W. BUIUSICX, Grawbbenaaa. Wee. satmeseet DRAMA. ST. JAMES'S. The Aare, in which Mdlle. Rachel appeared Let evening, is the best known of ell Racine's tragedies, and that in whin► the actress has achieved her greatest trinnphs. If we were Waned to be option, we might question the justice of the decision of the public in both eases. It will be enough to say with regard to the tragedy, that Racine, with two models before his eyee—a tragedy by Euripides, and one by Seasca—both on the uswe subject, has written a worse tragedy thaa either. With respect to the acmes, all that seed be 'midis, that perfect sa is her enunciation of the sharacter, there aro other parts is which we prefer seeing her. Still there can be no doubt that Rachel's Phan, as an effort of histrionic art, is utterly Deland all praise. It is from the very fact that the represratatioa is so terribly true that the first objection WWII. Racine has gone far beyond his ►ncient models in representing the illicit passion of Piedra. He has brought out into the broad sunlight that which the ancients would have shrouded in mystery and uttered in whispers. When we read his play, the effect jars upon the sense. But when the whole parka of the play is brought before us with an intensity of which the world before Rachel never dreamed, the effect is crashing. The instant that you see her, you know that she is bowed to the ground under the consciousness of some dreadful ►in, which makes her life hateful to her. You are quite pre pared to hear something terrible. You an not at all sur prised to gad that she burns with a consuming melon for her husband's son. Nothing less could make her betray that unutterable longing for death. " Soled je a rieu vow pear la deriders foie."

Edmond Bowe, porter of the Westminster Hospitel, proved that Constable Simnel Duman, 693 A (one of those whose number had been given), was an in-patient in the hospital, and in a very dangerous state from an attack of typhus fever. Sergeant Hasry Smith, examined by Yr. Ellis—Had been 19 yeses in the force. For the last 14 years had been em ployed in the detective part of the force. Was on duty in Hyde-park in plain clothes. Apprehended David Dalton for stealing a watch. It was between sin and near the old tree. Saw Dalton take the watch, and immediately took him into custody. He cried out, "He is going to take me for speaking." The mob cried "Rescue." The prisoner wee twice rescued. Witness finally succeeded in taking him, bat not till the coat was torn off his back, and he was seriously hurt. Dalton bit hies in the arm. There was a num ber of respectable penese in the crowd. Daltonwas convicted, and sentenced to six years' penal servitude. Saw stones throws. One struck a female in the face. Wu obliged to strike Delon ones in self-defence during the struggle.

Mr. Robert Hartwell, printer, who had been already examined on the part of the complainants, was recalled,with reference to the hurdle breaking and throwing. He stated he sew the hurdles broken which were referred to by some of the polite witnesses. The hurdles on the north side of the footpath were broken down by a large number of persons standing on them to get • view of what was going on ; after tide they were farther broken by the crowd trampling on Oen.

LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2, 1855. THE EAST INDIA COMPANY'S FAREWELL DINNER TO VISCOUNT CANNING. Yesterday evening all the Terrines@ of the London Tavern wen bought into requisition to do honour to Vie eosin Canning, the ININMHS Wag the customary farewell banquet of the Homearable Zest India Company to their newly-appointed Governor-General, previous to his depar ture for India. The banquet was of the moat magnificent description, and non than (tedium pane had been takes to make the downtime worthy of the occasion. The stale cues were all richly carpetted and lined ea sash side with rue exotics, and the reception-room in which the guests Ina went led was quite regal in its impunities. The magnifiesna carpet, which bad been manufactured at Tammy re:primly for the Dale of Buckingham, on the oteasloa of the Queen's visit to Stowe, covered the floor, sad the niches were filled with rare statuary, alternated with the choicest producta of the conservatory. The grand saloon was brilliantly illu minated with wax, and the tables were covered with gold and silver plate of elaborate workmanship. A pleasing proof of the advantage of more intimate intercourse with Frames, the CUM& hod of tans, we. given in the abut damn end graceful arrangement of the foal decoration, every table being abundantly supplied with natural dowels, fancifully arranged, and giving, in their bright colours end fresh perfume, a delight:al and novel effect to the erraegi o ., 'nests. The dinner itself was worthy of such accessories, and the wines comprised all the rue vintages which Mr. Bathe prudently reserves for great ocosaioas, such as the state dinners of the honourable company. The company was exceedingly numerous and distio guished, and amongst the principal guests we noticed : Viscount Canning, the Lord Chancellor, Duke of Argyll, Marquis of Lansdowne, K.G., Earl of Harrowby, Viscount Palmerston, G.C.8., Viscount Harding., G.C.8., Earl Granville, Deputy Chairman, Marquis of Charles:de, Bail Cowper, Rill Somen, Earl Bruce, Viscount Sydney, Right Hon.

On the removal of the cloth, the CHAIRMAN (Elliot M'Neghtsn, Esq., chairman of the Company) gave, with appropriate observations, the health. of the Queen, Priem Albert, and the rest of the royal family, after which be pro- ceeded to give the tout of the evening, the Health of Vis count Canning, the newly appointed Governor-Genera of Inks. (The toast was received with loud and general cheering.) Lord Chairmen and gentlemen of tbi board of directors, I am deeply tensible of the kind Dad flattering manner is which this toast has been proposed, and of the 'neon/ging reception which has been given to it by your guests. It is never an easy task adequately and becomingly to express one's thanks for kindness which far exceeds one's merit and expectation, more especially when the favour conferred carries with it an amount of trust and responsibility which the boldest could hardly look upon without alarm. (Hear, bear.) Were Ito give utter 'ace to all my feelings is askeowledging your kind -001111 I .k.. 1.1 lay oajooir MO suspicion ot waning to dwell en matters agreeable to myself, of putting out of sight the more serious ceremonial of the morning, and of forget ting the weighty cans which most soon follow in the prose cution of the trust with which I have been honoured, and of which the bare apprehension is sufficient to crush anY rising emotion of gratified unity ambition. (Haar, hear.) But lam sot open to say such thug*. I can truly say that the kindness which I have received from you, Mr. Chairman,and from your colleagues, has not created any delu sion u regards myself, for whether I look at the magnitude of the task that await' me, or the talents of the distinguished men who have been my predecessors, I am painfully sensible of how inadequate the labourer is to the great work which your kindness has placed in his hands. (Cheers.) I know not what may have been the feelings of others, on former occasions like the present, and filling the situation which now I have the honour to fill, but for myself I can now say with truth, that the com pliments and congratulations I have from time to time re ceived on this event have seemed to me to be hardly suitable to so serious an occasion. (Hear, bear.) lam not ashamed to confess that there are moments in which I am tempted to shrink from the respoosibility that awaits me, while I hope that such a feeling is not incompatible with an honest and faithful determination to discharge my . - duty. (Loud sheen.) I am certain that it is uol inconsistent with tha determination to devote all the suer glee of my mind, every minute and suety hour of my time, every thought and every inspiration to the discharge of those pledges which I have this day accepted at your hands. (Hoar, hear.) Sir, it would be ungrateful in me did I fai! to admit that there were some considerations that tended to reinsure me, and to encourage a in the hope that I may be the iastrantent of some usefulness in the sphere to which my destinies are about to be transferred. You have already assured me this day of what you rightly described as the gm serous confidence and co-operation of the Court of Directors. I thank you for that assuracce, and I rely on it implicitly, for I know that the body of which you are the head are, wherever they bestow their confidence, no niggard, in sae• portieg those who serve them honestly and faithfully. (Loud cheers.) I feel that I can also rely on the cordie' support and sympathy of my noble friend at the head of the government, and of all those colleagues with whom I have had the proud satisfaction of serving as • minister of the crown ; but above ell I delight in the co-operation—fur on that I must daily and ►only rely—ef those two admirable bodies, the civil servile and the army of India. (Load cheers.) I hardly know whether there is any feature of one government, any portions of war Institutions upon which Englishmen may look with more honest exultation than those two noble branches dour Indian service. (Renewed cheers.) The men of these branches have done much for the advancement of India, and have aeLt forth from their rank. men who were efflonst in war and peace, in numbers of which any monarchy iv Europe might be proud, and who have leagued their countrymen from the im putation formerly, sod not unjustly levelled against them of dealing emnstimes too harshly with those whom they were bound to succour and protect. Sir, it is the possession of such men that enables you to exhibit a spectacle unequalled In the world's history, that of 160,000,000 of people submitting in peace and contentment in a country teaming with Wealth to the government of strangers sad aliens. Bat your yoke is so easy, and the security so great, that them is no government of a native prince that can for • moment imparts with it. (Rear, bear.) With such choice of instruments for the person in whom, with the sanction of the crown, is vested the chief responsible government of India, there can be no *sense for failure or shortcoming. Re has but to choose fearlessly, without favour, on public, not private grounds, and he is sure to be well served. It Is perhaps no great bout to make, but I may state that I leave Wes shores unenenuthered by a single promise or . _ _ pledge to any aspostent, and that I have - n• ' claims to meet on those posts of trust and honour of which yon make me the repodtory, except those of persons who shall prove themselves but able by their talents, character, and ex perience efficiently to serve their adopted countty. (Cheers.) I know that the members of the two services to which I have (abided will unreservedly give me their aid, and cheer fully respond whenever I all them into eonacil. I know not what coarse events may take ; I hope and pray that we may not reach the extremity of war; I wish for a peaceful time of Aloe, bat I cannot forget that in oar I adiaa empire, that greatest of all blessings depends upon a greater variety of chances and a more precarious teaure than in any other quarter of tits glob*. (Hear.) We mast not forget that in the sky of India, mew as it is, a saran cloud may arise ►t fleet no bigger then' a man's head, but which, grow. leg gradually larger sad largos, may at last threatea to burst sad overwhelm us with rain. What has happened once may kappa again. The disturbing causes have &abashed sertainly, but they are not dispelled. We have still dis contested and heterogeneous peoples united under oar sway; we bays still aeighboare before whom we casual altogether lay aeide our watchfulaess ; and wa have a frontier oondgaratbra that renders it pomible that in any quarter, at any nrosneat, amen of collision may arias. (Rau. hear.) Besides, se intricate are oar relatioas with some subsidiary states, that I doubt whether is an empire so vast and so situated, it is in the power of the wisest go vernmsat, the most peaceful and the most forbearing, to command peace. Bat if we ea not command, we can at least deserve it, by taking ears that honour, good faith, and fair dealing are en our side ; and then if, in vita of as, it should become netatteary to strike a blow, we can strike with a clear conscience. (" Hoar," and cheering.) With blows so dealt the straggle mast be short and the issue not doubtful. (Hear, beer.) But I gladly dismiss from my mind apprehensions that may not be realised, and joyfully recognise a large arena of ;costal usefulness, in which I hope for your kind sada tuteand co-operation. The maintssanse of the revenue sh d solid and whelesoleldedßriße ezteagen *df !On works, and the completion of thoselines of social sad corn. mercial intercourse now in progress, will be objects well worthy of oar attention—those peat operations necessary to protect us from the dread efforts of drought—and lastly, the education of the native population, and u a necessary consequence the opening to them of public employment , ' --all these things present a large field for peaceful triumph, long enough for • life, gnat enough for the mat insatiable ambition. (Choirs.) In such • field En glishmen may be giants for good or for evil ; but for my part, I shall be well content to take up the course which has bun commenced by Lord Dalhousie, sad if possible to carry out his views. (Hear, hear.) The tribute which has been paid to my noble friend is no more than his due, for against trials and discouragement; of which the world knows little, he discharged his arduous duties with an ability, constancy, and courage, which are beyond all prole, making both you, gentlemen, and the people of India largely his debtors. (Hear, hear.) I must not sit down without returning for myself, Si an individual, my acknow ledgments for the very gratifying allusion which you, sir, have made to times long gone by, when it appeared probable that the name which I am proud to bear might become identified with the government of our Indian empire. The topic is one to which ! should not Imo adverted, as the event referred to unused more than thirty years since ; but sines you have alluded to it, I will take leave to say that the recollection of that is en inspiration as strong as would rouse the energy of any man in his struggle for success, and that I shall indeed consider them is a blessing on my work, if it be granted to me to justify by my own acts the prefe rence that has been shown to the name I bear, and to vindi este my right to bear it. (Cheers.) I have no occe•ion to detain longer, you, sir, or the guests who have listened to me with so much indulgence, except by repeating my thanks for the kind and very encouraging reception I have met with, and to couple my thanks with the expres sion of an earnest hope that when the time has arrived when ft shall be my duty to reader up my trust, I may be able to revert to this time end theme marks of confidence without feeling that they were either undeserved or misplaced. (Ohms.) The noble lord having again thanked the WWl man and company, resumed his seat amid loud chews. The next toast was 'inn Army and Navy." Sir C. WOOD and Lord HAZDINQI respectively rotataed thanks. The Citsiniesie then gave" Her Majesty's Ministers." Lord PALMZINTON, in returning thanks, observed that although at all times the responsibility of administering the affairs of this country was great, it had never been greater than at the present moment. (Hear, hear.) But there was one part of the empire in which the cores both of Sovereign and Ministers wire light—and that was the por tion administered by the gentlemen at whose hospitable board they were then assembled. (Chain.) He congratu lated the Court of Directors on their selection, and said it was a great gratification to his noble friend's colleague to know that although they were deprived of his society, he wes about to be removed to a sphere If such intended useful ness. Having warmly eulogised Lord Canning's ability, firmness, and aptitude for the government of a great empire, the noble lord remarked upon the swim fact that whereas of old all civilisation came from India, through Egypt, now we, who were then barbarians, were bring ing back civilisation and enlightenment to the parent scares. Perhaps it might be our fate to confer on the countless millions of India a higher and holier gift than any mere hams knowledge, but that must be left to the hands of time end the grediel improvement of the people. (Cheers.) The noble viscount concluded by proposing, with a warm sulogiuns, " The Health of the Chairman." The CnaramAN returned thanks. The nest tout wu " The Board of Control." Mr. V.

On the 26th July the Vegetarian Society held its eighth anniveriour meeting in the Town-hall, Salford. In the morning and afternoon a large number of friends of the muse from all 'au of the country met in conference; ad dreucs were delivered by several gentlemen ; and a number of resolutions were pseud bearing on the future progress and development of the movement. A banquet intervened between the two meetings of the conference, and at six o'clock in the evening about 160 persons partook of tea. Jamas Sistraox, Esq.,J.P., of Foxhill Back, presided at the evening public meeting, which, like the other meetings, was held in the Salford Town hall, and was attended by many in addition to them who had been present at the con ference. Amongst the pagans present WIN:—Ald. Hervey, Sallord; Messrs. Wm. 0. Ward, Birmingham; F. Towgood, London; Jobe N jun., Boston; G. Dornbusch, Lon don; J. H. Nelson. Manchester; J. Wrigley; 8. Pope, Manchost,e; N. Oran, Birmingham; Mrs. James Simp• son ; Mrs. Smith, Olargew ; Messrs. T. H. Barker, Man chester; J. Cunliffe, Bol•on ; James Oulu% Manchester; 11...b0rt Milner, Manchester; James Harvey, Manchester; 3.0. Palmer, Birmingham ; Wm. Oldham, Manchester ; Joha Andrews, jun., Leeds; Wm. M'Oowen, Liverpool ; and Simpson Bootees, Maseru:stet. The room was tastefully decorated with Bowers and evergreens, with busts, and with appropriate mottoes. Mr. Stetson, in l's opening remarks, said that the object of the vegetarian movement was very much raison dorstood. It was opposed that they wished to abridge the 'lnform of society, whereas their true design was to increase human happiness—not to take asything away, but to add to that which enabled a man to feel at ease with himself and happy in every circumstance of life. Ths proof of the ad. vantages of the system over those of the mixed diet wee demonstrated by the fact that nine-tenths of those who, having been meat eaters at first, have become convene to vegetarianism, had come to the practical conclusion that It was a better system than the other, and remained in the practice of it as a habit of life. There was no self-denial in vegetarianism ; on the contrary, it increased the resources of diet, and increased gustatory eujayment in its practises. Mr. W. 0. WARD, of Birmingham, said he had gone through seven years of toil and excitement, as a commercial traveller, in all seasons and weathers, and had never fouod his vegetarian diet fail him. He stated also, in the course of his speech, that vegetarianism tended to render strong drink distasteful to its practisars, and thus contributed to the proems of temperance. Mr. Nargamizi GRIFFIN, of Birmingham, was the next spoiler, aced gars his testimony as a hard-working man (in the heavy edge-tool trade) to the advantages of vegeta rianism. Harder work than heavy edge tool making, he said, there was not anywhere ; not a man in England did more of it than he did, and he had never been beaten yet. Cold water with Scotch oatmeal in it was his drink while ' working.—Manchssfer Bremner.

(Stamped ld. Additional.) WOPENC E. THE REGISTRAR GENERAL'S ANNUAL REPORT. This morning the 16th annual report of the Regis trar Gomel of Births, Death', and Marriages in England was binged. The total number of marriages registered in England during 1863 was 164,520 ; births, 612,391; deaths, 421,104. Of the 164,520 persons whose marriages were registered, the precise ages of both parties were specified in 92,326 in stances. It appears that 30 women were married at the age of 15; 176 at the age of 16; and 922 at the age of 17. Twenty is the favourite age, as many as 46,937 having found partners at that period of life. It is rather remarkable that at the age immediately preced ing, eta., 19, there were only 6,615 marriages. Fifty of the fair sex were married at the mature age of 66, 16 at 70, 3 at 76, and 2 who had reached the patriarchal term of CO, contrived to enter a second time—for they were widows—the matrimonial state. Of the men, 6 entered upon the respon sibilities of wedlock at the age of 16, and 33 at the age of 17. Twenty is also the popular period with men, the marriages at that age being 43,151. The oldest ►ridegrooms were 80, there being 14 at that age, and 37 at the age of 75. The latter appear to have been widowers. Twenty-one husbands of the age of 20 and under 26 married wives aged 16; 107, Wives aged 16; 4,798, wives at 19; and as, husband that youthful age did not shrink from marriage with a lady of 65. 133 at that age married wives 3.5 years old. There is a case of a boy of 17 naming a girl of 15; and of the 14 old men who married at the ego of 80, one ob tained a wife aged 30. Two old men, upwards of 76, were married to wives of 25, rad four at 70 found wives no older than 20. Four wires of the age of 20 and under 25 years married husbands aged 16. One, who owce to the age of 30 mar ried a husband of 18 ; one of 50, a husband of 19, and two of 60, husbands aged 20. 3,900 bachelors were married to widows; 7,816 widowers to Winters ; 4,260 widowen to • widows; 76,350 bachelors to spinsters. Out of a population which in 1851 numbered 17,927,669, there were in 1853 39,763 illegitimate births (occlusive of still born), 3,166 of which were in the London division. The division of England most prolific in births of thin description is the north-western, including the populous manufacturing districts of I leoash;re. In the latter consiy alone there were 5,568 such births registered. The nest to this is the West Riding of Yorkshire, in which last year there ware 3,374 illegitimate births. In Rutandahlro only 46 of such births were registered, and in Huntingdon shire 96. BEER TR4DB PROTECTION SOCIETY. Yesterday afternoon, the twenty-first anniversary dame et the Boumllers' Proteetiaa Society took plain at Ike Idgb keg Ikea Tamen, Idiegtsa. It was very nume ral* alleatled; not mak Isle tkaa a thousand persons, pevbaely, were present. A greet•peedea or the company Maud together in the large roam; Kr. WILL., brewer, of Chelsea, occupied the chair, being supported by many re spectable members of the trade, es well as by 'aren a iteammina _ Atter the customary loyal and patriotic toasts had been duly honoured, Mr. Jelin BISHOP, the secretary of the society, made a statement, for the twenty-first time, as he observed, of its proceedings mid actual position. He said the only object which the beersellere sought wee, that they should be allowed to conduct their business upon fair and equal terms, like the raemben:of every other trade, with credit to them selves and advantage to the public. He congratulated them, therefore, that not •single act of parliament had been passed during the last ten or twelve year., in which, so far as the sale of beer was concerned, they were not recognised as hay leg equal privileges with others who sold the same article. The principle which they desired to enforce wee just this— out whatever re,ulations parliament might think fit to im pose upon the sale of beer, the beereefien' trade should be eableet only to the same regulations as the !teemed victu allers. This principle had obtained the approbation of almost every member of parliament who had attended to the subject. In the year 1838, it was true, Lord An Brougham, who had beam himself instrumental in ttls leaikelelertlism theta change wee coming for them, sad that they had embarked in • sinking ship; but at that time the committee of this society exerted themselves so effectually that, instead of a shipwreck, the trade gained some little additional privileges. In 1840, a bill we, passed by which they wen released from magisterial control in fixing the hours, and also from the interference of the mum informer, and from some restrictions of licensing. That, toe, was owing to tae persevering efforts of the coos mines of this society, and since that year until 1856, the general interests of the trade had been going on pretty well. There had been much for its advocates to do, never theism because every new member of the legisla tors ;mooed to think this subject was a fit one to try experiments noon, Two parliamentary inquiries had taken place lately, end there was now a prevailing opinion, in which he (Mr. Bishop) quite shared, that it was likely a fall and complete alteration of the existing system of licensing would shortly be effected. Of course the mer turas taken in that direction required to be very care t ully watched on behalf of the trade, and the committee had taken care to have them watched. Having read to the com pany the recommendations of the committe, of the House of Commons laat session upon the licensing of public-house', Mr. Bishop then referred to the act of last session for the cluing of public-houses on the Sunday, which had been found so inconvenient in its operation that already steps were being taken to remedy the error the legislature in that instance had committed. He explained the effect of the alteration to be made in the law of the Sunday sole of liquor', by the bill which had just pared through the House of Commons. Those engaged to the beer trade, he said, were anxious that they should be enabled to give the publics whatever accommodation was needed, but they did not arrogate to themselves the right to dictate the precise regulations it might be expedient to adopt. He next mentioned the asylum established by this society at Peckham, where a refuge was provided for thirteen aged end Infirm retired members of the trade. It wet a very pretty structure, upon the society's own free hold ground, in which a neat bedroom and sitting-room were provided for each of the occupants, with kitchen and every domestic accommodation. The society had bus enabled, likewise, to supply its aged residents with eosin se well as household furniture, but it was necessary M go somewhat farther, and afford them something to eat. This might be done if every member of the trade, in additionlito the ten shillings which he subscribed to the society, would sob scribe five shillings to the asylum fund ; end he appealed to the benevolence of the company not to let the inmates of their asylum starve there. In conclusion, be proposed as a tout, "The Beer Trade Protection Society, and Simon to the Licensed Beersellers' Asylum Fund. ' He then read a list of subscriptions and donations. The " Health of Lurd Monteagle and other parliamentary friends of the beereellere trade," was proposed, with a tea happy to the courtesy and attentive hearing which they had always obtained from his lordship. The next nest was that of the brewers who had aided this society • but it was romarked that the society had never 7et receive d mach encouragement from the twelve great London arms, and that some brewers seemed to hold back from it on account of the rival interest of the licensed victuallen. The CHAIRMAN, in acknowledging the toast, said that he could not admit the truth of this last observation, for he had brought two licensed victuallers, in his own carriage, to the present dinner. _ _ Mr. BT•LLwoon then proposed as a toast " The Liberal Public Press," and acknowledged especially the merits of those free•teede journsla who advr , ^ated the principle of free trade in beer, as in all other commodities. The evening was agreeably spent i■ listening to music, or in strolling through the garden, and was ended with • dna. THE GREAT BABY ON HIS TRIAL. The Great Baby is pat upon his trial.

I would on no account concede that permission to any per you be so kind as to state why, Mr. Clamp? W▪ illingly. Because 1 have presided for many years at the ! 80-Peep police office, and have seen • great deal of drunkenness there. A large majority of the 80-Peep' charges are charges ageism persons of the lowest class, of having been found drunk and incapable of taking care of themselves —Will you instance a c. 1142, Mr. Hemp ?

(Mr. Gawp retires, much complimented). Naughty Baby, attend to the Reverend Single Swallow ! Mr. Swallow, you have been much in the confidence of thieves and miscellaneous miscreants ? I have the happiness to believe that they have made me the unworthy depository of their unbounded con- Sdence.—Have they usually confessed to you that they have been in the habit of getting drunk ? Not drunk ; upon that point I wish to explain. Their ingenious expression has generally bee.

O yes ! —Do you trace their offenses to nothing else ? They have always told me, that they themselves traced them to nothing elre worth mentionlog.—Are you ac quainted with a man named Sloggins? 0 yes! I have the truest affection for Slorgins.—Has he made any confidence to you that you feel justified in disclosing, bearing on this subject of becoming lush, ? Sloggins,. when in solitary confinement, informed me, every morning for eight months, always with tears in his eyes, and uniformly at five minutes past eleven o'clock, that he attributed his imprisonment to his having partaken of rum and water at a licensed house of entertainment, called (I use his own words) The Wiry Terrier. He never ceased to recommend that the landlord, landlady, young family, potboy, and the whole of the fre quenters of that establishment, should be taken up.—Did you recommend Sloggins for a commutation of his term, on a ticket of leave? I did —Where is he now ? I believe he is in Newgate now.—Do you know what for? Not of my own knowledre, but I have beard that be got into trouble through baring been weakly tempted into the folly of garotticg a market gardener.— Where was he taken for this last offence ?

Dickens's " Household Words. DOGGETT'S COAT AND BADGE.—The sonnet nob lest from London bridge to Chelsea for D:ggett's Coat and Badge took place yesterday, and was one of the best races seen for many yews put. T. start was well arranged, and after a spirited contest, Henry Jame White, of Mill Stairs, Bermondsey, was declared the winner of the principal pease by nearly • hundred yards. Thomas Adcock, Bt. George's Stairs, Horeelydown (sewind), and William Ling, Tower Stain (third), received respectively 41. 10s. and 2t. lta. from a fund provided for the purpose. The other competitors also received small tome from the Fishmongers' Conning, who, in addition after the rue, regaled the whole of the men with a substantial repast.

MARRIAGES, BIRTHS, AND DEATHS. The following is from the guerterly return of the marriages, births, and deaths registered is ti .e divisions counties and districts of England. The return of marriagei extends from January to March, 1855; and the births aid deaths from April to Jute, 1855 : . . . . . This return comprises the births and deaths registered by 2,196 registrars in all the districts of England daring the spring quarter that ended on June 30, 1855 ; end the mar riages in 12,129 churches or chapels, about 3,631 registered places of worship unaonneoted with the Established Church, and 628 superintendent reeisiran' offices, in the quarter that ended on March 31 , 1856 . The returns present these g 1 results : the marriages in** winterlgaarter were much below the go nom ben; the births and the deaths in the spring quarter slightly exceeded the average proportions. The severe wea ther, the high pries of provisions, the diminution of em ployment in some diatricn, and the withdrawal of an in creased number of men from the wintry by the army and navy abroad, account for the decrease in the marriages. The stagnation in the winter wee, however, probably only temporary ; for war, instead of depressing, appears to in crease the industry, the invention, and the energy of Eng lishmen. The rapid rate of growth of the British population commenced and attained its ettiminaticg point at the close of the last war. _ _ a _ _ -- Miadissiii.-29,131 marriages were celebrated in the first three months of the year, or less in number by nearly 6,000 than the marriages in the winter gunner of the year 1853, when the marriages as much exceeded as in 1855 they fell below the average. The marriages are invariably fewer in the beginning then in the end of the year, and were at the annual rate of 1,262 persons married in 1(10,000 living in the winter spatter, whores , ' the ge rote is 1,426. The excess of marriages in the winter quarter 9(1853, and the diminution in the winter quarter of 1855, are meet re markable in London and in Lancashire ; but they are more or lees apparent in every county, except Hampshire Suf folk, the North Riding of Yorkshire, Durham, Nerilinns holland, and Monmouthshire. _ _ _ BilCriall.—The ►irths of 165,250 children were registered in the quarter that ended on June 30, 1855; or less by 7,000 than were registered in the corresponding quarter of the previous year, and more, to nearly the same extent, than wee, registered in the spring quarters of 1851.53. IR the West Midland Counties, particularly in Staffordshire, and also in Cheshire, in Lancashire, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, and in the northern counties, the births of the quarter exceeded to some extent .the births in the spring quarter of 1853. Itionsaan or POPULATION.—As the number of births was 165,250, and of deaths 106,584, the natural increase of the English population in three months may be set down it 68,666, exclusive of immigrants from Scotland, Ireland, and the colonies, or brain° paths. Tae PRICES oF PROVISIONS ♦ND THE WZATII7IH. The abundance or the scarcity of food eensibiy effete the births, deaths, and marriages; and the state of public credit effaces the employment, and consequently the prosperity of the people. The average price of wheat, which in the three menthe, April, May, June, 1853, was at 41.. 61. a quarter, was in 1864 at 78s. 4d., and in the correepondiog months of the present year at 73,. 4d. Bread hoe boon dear for two years, or since the harvest of 1863. Beef is somewhat cheaper, and so are potatoes, while mutton is at the same price as in the spring quarter of 18.54. The wee. her during the gutter was remarkable for the continuance of the cold, which in the previous quarter bad been unusually severe. Except on a tow days only, the temperature was below the go. There was a deficiency of rain. STATE OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH.—The public health has partly recovered hoot the effects of the late epidemic cholera, and from the severe weather of last winter, and the mortality, which is on the average at the annual rate of 22 . 67 in 1,000 on the population, was 22.79 in 1,000 in the last quarter. The average rate of mortality in the spring quarter in 117 districts, comprising the chief towns, is 24 . 60 in 1,000 persons living, in the smell towns and counuy pariahs. 20•88 in 1,000. The mortality in the last quarter was at the rate of 2603 in 1,000 in the t nth districts, 20 97 in 1,000 in the country districts. There were 106,584 deaths in the quarter; or 3,918 more deaths than were recorded in the corresponding quarter of 18.54; for the cholera, which wee epidemic in that veal, only became fatal in the subsequent quarter. In the t 1 divisions the deaths varied little during the spring quarters of 1853, 1854, 1855. ..."'CIIIJRCIIYARD INTERMENTS IN LONDON.—Yeetee day at a Court of the City Commission of Sewers, stientina was drawn toe bill before parliament, introduced by the government, and which contains a clause which it was re presented would rceeind, or at least modify, the orders nand by Lord Palmerston, when Horne Secretary, fog closing the metropolitan churchyards aid burial grounds. Several members of the commission strongly deprecated any re-opening of such grievous sources of nuisance and disease, especially after the City of London and other out-parishes had been compelled by government to obtain new cemeteries at a great expense. The bill having passed the House of Lords, it was ultimately resolved that the 110Hee of Com mons should be petitioned not to pass the measure in its present term. The bill, it was stated, would be committed on Thursday. THE CITY OF LONDON BURIAL BOARD.—Yester► day, at a court of the City Commission of Sewer', a diem*. Idols took place upon the memorial of the Archdeacon of London and certain of the clergy, to be placed upon the Burial Board of the said city. The question hail heen referred to the commission by the Court of Common Council, and the commit.ioners, who form the Ddrial Board, seemed to consider that the application came late, seeing that they had been in existence as mob for three years, and it was rather extraordinary that, just as they bad completed all the works of the cemetery, the seemorisliste should for the First time express a wish to become members of the board. For these and other reasons the commissioners came to a unanimous resolution not to comply with,tbe application of the memorialists. THE MUSEUM OF ORNAMENTAL ART AT MARL.
