ELUTE OP LONDON ZWAUNG MI WES% The Return of Births and Deaths in London, Moved by authority of the Registrar-General for the week ending Saturday, January I. mares the total number of deaths registered in the metropolitan district' in the lost week of the year was 1,494. In the ten years 1848-67 the • average number of death" in the week. corresponding with last week was 1,315; but as the deaths in the return for last week occurred in a population which had Increased, they should he compared with the overage after ft is raised pro tutionslly to the Menses, aco orreetion which will make it 1,446. The romparieon shows that the deaths of last week exceeded by 4R the number which the rate of mortality as derived from the fifty-second week of previous years would have produced. If the deaths in London Let week had been aecordisg to "the healthy rate" of mortality derived from certain selected Ensile!' districts in the last quarter of the year, they would have been 705 ; and the creme above this point which the true number exhibits le 729, and repreeents what may be termed the unnatural part of the mortality. Fatal roses of dismal of the cymotir oleos numbered last week 400; the corrected average for corresponding weeks being only 298. Measles, soulatina, whooping tough, and typhus all exhibit an bureau on some previous week.. Baleful= was fatal in 136 cues. Five of these occurred in the Kensington Town sub-district; 6 is that of Obeid church, blarylebone; 6 in Kentish Tows; 7 in Poplar. This disown continued very fatal is the Pascua district. Measles carried off 53 children ; it prevails chiefly in the north and central districts. Whooping cough carried off 61 children; of theft in the east sub-district of lelington. Of the 62 deaths front typhus, one occurred in Butcher-row, Deptford, in a Unity romaiating of Wet persons, of whom seven have been attocksi by the disease. The premises are described se being in a filthy condition. Last week the deaths from bronchitis were 167, the average being 134 ; and those from pneumonia (inflammation of t h e lungs) were 122, the average being 106. Nineteen women died last week from diseases incidental to childbearing. Three persona died front internperauce. The deaths of one man and three women (widows) occurred at the age of 90 years and upwards; their respective ages as re gistered being 90, 93, 96, and 100 years. But the Registrar believes that there is good ground for questioning the alleged age of the centenarian. _ . - 'Last week the births of 931 boys end 1,013 girls, in all 1,994 children, were registered in London. In the ten cos respooding weeks of the years 1848-67 the average number was 1,641. THE IRISH SECRET SOCIETIEB.—The Belfast Northern Whig states that on Monday night the polka, from information which they received, succeeded in making another arrest in that town of a person believed to belong to an illegal society. About sewn o'clock Heed-constable Madders and Constable Canning, attired as elvtlfaes , visited the hoc= of a person named Bernard Boyle, residing in Bwreek-street. The prisoner ia, with hie brother-in law, the joint owner of a small public-house. When the police entered they at onee arrested Boyle, and proceeded to search the premises. The house, both front and rear, wee closely watched in the meantime by a kegs party of the constabu lary, but the only capture made was Boyle himself. We have rem= to behave that no documents of any importance were found in possession of the prienner. tinder an secort of some thirty or forty police, fully armed, and an immense crowd, the prisoner was taken to the police-office. Au ex amination will be held to-day, but of course will be private. It is rumoured that the authorities are in possession of ex tensive information with respect to secret societies in this town. CHILD BURNING AND ITS PREVENTION.—Lbst evening Mr. Wokley held en inquiry at the Elephant and Castle, Camden Town, on the body of a Beely-grown nude child, ties years old, named Alfred Thomson, who wee burnt to death on Christmas morning. The evidence of the ciliated mother went clearly to show that the child was well taken care of, arid that the clothes became accidentally ignited. Mr. Cosier, surgeon, detierited the Mllo'l.l which had caused death. The usual remedies had been applied. The Coroner remarked that there was no earthly chance, from the first, of saving the child's life. The application of science in euch • case war en evil; the unfortunate deceased—a remarkably fine child—had sustained sufficient injuries to kill ten children. It was a fret that most of the deaths from fire occurred from flame.. This could be madly prevented, if parents, nurses, and others, who had the care of children or young people, would but take the simple precaution, after the articles of clothing were washed, of merely dipping them fa an enti-Mflaniumble solution. From hie (the Coroner'e) many years experience he would smart that if this simple and Mexpensice process were adopted It would be the means of saving the levee of at least 1500 children Ina year. A verdict in accordance with the medical evidence wee unanimously agreed to.

Thikin;;lvent, • butcher, in the New Cut, Lambeth, was opposed by Mr. Dowse for Mr. Weaver, a meat sideman in Nowgate-market. Es wee supported by Mr. Macrae. The complaint urged on behalf of the opposing creditor was, that the insolvent had closed his dealing with him by ordering 601. or 601. of meat within • week or ten days in November last, • short time before he petitioned under the Protection Act, and Instead of paying him the following week, he sent a part of the meat to hie brother's shop, and the other part he had sold and appropriated to his own pur poses. Ile subsequently declined to make any arrangement with the creditor. Mr. Dowse submitted that the insolvent had commithd a clear case of fraud, and that the court could not continue the protection. Mr. Maass urged in mitigation, that the heat of the sacomer and the competition in tho neighbourhood had en tailed great lore's upon the insolvent, and had time been given be would have been able to have paid his creditora. The Chief Commissioner said it woe a use of the grossest fraud, without one extenuating Mrcumstanoe. The insolvent need not apply for a locg time. No day was named for the final order, and the protection wand. (Before Mr. Commira( oiler Murphy.)

Gorge Fred(' int Boaloft as, 24, a well-dressed young man, pleaded guilty to two charges of forging receipts. Mr. Platt was instructed to prosecute:. Mr. Metcalfe. who defended the prisoner, meld that he was in the 'melee of a gentleman who was in the habit of receiv ing • good many money orders, and he had obtained posses sion of revers) of these inatrumente, and had obtained the money by signing his wearer's name. He believed, from his instructions, that the prisoner, who received a salary of only 15e. per week, was =aloos to ingratiate himself with and to make a show to a young lady to whom he had since been married, and took the money with that object. The learned scumsl added that a portion of the money was expended on the purchase of a borne and chaise, and they had been given up to the prosecutor. The Recorder sentenced the prisoner to twelvemonths hard labour. John Francis Gelling, 38, erne indicted for feloniously cutting end wounding Johanna Girdling, with intent to do her grievous buddy harm._ _ _ Sharpe proeecuted; Mr. Tindal Atkinson defended the prisoner. Toe proeecutrix and the prisoner in this cue stood in the relation ut man and wile to each other, but it appeared they had been separated for two year.. On the day named in the indictment they met accidentally, and the prisoner wamed hie wife to accompany him home, but she refused to do so. A sort of scuffle took place, during which the prosecntris re ceived a alight injury from a knife, but she admitted that the prisoner In the first inatanas attempted to cut her @bawl, and that he had wounded his fingers In so doing, and there did not seem to be any evidence to show that the prisoner in tended to inflict any serious Injury upon his wits. In easy,' to questions put by Mr. A , kinaon, the prnsecutrix admitted that very shortly before the occurrence took place, she bad gone to the re.idenos of the prisoner and removed every article of furniture it contained. The jury found the yrwoner Gritty of unlawfully wound ing, and he was sentenced to stz months' Imprisonment and hard labour. lica;TrrTllenry Cory, 27, clerk, pleaded guilty to two charges i.l forgery. Mr. Sleigh conducted the prossention on behalf of the Rankers' Association ; Mr. Robinson defended the prisoner. The learned counsel for the prosecution said it we. a painful thing to have to prefer so merlons a charge spinet a young man who we. undoubtedly reepectably connected, end who bad conducted himself with considerable gallantry during the recent war to the Crimea; but there was too much reason to believe that he had been carrying on • regular system of forgery since hie return to this country, and the protection of the public therefore rendered it necessary to In stitute the present proceedings. The prisoner, since his re turn to England, It appeared had been going about the country lecturicg upon the Crimea, and he bad ingratiated himself into the confidence of a gentlemen in the neighbour hood of Croydon, to whom he had uttered the cheque. in question. Oas of these cheques •ppar tly bore the signa ture of the pioneer's father sod mother, snd was represented to be signed by Mr. Ashby, a milk; sear Croydon. Inquiries were made which led to the discovery that the chequer were forged, and the prieooer was then taken into custody. Mr. Robinson addressed the court in mitigation of punish ment, mod said that the prisoner had conducted himeelt with great bravery at RabicJays, and he was also at the battle of Inkermann, and hd a horse shot under him. He had gone to the Crimea es a volunteer during the Russian wer, and at its conclusion he was discharged. and be bad no doubt that since then be had got into difficulties, and this had led to the oommission of these offences. The Recorder said he regretted having to pass sentence upon a person who had at onetime no doubt been respectable, and who sr emed to have behaved bravely in the setvilie of his country. The offence, however wa• one of a very serious character, end appeared to have been committed with great deliberation ; he therefore felt it to be his duty to order the primmer to be kept in penal servitude for four years. Witham Edward Clarke, 19, clerk, and it Clarke, 40, father end sun, were charged with forging • cheque for 731.4.. 2d., with intent to &fiend. The younger prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Sleigh, who appeared foe the prosecution, said that after a cereittl examination of the depositione, he was of opi nion thut the evidence wee not sufficient to support thechar,te velem the older prisoner, and, as the son had pleaded guilty, be felt that the porpmes of kudos ware answered, and ebould retentive withdraw from offering any evidence In support of the charge against the father. According to his instructions the case wee of a very painful and duoreming character. The older primmer formerly held the position of a reepi , ciable and reeprixed tradesman in the City of London; but, by a eerie, of unforeseen eventa, he bed been mimed to the ewe of the moot abject sod revere dieters+, and be helievi 3 there was no doubt that the eight of the diorites and misery under which he saw his father and We family labouring had ope rated upon the mind of the younger prisoner, and that he committed the offence solely with a vier to relieve that distress. lie was instructed to put the oourt in pomession of these facts, and he raid he was pure that his lordship would dad with the primmer as the justice of the case required. Mr. Robincon, who appeared for the younger prisoner, said that be had very little to add to the kind ataiteuent that had been made by his learned friend, and be could only my the he believed toe young man at the bar would never have committed this offence but for the dreadful state of distrem in which ha iiew his lather and hie family were existing. The Recorder, eddreseing the younger prisoner, said he was not *ware that be had ever barn.* been called upon to per intend In ► ease that gave him so much pain, and he hoped be waajustilied in parsing a lighter sentence than was ever inflicted in a came of this description. He then sen tenced the prisoner to six months' hard labour. A verdict of IVot Guilty wee taken as regarded the father, and he was (Wdened from custody. The cam of the two men, Higgins and Davis, who are charged with • onnsilracy to defraud • Osman named Gruneberg of money and bills of exchange, bee been re ' moved by certiorari to the Court of Queen's Bench. Georgo John Stow, 27, sad John Brown, 29, mere Ind ;riled foe a Mareriary in a beee , shopiu Hill-street, Walwortlt. Mr. O'Connell prosecuted : the prisoners wire defended by Mr. Utley. The evidence clearly established the guilt of the phonate, and the jary convicted them both. Evidence was then given that both prisoners had bees several times convicted of felony, end had been sentenced to penal servitude and transportation. One of the prisoners obtateed his liberty fn IBM under a ticket of have, and the constable stated that ever lace be had been at large be bad got his living by thieving. Bode prisosees were meowed to viz yews' penal servitude. Ellen Clu,ay, 33, an Irishwoman, was charged with wilful sad corrupt perjury. Mr. Sleigh was counsel for the prosecution. The charge arose out of an inquiry that took place before Mr. lignewd, at the Worship-street Police-office, in which the present prisoner charged a Jeweea, named Sarah Levi, with stabbing her with a knife. It appeared that the pri soner bad been employed as a charwoman by a relation of Mrs. Levi, and that some suspicion was entertained of her honesty, in 0.0801111(113,0 of which she was not employed any longer. Shortly afterwards, Mrs. Levi happened to go to the house of an acquaintance Darned Hart, and she there found the prisoner engaged at work, and she communicated to Me,. Hart the enspicton she entertained of her. Accord ing to the case for the prosecution this put the prisoner into a violent rage, and she rushed towards Mrs. Levi with the intention of doing her some injury, and in no doing she fell against the door, and cut her wrist very BOVE rsly with the head of a screw that was sticking out. It mined that after this the prisoner made a charge against Mn. Levi of having stabbed her with • knife, and she wee taken into custody and examined before Mr. Hammitt upon that charge, end the prisoner, upon beiog sworn, stated that Mrs. Levi, upon the occasion of their meeting at Mrs. Hart's, tcok a knife from u:,der her apron and inflicted the wound in her arm with it, and upon this evidence Mrs. Levi was re manded, and called upon to find bail for her appearance to answer the charge. At the suhaequent inquiry, however, It was made clearly manifest that there was not the slightest foundation for the accusation, and in the result the prisoner wee committed upon the present charge. These were the main facts of the case, but the surgeon who examined the prisoner's aim, stated that the injury she had received vas a very serious one, and that it might easily have been mistaken for one that had been inflicted by • knife or any similar weapon. The Recorder having summed op, The jury, after some deliberation, .4equitted the prisoner, and at the same time expressed an opinion that there was not the slightest foundation for the allegation that Mrs. Levi had made use of a knife on the occasion in question, end that the prisoner, from the serious nature of the injury, might have been mistaken as to the teenage in which it had been occa sioned. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Serjertnt.) Airts Omni, 25, married, was indicted for robbery with violence upon Patrick KeHard, and stealing from him a watch, value 41., and one shilling and sixpence. Mr. Way prommted, and Mr. Sharpe defended. It appeared that the prosecutor, a provision dealer, wee between eight and nine upon the evening of the 20th of last month pealing through the City, when the prisoner come up and begged for some trifling relief, telling him a long story about the state of want which she and her family were in. He out of kindness took her into a public-house end gave her some beer, and bad not long quitted the house when she snatched his watch from his pocket, and at the 'me time handed it to tome man, who knocked him down and ituitently ran off, but the police came up and secured the prisoner. The jury returned a verdict of It was then proved that in August lest year the prisoner bad been convicted of a somewhat Mailer watch robbery from the permit of a French waiter in the City. The court sentenced her to four years' penal servitude. THE POLICE COUBTS. MANSION-HOUSE. The Lord MayorreqneWeltbi;&preee would acknow ledge the receipt of U. 6.. from F.

It sp• peered that on the previous evening the prisoner called for somoliquor at the bar of the Eagle Tavern ' in the Mile-end road, in payment for which she tendered a spurious five shilling piece. When its quality was detected she tendered another, observing that one was as good as the other, end eo it proved, for both were worthless. The landlord questioned her as to the possession, upon which she replied, •• What le that to you P' and was then given into custody, but not any other bad money could be found upon her. The prisoner now said that to clear herself from the one offence she must criminate herself. The fact was that while In the company of a young man who was inebriated a short time prior to entering the tavern she robbed him of the two coins, of mule cmceiving they were genuine, red she believed he was now in court.

COTTON GOODS.-11d.theliReTER, JAN. 4.—The market exhibits the same buoyant tone we unfired last week, and prices are again advancing. A very active demand in yarns for India and China has been experienced, and price. are Id. to Id. per lb. dearer than last week. Cop and nod yarns for wanufecturers are Id. to Id. (lever. The demand le good for all matkete, and buyers find thertweing diffioulty in placing order., owing to the extent to which spinners are pre-engaged. Clothe are elect in active request, at the extreme rates of last week, and conviderable orders are still giving out, notwithstanding the difficulties interposed to an early supply by the inade quate rate of production. These remark. apply to India clothe. There to a fair demand for other foreign market.. but the trade to India for the last three months Mut absorbed three-fourths of the whole production for export. The fact that the exports to Calcutta in Detention were leas than in November nen evidence that the goods could not be bud to export In the letter month, and the etippliee for the meow month are likely to be much in anear of the requirement* of trade. Dileeere. Du Fey and Co., in their monthly circular, • remarking on this ehNee , , otioerve That trade follows war in an old meting which has been exemplified on various OCCOA01:11% end also not very long ego by the Crimean war. I Other climate have, however, been et work in India to anima ! late the trade with that vast empire. We believe that the extravagant prima yrs paid for produce, unnaturally reined by over-trading in 1551, have beets inanely instrumentel to creating an unusual demand for our motel' fibrin.. Sanding. of bullion, both fur the balance of trade and for the regetre manta of the army, which had to bo guldenly increased by argue thirty or forty thousand men, attended in that luxuriant country by many hangers on, all consuming, at a war rate, the products of the earth and oommoditith of the loom or hands, the vending recklessly the treasuroe, wherever 1 1 to be found, iodifferent to whom they belonged, have all tended to the pante end. Add to these the money spent in railways and roads, by which the forwarding of cotton geode to the interior is facilitated; and, lastly, the neglect the war ha. engendered, in cultivating cotton in moms districts, generally worked up in the country for home consumption—end we bath at leant the chief cement which explain the extraordinary export trade to the East. Will and can this lest P le the natural question of all, fur whether en gaged Incommeree to the went, both", continent, ortothenortb, it is a natter of the utmost importance to avvertain whether the exports to the cant can possibly go on at thin rate. Si far experience has but too often shown us that one extreme begets another, that the Immo. of Manchester are able of ovar-euppli iug any market, and it is nothing new to beer notions expreseed on the ion of the producing class, that the demand will heneeforth be larger than the 'weraehop of the world' eau natality supply. We know, however, too little en yet of what India can do; and while we name the 1 . 0114 of the raw, let us &leo owe the pros of it. We hear front a veined friend of 0ut..., and ens who to not prone to exaggeration, while he is emetic illy engaged in the trade, the benefits of which he hoe largely and deservedly shared, that India would, for some time to come, end at a certain price, take the bulk of our produc tions In goods suitable for the Engem. markets."

The market sub. sequently became del:Jammed, and it was found that a love r scale of prices was necessary to enable the trade to work up to advantage the large stocks then in existence ; we mew peently returned in March to within a fraction of the pri m current on the let of January. In April moderate rates again produced demand, and a large businees 'prang up, which continued with very little variation in Price till August, when the unsatisfactory result of the European moult& I became known, and a slight advance took pltiee. 7 a timber, and the early part of October, continued won., ml short exports from China produced a considerable ris . etttd No. 3 Tsatiee (new silk) reached 21e. 6d. per lb., et, n a pause took place.
