The opera season just terminated has been one of the moat successful, and the least eventful, that we have bad for many, ears. Such, indeed, must be the case, in the common course of theatrical affairs. A judicious, a fortunate production of a piece, or of a performer, that pleases the town in an extraordinsuy degree, and is so at tractive sa to fill the house for many nights successively, has the effect of relieving the manager from the necessity of seeking those efforts to produce a series of novelties which give interest and variety to the proceedings of the season. Such has been the ease this year. The introduc tion of Mademoiselle Patti to the acquaintance of the public was no part of Mr. Cys's contemplated plan of operations. This young lady's name was not announced in the general programme of the season ; and when, soon after its commencement, she was suddenly brought for ward in the Soo nanibetics, she was almost as much a stranger as if she had dropped from another planet. Seldom has been a greater coccus, end seldom a mimeos more legitimate. " Alone she did it!" She conquered nieces by her own prowess ; gained every suffrage in one night by her own sterling unaided merit. This victory completely upset Mr. (lye's previously-formed scheme of his campaign, but tt, at once suggested another, and an easier one. He had only to prodace his unexpected recruit in a series of parts suited to her powers and qualities. This was sll that it was necessary for him to do in order to ensure the soccer of the season ; awl it is very nearly all that he has done. The events of the season, now that it is over, leave only two strong impressions behind them—the rise of one bright luminary, and the setting of another still brighter— the debuts of Adelina Patti, and the farewells of Grisi. Another unlooked-for circumstance, at the beginning of the season, contributed to diminish the difficulties of Mr. Gye's campaign. This was his riddance of a formidable competi tor. At the moment when it was understood that Her Ma jesty's Theatre was about to open with a company of extra. ordinary strength, it was found that Mr. E. T. Smith bed absedoised the field and left it free to his livid. The Lyceum, indeed, was opened, and some of the brightest stars of Her Majesty's Theatre appeared ; but the arrange ments were crude and incomplete, and it was, moreover, too late to contest a field already occupied. Accordingly, the management of the Lyceum, after forestalling Mr. Gye in the production of his only novelty, Verdi's last opera, abruptly retired from the field. This. unexpected turns in the course of events, however, if highly advantageous to the treasury of Covent Garden Theatre, have been far lees satisfactory in an artistic point of view. For they have coutnbuted to narrow still more the already by far too contracted repertory of this theatre, and have prevented the production of several of the greatest works of the masked stage ; thus rendering the past season singularly banes of interesting reminiscences-so barren, that, in surveying its course, we find in it scarcely anything worthy of commemoration. The company, as announced in the general prospectus of ' the season, was thus composed :—Soprani, Miolan-Carvalho, Pence, Ceiling, Tiberini, Budersdorff ; contralto, Didiee ; team—Tamberlik, Tiberini, Neri-Baraldi; beritoni, Faure, Oraziani, ltonconi ; bassi, Zelger, Formes, Taglisfioo, with several lea conspicuoue names. At that time Urisi and Mario were to have appeared at Her Majesty's Theatre, but !that house not having opened, they returned to Covent ! Garden. Covent Garden opened on the god of April with the Prophetr, to which an entirely new interest was given !by Madame Csillag's magnificent appearance in the character of Fides. Owing, in • great measure, to this canoe, it had ten represent/Ikea. The last was on the concluding night of the season, when (as we mentioned at the time) C.illag's absence was severely felt. This great, and, in various respects, incomparable performer, bad taken her departure long before the end of the season, finding her "occupation gone in ociesequenes of the peat domed for Mdlle. Patti. Don Giovanni was injured is • like mune; and in a still pester degree. As at first padoced this season, Mozart's chef-d'irerre had probably never been so superbly performed. Then Grill was the Donna Anna and Calling the Elvin, and they, with Patti as &dins, Faure as Don Giovanni, Formes as Leporello, and Itonconi u Masetto, made up such a "cast" as has perhaps never been equalled. The opera, consequently, had the most brilliant succor ; but after a time it was madly shorn of its beanie. Grisi, having sung her "farewells, " was super seded by Madame Penco ; and Ceiling (as we have already said) had left the theatre. The only new piece of the season was Verdi's last opera, Us Belo is Maschera, which (as we have said) had been forestalled at the Lyceum, where, indeed, though produced with far inferior splendour, it was on the whole better per formed. Its success at either house was not great. It showed the composer's increased command of the technical resources of his art, but • falling off in freshness of melody ; and, besides, its inferiority to Auber's fine on the same sebject, Gustavus the Third, was generally felt and etlanitted. BINIVOLINT PEATOZNANCI AT THE VICTOZIA TQ►7 i i.—A performance is to be giveo at this theatre, on SeAnrday swung next, for the benefit of the widow and eight ehlleen of the late John Venus, a compositor, who was for some yams engaged on the daily press, and who died under peculiarly distressing circumatances. As it is well known that the compositors of London unite strongly on such emosions, there u but little doubt of moms. Amongst other entertainments the Second Surrey Volun teer Artillery Band will render their services, and they wit, it is hoped, be ably supported by many of their volunteer cones in so good a cause. CHARITY CHILDREN FIRTIVAL AT THE CRYSTAL TIE EMBANKMENT Off THE THAMES. A public meeting of the ratepayers of the me tropolis was held but evening at Exeter Hall, to consider the propriety of adopting resolution, condemnatory of the plans st present contemplated by the Metropolitan Board of Brmb in connection with the embankment of the Thames and the deodorization of the sewage, the chair being occupied by Mr. HENRY Hoene The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said this meeting might be regarded as a continuation of • meeting of the ratepayers of St. Martin's, held at the same place on the 13th of Jane, 1860, pursuant to public notice, to pe tition against the construction of a low level north sewer along the Strand and Fleet-street. That meeting was unanimous in favour of some em bankment east of Westminster-bridge, within which such sewer might be coeitructeaL A etition was ad dressed to both Houses of Parliament urging upon them to give the Metropolitan Board of Works the powers and the necessary funds for curling outthis important undertaking, the meeting being of opinion that the charge should not be exclusively borne by the already heavily taxed ratepayers of the metropolis, but might fairly be met by an applies.- don of some portiou of the proceeds of the coal tax, and by handing over the hackney carriage dues to the M titan Board of Works. Since that time it tr:s tr° 47l, that the question bad on the whole made mate =progress. The vestry of that parish, which mere an important and independent body of ratepayers, had app ointed a committee to attend exclusively to this cme- . t i i . 3 4 , 6, That oornisittem l t ield several meetings, which n attended by del from several of the metro politan districts . Its de deliberations had been conducted with harmoey, bad resulted is unanimity, and bad given satisfaction to the vestry which appointed tt ; and he need not say that unanimity among • body of gentlemen such as time who composed St. Martins vestry was not a light or unimportant fact. (Cheers and laughter.) Resolutions would be proposed that evening showing the circumstances which had induced the com mittee, with permission from the vestry, to call the meeting. Differenoss of opinion might arise, and it would be his duty to secure to the several speakers a fair hearing. (Hear, hear.) The deodoriratioa of the sewage was the main ques tion for discumicni, and although its utilisation was • sub ject of extreme importance yet there would be no time for remarks upon liquid manure or upon the details of the ein. bankment, to which in some form or other he trusted necessity would drive them. With every disposition to place a genend confidence in the Board of Works the committee felt that neither they nor the bawd were infallible, and if • mistake hail occurred or even was thonht to have occurred it was better that a friendlyand public discussion should take Ores now than to wait until further progress was made, involviag, as it must, a further expenditure of valuable resources. The extreme difficulty of the subject they ad mitted, and they felt that credit was due to the Metropoli tan Board for their past exertions, whether or not there were points in which they were mistaken. All personal feeling he deprecated, and ho trusted that they would approach the discussion of a subject of such magnitude and important,' in • calm, philosophical temper. (Loud cheers.) Mr. MARSHALL, ia ing the first resolution—" That the grateful thanks ofthis meeting are due to her Majesty the Queen, and to both houses of parliament, for securing by recent enactment the continuance of the coal and wine dues, with a view to some embankment on the north aide of the river, between Westminster and Blackfriars bridges, the construction of which the ratepayers would naturally wish to see catenated to the Board of Works elected by themselves ; that, in the opinion of this meeting, the ad. dittoesl space so acquired should, if equable, be appromi. aced to purposes of utility and trade, as well as to those of recreation and ornament ; and that possibly such portion thereof as lies to the west of the Tem ple.garden may be, in part at least, beneficially allotted to the use of bargee and other craft on the river," said it had been the subject of complaint that we did not maaage so well in England as did our friends on the conti• nest, great public monuments and national works. He was prepared to admit that fact., but he thought they might take some consolation to themselves from the fact that the 'defect did not arise front a want of either engineering skill 'or money, but rather from the superabundance of those commodities. (Hear, hear.) There could no; be much dif ficulty with respect to the desirability of an embankment of the Thames—(hear, hear)—and they must feel great plea sure that the commissioners appointed by the Queen should at last have decided to recommend this great national undertake (H aar, hear.) The government was clearly pledged to ie • bill next session for carrying out this useful object. • begged to conclude by moving the reso lution he had read to them. (Hear.) gr. BARTON seconded the resolution, having taken some part in the proceedings at the previous meeting held in 1660, and felt much gratified to find that the recommenda tions then put forward had been acquiesced in by the royal commissioners now inquiring into the "object He perfectly agreed with all that had been does at the St. James's meet log, as he thought it would be decidedly prejudicial to allow royal commissioners to carry out the *theme. In the first place they wanted the work. executed cheaply, and he thought the Board of Weeks elected by themselves would be more careful of their pockets than a royal commission. (Hear, hear.) With regard to tha t portion of the resolution referring to the desirability of appropriating the land to be acquired to the purposes of utility and Uncle, they would find upon examining the design approved by the commission that a large portion of valuable land would be acquired, which would yield a large rental if used instead of being allowed to lie wade, useless to the public sod every one else, and thus the pockets of the rate payers would be saved. (Hear, hear.) He also thought a canal ought to be left inside the embankment for the non- violence of who es. These were all matters for their consideration. He to second the resolution. (Hear.) After addresses from Mr. Helmore, Mr. Bird, and other gentlemen, the resolution was put, and carried unanimously. The CHLIRMAN said there was one little matter to which be might refer, which was that great damage would be done to the interests of the heavily taxed Strand shopkeepers, if their customers were attracted away by • number of shops proposed to be built, surrounded with beautiful gardens, on the embankment. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Pesaro moved the second resolution—" That this meeting prays the said board immediately to direct its impartial attention to the leading plans for deodorising the sewage; taking more care than hereto- fore to promote adequate demonstrations of such plans, in order that them feasibility or otherwise may be fairly ascertained, and become publicly known ; the com paralive merits of the several chemical agents having been satisfactorily tested by competent authority. That the at tention of the said board be likewise solicited to the circum stances of the fiat localities which are found to exist on both sides of the liver above Westmitisterbridge • and that, in the opinion of this meeting, the processes of deo;lorisation and filtration, if adopted any where, should not be disregarded is ' this particular locality, it being considered that both those promises in combination should be made to precede theeetio• of the pump, in all cases where such action is required." Hs thought the deodorising process ought to be carried oat is the district named in the resolution, as the prepceed sewer had only • fall of 12 inches in half • mile, which was totally inadequate for the . purpose. Then there was great and chap Ivantage to the operation of tunnelling. = e ir r Deodo rising at that point would be practically much better and cheaper than making the low level sewer ; at all events, a ought to be tried first, as scientific men stated it to be quite practicable. It was to be done at Brampton , and why not at Lambeth _ _ _ PLIIIIOII,II senoaded the resolution, and stated that he had sees some of the deodorised sewage, and had drank some of the pare clear water thereby obtained from it. (Laughter.) The committee had offered to let the Board of Works experiment at their sewer, and the cost would only be 1001., but they had refused their offer. The resolution sow before them for approval was a kind of petition to the board to make certain experiment, before they pro ceded further in the matter. (Hear, hear.) PiDLIII mid he had taken great intoned in Dover's method of deodornation, which was by the addition to the mirage of salted iron and hydrochloric acid ; and he had his doubts as to the practicability of deodorising so large a quantity without injurious effecte resulting. Thus the hy drochloric acid frequently contained large quantities .1 arsenic, and if that were thrown into the Thames it would be converted into a river of poison. (Hear, hear.) He thought the deodorising scheme, there fore, was a failure, and preferred the grand compre hensive scheme now being carried out. London al it was was healthier than Lancashire, and when the scheme was completed it would be the healthiest place in the world. (Hear, bear.) He was sure, on the other hand, that qesatities of sewage could not be deodoried without images, quantities of poisonous gases being set free to pollute the at ere. (Hear, hear.) If deedorisation woe necemary at all it could be done at the marshes, and he had no doubt but that in time the sewage of London would be one of it. moat profitable products. (Cheers.) People would pray for it to be brought down to them in the country, and it would be poured over the land, which would yield in consequence more corn, more grass, and more animal food. (Cheers.) He hoped the embank meet scheme would not get into the hands of the board, and he begged in conclusion to move the following amendment to the resolution, " That the deodoriettion of the sewage of Loodon is impracticable in London, and that the only plan to be adopted is to remove the sewage into the country, where it will become of the greatest value." Mr. Ewe, io seconding the amendment, maid the Board of Works and the Sewage Commission had for a period of tea yews given a painful attention to the subject of deodornation, and they found that 6-7th of the most valuable portion of the manure was held in chemical aolu tion, and that that portion it was impossible to precipitate. After the solid portico had been precipitated, the water re maining looked perfectly clear and pure ; but instead of being so it was in reality quite poisonous, and be did not envy Mr. Parsoce his dnnk of it. (" Hear, hear:* sad laughter.) The sewage is its natural state was worth 21. a tee, which would yield annually a revenue of 2,000,0001. (Hear , hear.) This was what was proposed to be thrown away.

All they proposed to do was to deodorise and filter it, and throw the clean pure water into the Thames, and sell the solid portiere for manure. Mr. Et. us aid that could not be done. If the sewage were not to be thrown into the Thames, why deodorise it at all? Fresh sewage did not smell at all, and was spoilt for agricultural purposes when deodorised. He proposed to pump the sewage into a reservoir and then to let it fl ow ever the country in pipes by gravitation. After a desultory docuesiou, The amendment was put and negatived, after which the original resolution was carried. Mr. LATCHBURN prellOeld and Mr. Souks seconded the third resolution, which was. as follows—" That this meeting cannot but regard with the greatest repugnance the proposal to pump up the contents of a low level north SOWN, or elongated cesspool ; and to propel the volume so pepped up, in its most noxious form, at all hours of t 4 he ne d et y l in a tunnel through the heart of the City, from ithe or elsewhere to West Ham ; and deprecates in the strongest manner the fennation en each side of the river of open tanks, or reservoirs, from which the sewage, having been a second time pumped up, shall, at ebb tide, be discharged into the liter ; eonsidering that since the specific gravity of sea-water greatly_ exceeds that of sewage, the inevitable result must be that the latter will never commingle with the former, but will con tinually ebb and flow on the surface, whilrt the tilt and other settlement matters not lifted by the pumps will ne cessarily accumulate at the bottom and that, there being no longer the ancient dived outfalls into the river, the sewer itself along the foreshore, being nearlypn a dead lewd, may nose b ec ome loweiveniently, udiWpasiew tardy, choked .up —a result, the consequesees of which would be of a malignant character too horrible to describe." The resolution, after some discussion, was carried ; after which the proceedings terminated With the usual vote of thanks to the chairman. A SCENE AT AN IRISH TOWN COUNCIL The Northern Whig gives the following graphic report of an extraordinary scene which occurred at • recent meeting of the Cork 'Town Council : Mr. Knunit wished to draw the Mayor's attention to one or two matters which would be of importance to the city. Ile perceived that her Majesty was coming to Killarney, and he was anxious to know from the Mayor and the other membirs of parliament for the city whether there would be any possibility of inducing her to come to Cork. The ob ject was, in order to expend money among the inhabitants of the city, and to benefit the charitable institutions. He was quite confident that the visit would benefit the city to the amount of 50,0001. If the Mayor could induce her Majesty to come here, he would confer a great benefit ou the citizens at large. MAYOR—We were told the Prince of Wales would come here. I wrote, and he informed us he bad no intention of coming hem ; bat as yet we have made no inquiries about the Queen. We have time enough to do so ; but I doubt whether we could induce her to come here. ----- Mr. %itt~a— Do lou think would be edris►ble to appoint a committee in onler to induce her Majesty to come to Cork? Our object would be to expend a large sum of mosey, sod to assist the charitable institutions. MATOR—I wish we could induce her to come. I will con sider what can be done in the matter. Mr. BRIMNIZ—Do you mean to say you could induce her Majesty to come this way ? The Mayor may try to do 80, if he platens, on his own aooount, but not as the Town Council. lir. in talking of the Queen— Marott—lfon are Out of order. Mr. Siarman—l got up to speak in —. (Loud cries of " Order.") Miron—C,all in the Mayer's sergeinta, and put this man oat if he does not sit down. ("Order," and confusion.) Mr. SHEZHAN—I will not, sir, for you. The Mayor's sergeants here entered, and approached Mr. Sheehia. Karon—Remove him. Mr. SHEEHAN (turning to one of the sergeants)—Ye dare not do it. I would knock the half of ye down, ye pack of humbug". What the d—l am I doing! I got up twice, and he got up twice, and you called me to order. The MAYOR (addressing the sergeanta)—Remove this indi vidual. If any member of the council will persist in using abusive language, and when I call on you to eject them you are bound to eject them, no matter who they are, and I will take good care they shall not be admitted into this room again until they get proper security for their future beha viour. (Hear, hear.) This thing r going on too long, and I will not submit to it any longer. Mr. SHEEHAN—I happened to get up after Mr. Keller was dons speaking. That gentleman over there (Mr. Bremner) got up too, and he was allowed to go on, and I was not. (Cries of " Order.") MAYOR—Remove him. _ _ _ Mr. SHIMHAN—No, air, I em en older citizen than any owe here, and longer a ratepayer. I was, air, before you (the Mayor), and no thanks to you. I wee roing to speak about the members of parliament when BATOR —Now, sir, what is it you want to ay? Mr.BflegnAN—lll tell you what I am going to say if you let me. MAYOR—In it about the business here to-day I' Mr. SHIMEAS—Itin not about the business, but about the Queen. (Urwar.) MAYOR—Then sit down, or you must be removed. Mr. SHIEMAN-1 won't. Why did you allow Mr. Keller to speak about her and the members of parliament? NATOIt—I now order the sergeants to have him removed. Yr. SHEEHAN (turning to the sergeants and seizing another member's stick which lay on the table, shook it at them) — I would 'mock the d—l out of any of you. Come now (midng a blow). Go to h—l. The Mayor's sergeants here caught hold of Mr. Sheehan's anis, and soon compelled him to surrender the stick, after which they commenced to drag him towards the door. Mr. Sheehan kicked, plunged, and reaiatedin every possible way, and at the same time continued bawling out furiously, " I will not go out for ye, ye d--e. Don't attempt it." The members rose en maser, looking quite bewildered, while the two sergeants continued to drag Mr. Sheehan to the door, the latter tearing up the carpets off the floor with his feet in resisting, and raising the dust until the room became clouded therefrom. In fact, the scene could not be adequately described. Mr. E. Scan—l move that we adjourn the proceedings. Such a scene as this I never saw. (Loud cries d " Yes," and " tio," amidatgreatconfusion.) Mr. SHEEHAN, who had by this time been carried to the door, and seeing that further resistance was useless, said, " I say, Mayor, you are the greatest humbug I ever knew," and then diaappr red. Mr. KEANE—WO all saw the assault on the Mayot's sergeant in the execution of his duty. This ha. been allowed to go on too long, and it is only right to put a stop to it. Mr. E. Sloan—You may depend on it if he understood that the Mayor was determined to keep him in order, he would not ponas he has done for a long time. (Hear.) Mr. ceogratulate you, Mr. Mayor, on the firm. new you have displayed to•day. (Hear, hear.) I think you have conferred a benefit on the Town Council and the citi- MIL of Cork. I was speaking to a gentleman yesterday who says whenever he takes up a paper and reads the pro- I ceedings of the Town Council or t he e. departments he feels it a shame to be an Irishman. (Hear, hear.) MAYOR —Such conduct has been a disgrace to the council and the whole city. The usual routine business was then resumed, and went on for a short time with wonderful order and regularity, until . _ Mr. HUMPHRTLII (treasurer), entered and said Mr. Coun cillor Sheehan was outside and wished to see the meeting, but the mayor's sergeants refused to admit him. M•TOR—Be must send in a full and ample apology in writing, Mr. Homrsair.a—He said be wanted to see the meeting in order to apologise. Mr. Itunitowxa—He ought to apologise in writing. If you let him is on any other conditions you'll have another seene. (Bear.) The Town Clerk then went out, with • piece of paper in her hand, and shortly returned with the following ■pology from Mr. Sheehan :—" I regret that in a moment of excitement I wee brought into language unbecoming to you and the meeting, for which I offer my abject apology." (Laughter.) Mr. J. Datr—Make that "ample" apology. This change having been made. The MATOR asked was the apology satisfactory to the meeting. (Cries of " Yea, yes.") On the motion of Mr. nor, seconded by Mr. E SCOTT, the apology was ordered to be inserted in the minutes. Mr. Sheehan then entered the room, took his seat, and belayed himself remarkably well during the remainder of the proceedings. A correspondent of the Freeman's Jon mat con tradicts the report of the death of Thomas Francis Meagher. A letter had been received from Mrs. Meagher stating that her husband's horse was shot under him, but that he himself was perfectly safe.

The twenty-second annual report of the Registrar- General of Births, Deaths, and Marriages in England, has been issued. In 1838 the names of 335,446 men and women were inscribed on the marriage muter. ; of 689,881 chil dren on the registers of birth ; and of 440,781 persons of all ages on the registered deaths. The total number of names enrolled during the year amounted to nearly a million and a half (1,466,108). On an average of twenty-two year* there was 1 death to 43 living in the population, 1 birth to 30 living, and 1 person married to 61 living ; and these proportions in the year 1859 became 1 in 46, 1 in 29, and 1 in 59 ; or, more exactly, the mortality on the population was 2.7.36 per cent., on an average, and nearly the same (2.232) in 18N1 • the average birth rate was 3.3E6, the rate in 1869 being higher (3.494); the average marriage rate was 1.636, and the rate in the last year also higher, 1.698. The marriages in the year exceeded by 11,653 the marriages in the preceding year ; the births were 34,400 in excess ; the death 8,875 in defect, Consequently the excess of births over deaths in the year was 43,275 above the excess in the pooedin year, and amounted to 249,100. This was the natu raled increase of the population of England and Wales. The emigrant' of k.nglish crigm amounted to about 40,245. To this extent, therefore, the natural increase is diminished by emigration. Upon the other hand, while the Emigration Commissioners record the departure of 120,432, tli ta :e n cord the return of 19,913 imi emiuts to the United Ki om ; and there is probably a constant influx of the pop • of Scotland and Ireland into England and Wales ; so that the census alone will enable na to strike the exact balance. 167,723 marriages were rentseendla Me yawl' Mtn eseeeding to the rites of the established church, and 31,513 net asserding to thee* rites. Of the marriages is the church, 19 were by special license, 20,345 by license, 107,737 by banns, and 4,204 upon superintendent registrars' certificates. The clergy omitted in 3,905 cases to state whether the marriage was by linnse or by beans. The minim." by banns increased more rapidly than the marriages by license, and were in proportion to those by licenses as 5,296 to 1. Of the marriages not according to the rites of the esta blished church 12,519 were by protestant diameters, 7,756 by Roman catholic', 70 by Quakers, and 324 by Jews • 10,844 marriages, exceeding those of the Roman catholic*: ware performed in super r utendent registrars' diem 137,000 bachelors married as many spinsters in the year, and 8,161 widowers married the same number of widows ; 7,068 bachelors also married widows, end 15,493 spinsters married widowers; consequently, 23,664 widowers and 15,219 widows remarried. Of 100 men marrying, 14.10 were widowers ; of 100 women marrying, 9.07 were wide'''. 10,397 young men and 32,041 young women under 21 years of age married in the year; so of 100 men, 6.20, and of 100 women, 19.10 were minors. 44,907 men and 63,127 women signed the married registers with marks ; so that of 335,446 persona in the prime of life, 227,512 could write their names more or less distinctly • and 107,934 signed with marks, or 32.2 per cent. signed with marks. Of the women, 37.6 in 100 ; of the men, 26.7 in 100 signed with marks ; so that the women do not write in the same proportion as men. It is gratifying to trace the pro mos of education since 1841, when 32.7 men and 48.8 women in every 100 signed with marks, to 1869. when the proportions fell to 26.7 and 37.6 respectively ; so that of persons at the age of marriage, 6.0 more men, and 11'2 more women in 100 now write their names than wrote 18 years ago. 4,228 places of public worship were open far the solemnisation of marriages, and registered on Jlst her, 1859. This number exceeds by 156 the number on the register at the same date of the ',revisal' year. The mar riages were most numerous after harvest in the Christmas uarter of the year, and in the spring quarter, including the months of April, May, and June. The marriage rate is lowest in the Lent quarter, e ndi ng i n when the produce of the year is partly consumed. The registered births, which declined in the previous year, roes to 689,881 in 1859. The increase is 34,400. The birth rate of the year is 3.494, or lin 29. 352,662 boys and 337,219 girls were born ; and 15,443 more boys than girls, the proportions being 1,046 boys to 1,000 girls ; so that the proportions were nearly 22 boys to 21 girls. The pro grof births in the several seasons of the year varied, if we take the average births of each quarter at 1,000, the proportional births in the four quarters of the year are represented by the numbers 1,032, 1,02'2, 968, and 978. These proportions differ from year to year • but the births in the first exceed those in the second six ;meths of the year. 44,751 children were horn out of wedlock, or 6.5 per cent. of the children born alive, and so registered as to allow the distinction to be drawn. One in every 15 children is in this condition, and has to encounter the hardships incidental to it ; for hitherto mankind have treated the innocent children with the opprobrium which properly attaches only to the wean. To 100 girls, 105.7 boys were born out of wedlook4 whenas to 100 girls 104.5 boys were born io wedlock. The number of deaths was leas by 8,875 than the deaths in the year preceding ; and the rate of mortality (2,742) was slightly below the average, 2, 2 36. It is nearly expressed by one death to every 45 of the popula tioa. The mortality of males was at the rate of 2.300, and females at the rate of 2.167 per cent. annually. The deaths of males were to the deaths of females as 103 to 100 ; and out of equal numbers of the two sexes the propoi Lions be came 106 to 100. The rate of mortality under 10 years of age was higher than usual in both sexes, and generally lower et the more advanced ages. The winter was the most fatal of the four quarters. A FALSE SPURGEON IN IRELAND. The Limerick correspondent of Saunders' Nears, writing on Tuesday, says i—" A circumstance of barefaced swindling, which occurred in this city yesterday, has given rise to much gossip amongst all classes, owing to its novelty of occurrence. It appears that a young gentleman. clerically attired as a minister of the EataNished Church, put up • few days since at • hotel in Ruche's-street, of which Mr. John Molooy is proprietor, entering himself as the ' Rev. Mr. Spurgeon, en route to Killaroey,' and stated to the hotel • keeper, in the way of conversation, ' that be was specially engaged to preach before the Queen during the royal visit to the romantic lakes of that part of her Majesty's dominions, but that it was to be kept a perfect secret until the Queen actually arrived.' As a matter of course, every possible attention was paid to the supposed celebrated rev. gentle. man, not only by the proprietor, but waiters, chamber maids, &a, to whom strict injunctions were issued not to breathe Menem., and strict secrecy was accordingly observed by all. Hie chops at brealdast were made savoury and done brown ; his lunch was punctually placed upon the table pre cisely at one ; he dined at six, and subsequently enjoyed each evening half a bottle of wine and, two glasses of bandy punch. So far all went right, and in the daytime be strolled about the city, viewing its curiosities (if curiosi ties were to be seen) ; and deeming it advisable to add • new suit to his wardrobe, he yesterday entered the establish ment of Mr. O'Connor, master tailor and military outfitter, William.street, where he fitted himself and ordered the clothes home to the hotel, first directing sonic slight altera tions to be made. The carpet-hag of the would-be rev. gen tleman was of small size, but this passed unnoticed, being accounted for by the fact that 'great men nevertrsvel alone with lumber.' The master tailor sent the suit of clothes to the hotel by his messenger, to be delivered to the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon, with bill for amount. They were again fitted on, and pronounced • all right,' the wearer asking the messenger if he had balance of change between the tailor's bill and a 10/. note, to which he replied in the naptive, whereupon the rev. gentleman' exclaimed, Oh, :lever mind : I have badness at the bank, where I am just going, and on my re ' turn I will discharge this bill. In the meantime you can remain here and await my re•appearance.' The rev. gentle man proceeded to the bank that is to the bank of the Shannon, whore he took steamer down river, and hes not since made his appearance, leaving his carnet-bag, which was filled with hay, behind him, for the tailor and the hotel-keeper to nibble at. The police are on the qui rire, and, as it is said that this rev. gentleman is known, there cants no doubt of his speedy capture."

NORFOLK ENTUARY COMPANY.—Yesterday the thirtieth half-yearly meeting of this company was held in the Gray's-inn Coffee-house, Mr. West in the chair. The report of the directors stated that they bad themselves, on the 10th ult., visited the works, which they found in a sound and efficient state. The lands were rapidly silting up and bearing a great growth of samphire, an indication of iteioaaaing fruitfulness. The company has expended 335,001 f. les. Id. upon the undertaking. The report of Sir John Rennie and Mr. Fowler, the company's engineers, recommended that fora short time no further enclosures should be made. The existing enclosure banks were all sound. That at Belsingley Shelter was causing a rapid laying up of a rich warp over mum hundred acres, which would prove a valuable property when enclosed. Between that hank and the west enclosure the growth of aimphire was extending rapidly. The Guide books maintained an excellent channel for the navigation. A porticos at the bank at Admiral's-corner, where it crossed the old channel, was almost embedded in the silt. The hank through Vinegar Middle, essential to the protection of the East Guide Bank, was incomplete, and would rennin so until the liability of the Eau Bank Commissioners and of the corporation of Lynn to contribute to the cost of the work was settled. Oa the median of the chairman, seconded by Mr. H. Wilms, the report lima adopted.
