of their cause, act peaceably at the forth coming demonstration, but they wished the government to co-operate with them in their desire to maintain public Mr. kfmrrwri.r. said that at Leeds, Manchester, and Birmingham, the police authorities had given every facility to the parties arranging the processions. At Birmingham the police commissioner rode in his carriage at the head of the procession, while the superintendent and the force under him assisted in preserving order. They had mentioned that fact to Sir Richard Mayne, who told them that he was not bound to follow the example of the police commissioners in the places referred to, and that he had no power whatever to act in the matter. He (Mr. Hartwell) thought it was only fair that the govern mast should now do for the working men of London what they did for themselves in 1848. Sir RICHARD Blavxe expressed a desire to remove a misapprehension which he said was entertained by the deputation. When he told them he had no power to interfere, it was in reply to their request that half of the streets through which the procession would pass should be kept clear, and that the traffic in the side streets should be stopped. Mr. HARTWELL said the committee did not of course presume that Sir Richard Mayne would allow the idlers and roughs of London to do as they liked. Rut at the starting of the procession and on its arrival at the place of meeting there would be confusion which would im part disorder to their proceedings, end in that case the services of the police would be valuable. Mr. W.tLre.LE said if Mr. Hartwell, in speaking of the assistance of the police, meant the prevention of any ob struction to traffic, he begged to say that such az occur rence would be guarded against. He wished to inform the deputation that their application for special constables could not be granted on the ground that they expected disorder, and he should like to call their attention to the act of parliament on the subject. The honourable gentle man read the act of parliament, which was, in substance, that where it should be made to appear to two or more justices of the peace, upon the oath of one credible wit ness, that tumult, riot, or violence had taken place or might reasonably be apprehended in any parish or town ship for which the justices respectively act, they should he of opinion that the ordinary officers appointed for pre serving the peace were not sufficient for that purpose, or for the protection of the inhabitants or the security of the property in Any such place, then and then only they may appoint special constables. It was not in his power either to withhold or grant such a measure, if any persons should merely represent that a breach of the peace was likely to occur ; and, in the second place, if he were to entertain the assumption that anything of the kind would take place they might think he was pre judging their conduct at the demonstration, and doing what he had uo doubt they would not like him to do. Mr. PorrEn called the attention of Mr. Walpole to Sir Richard Mayne's statement in reference to the responsi bility of bringing large numbers together. and wisind to explain that the committee were anxious it should be publicly understood that they did not take the responsi bility without appealing to him (Mr. Walpole) and Sir Richard Mayne fur assistance. If, as was the case at the demonstration last summer, roughs formed themselves in bodies, and broke windows and committed other acts of violence, the result would be prejudicial to the bona fide working men of London. They appre hended something of that sort would occur again, because where roughs and blackguards assembled in bands on a short winter's day, no one knew what damage they might do. The committee did not want to go before justices of the peace, but they thought the Home Secre tary might give the assistance which had been given at the demonstrations in the provinces, where there had been no damage. The working men of London could not an swer for the roughs, and they had thought it was the duty of the Home Secretary to assist them. If any violence or disturbance took place it would injure the cause of the work ing men, inasmuch as it would leave them open to the taunts of the tory press and others, who would say that the roughs belonged to them. Mr. WALPOLE add he had thought the visit of the de putation was specifically upon the point whether special constables would be sworn or not. The latter observations of Mr. Potter had reference to • different application, namely, the assistance of the police to prevent disturbances, not consequent upon the arts of the processionists, but upon the acts of those who accompanied them. He did not see from all the information which Mr. Potter had given him that he (Mr. Potter) or any other person could go and swear to an apprehended tumult at the meeting. It hail been intimated by the committee to Sir Richard Mayne that he (Sir Richard) would be made acquainted with the pro gramme of their proceedings. in order that he would have the opportunity of arranging such measures as would ap pear to him, or in consultation with him (Mr. Walpole) advisable to prevent obstruction to traffic in the streets. The inevitable result of the gathering together of large bodies of men, the consequences of which had been pointed out to them by Sir Richard Mayne, was the congregation of numbers of what Mr. Potter called roughs. The go. vcrnruent had no objection to the meeting, but they could not help warning those who promoted it that consequences might occur leading to disorder or obstruc tion, or danger to property, in all of which cases it would be the duty of the police to interfere. He did not think more than that should be asked. As soon as they had determined upon the kind of programme for the day of meeting, Sir Richard Mayne would take precautions, and it would be for the benefit of the deputation as well as for the benefit of the metropolis that as little obstruction should take place as possible. The police would take care the processionists were rot unnecessarily interfered with, and it would also be their duty to put an end to any dis turbances that might occur. Ths trades would also be expected to assist the police in preventing disturbance. Mr. PortEa, on behalf of the trades, promised that they would give every assistance to the police in preventing obstruction or disturbance. Mr. WALPDLE said if the deputation acted on that promise he for one apprehended no disturbance. Mr. HARTWELL said he would send Sir Richard Mayne a pro;remnie of the procce , lings, as requested. The deputation then thanked Mr. Walpole, and with drew. At a meetitv , of the Trades' Demonstration Committee, last evening, :ft the Brougham-hall, Fleet-street, Mr. G. Potter, who was in the chair, reported that himself and others had waited upon Lord Ranelagh with respect to the Beaufort-house Ride-grounds, Old Brompton, and that gallant nobleman had oonsente.l to allow the proposed meeting on the :;rd proximo to be held in the grounds of Beaufort-house. The announcement was received with loud cheering, and the chairman added that he had given his lordship, in his own name and that of the committee, the required indemnPy against damege to his property. It was then resolved that the meeting be held in the grounds so kindly given by Lord Ranelagh, and that the secretary write a letter to Lord John Manners, thanking his lordship for the offer of Primrose-hill, but informing him that the committee had secured a private ground in which to bold the meeting. The programme was then considered and adopted, and ordered to be published. All tickets issued for the Ashburnham-grounds will be ad mitted to Beaufort-house grounds, and no person will be allowed to walk in the procession or enter the grounds unless provided with a ticket, which are sold at 2d. each, to defray the expenses of the demonstration. The com mittee then adjourned, with three cheers for Lord Rene lagh and thanb to Lord John Manners and Mr. Waloole far their courteous treatment of the deputation who had waited upon them.

In this case a decree nisi had been obtained by the peti tioner, the respondent's counsel having at the hearing re tired, on the ground that they had not been sufficiently instructed. Mr. Hodson now applied for an astachment against the respondent for disobeying the order of the court, to deliver up the only child of the marriage to the petitioner. Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Mr. Hannen, on the other side, read an affidavit of the respondent, stating that she had had a good defence, but that her case had miscarried through the negligence of her attorney, and praying for a new trial. Sir Wilde said that if the respondent delivered up the child before the court rose for the Christmas holidays he would hear an application for a new trial. THE POLICE COURT& WESTMINSTER. Susan Davison was oharged with ,the oommisaion of series of thefts. The Rev. Mr. Ford, 156, Cambridge-street, Pimlico, said that the prisoner had been in his servioe,and left about a fortnight ago. Having been accused of other offences she had admitted that she had robbed him of money from time to time. Mrs. Ford said that during six weeks, which time the prisoner wiis in the house, she missed money from her locked trunk.

Mr. Ford said that he bad made no promise to her of any description. He then handed in a written confessionof the prisoner's peculation., and said that some skeleton keys brought by a man who visited the prisoner had been found in the cellar. He had given her the keys, and set her, according to her account, to rob the house. Prisoner said the confession had been extorted from her by threats that she should bo thrown into a dungeon where there were rats and mice, for the remainder of her life. She declared that her master's eon had brought the skeleton keys there. The son positively denied this, and proved finding the keys in the cellar. A young man related to the prisoner positively declared that the Fords had offered to forego the prosecution if the money was restored. Mr. Ford denied it. It was stated that the prisoner's young man, said to have given her the keys, could be produced. Mr. Arnold said it was an extraordinary thing that the girl should have been kept in the house so long after the confession. Prisoner was ordered to find a surety in 251. for her re- ippeausni THE HEALTH OF LONDON. It appears from the return issued by authority of the Registrar-General that in the week that ended on Saturday, November 24, the births registered in London and twelve other large towns of the United Kingdom were 4,274 ; the deaths registered 3,070. The annual rate of mortality was 26 per 1,000 persons living. In London the births of 1,101 boys and 1,034 girls, in all 2,135 chil dren, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years, 1856-65, the average number, corrected for increase of population, was 1,093. The deaths regis tered in London during the week were 1,435. It was the forty-seventh week of the year ; and the average number of deaths for that week is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,638. The deaths in the present return are less by 173 than the estimated number. Eight deaths from cholera, 26 from diarrhea were registered during the week. For the first time since the origin of the epidemic the number of deaths by cholera is less than the number of deaths by diarrhudi. The deaths by cholera during the last seven weeks -were 9117, 144 112, 73, 1,7, 32, and 8 ; while the weekly deaths by rliarrhuia fell form 47 to 26 in the same time. It must be allowed that the circumspection of the most dangerous , epidemic of the year in London is very much due to the measures by which it has been combated ; and the time has now come for the extension of similar measures to the extinction of other zymotic diseases, such as typhoid fever. The companies supplied each house with a metric ton of water daily in October. Dr. Frankland's analyses of the waters for November are given in the appendix. Dr. Letheby, in the sppendix, has described the array of disinfectants, which have been employed under his instructions in the city i and has laid down rules for their use at once clear, judicious, and prac tical. If, with other wise measures, disinfection is strictly carried out, it is probable that the weekly deaths by diarrhea 20, fever 55, whooping-cough 31, measles 26, small pox 26. scarlatina 42, and diptheria 3, will be much reduced during the coming winter. The deaths of four persons who were killed by vehicles in the streets, and of 14 children and three adults who died from burns or scalds were registered in the week. The annual rate of mortality last week was 24 per 1,000 in London, 30 in Edinburgh, and 31 in Dublin ; 22 in Bristol, 24 in Birmingham, 31 in Liverpool, 30 in Man chester, 18 in Salford, 22 in Sheffield, 20 in Leeds, 26 in Hull, 32 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and 29 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 30 per 1,000 during the week ending the 10th inst., when the temperature was 0.6 deg. Fahrenheit lower than in the same week in London, where the rate was 23 per 1,000. DISEASED MEAT. —At the weekly meeting of the Commissioners of Sewers of the City of London, held yes terday at Gulldhallhlr. De Jersey, the chairman of the commissioners, presiding—Dr. Letheby, the medical officer of health fur the City of London, reported that 2,275 lbs. weight of meat, oonsi , ting of the carcases of sheep, pigs, and calves, and a large number of jointa of all descriptions, had been seized at the different markets as being unfit for human food, on Recount of being diseased, putrid, or the animals having died from accident. He also made a special report with regard to a large quantity of meat that bad been seized at Newgate market, which was imported from Erlenge and Rotterdam, and which was quite unfit for human food on account of disease. This meat had by some means escaped the inspection at Blackwell, where it WAS landed, and had been sent up to the London markets to be disposed of for human food, bet the whole of it had been condemned and destroyed. A large seizure of meat of the same description was also made at Aldgate market on the T3rd of November, which had been sent from Holland, but which was quite unfit for human food. The whole of this meat was in such a condition that it ought to have been seized at Blackwell immediately it was landed, and Dr.Letheby suggested that a commum oation should be made to the Custom-house authorities in order that a more strict inspection should be made of the foreign meat that was landed at Blackwell. If the meat in question had not been consigned to the city markets, it was very probable that the whole of it might have been used in some way for human food. The court agreed with the suggestion of Dr. Letheby, and directed that a communication should be made to the Custom-house au thorities upon the subject. Dr. Letheby also reported a very satisfactory sanitary condition of the City of London, the amount of mortality during the week being very considerably below the average of the last five years. TuE MURDER NEAR NOTTINGRAII.—The inquest on the body of Mr. Raynor was resumed yesterday. The evidence of the medical men went to show that strangula tion was the cause of death. After some additional evidence had been taken the inquiry was again adjourned. The hat and watch of the murdered man are still missing. The pollee are actively engaged searching the premises of Watson, as also the neighbouring grounds, as yet, how ever, without success. ANOTHER GREAT FIRE AT HIII.L.—The Eastern Morning News of yesterday says:—" Hardly have the embers at the late fire in Carlisle-street cooled before the town is again alarmed by the report of a conflagration which, if happily not fatal in its results, haa, at any rate, led to an immense destruction of very valuable merchan dise. About a quarter before two o'clock the warehouses in the occupation of Messrs. English and Co., on the Gar rison-aide, were discovered to be in flames. An alarm was raised, but before the police arrived—which they did promptly, under the superintendence of luspe:tors Dorsey, Grace, and Hobson—the fire had got such hold as to defy almost any efforts that might be Made towards its suppression. The large yard and building were stored with hundreds of bar rels of tar, and the combustible nature of the material caused the conflagration to spread with alarming rapidity. The hose could not be got into play, owing to the absence of fire-plugs on that aide of the river, and the police were compelled to stand idle spectators. Two years ago the large warehouse adjoining, and now in the occupation of Messrs. Oxtoby and Sons, caught fire, and on that occasion the same difficulty lase experienced, but, the tide permitting, a couple of hose were carried across the river, and, plenty of water being at hand, the progress of the flames was retarded. This morning, however, a strong current was running, and at three o'clock—the time at which we write—nothing had been done in this direction. Inspectors Dorsey and Hobson engaged boats, and the police • waded nearly to their middle in mud, but were unable to get the hose semis, and in all probability the new warehouse.a will become a prey to the fire. A number of willing labourers were set to work, and they did good service by removing a large quantity of the tar, but there is still food for the flames, and there is no know ing where the disaster will terminate. Pails of water were thrown on to the opposite building, but as well might the attempt be made to stem the tide as to expect to subdue the raging element by this means. At the time we went to press no fire-engine had arrived on the scene, otherwise much valuable property might have been saved, for thers was sufficient water in the harbour for all purposes. It WAS impossible under the exciting circumstances to obtain any approximate idea of the damage, but it will nossmarily involve several thousands of pounds." There were three deaths from diarrhcea and one from cholera registered in Loudon on Sunday sad Monday. - FROM LAST maim isuzarra.
