Bitrwasw the Ist of April and the 4th of No vember in the present year, the REOTSTRAR GENERAL tells us, one hundred and eight per sons were killed by being run over in the streets of London. This is no exceptional death rate; there has in recent years been an average annual loss from this cause of between two and three hundred lives. If we add to the slain the proportion of hurt which is usual in war, we shall find that every year we have casualties not short of • thou sand in killed and wounded in the metropolis alone. Many • bloody battle is fought at lean cost than this sacrifice which is annually offered up in our peaceful street'. Nor are the aged, the in firm, or the young the only victims to over crowded traffic. Of the one hundred and eight killed since April, fifty-five were between the ages of ten and sixty-five years, thirty-seven were children under ten years, sixteen were above sixty five years. Last week alone four deaths were re corded, and of these two were of men between thirty and forty, the other two were one a man, the other a woman, both turned of seventy. If, again, we recur to the statistics for the immediate cause of death, we find that aix persona were run over and killed by omnibuses, sixteen by cabs and carriages, and sixty-four by vans, drays, and waggons ; the re maining twenty-two were not specilied. It would seem, then, that it is not so much speed as weight that is the cause of the accidents. It is the in ability to pull up, and the certainty that, once down, the life is crushed out by the ponderous vehicle, that swells most of all the list. Yet though the numbers may startle, no one who is accustomed to London streets, especially those in the City, can on reflection wonder at the result. Most of the inhabitants of this huge town have occasion at least once a day to pass along a nar tow and densely-thronged foot pavement, where {he jostle of the passengers thrusts the outside person among the horses' feet and carriage wheels, or to cross some of those tho roughfares where three or four lines of traffic block the road, and, moving in different directions, need the eyes of an Argus and the activity of an acrobat to avoid them. And when to these constant sources of peril are added the chances of the pavement being slippery either with frost or with mud, of an accidental piece of orange peel, or of a follow-wayfarer's umbrella or stick getting between the legs at a critical instant, the wonder is, not that so many perish, but that so many escape. It is no doubt the force of training that enables us to look four ways at once ; to mea sure the exact rate of progression of the carriages three ranks off ; to seize • Hansom horse by the bridle ; and to take shelter on an omnibus door step against the sudden rush of • dray pole, till by dexterity and judgment we effect a crossing. But the calculations we thus hourly make are ter ribly nice. To carry them into effect with safety needs coolness, decision, rapidity of movement, not given to many men, and given to very few women. The alternative is to wait. But waiting helps to make a crowd, and so to make matters worse, and in any case it involves serious loss of time. So we risk it ;we escape more or lean narrowly • certain number of times, and, perhaps, at last our time cornea, and we too appear in the Registrar's report. Nothing, unhappily, can be done to abate the perils of the streets altogether. Bat something might fairly be done to render them a little less frequently fatal. It must surely be possible to arrange matters so that people of ordinary strength and agility should be able to move along the streets without having the mind on a perpetual stretch, and that persons who are aged or infirm should be able to cross when necessary without the imminent risk they now run. One proposal has been made which would at least meet many of the present inconveniences. It is to erect light iron bridges fur foot-passengers at the moat frequented crosaiogs in the moat dangerous streets. These many persons would, of course, despise, brit they would be invaluable to all who are not in the prime of their vigour, and even to many who are vigorous enough, bet who are not foolhardy, and who are in haste. It would probably soon be found that, as a rule, time was saved by taking at once to the bridge, instead of pausing to look up and down tho street, and waiting for a favouring gap in the lines of wheels. But, however this might be, we are not the lees bound to do some thing for those of the community who are less active or more timid. We =mot forbid them the streets, and we are not jsati6ed in withholding from them any practicable means by which the necessary use they must make of the streets may be rendered leas hazardous. It is painful enough to see the terror with which old men, weak men, or women gaze at the passage their necessities compel them to make, and the pain is not lessened THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY by the knowledge that the tease Y well-fi Bat even in an economical view,therestire, be found to pay. A hundred WM of men, moat of them prolonbly atiaarting are lost every year ; a hundred eiantof 016, women, and children, all more or lam I of use in their generation. It may be difficult to compute the precise value of these lives, or the precise sum which in poor rates, in immense policies, in ices of trade or eustoin, their sacrifice oasts, but we must acknowledge that it can be no small sum: And to save even a few out of the number woul d be good interest on the outlay in bridges which we have recommended. Other measures of police may doubtless be use fully enforced, sad we have on former OCOSSi3DS adverted to some of these. We may hope that the completion of connecting lines of railway will somewhat diminish the heavy traffic of vans, end we must wish amen to the Pneumatic Deepatch. Company, whioh proposes to distribute packag es underground instead of through the streets. Much, i too, might be done by prohibiting stoppages to load or unload in some of the most fre quented and narrowest thorongbfares during the busiest hours, for evets stoppage creates a block, and every block implies danger as well as delay. We may ask that the traffic should be guided into certain routes ; that the streets should be made lees slippery by being better swept ; that water and gas companies should not be allowed to tear them up, in defiance of the provi sion of subways, for the reception of their pipes ; that bill-posters should be required to pursue their vocation at night, and not drive passengers into the gutter during the day; that hoenircarriere ea, distributors of handbills should be impartially suppressed in places where there is not room foe' the legitimate users of the pavement and roadway: Bat none of these methods for facilitating passage is so sufficient in itself as to exclude the others. We seed them all, and every other device which can be suggested with a view to diminish the destruction of life which disgraces the admi nistration of our streets, and which the hard figures of the REGISTELAB.-GENIERAL so emphatically proclaim. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) THE INSURRECTION IN JAMAICA. Enough is known, the Times observes, to show that the conspiracy was a dangerous one, and that the rising bad all the character of previous sure out. breaks—the only difference being that the leader in this ease, Mr. G. W. Gordon, was a man of property and position. It may be that Gordon, while organising the movement to eeterminate the whiter, intended to keep in the background, and that his arrest was owing to the government having received information of his procesdiup. For information on this "abject we mast wait for the next mail, which wi'l no doubt throw • light on • good deal which is still mystatioui. The trial of the ministers of religion, and of othen said to have been connected with • secret society called the "African Liberation &day " will probably teach us more of the causes and circumstances of the rising, and the nature of the influence which Gordon and his friends ex ercised. There have been also some arrests of Heytians, but the Times is not inclined to ascribe much to the teach ings Tel these people. Meanwhile the authorities appear to have acted with commendable promptness. II the island is to remain inhabitable by the whites, it is evident that for some time government must be administered with • strong hand, and if this cannot be done without extraordi nary powers, those powers should be freely weeded to it. The Daily Rees commences with the remark that the facts reported by the Jamaica journals clear the ground of • great many assumptions which bad passed unquestioned. There have been no simultaneous outbreaks to show the existence of an organised empire/3y. So far from the riot in St. Thomas being a sudden attack, it grew slowly oat of resistance to arrests ordered by the magistrates during the preceding two days. The vilest and most degraded of the population were attracted to the scene, and from St. Thomas detached patties proceeded to one or two neigh bouring residences, attvked and plundered them, beating and wounding such of the inmates as were obooxious to them. But this was the sum total of distarbanoe—ol "rebellion." Nowhere in the colonial papers are the arises of more than 15 persons who lost their lives at the hands of the losurpets, given. It wee right to deal sternly with armed resistance, but it appears from OW. Hobbes despatches that those who came is seek ing protection were thought worthy of death and executed. Captives made by special constables out of • "camp " were hanged forthwith ; and the terrified recognition by • "little fellow" tied to Col. Hobbes stinop, • revolver at his head, decided the fate of "captains, colonels, and secretaries, out of, an immense gang of prisoners." Others who were simply proved to be "stragglers" were lashed to • gun and catted, while one who after receiving about 47 lashes was thought to look de- Unity at the ProvosXMarshol, was taken from the gun directly and strong up. The savage race of Maroons, who 40 years ago were the slave-catchers of the planter', were let loose upon the people, and we reed of them decorated with their war paint, shooting men over the country, and dancing • war dance round the gallows of some who were hung. Such accounts must fill the English nation with horror and dismay. Withholding its opinion of the ramifications of the alleged conspiracy and of the guilt or innocence of those who have been arrested, until evidence arrives, the Daily News finds that the military despatches and the newspaper correspondence prove one thing suffi. ciently, that the dominant race has utterly lost courage and self-command. They prove that in an agony of apprehen sion officers and civilians are ring with each other in cruelty, that the thirst of blood, which we denounce in savages, can take possession too of English heart*. The Daly News implores our government to send out at ones some one who con stop this horrible outbreak of insane passion, and to make an unflinching investigation, to remove from the national Setif* even if we cannot otherwise punish, meu who are drawing on us the sxeoratioa of the civilised world. Even in her retirement the Queen herself unit tremble with indigos. Mon to see bow those who beer her commission deem it fitting in her name to wreak their mad vengeance on the noresistieg captives that fall into their hands. The Pose is of opinion that in dealing with such insur gents as the Degrees of Jamaica, it is absolutely essential that they should be mode to feel the full enormity of their crimes by indicting on them, without consideration of en, the greatest punishment which it is possible for human justice to impose. This outbreak most lead us to adopt a different attitude towards the negro population, and it might be well for the government to sweep sway the equality which has hitherto ex'ated between the colonist* and Degrees. The herald is sou the government will be supported in any proposition they may make to recognise the services the Maroons have rendered. The island must be rid of all the known agents in this miserable revolt, and the severest of our secondary punishments will be • light doom for them. The statement that two hundred rebels had been put to death may possibly, the Telegraph thinks, be an exoneration ; though, if that number happened to be caught, it does not see what else was to be done with them. The absolute right must be maintained of British , officers to shoot, bang, or otherwise slay any British sub. Ijut found in arms against the British crown. The Telegraph I would be glad to learn that the number killed was less ; 1 but it does not question the justice of the doom, and it rejoices that there was the vigour to onions it. 1 The representatives of British power, says the Star, seem so have displayed • fury of indiscriminating zeal which Alva himself might commend—which Claverhonse might deem . not unworthy of imitation. It requires strong nerves to read through the ghastly narrative. The accounts of the rebellion, its purpose, its projects, and its strength, ' are vague and speculative indeed; but the story !of its repression is printed in clear, deep, crim son lines. It is to be presumed that there is ' evidence is the possession of somebody to prove that the riot which broke out in front of the court-bows at lforant Bay sae actaally the premature explodes of a widely orgardepi rebel part of say such \ bee l al, Pl4 * . • s;:4l * - -• ' , ' t Vilma of w A in I ' f u republic eff whidly ire Be se paration from o upwards of 40 . 1.1' ago, has Lea ' growing riaber and ric her, sod has enMhd almoat uninter 1 reptsiffy bleriep of peace.

The attack upon Para was bad enough, but it is the last straw that brciles the camel's back, and this out rage upon Chili, coming so soon after the other, is really too mooch for the patience of the most pacific.

The Times this morning publishes an address from a body calling itself the Free Trade and Fiusocial Reform League of Victoria, appealing against what they characterise as the illegal conduct of the administration. This letter leads the Timor to give the facts of the contention between the council on the one side and the admimstration and sesumbly oo tire other, caning itself to the conolnsion that it is not easy to see hew Sir Charles Darling will justify his endues. The Victorian ministers have on this occasion been sup ported by the assembly, bat the machinery which they have used and which the Governor has sanctionod might be em ployed agaiest the assembly bye ministry supported by the council, or in opposition to the wishes of both houses.

Elizabeth Cleghogn Stevenson (for such was Mrs. Gaskell's maiden same) was bora at Chelsea in 1810 or 1811. It was at Earuteford, however, that her early life was tamed. Oar father the Rev. William fßevessca, had married a daughter of Mr. Holland, of Seale Bridge, and on her mother's early death, she was adopted before she wail • year old by her aunt, XnL Lamb, of Keutdord, also daughter of Mr. Holland, with whom she lived till her marriage with the Rev. W. Haskell, which took oleos in 1832, • year or two after his settlement as one of the ministers of Oran-skeet Chapel, Manchester. For many years after her marriage bar life was mainly devoted to the inattention of her children (four daughters), whom she brought up most tenderly. She steadily and corns_ teutly objected to her time being considered as belonging in any way to her husband's congregation for the purposes of congrogatirmal visiting, and to being looked to for that leadership is ecogregational work which is too often ex pected of " the minister's wife ;" but, at the same time, there have been few who have bean more willing than she was to give time, and thought, and trouble where she felt they would be of service: and many who, in their difficulties and troubles, have exporitheed her help and sympathy, which none could give more tenderly, will boar waling testimony to her thoughtful end abiding kind's's. At one time she visited much mom the poor is Manchester, to whom her delicate sympathy made bar • weloorne guest, and she was a lways interested in any pleas improve their which seemed to her adapted to oonditioe. Mr. Thomas Wright. better known as " the prima philanthropist," in his efforts to obtela work for discharged prisoners, always looked to her ea one oil his most cordial and reliable helpers. She was also much interested in the older girls at Lower atosleyntrost Sunday school, and for several years carried out a plea of having them at her own house ones • month, on Sunday afternoons, when she read and talked with them, sod, as one of these old pupils ex pressed it, " seamed to &vise what was in our hearts before we spoke it." She also gave up Saturday evening for some time, for the purpose of teaching them geography sad English history ; - sad these afternoons and ever:imp me still held is ebeentard remembrance of those who attended them. In ell this work she was unconsciously &squiring that sympathetic insight into the character of our northern reannfacturnag poor, which has hems one of the strongest sternest; of her literary racoons. Nor did her interest in these things cease even in the midst of the busy life which her literary career involved ; and those who were gagmen two years ego in grappling with the terrible distrait caned by the cotton famine know how devotedly she stranded in one of the sewi schools eetabtished in Manchader. tab* an ative ng part in the nisangemen, and lvalzbing and reading to the poor factory women whom those schools eadeavoured to rescue from the tempeetiose of that hard sad time. Her first west, " Mary Barton," written under the presence of • heavy sorrow as a means of occupying and distracting her mind, appeared anonymously in 1848. It at owe crested great interest, and when Mrs. Haskell was discovered to be the authoress. her reputation was thenceforth established. It hae boon followed at intervals by " Ruth,' " Creston'," " North and South," " krylvia's Lome," and many mailer stogies. The beautiful biography of Charlotte Hyalite is by some considered the work by which Mrs. °snail will be best remembered ; others place the Cranford papers highest in the scan. It would be out of place, however, to enter here into any criticism of Mrs. Geskell's works. Suffice it to say that the ready sympathy and the pleasant kindly humour which characterises them all gained for her friends in all reeks, and the news of her death will come with • sad surprise into many homes where her writings have been only the introduction to a loving regard for the unknown writer. The asperity of perfect quiet sad retirement while she was engaged in any of her works bad taken her a good deal from home, and it was while she was temporarily staying at Alton, in Hampshire , for this purpose, that her death oc curred. She paned away q uite oe suddenly in the midst of conversation with her da ughter, Beadily evening, having appeared especially well day.

He will then propose the financial projects he has prepared, and demand a vote of approbation or of blame, which will bring to an issue the ques tion of the existence of the cabinet." A Naples letter of the 11th says : King Victor Emmanuel arrived here at 11 o'clock on Friday evening, from Morena& after a keg and tedious • journey of 34 hoar& His Majesty was accompanied by Baron Natoli, Minister of the Interior ; General d'An• groin*, his sidedwasznp ; Major Jaequier ; °Wain Count Oestiglicais ; and his physician in ordinary, Dr. &demi. The King, having expressed a wish that there should be no official reception, the royal eortige, withost any escort, pawed along the quays, and arrived at the pdace, accompanied by more than 200 car riages illuminated with Bengal lights.

The p re sent occupants of the premises had o nly recently taken possession of the place and they had ligh ted upon the chil dren by accident, cc a shelf in the miler. The place had been occupied until recently by • Mr. John Ward. Mr. John Ward said that k• was • pang-can maker and undertaker, and until within the last seven months he carried on his business at 16, Milton-street, Cripplegan, end bad a cellar at No. 69. His brother acted as his foremen, and he also carried on a business of his own at 49, Holy welllane some sit years ago. His hrothar at that time fell into difficulties and had the broken put in upon him. He brought over four shells cooritanieg something hoary—witness did not know what—sod placed them on • shelf in the shop at 16, Milton street.

Bitting, in Bane.--bore Lord Chief Baron Polled, id Barons Bramwell, Channel!, and Pigott.) BOUILLON AND Win u. VALENTIN. • Yr. Berjeant Simon, oa behalf of Madame Vales* GIP defendant, resumed his argument against the rule Weed by the plaintiffs for a new trial. He commented %cage evidence at some length, and submitted that the Mr clant's story was consistent with the most perfect ince= on her part, observing, that though she was a kyt ma% there were wows of that class who were riot devoid d boor and truthfulness. For 32 years she bad lived with fl. Dm& as his wife, and having passed that period when the tom and charms of youth were wanting, she must hoe some virtue and goodness or he would not have mallet' to great her as his wife, or, on being not b Ins let 13 whetherta to marry her. The questioz was an the jury might have lona soother vwBA whether the learned judge, who presided as the trW, would have come to a different conc hnioo ' but s there was such an amount of error o n the part of tits*: as to make their verdiet manifestly wroog. Mr. Quoin followed OD the same side. The argument* had sot mocluded when our report lat months ago. Mr. Win. Ward, 10, Half Moonetreet, eaid that he was a packing ease maker and undertaker. He saw the four shells seen by the jury. He believed that he had seen them before. He bed them at No. 49, Holywell-lane. Coroner—How came you to have them then! Witness —People came to me and told me they were still born children, and asked me to remove them , sad I did so and pot the bodies in shells. Coroner—How did you know that the children were really stillborn? Witness—By the certificates, sir. Coroner—Have you got the certificates to show! Witness—To tell the truth I had the brokers in, and was removing and I lost the certificates. That was the zero* I could not bury them. I took them to the cellar right opposite (No. 69, I think) and placed them there. That was a long thus ago. Coroner—Did you get these children separately, or all four at oem? Wit n ess—I brought them away one at a time. Coroner—What doctor's certificate did you get! Witness—lt is so long ego that I cannot recollect the doctors' names. Coroner—Well, then, who were the parents! Witness—l do not recollect who they were. Bat on my oath I swear that I had a doctor's certified* that they were still-born children. A juror—How long had you the first child before the brokers were put in on you, and you lost the certificate in the confusion ? Witness—About eight or nine months. It was pure neglect on my part. I took the children, fully intending to bury them. I received about 4s. each for shells and burying. I put the certificates over my brother's shelf, and thus lost them. It is about is years since my brother removed to Milton-street. It is seven mouths since any brother left Milton-street. A juror—You had them several months, sad you did not use them to bury the children. Mr. F. Hamilton, surgeon, said—l was called yesterday to the cellar at No. 69, Mfltoo-street, and there sew tear ehildree in shells. I should say that the cod most recently Mad hid been dead some ran. It was quite impossible to say what the sax was. The child N0...' hai been dead for • longer time. It was doubled up in a meaner that seemed to indicate an attempt to cowed the body. It was apparently an rest ire:ads' child. No. 3 child was evidently • Ind-months child. It was wrapped in a sort of calico check; there wee lime in the coffin. The child No. 4 was deo • nineroothe' child. It had been many years dead j the flesh adhering to the hoses was quite mummified. It was imporible to tell the sex of any of the children. The boom of the head were entire ; there were no fractures visible and if they lad died by vieleace he deuld look to the skulls to ascertain the fact. He could not say anything farther on the subject. Mr. W. Ward woe recalled and asked why one of the child bed been doubled up. He said that it might have been done to make the - body M in the coffin. lie would take his oath that there was so lime put on the bodies. It might have been ebloride of lime that the doctor found, but he bad not put even that in the coffins. Wider bad all four children in his possession six years ago. When be re. moved he had sot had them more thee • few months. TheCorooer summed up and mid they the inquiry was a most necessary and important ens. It disclosed the facilities that added for the disposal d deed children, and the attendee of the police authorities ought to be directed to the matter. If the jury believed that the children had been foully dealt by they should return • verdict of " wilful murder," but it did not seem probable that they would take that view after the medicslevidenos. Mr. W. Ward said that if the children had bees min. dared it was not likely that he would have kept their bodies where they were found. The Coroner said that he coacarred in that view. The jury returned • verdict " That the four children in question were feud dead in • certain °Oar, but there was no evidence to prove whether they were dill-horo or bad been hors alive, and if the latter hew they came by their deaths ; and that the jury toned that the conduct of the undertaker was severely reprehensible, and they reqsast that the attention of the Commisaiseers of Police may be called to the matter." -_ - - COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVOROL (Before the Judge Orthearf.)

Several German journals state that the Grand Duke of Beden is suffering from siren' slight attacks of congestion of the brain, which have produced a derange. meat of the mental faculties. Accounts direct from Carlo rube confirm the above, and declare that the state of the Grand Duke has recently grown worse. The Inoalide Busse publishes the following news from Warsaw :—" The recruitment in the kingdom of Poland has been accomplished in perfect order. The drawing took place everywhere on the 7th and Bth. On the 9th the operation was finished all over the country. A Florence letter of the 13th says :—" All the representative. of the courts in diplomatic relation with Italy have arrived be Florence during the week. The diplomatic Corp. therefore complete, and ready to watch, with different interests, the animated disctusions which are likely to moue in the legislature. The Florentine municipality is preparing to celebrate worthily the opening of the parliament. The public buildings will be illu. minated, the palaces and bridges decorated with masts and banners—in short everything will be done to give the day the character of a national festival." A letter from Florence of the 12th says : " Patti made her first eppearanee last night at the Paean° Theatre in La Sounambula, —a crowded house, and, u I em told, a triumphant success. She is engaged for tea per formances, and will sing in the Barticre and another opera." The Richmond Enquirer gives a glowing picture of the new prosperity of that city. We are told that " the ascending walls and swiftly changing scenes from a theatre of ashes and destruction to vistas of industrial monuments, grow upon the senses as dreams grow and accumulate upon the imagination. The merchants of Richmond, beginning the new era without money and almost without friends, are now, by their own efforts, re. gaining with sum and steady steps the path of their former prosperity, and opening a dill broader avenue to a still more extensive success.
