CUMULI:eI ACCIDENT.—On Saturday morning, about half-past II o'clock, an accident occurred to • fashion day attired female, while aamndiog the stop, leading from Tooley-street to the foot of Loudon-bride. The lady la qutstion bad nearly readied Iry top of the tlght of Mew, when bar foot caught an the front portion of her crinoline. and mho fell violently forwmd, writing her bead against the Iron railing, and Maldive • by no noting slightent upon the chin Strove she could recover herself or any one go to her aid rho rolled down asveral of the steps, and was covered with mud. It was foxed, however, with the exception of the cut on the (lan, that the victim of crinoline bad not received soy material Jabal. She speedily sought ming* in • cab, and waa driven of amidst Ma laughter of some jtemialle bystanders. ATTEMPTED MURDER NEAR NOTTINGIIAM.—Om Saturday evening. at about half-past ten o'clock, • man weld Shaw, living st the village of Burford, near Notting ham, wee proceeding home to hie lodainge, and was on a flat which divides Old Buford from New Bamford, when be wan en ddenly felled to the ground by two tom, who sprang from belled the hedge. Shaw seems that he had a good sum of mangy by him M the time, and oleo • parcel cordoning paper sag eavolopea, which she robbers took away with them, Moving ths poor fello w quite lasenoibla and 'steering ia hb bleed. Re was found some time after by • labourer who was passing, and who removed him into • public-house close by. • surgeon was at once sent for, and Shaw we. found to have anstalmd rovers injuries to his skull and forehead. The on ',Manses man is not able at primal to give any further 'comae of the matter. THE BURNS CENTENARY. THE CRYSTAL PALACE. At 12 o'clock the great organ pealed forth a strain of appropriate mimic, and a curtain being suddenly let fall, the whole of the poets' court and its precious contents were at once disclosed to the company. A loud cheer resounded through the building, and immediately the boys' band of the Caledonian Asylum played en inspiriting Scottish air. From that moment until two o clock, when the regular concert began, the sound of national airs might be heard in every corner. The young Cale donians seemed to be omnipresent, and their zeal left nothing to be desired ; indeed it was with difficulty they could be restrained during the very few moments which were occupied by Mr: Phelps in reading the prize poem. Then there were relays of pipers, and a military band, so that nothing was wanting in the way of appropriate scowsories to the festival. In the concert a Mr. Mac Devitt made a creditable first appearance, and Misses Dolby, Lizzy Stuart, Raneford, and Madame Poem, were enthusiastically applauded in their ballads. Miss Stuart wore, with good taste and dis cretion, a very elegant tartan dress, and the coinpli. mentwas fullyappreciated bythe audience. After the first portion of the concert, preparation were at once eommenoed for reading the poem, andit is needless So add that this was a moment of great excitement and expectation. Mr. Grove appeared upon the plat form holding a mysterious packet, and received a distinct round of applause. Then the work men proceeded to cover the front rail with scarlet cloth, which, when properly extended, showed la the centre the word " Silence," printed in large white letters. This was the signal for & general laugh, but the hint was at once taken and obeyed. Then Mr. Phelps came forward and had a hearty recognition, which was succeeded by a death-like silence as he pro ceeded to open the large letter, which had been with due form handed to him by Mr. Grove. An other moment and he raises his voice—he has been requested to announce that the author of the suc cessful poem is "Da Craig, of Ranelagh-street, Pimlico." Now there is a general buzz and universal surprise. Professor Aytoun had been the favourite, " and "ha Craig " was entirely • " dark horse. " Who is Isa Craig ?" Is it a man or a woman ?" " Is he here ?" and a thousand similar observations, ran round like lightning. Then the outsiders got boisterous, they had heard but indistinctly, and were clamorous for a placard. The fortunate poet of Pimlico had a dozen names in as many minutes, until at last the placard appeared, and order was intend. Mr. Phelps reading left nothing to be desired. Accus tomed to speak to large audiences, the eminent actor pitched his voice so that it reached the extremities of his immense circle, and his slow measured accents gave its full value to every separate word. The reading was loudly cheered. At its termina tion a loud call was raised for the author, who, how ever, did not come forward. After a short interval the concert was resumed, two or three well-known Scottish airs were sung, the whole audience joining in the chorus with excel lent effect, and shortly afterwards the company began rapidly to disperse. We were informed that the second poem, which narrowly escaped being first, was the work of • youth named Myers, who is not more than fifteen years old. DINNER AT THE GUILDHALL COFFEE-HOUSE. Last evening upwards of 100 gentlemen, chiefly from the land of the poet whose birthday centenary they had met to celebrate, dined together at the Ouildhall Coffee house, King-street, Cheapaide; Mr. Hannay in the chair. The c ustomary loyal tuts having been given, enlivened with appropriate song,. the Chairman propoesd in very able speech, "The Memory of Robert - Burns , ' wham many sterling qualities and few failings he compared to a rich Bad of corn—wherein a few weeds had grown up, standing out the move conspicuously from golden hue of the grain, and the gaudy show of the poppies with which it was here end there dotted. He believed that posterity would yet do justice to the memory of a man who, living at a day when men and manners were much less refined than now, wu one of nature's true nobility, for his poetical works formed only one of the phases In which his character might be viewed with dean tare. Many other Mesta followed, including " The Memory of Wallace, Bruce, and the Patriots of Scotland," " The Memory of Knox and the Scottish Covenantees," " The Mammas of Scotland and of England," " The Peasantry of Scotland," " The Lamm," and " The Pres.," all of which were duly responded to, and a very haTIIIOII6OW evening wee concluded with the national finale of " Auld Lang Syne ' " at the " wee short boar." We most not omit to mention that 'the veteran Templeton kindly came from the London Tavern to sing one song of hie countryman Burns. He gave " , My Nannie, o,' most sweetly, and was rapturously LIVERPOOL The celebration of the Borne centenary in Liver pool bud night was a complete sumer. Upwards et two thousand tickets were sold for the festival in Si. George's Hall, where the Crystal Palace prize poem was read, addresses delivered, some of Barns' songs nog and also played on the great organ—a magnificent ball terminating the procsediors. Amongst the various relics of the post exhibited at this festival were • chair, candlestick, and other articles belonging to Burns, sad s, fee simile of his letter in which be prophesies his future fame. These articles woe exhibited by Mr. Jos.

THE LAM DAYS OF BURNS. The following recollections of the lest days of Bunts were written by was who knew him well, and were published many yeses ago In the Loodoe Magazi,le : " The first time I ever saw Buena was in Nithedale. I WI, then a chile!, but hie looks and his voice cannot well be forgotten ; and while I write this I behold bins es distinctly as I did when I Mood At my father's knee, and heard the bard repeat his Tens o'Sbasster. He was tall and of a manly make, his brow broad sad high, and his voice varied with the character of his inimitable tale; yet through all its variations it was melody itself. He was of great personal strength, and proud too of elleplaying it ; and I bare seen him lift a load with ease, which few ordinary men would hare willingly undertaken. " The last time I raw Burns In life was on his return from the Brow-well of Solway ;he had been ailing all spring, sad summer bad come without bringing health with it ; ha bad gone sway very ill, sad he returned worse. He was brought back, I Wink, in a covered spring oart, and when he alighted at the mid of the street in which be lived, he could some wand upright. He neelsed his door with difficulty. He stooped m*, end then we a visible change in his looks. &see as, Whk it not unimportant to know that be warn at that den deemed Is a blue cost with the manes wakens pantalets" of the volunteers, and that his seek, which Was loatheg le be short, mused hie hat to turn up behind, in the sewer of the shovel hate of the epireepal clergy. Truth obligee me to add that be was not fastidious about his dream; and that en officer, curious in the pawed appearance and oppliesei of Isia company, might have queetiotied the mill- tory nbny al the poet's clothes and disp l ay °clone' mahm of rhyme, and the poet ado more of clarity his commander's verse than the other had to curds' when he impaled the clothing and arms of the care less bid. " Front the day of his return home till the boor of his timely death, Damfries was like a besieged place. It was known he was dying, and the anxiety, not of the rich and the bused only, but of the mechanics and peasants, ex- ' moiled ell Wird Wherever two or three people stood toge ther, their talk was of Bum, and of him alone • they spoke of his history—of his person—of his works—of hie family— of his fame, and of his untimely and approaching fate, with • warmth and en enthusiasm which will ever endear Dum fries to my remembrance. All that be raid or au raying— the opinions of the physicians (and Maxwell was a kind and a skilful one), were eagerly caught up and reported from street to street, and from home to house. " His good humour was unruffled, and his wit never for sook him. He looked to one of his fellow volunteers with a smile, se he stood by the bedside with hie eyes wet, and said, John, don't let the awkward rquad fire over me. He was aware that death was dealing with him. He asked a lady who visited him, more in unoeritythan in =hil t what commands she had for the other worts ;he repren with a smile the hopes of his friends, end told them Os had Lived long enough. As he drew near a elms, the eager yet decorous solicitude of his fellow-townsmen increased. He was an exci•enten, it le true—a name odious, from many aisociations, to hU countryman—but he did his duty meekly and kindly, and remand rather than encouraged the dais of some of his companions to push the law with severity; helms &redoes much beloved, and the pardon of the Scotch for poetry mule them regird him se little lower than • spirit inspired. It is the practice of eh, was* tae Of Dens fries to meat in the streets during the hours of remission of labour, and by them means I had an opportunity of wit- Deming the general solicitude of all ranks arid of all ages. His differences with them in some important points of human epeccilittion and religious hope were forgotten and forgiven; they thought only of his genius—of the delight his compositions had diffused—and they talked of him with the same awe as of some departing spirit, whose voice was to gladden them no more. Ru lest moments have never been described; he had laid his bead quietly on the pillow awaiting dissolution, when his attendant reminded him of his medicine and held the cup to his lip. He started sud denly up, drained the cup et a gulp, threw his hands before him like a man about to swim, and sprung from head to foot of the bed—fell with hie t ans down, and expired with a groan." EMNBuncit.—(l3y Electric and International Telegrspb.)—The Burns Centenary Festival took pleat in the Corn Exchange, Rdinbtugh, last night. Mr. Duncan Madmen, Br-Provost, yielded. The speakers were, the Ron. Lord Nem% the Ron. Mr. Melville, the Lead Provost, the Rev. Aluander Willem, Mr. Moran Knox, Mr. J. B. Gough, aro. The hall wee crowded. About 3,000 gnome wars present, and the speeches ware well melted. Great enthusiasm prevailed. THE CALEDONIAN SOCIETY OF LONDON.—When the Bret note of preparation for commemorating the birth of Robert Barn was sounded in the north it was taken by the Caledonian Society of the metropolis with characteristic warmth and energy, and preparations were made to do all due honour to the memory of the poet. The largest room of the Lon don Tavern misdeed upon as the place of meeting, and there, accordingly, a very numerous and respectable company of ladies and gentlemen sat down yesterday to dinner—a con siderable number of permus anxious to be preterit having been disappointed from want of accommodation. The room was very tastefully decorated for the occasion with Sags and insignia of various kinds. Behind the chair was a framed likeness of Burns by bimmyth, and several very interesting relics of the poet were exhibited by Mr. W. Chambers, of Edinburgh, who appeared as one of a deputation from the body of gentlemen by whom the centenary festival has been got up in Edinburgh. The chair watt occupied by Mr. R. Marshall, the president of the Cskdonlan Society, who pro peed the toast of the Diehl. A variety of other toasts fol lowed—each ea "British Literature," coupled with the name of Professor Masson; "The Fine Arts;' " The Edinburgh Deputatioe," coupled with the name of Mr. W. Chambers, who replied, and described the nature of some of the relics of Barns which he had brought for the inspection of the company; " Our Guests," replied to by Mr. Charles Knight ; The Presi dent," " The late President, Mr. Mecham" "The lmdiss." " The Lad a Cakes," " The Lead we Live la." dn. Mr. Templeton, the celebrated vocalist, who has now retired Into private life, favoured the company with several of the •01110 of Bums, and Miss Li/Zi• Stuart gave leselgmlsesioial &salaams. The dinner, which was served up In the usual style of the London Tavern, embraced some favourite Scottish dishes, among which worthy of special notice appeared a huge haggis, sent from the neighbourhood of Kirk Alloway, " warm reekin, rich." During diaper the company were solaced with the sounds of the bagpipe, and when it is men'ioned that not fewer than live pipers, blow ing might and main, marched at one time round the tables, some idea of the harmony that prevailed will be conveyed to the readers. ST. ItIAMIN's HALT..—Here sim the " Borne Cen tenary" was celebrated last night in verysimple and un pretending fashion. Mr. Angus Fairbairn and the two Misses Bennett, all attired in Tartan habilimente,_ gave the popular entertainment which is known es "A Night we Burns," and oonsists of a short biographical account of the poet, liberally Interspersed with his most familiar songs. OIFORD.--A large dinner to celebrate the cente nary of the " Immortal Burns," took place in the Masonic Hall, this evsaing, at half-past six, over which Mr. Al•Laren presided. DErrroap.—A public dinner s in honour o the centassry of Boras took place at the Admiral Rodney Tavern, Deptford. WooLwicii.—A public dinner in honour of the centenary of Burns, took place last evening at the Ship Hotel, Woolwich. The guests comprised 150 respectable in habitants of the district, including several non-commissioned officers of the Royal Artillery, who were decorated with Crimean medals. The chair was occupied by Mr. T. Ding wall, head master of the presbyteries schools who in pro posing " The memory of Robert Burma" delivered en nu preemies direst, which was warmly responded to. The Royal Artillery band, by permission of the commandant, was present, and performed several appropriate *elections. A CLERGYMAN'S OPINION or BVENS.—The Daily m Scotsan, of Monday, says The following remake, which are Mt tut as those with which the Rev. Dr. W. L. Alexander closed his lecture yesterday, will be everywhere read with dieguet at their spirit and ooetsrapt of their shal lowneas la there not an idolatry of gamut among you ? What is the homage which thousands in this city and throughout the country are going to pay to the memory of a men this week but something of this kind ? I aro not about to detract from the genius of this men in what I am going to say. If he had been a mighty prince who bad delivered a nation from a cruel bondage, and raised it to a high condition of liberty and civilisation—if he had been a discoverer in science and philosophy who bad con ferred the benefits of wealth and social improvement upon the world—l should consider the homage about to be paid to him,. both foolish and wrong; but when he was a poem who never loved a women but to betray her, and who never made en acquaintance among either young men or women but he injured and corrupted, I am at a low to explain the infatuation that has fallen spas my country. England would not do so for her Milton —Germany would not do so for her Goethe—ltaly would not do ea for Tease or Dante; but Scatehmen are about to do this p er t B man who was fez beneath either of these great eons ot genies. I cannot but regard this conduct, in every view of it, as both foolish and wicked.'" - • IluaNs' PoriansowL.—A London correspondent of the &stamen calls attention to this interesting relic of Robert B us —hls punchbowl of Inverary marble—ha qnsatbed to the British Masses by the late Mr. Archibald Beetle, M.P. for Paisley. lie mestere regret that the relic ' has not been placed in a more congeals] spot than where it now Is; for the bowl, in its moat position, scam con • demned to oompirstive obscurity. . THE PROCTORIAL DIFFUSE AT C.AMORIDOE.— I The Rev. F. J. Jerosson, M.A., Fellow and Amistant I Tutor of St. Cdtterinee College, Cambridge, and one of I the let* Pro-Proctors referred to in our article of Monday last, has published a Temkin of the bop, arming eeaeotliily with our own account. He states that neither he nor hie brother pronto!' chaired • heavier punishment than !wicke d,* for a limited period. " The present controversy," he adds, "is really between the antiquated views of discipline still to be found in our body and the growing opinion that if our university is to stood well in the face of the country she must foster • higher moral tone than hitherto. There has long beta a murocer of disap probation—beard, let me add, nowhere more distinctly than in the nuke of our students themselves—at the light eat • oration in which sins of impurity ere suppned to be held by university authorities. Throe who are on the side of moral reform, supported, se they know th e mselves to be. by the large and itiluential body of pure-minded and nprieht young men in our collegeo, and by the good within of the fathers and mothers and eaters of England, feel that with the open ing of • new academical era, the moment hie CODA for re deeming the character of the university as one of the greet centre' of morel as wall as of intellectual training, By o , 4's help, the opportunity shall not be too ; and I fully believe that at the meeting of meniterief the eraiste, summoned by the Vim-Chancellor on the l ist of January foe the Mr condom of this question throe who ere reatdos ad vocates of academical refor m,i and who have the deepest wel fare of the university at heart. will not be 'allot as the side of that strict morality which our new statutes it I faithfully and honestly carried oat, give us the power al sislacidniag." MUSIC. THE VOCAL ASSOCIATION. Preparatory to commencing another season, the plan of this association has undergone several alteration,. It will continue to be, 114 it has been hitherto, a choral society on • lugs scale, cunning chiefly of amateurs., and under the able direction of Mr. Benedict. Effectual measures, we WM, have been taken; to improve the quality of the chorus, by greater strictness in regard to the sdmission of members, and by a system of preliminary examinations, conducted by Mr. Benedict himself, in order to test the qualifications of candidates in respect to vocal powers and general musical acquirements. The concerts are placed on a new footing. They are to be twelve in number during the ~OS, and of two kinds, dries and earns concerts, to take place alternately, or nearly so. The first (en undress concert) having taken place last evening; the second (dress) to take place on the 9th of Febroary, and so on to the Bth of ;June, which is the date of the last concert of this season• The sub scription for the sesson,which is exceedingly moderate. covers the whole twelve series; and extra tickets for trines concerts will also be issued. The two kinds of concerts will differ very ranch in quality and in amount of attrac tion. The undress =meets (as appeared from that of last evening) will consist of solo and part music, sung by young performers, chiefly members of the association, with no other accompaniment than the pianoforte. The erns concerts (sa we learn feels the programme of that of the 9th of February) will be on an extensive Kale, with • great orchestra and chum, and the must eminent performers of every kind ; while the selection will embrace every variety of music, both vocal and instrumental. The canoed' an held in St. James's-hall. Last night's concert was very well attended, and seesawed considerate interest. Of the young ladies, members of the easociation, who sang solos, all were promising, and several were much more. This ems particularly the case with Miss Chipperfield, who sang • very fine air by Vivenot (a com poser unknown to us), accompeniedonthe violonoelloby Herr Daubert, an excellent performer; with Miss Mann, who sang Bishop's " Tell me, my heart ;" and with Miss Gresham, who sang Weber's air from the FreiscAutx, . Uad ob die Wolke," also with Herr Daubert's violoncello accompani runt, in addition to the piano. Several part songs were extremely well sung—among them was Benedict's beautiful " Forest Home," for female voices ; Meyerbeer's Choral Hymn, "The Lord's Prayer" sung by the whole choir, without ac companiment, was an excellent performenoe—correet, smooth, expressive, and admirably in tune; no small achievement, coneiderieg the difficulty of sustaining • long piece of com plex harmony without any instrumental support. Miss God dard, who (albeit her name is not Arabella, but Susan) is a pianist of • high order, played • solo, consisting of short pie es by Chopin, Schumann, ►nd Enterer; end Herr Daubed performed a solo on the violoncello. GALLERY OP ILLUSTRATION. The new Panorama now exhibiting by Mr. Brewer, at the Royal Gallery of Illustration, will well repay a visit. It oonsists of a selection of the most wonderful natural phe nomena to be found on the AUl2Tiettl continent. Bat few parsons on this aide of the ocean can ever hope to ass the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky, probably the mat marvellous, as it is the most extensive, subterranean formation in the world. This remarkable production of nature extends over a, considerable area, and he. passages through it, the length of which baa been computed at six hundred miles. There is but one known en trance to the cave, whilst in the interior there are 226 known avenues—the longest of them being 16j miles. This New-World Avernus was first discovered in 1802, sad it has since then been explored in every direction with all the seal of curiosity for which the Americans are so Lamm The explorations have led to the discovery of grottoes, halls, domes, and arches of great beauty and extent, end when lit with torches and Bengal lights, the effect is described as something magical—the immense pillars of stalactite glitter ing as if incrusted with diamonds. The panorama exhibits no lees than 33 different views in this cave, which, though they do not exhaust the subject, convey a very vivid impression of its "gloomy grandeurs." "The gothic Chapel," " The Star Chamber," " Echo River," "City of Tombs," " The Chief City," and " Cleveland's Cabinet," are amongst the views which will aware most attention. The artist is stated to have been 17 days in the cavern whilst sketching the scenery. " The Falls of Niagara," " the Prairies of Illinois," " the natural Bridge of Virginia," and " Mount Vernon," ere the other objects illustrated, and though very interesting and well executed, they do not strike the beholder with the wonder of the first portion of the exhi bition. The " Prairie on fire" must however be excepted, for few mina can impress with so much awe as one of those wide-spread conBsgrations which is here exhibited with vi vidness and terrific effect. The tea of the panorama In bringing ander the public eye these grand phenomena of nature which can never be adequately represented by descrip tion, are extremely valuable, and exhibitions of the kind ought to be encouraged much less for the entertainment than the instruction they afford. Specimens of the rocks, and of the white eyeless fish obtained from the waters of the Mam moth cave, are exhibited at the Gallery, and will repay inspection. DEATH or MR. BASIL BAKER, THE ACTOR. — Yesterday morning Mr. Basil Baker, one of the last remain ing actors of the old school, died somewhat suddenly at his tandem). in Grove•street, Liverpool, at the age of U. Mr. Raker was for many years connected with the Liverpool theatres, though he was also a deserved favourite with the theatrical public of Dublin and Mencheater. He was also for several years a most useful actor in the Lyceum Theatre in London, ring_the tigime of Madame Vestris and Charles Mathews. Mr. Baker, previous to h as death, which was caused by rheumatism of the heart, had only been absent from his duty at the Theatre Royal about a week. Mr. Baker, who was lyric* married, leaves a widow, three young charm, a married daughter, and a son in the Customs at WRECK OP THE HAMBURG BARK Dlalia.—The Diana, from Hamburg for Cardiff, in ballast, drove on shore in Smckeleon Bey, near Cotkbuah station, during the violent gale of Sudsy. The Diana sailed from HarnUrg on the 27th of December, and proceeded on her voyage as far as the Lizard, when she war compelled by heavy head gales to bear up for some port of refuge. On the 22nd of January alas made St. Katherine's light, where they laid the ship to until daybreak to endeavour to get • pilot on board; but seeing no pilot-boat, she stood off the land, and aterwards again stood in for the land, and on sighting the mutt tacked to sea; but found she would not weather some b roken water ahead, which proved to be the Pole Sande, off Chichester harbour. She then let go both anchors, but soon afterwards the starboard chain parted. The ship still drove Mimed. the beach, and the fore and main masts were cut away ; and she stranded et 1 p.m. amid • tremendous surf. Measures were immediately taken by Commander Wollaston, R.N., with the comignerd under his command, to assist the crew in 'anthem as speedily as possible. They were landed by their boats, which were stove in and otherwise damaged own the process of beaching; the lowering of the last boat which left the ship, containtog the chief mate and three of the crow, was nearly attended with a serious toes of life. The foremost tackle by some means became fouled, keeping the boat's bow suspended, with her stern in the water. The violent jerking and straining on the boat's bow tore out the stem, sod precipitated the crew into the raging waters alongride. Two of the comtguard mete, under the personal directions of Lieutenant Wollaston, R.N., with ropes made fast round them, the ends being held by those no shore, risked into the sea, and, at the peril of their own lives, Deiced hold of the men and with the arsistance of those with the hauling lines succ eededi in b r i n ging the whole of them safely on share. Chevalier V andru Bergh, the Hamburg Consul at Portsmouth, was promptly on the spot, and after visiting the scene of the wreck, and peeing the mow safely landed from their int-dons poeition, lodged them at East Witteriog. The ship lies about 300 yards below label water mark, her heed➢off seaward, her fore and mainmste and rudder gone, sternpost touted, and apparently part of her keel carried sway, and bilged on both aides. Itrcovrar or 8201.—We noticed in the Bulletin of last week the fact of a gentleman from PorteOlassow having, while in a house of ill-fame in High-street, bees robbed of 9281. ; and that in connexion with the robbery several parties of questionable character were in custody. The detectives aims then have been engaged is &dive Inves tigation into the circumstances of the robbery, and these efforts have not been unrewarded . By the exercise of a little professional diplomacy it was discovered that part of the money was hidden, and on Saturday night last, ?CU!, in compeny with Sub-Inspector Smith, found of the 9281., 8201. in • pickle bolds at the root of a hedge by the river side, near Dslinsrnock. The discovery does no little ore& to the professioual shrewdness of the officers, and the e displayed—which, by the wa, we do not 1=1::: ever been surpassed, and but rare ly equalled by the famed London pollee—deserves some tangible acknowledgment.— Glasgow Bulletin. CITY 00.11Y13810N OF SEWBIIB. Yesterday a court was held for the despatch of D blic bunkum. Dr. LZTRIBT'S annual report of the sanitary , condition of the City wee preessited, from which it appeared, ' That in the pet year there were 3,184 births in the City, 2,893 deaths, tad 1,689 marriages. All them numbers are below the average for the oorreeponding period of the last ten years. The falling off in the several numbers has been very general throughout all the districts of the City, but it hes been most marked in the Central division, where from • slow but steady emigration of the wealthier climes, and the encroach ment. for public improvements en the domiciles of the poorer, the fixed population has been greatly reduced. In the other districts, where these Influences have not been so largely at work, the reduction of the death rate has no doubt been named by the exercise of smithery powers. Of the 3,184 children been in the course of the per, 1,643 were make, and 1,641 fame*, proprtiom which ere r 1,066 males to 1,000 females. The 2,883 deaths in the City were distributed se follows.-1,116 occurred in the Western Ulnae, 703 in the Eastern, and 1,065 lathe Central. Thera numbers are In the proportion of 26 per 1,000 of the inhabi tants of the first named district, 24 per 1,000 of the wood, and nearly 19 of Ithe third, the general total being about 22 per 1,000 of the entire population. 21 per cent. of all the deaths occurred in the summer quarter, 24 per cent in the spring, 26 in the autumn and 29 in the winter. The high mortality of the but na med season is due, not merely to the trying [Ousted of the weather, but also to the circum stance that this is the season when there Is always • large congregation of the poor in theSity, and with it the milaof overcrowding. Beddae which, the condition of the weather does not pmt of those manor, operations which, me so largely employed in the summer and autumn. The table of the principal MIMS of death showed that the number of deaths from violence has riseit from • general average of 130 per annum to 167 ; those from ',Minna from 51 9 to 623 ; end chime from measles and the whooping-cough and coup from 192 to 277. These lest, in fact, are the diseases which have been unusually prevalent during the year and although they are not all preventible to a like extent, yet there can be no doubt that in every cam their force can be lemened by the aid of sanitary science. The chief increase in (Immortality from zymotic dioceses has been noticed in the East London Union, but phtbisie has prevailed to the largest extent in the western district.. The mortality from other diseases has in almost every instance fallen below the average, for the deaths from fever were but 88 instead of 150; those from &whom and dysentery among adults have fallen from 163 to 38; scarlet fever, from 103 to 60; smallpox, from 24 to 6; and erysipelas, horn 26 to 19. Altogether, indeed, as regards the deaths from symotic diseases, excepting them from croup, measles, whooping-cough, and diphtheria, which have so largely exceeded the average, there has been a felllng off from an seeress of 456 to 201, or to leas than half. This is strong proof of the value of the sanitary measures adopted, for nothing speaks so forcibly of the general condition of a place as the death rate from them maladies. Daring the year 6,340 inspections of housed were made, and 2,446 visits to the common lodging-houses of the City. The number of orders limed for sanitary improvement amounted to 1,721." Upon the motion of Mr. Boss, seconded by Mr. BAIALEIT, the report was ordered to be p rinted and circulated among the members of the overt. lINTROPOLMAN MIT OTT INPROVIMENTB. The Cmutitmate having given a general statement of the humid boluses of the court for the past year, Deputy RatiteoN, a member of the Metropolitan Board of Works, said that he had endeavoured, although ineffec. Nally, to prevail upon the board to carry out necessary im panel's/ate in Newgete.street at their own txpenae, so that, es Emitters stood, if they ware done at all, although they mme 'metropolitan improvements, they must be done at dm Impulse of the City ratepayers, who, at the "e time, bad to beer one-tenth par; of the expense stall Improvements effected by the board in the metropolis y. whether the City was benefited b them or not. " That it be referred to the Improvement Com mittals to =udder end report what further steps should be talma with newt to the future improvements which have been agreed to by this court, and towsrda the cost of which it was expected the Metropolitan Board of Works would have contributed one-third of the amount, bat which they have decided not to do by their resolution dated the 21st of January." (Hear, hear.) Mr. Roes seconded the motion, which woe supported by Mr. H. L. Taylor, and carried wlenimovaly, it been under stood that thinim portant aubject would be fully debated on the bringing up of the report. OMNIBUS SUBWAY COMPANY. The engineer brought up • report stating that this com pany proposed to construct a rnbway, starting at the Royal Exchange, passing through Cheaseide, the north side of So. Paul'ss,, Ludgate-11111, Fleet-street, the Strand, Charing cross, Parliament.street, to the Holmes of Parliament, having stations at every quarter of a mile throughout ate length. It was to be constructed at but a moderato depth beneath the streets, sou not to interfere with the gas and water pipes, and was to be in the centre of the roadway, to avoid in terference with vaults and cellars. (Laughter.) The width of the carriages would be only sufficient to carry two persons abreast in the first class and three abreast in the second class carriages, two line* of rails being laid. The project, if rortitd out, would involve the re-construction of the whole of the sewers throughout the entire length of the subway within the City, as well as that of many others in collateral street*, and would cause daring its construction much temporary inconvenience. The scheme would require the careful attention of the Corn mission before any decision could be palely given with re spect to it. The report was adopted ; and after the transaction of some routine business the court adjourned. HEALTH OF LONDON DUBIN; ME WEEK.
