A concert was given last evening, in aid of the 1 . above fund, under the direction of Mr. Benedict. It was on a large scale. The following eminent solo performer., volunteered their services :—Mademoiselle Parepa (who was unfortunately prevented by severe cold and sore throat from appearing), Miss Banks, Miss Palmer, Mr. and Madame Weiss, Mr. Wilbye Cooper, and M. Vieuxtempe. The chorus consisted of the rnenibers of the Vocal Association, and there was a complete instrumental band ; the whole num bering above 210 performers. The first part of the concert was miscellaneous. It in cluded Weber's overture, " The Ruler of the Spirits," a fine part song of Hullah's, the aria, " Madamina," from Dun Gioranni, sung by Mr. Weiss, and a performance on the violin by M. Vieuxtemps. This was &fantasia amts. 'donne°, with orchestral accompaniments, composed by himself ; • work which well deserved its title, for it was both fantastic and impassioned, and was, moreover, a mar vellous display of powerful and finished execution. It was received with enthusiasm, and the last movement, a rapid saliarello, was loudly encored. The second part emulated of Benedict's Cantata (or Lyrical Legend, as it is called) Untlinc, which, it will be remenibered, was first produced at the last Norwich Fenival,sad repeated in London at the farewell concert of Madame Clem Novelle. Taken altogether, this charming work never was better performed than it was last night. The principal soprano part—that of Undine, the heroine of the poem—on.ginally sung by Madame Novell°, was now sustained by Mae Beaks in a manner which left little reason to regret the absence of the great prime donna whom we hare lost. Miss Banks sang delightfully—her principal air, "Mark Use waves with rippling play," was as graceful as it was brilliant, and was encored with acclimation' from all parte of the hall. The other parte were admirably sung by Miss Palmer, Mr. Wilbye ooper, and Mr. Weiss ; and choruses so full of dramatic and descriptive effect received justice from the members of the Vocal Association, by whom the music had evidently been carefully rehearsed under the composer's direction. The third part of the °contort (like the tint) was misoel bu and comprised several of Mr. Mullah's best vocal compositions, ism tions ' sung by MISS Banks, Miss Palmer, and Mr. and Madame Weiss. The whole perfonmusce was ; worthy of the ounsioo, and highly satisfactory to the audience. THE PRINCE OP WALES AND THE HULLAH FUND. CAMBRIDGE, TVL9DAY. Royal Highness last evening honoured the concert of the Fitzwilliam Musical Society with his pre sence. The Fitawilliam is an amateur (university) musical society, but the present concert 118,11 on behalf of the Hullah Fund, and m violation of the rules, admission was allowed by payment. The performance was patronised by the loriblieutenant of the county, the members for the uni versity, county, and borough, and a number of the university " dons," but with all this the hall of Sidney Sussex College (where it was held) was not crowded. The price of admis sion was half -a-guinea, and had this been less, and the room larger, a larger contribution to the Hullah Fund would have resulted, but the concert had been fixed fur Sidney Hall, which too is usually made use of by the society, both on account of its favourable acoustic properties and the in terest taken by the reverend the master (Dr. Phelps) and family in the progress of the society, before it mu; known that any adventitious aid was likely to be' reudered by the presence of the Prince of Wales. ' Eventually there were about 140 persons present, and twenty more might hare been convenieutly accommodated. The performance was the Meatus& with Professor Sterndale Bennett as conductor. The principsl parts were sustained by members of the society, aids in the choruses being drawn from the college choirs. A criticism of an amateur per formance would be unfair, but we must be excused for hint ing that the performance of two at least of the lady seem tants would throw into the shade that of many of our first class professionals. A subscription in behalf of the Hullah Fund is proceeding in the town under the auspices of the members of the above-named society, and is howled with 101. by the Master of Trinity (the Rev. Dr. Whewell). Contributions towards the hitter should be addressed to the Rev. Arthur Beard, lei, Fitsvrillainpetrest.

AN UNITORTIINA'IR EMIGRANT VIDISR4-011 the 22nd of November the ship Prince Consort left the Mersey for Melbourne with a full freight of merchandise and about 100 pasiengers. After leaving Liverpool she encountered very severe weather down the Channel, as well as in the Atlantic On the 26th of November she encountered a terrine her. rime* in the Bay of Nasty, is which she lost all her topmasts, sails, and all the gear attached—the am sweeping from the deck all her live stock, fowla, sheep, pigs, &c. At the mime time one of her saloon passengers, a gentleman named Adams, was washed overboard and drowned. In this disabled condition her commander, Captain Macbeth, en deavoured unsuccessfully to make the port of Lisbon, and, the winds having driven him beck to the English coast, be put into Portsmouth, from which port he was towed to Ilouthamptoo,wiler• the vessel was discharged, repsired and her cargo restowed, and on the 16th inst. she sailed for Melbourne from Southampton, with passengers and cargo. Yesterday (Tuesda)) the Liverpool Underwriters' ABSO. elation received a telepumi from their agent at Queenstown, aiding that the Prince Consort had put into that harbour, with loin of all her topmasts, and had sustained other damage. The peasengers have therefore been 68 days since they originally shipped, and 13 days since repairing, toning Moat is the Channel. The Prince Consort was fully massed, having an ellialsat British crew, numbering 45 mess. MR. BRIGHT AT BIRMINGHAM. BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY EVENI:IO. A great meeting was held in the Town-hall this evening, at which the members for the borough, Mr. ticholefield and Mr. Bright, addressed their constituents. The MAYOR (Mr. Arthur Ryland) presided. The hon. gentlemen met with an enthusiastic rtreption. Mr. SCHoLEFIELD, as senior member, spoke first. He referred to the great increase which bad taken plain in public taxation during the fourteen years he had been is parliament, and particularly to the enormous expeaditwe on the army and navy. He believed that a considerable saving might be made on both those services without im pairing their eliciency. The state of Europe was alarm ing, but be hoped that tho policy of non-intervention would be maintained. As to a reform bill, he said unless the government introduced a measure of that kind in the ensuing session they would neglect a great opportunity, and the time might oome when it would be too late. No reform bill could be satisfactory which did not give a huge weenies to the number of voters, which did not make a material alteration in the distribution of seats, and secure a full pro tection to the enter in the shape of the ballot. (Cheers.) Mr. BRIGHT then rose, and was received with loud and protracted applause. He said he looked to that assembly with more than ordinary interest and apprehen sion. The House of Commons of late years had presented itself to them as a body caring little for the great internal interest of the country, and reeking and profligate in its expenditure. If that were so, and if he could jndge of what was passing in the public mind, he was forced to the conclusion that the question of taxation and expenditure was that to which men were looking at the present moment with the greatest interest The past year had been oneof unusual prosperity, and heavy burdens had been dc ktrne without much complaint ; but there were clog particularly in the West, which pro mised a great change of circumstances, and the question was passing from mouth to month—How long will the Chancellor of the Exchequer be able to raise seventy mil- Hoes in taxes on the people of this country? He was about to make a complaint against the governing clan, which wasthat it was guilty of a wasteful expenditure of the public resources. He was as anxious as his hon. friend that no body of men should effect • hostile landing in this country, but there were foes in their own household as well as those who were such in a political and national point of view, and he would point out sane of the moat prominent. In 1830 the ex penditure, including the cost of collecting the revenue, amounted to 53 millions, 28 millions being set aside for the debt incurred in those vile intermeddlings which our fore fathers undertook in the affairs of Continental Europe. In 1834 the expenditure fell to 49 millions. At that moment there had been an enormous cry of peace, re trenchment, and reform. They got a partial reform and some retrenchment. So long as the popular voice was so raised, the expenditure was reduced to something like • moderate amount, but as political feeling subsided and the tory party came into oak* the ex penses began to creep up ; whenever the people took their eyes off it the expenditure began to rise. In 1836 to 1841 the expenditure rose again to rd millions, and in 1844 to 55 millions, owl remained at that amount or thereabouts until 1853, with the exception of the years 1848 and 1849, when there were revolutionists all over the Continent, and our goveminsat always took the opportunity when any thing was gong on upon the Continent to ask the people for more taxes. (Cheers.) He now came to the year 1854, when the Russian war broke out. Some people had a habit of fancying that war was so inevitable, so natural, that they spoke of it just as they do of scarlatina or small-pox. (Laughter.) The cholera broke out—the Henna war broke out. (laughter.) In 1854 the expenditure went up to 6.5 i millions; in 1855 to 88 millions and a half ; and in 1856, the year the war closed, it fell to 75 millions and • half. Look at that enor mous expenditure. It was like a man taking a big house, and setting up his carriage and servants, when he had not the wherewithal to continue it honestly, but lacked the firmness to bring himself to his original and due proportion. In 1857 and 1858 the expenditure was 65 millions ; in 1859, 64 million.; and in the pest year ie would be something like 71 millions. Thus, in the 26 years which had elapsed since 1834, the expenditure had risen 22 millions. But that did not give an adequate idea of the case. In 1834 the govern. ment spent 21 millions in keeping the peace, in dispensing justice—in preparing what was necessary for the defence of the country. In 1860 it spent 43 millions for the very same purposes, being more than double the sum spent in 1834 ; and if they returned to the expenditure of that year they might abolish the income tax and the duties on tea and sugar, and at the same time a vast aum might be saved as a sustentation fund, out of which hundreds and thou sands might obtain more steady employment and a higher rate of wages than they can attain at present. Somebody —he did not know who—made a remark in the autumn that he was not in the house when they were discussing matters of a few hundred pounds. Now, he had spent week after week backing Mr. Hume in an endeavour to diminish the . . estimates, but he hail never seen in the House of Commons any stand made, approaching succors, against any of those enormous estimates for the military services ; and it was not very inviting, when he saw million running away and nobody caring for it, that he should spend evening after evening in discussing a question of a hundred pounds. But this 70 millions was something, though the House of Com moos did not believe it. He would give two illus trations of what it was. Probably there were about a million agricultural labourers in England and Wales, whose aferago income did not amount to more per bead than 25/. per annum, so that the wages of the whole body were not more than twenty-five millions per annum, being about three times less than the parliamentary votes for the year, and if they added Scotland and Ireland it was not more than half the taxes which their rulers had the con science to ask, and they bad the incredible patience to pay. (Loud cheers.) Take another illustration. In Lancashire there was the most stupendous manufacturing industry which the world had ever seen, which produced at this moment, at the period of its greatest and most astonishing expansion, 70 millions worth of yarn and manufactured cloth. Well then ourgoverning dames, our rulers, with the most docile, the most industrious, and probably the most church and chapel going people in the world, devoured every year, this year and last year certainly more than the whole pro duce of the meet gigantic industry the world had ever seen. (Applause.) How was it done? He would tell them, and also who did it ; and more, he would tell them how it happened that up to the present moment it had been done with apparent impunity. Parliament was composed of two houses, one of them wail separate from and had no responsibility to the people. The House of Com:lions was more especially intended to take care of the people, and especially of their pockets, though last year it ventured to tax their pockets with the greatest audacity. He had never heard the feeblest protest raised in the House of lords against the extravagance of the government. It was worth their while to know that with very few exceptions the members of the present peerage owed their peerage to creation within the last hundred years. The origin of many of them arose from the rotten borough system ; any max who could get four, five, or six sesta in the House of Commons at his com mand to serve the government of his day could, by ways known to such gentlemen—(laughter)—procure himself, in all probability, to be made a peer. He told them this to show that when they were asked to examine into the conduct of the House of Peers they were not to look at it en anything as old as the monarchy of England. They might single out a few families who had con; down from remote times, the majority of whom bad generally shown themselves considerate and just to the people of this country ; but all the modern peerage was bred in the slime and corruption of tho rotten-borough system, and they need not look to • house so constituted for any great anxiety to save the pockets of the nation. Coming to what was called the people's house, he believed that no assembly ever existed that was less cacti hied to govern economically than the house which calls itself • popular and representative body, though three-fourths of its members owed no alle giance to any popular constituency. John Milton, in describing the condition of the church and the nation in his day, made ue of • metaphor which was applicable to our own time. He &scribed a man who had the mister tune to have a woe on his bead, and the wen grew so large that it bad the audacity to state that it was the head, and that the heed was the wen. (Laughter.)

Additional) [TWOPENCE. to apply that metaphor to the present position of the Eng lish nation and its naval and military services. These ser vices should be the servants of the nation ; their voice as to the magnitude of thate services should be held to be of very small account ; civilians ought to determine the amount of danger, and the mili tary were only wanted when certain things were to be done which statesmen and civilians had deter mined to be necessary. But now these services had become so great that the most palatial clubs built in London of late years were entirely for their accommodation. They had also a special press devoted to their cause, and were allied with the court, the peerage, and the great territorial in terest. There was a coestant pressure upon the government which the government found it difficult to resist, and they had great power iu parliameoL But all this could not bring about this extravagant expenditure, were it not that the people were ili-informed upon these matters. The people were duped, and when a man • was duped it was easy of course to do anything with him. Having briefly alluded to the Russian war, Mr. Bright said, since the conclusion of that war, he would put it to every man present whether the most strenuous exertions had not been made by a certain party in this country to create alarm with regard to France. Now, for some yearn pat we had been in partner-Ship with France. We bad made two Chinese wars needlessly in partnership with France, and transactions bad taken place in Italy in which the policy of England had been mealy pursued. Englandwanted a united Italy, and for purposes for white SheFrasch did not want it. The French Emperor had dose sothiag actively to pro vost it, but had watched the mass of events, and so far ash, (Mr. Bright) could understand his policy was prepared to consent to the consummation when it arrived. So far the Emperor's conduct towards this country had been friendly, conciliatory, and proper. Mr. Bright next alluded to the treaty of commerce and the abolition of the passport sys tem, the advantages of which he pointed out, and asked if these were signs of war. (Loud cries of " No.") Since the days when France and England waged perpetual war with each other centuries ago, there had never been a monarch upon the throne of France who, in the same period of time, had done so much to draw the two nations together and to put an end for ever to strife between them. (Applause.) He admitted that the French government spends too mush upon her military armaments, but it should be borne in mind that the Emperor knows he has not too many friend' among the orthodox monarchs of Europe—that the English aristocracy, whose mouthpiece was the Times, did not like him or his family, and that we have in our navy 84,000 men and boys, being more than all the men and boys in the mercantile marine of France, and 50,000 more than were in the royal Davy of France. He complained that our government allowed the false statements made by the press to be repeated by public speaker,, whilst they had not the honesty and the courage to contradict them. For example, they had en couraged the volunteer movement ; some people called it mania, and others patriotism. Be would not give it any harsh names, conceiving that many had joined the volunteer force from motives of patriotism. That movement might ho regarded in two ways : either they were in danger of some stack from abroad, or they intended to raise a cheap force, and so diminish the extravagant expenditure in the regular army. As to any attack from abroad, the govern ment knew that it was the merest chimera ; but they looked to the volunteer force to create a greater taste for military display so that less pressure may be excited in favour of a reduction of the standing army. Having dwelt further upon the waste in the public expen diture, Mr. Bright adverted to the session about to com mence. He asked—Shall we have the same waste, the same fraud, the same extravagant estimates provided for and condemned by a great Chancellor of the Exchequer Let hem warn them that if the estimates were as large as thews of last session, there was some power in this coun try which intended war. Let them not interfere in foreign quarrels and nobody would interfere with them—least of all the Emperor of the French. The people of France wished for peace with Europe, and especially with England. He believed that if our own government gave authority to Mr. Cobden to ascertain whether the government of France would con seat to an amicable arrangement by which the navies of the two countries should not pea their present bound', he believed that it would be received by the French go- vernment with as cordial a feeling as it received the pro position to make that great treaty of commerce. Of course the men who suspected the Frenrh Emperor would smile at this credulity. He believed the opinion to be a sound one, but was sorry to say that, judging from the past, be be lieved that the greatest obstacles would be found on this side of the Channel to any such convention. The Emperor of course would be safer the more his people felt that they were rightly governed. He was sure the crown of England would be more safe to descend in an unbroken line to a late generation iu the same family the more the people of England felt there was great moderation and great justice ; but there could be neither without great economy in the expenditure of the public resources. He might be charged with unfavour able feelings towards royal families and to the people in au thority, but he dared to assert that the time would corns when the people would discover that they had been un justly treated, and possibly they might discover that there was no family, and no combination of families, connected with the government in this country, that was worth 70 millions a year. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Bright then concluded in an eloquent peroration, and resumed his seat amidst the most enthusiastic applause, alter having spoken for an hour and a half. THE LIBEEALM Or BRINTOL AND THE COMING HEEBIOII.—On Monday morning an aggregate meeting of the Liberal Auociatiou of the city of Bristol was held at their rooms, in Tailori-court, to consider whether any or what action should be taken on questions affecting their interests which are likely to be brought before the ensuing session of parliament. In the unavoidable absence of the president, Mr. It. Coss, the treasurer, was called to the chair, and after some discussion the following resolutions were unanimously agreed to :—" That it is the opinion of this meeting that, after the distinct avowal made by Mr. Disraeli of his intention to make the sub ject of church rates a party question, and if possible to extend and increase the powers to do all for the support . and maintenance of the buildings and worship of the epucepalian church, the time has now arrived when it become/ the duty of the present government to take up the question and carry a bill for the final and corn pieta abolition of church rates in every form ; and that our members be earnestly requested, as far as possilde, to give effect to this resolution. That this meeting is of opinion that the interests of the country impera tively call for a comprehensive measure of parliamentary reform ; and that it is the duty of the government and , the liberal party in the HOW. of Commons, without further delay, to promote the pauiug of such measure. That it is the opinion of this meeting that the present enormous and unprecedented national expenditure is uncalled for in time of peace, and this meeting begs to call upon its members meat respectfully, to use their indueime to obtain such a re duction' of our national expenses as will enable the government to propose a more equitable adjustment of the income tax and the repeal of the leper duty." It wee sub , sequently determined to hold a public meeting on the church ride questiou, and a committee was appointed to make the requisite arrangements and fix the time when the meeting shall be held, MANCHEITER CONFERENCE ON THE BALLOT.-4 conference of the friends of the ballot assembled in one of the committee rooms of the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, yesterday afternoon, between four and five o'clock. The meeting was numerously and respectably attended, 1111.11 y of the country manufacturers, who bad come to the market, being present. Sir Elkanah Armitage presided, and the deputation nominated to attend from London included Lord Teynbam, the Hon. F. H. F. Berkeley, M.P., E. C. White. hunt, Esg. and W. S. Austin, Esq. ME. MAooßzuOl LAIRD.—We regret to an nounce the death, on Sunday last, of Mr. Macgregor Laird, well known in connexion with African exploration. At an early age Mr. Laird relinquished his interest in an eaten. site engineering ertablishment in Liverpool, and was asenciated with Richard Lander in conducting the first steam expedition up the river Niger, with a view to open op the commerce of the interior. After undergoing greet hardships he returned to England in 1C32, with the few of his companions who had survived the effects of the climate. He next turned his attention to transatlantic steam naviga tion, and by his abilities and enterprise materially con tributed to the accomplishment of that great object ; subs°. quentiy he for a short time devoted his energies in further ance of the great works in prograw at Birkenhead. During the last 12 yeses of his life Mr . laird devoted his attention exclusively to those objects in which his heart had lain from early youth—the development of the trade and civilisation of Africa, having for many years advocated this as the only mar of finally extinguishing the slave trade.

CITY COURT OP SEWERS. ___._- The usual weekly meeting of the Commisaionere d the ße ir w o e lli nl ee for s in the th ei e tr G v nil a dhall l46" ; Mr twk . Deptti Pll 7 G Yesterd slifent, "' the a chairman of the commission, presided. Mr. Game, a butcher carrying on a very estensive busi ness in Cannon street , app!iia to the court for permission to erect a slaughter-house in the neighbourhood of his place of business. The application stated that the place in question was at present used as a btable, and Mr. Game was desirous of slaughtering only a portion of his stock there, and he under took to conform to any regulations and conditions that might be imposed upon him by the medical officer or the inspectors. Dr. AbiIAHAY said that if the court was justified under any circumstances in entertaining such an application as this, he had no hesitation in saying that there was not • man in the City of London to whom he would more readily accord the privilege than Mr. Game. (Hear, bear.) They had, however, for a long time been endeavouring to remove these nuisances from the City, and it appeared to him that the court would stultify itself by granting such an appli cation. He should, therefore, move that it be not se ceded to. -- - - - _ Deray lisenisor seconded the motion, and said that at a time when the City was endeavouring to diamarket New gate-market, it would be almost absurd for this court to grant its consent to an application Ince the present. The motion of Dr. ABRAHAM was then carried uoani. measly. Dr. Icrrnesv, the medical officer, reported to the court on the state of 200 houses that bad been inspected during that week, and he submitted a list of seventy-one places for mei. taryfenprovarnent in va dens particulars. He likewise reported that daring the week the officers had seized 3,6291ba, or nearly • ton and three quarters, of meat in the City markets, as mitt for human food-1,104 lbs. were seized ie Newgete. market by Mr. Fisher, 619 in Leadenball by Mr. David ' son, 1,906 lbs. in Aidgate, and in Tyler's Market and else where by Mr. Newman. Of thine amounts, 3,347 lbs. were seized on account of disease--chiefly rotten sheep that ought not to have been sent to the City markets ; and ' 214 lbs. were from animals that had died from natural causes. The mortality returns for the week are still excessively high. Instead of an average of sixty-three deaths in the week there have been 90, the same as in the preceding week. Indeed, the total mortality of the last few weeks has been 275 instead of 166, a number which is just 46 per cant. above the average. About one-third of the deaths in the week were among children of less than five years of age, and another third amass old persons of 60 and upwards. As in the preceding fortnight, the chief causes of death have been dive/weed the inspiratory organs ; M deaths were from bronchitis, 7 front pneumonia, and 10 from phthisis. Only 11 deaths were occasioned by dioceses of the zymotie class, but of these four were due to measles and three to whooping-cough. 70 births were registered in the week, and of these 40 were boys and 30 were girls.. A rather long discussion took place upon the subject of this report. Dr. ABRAHAM said it appeared to him when they heard week after week of the large quantity of diseased meat that was exposed for sale, and the dangerous consequences that were likely to result from it to the poorer classes of the community, that the court ought to take some steps in the matter, and that the names of the salesmen who bad such meat in their possession should be made public. Dr. Lrreenr then read the names of the parties, but from subsequent explanations that were made, and eve chilly as there appeared to be a good deal of di ff erence of opinion in the court as to the propriety of making the names public, it would not be fele to publish the names at present. Dr. Lethehy stated that he had taken proceedinga against some of the parties under the Nuisances Removal Act, and he asked the court to give its authority to legal assistance being obtained to support the complaints that he bad preferred. Some further desultory conversation took place, during which Mr. Newman, the inspector who bad seized the dis eased meat, was called upon to explain the circumstances; under which he did so, and it turned out that in almost every instance in which a seizure bad taken place the sales. men themeless were the parties who applied to him and called his attention to the character of the meat, and re. quested him to remove it. It also appeared that some portion of the diseased meat was taken from a slaughter e, and had never been exposed for sale at all. Mr. H. L TAILOR moved that in future the inspectors be directed to state the names of those salesmen who called their attention to any diseased meat that was in their pos. session, and that they should at the 3111118 time request the salesmen to give the names of the consignors of such meat, and inform them that if they refused to do so they would be held personally responsible. This motion was carried, mid directions were also given that the City solicitor should be requested to take the ne. emery steps to support the charges that were at present about to be preferred by the direction of the medical officer. The court then adjourned. HEALTH OP LONDON. The weekly return of births and deaths in Lon don, issued by authority of the Registrar-General, states that notwithstanding the late mildness of the weather ' the effects of the cold that preceded it are still legible in large characters in the registers of mortality. The number of deaths in London, returned for the week that ended last Saturday, is 1,783, and exhibits a decrease, which in not very considerable, on that of the previoue week, 1,926. The mean temperature of the air at Greenwich, which had been below the average on every day since the Ist inst., rose above it on Sunday the 20th, and, with the exception of two days, continued above it duringlast week. On the last two days the mesa temperature was nearly ten degrees above the average. The average number of deaths as obtained from cone. sposding weeks of ten previous years 18.51-80, and corroded for increase of population, is 1,330. The 1,783 deaths of last week therefore show so excessof 453 over the estimated number. . . The deaths from diseases of the respiratory organs, ex, elusive of phthisis were 702 in the preceding week ; they decreased to 545 li:st week. Bronchitis was fatal last week in 354 cases ; the corrected average of . corresponding weeks is 101. Pneumonia numbered 117 against an average of 97; and asthma 46 against 25. The deaths from ph till.llll or con sumption were 171, the average being 151. Half of the deaths from bronchitis occurred at 60 years of age and up wards. Whooping-cough exhibits a considerable incroue on the former returns ; for the deaths from it in the two pre vious weeks having been 72 and 83 they rose last week to 108. Nine persons, aged 90 years and upwards, are re corded, the two oldest of whom, both women, were aged respectively 96 and 97 years. Five infanta and an adult died pf syphilitic disease ; 4 persons from intemperance as the direct cause ; 2 infanta were murdered. Of 21 deaths from burns and scalds were caused by the clothes taking fire. Of the remaining 14 it is very probable that many others occurred in come nuance of clothes taking fire, though the circumstance is not stated in the returns. A man who died from this cause received the injury when in a state of intoxication. /Co less than 18 children were suffocated, 16 of these in bed. A canna°, aged 18 years, died in St. Mary's Hospital from frost-bite. Last week the births of 1,034 boys and 944 girls, in all 1,978 children, were registered in London. la the ten corresponding weeks of the years 185160 the average number was 1,749.
