ADMIRAL FITZROY ON THE WARNINGS WHICH PRECEDED THE LATE GALE. THE 'PAROCHIAL AssEssimers BILL The Bill to amend the Law relating to Parochial Assaluneets al England, introduced into parliament by Sir • Cones Lewis and Mr. Clive, has just been printed. The pleamble of the bill, after reciting the Parochial itoremmeete Act of the 6th and 7th William IV., cap. US, and that of the 16th and pith Victoria, cap. 81, to - date and sinned the statutes relating to the and collection of county rates in England and Wales, states that it is expedient that some more effectual provision should be made for establishing one uniform mode of rating for the re lief of the poor in England, and assessing county rates. Clause 1 is merely as to the interpretation of terms, whilst clause 2 proposes to repeal the two acts referred to in the preamble, the existing Parochial Assesameute Acts. But whilst these acts are to be repealed, the third section provides that in making amassment' the existing rule of rating shall be coo tiuued, viz. That every rate for the relief of the poor I shall be made upon an estimate of the net annual value of the several hereditanienta rated thereunto (that is to Day), of the rent at which the same might reasonably be expected to ' let from year to year, free of all usual tanantie rates and taxep, and tithe commutation rent charge, and deducting there from the probable average annual cost of the repairs, issue saes, sad other expeoace, if any, necessary to maintain them rsotate to command such rent, and the net animal value "WI be estimated accordingly under the provisions of this act." Clause 4 is the one which will no doubt smite the opposition of the parishes. It proposes " That this pudica of the peace for every county shell, at the Michael- mes quarter maidens after the commencement of this act, or at scene adjournment of such Deadens, appoint any Dumber of sucklentioes, not lea than lye nor more than eleven, •' to be a bard, to be called the assessment Viotti for such county for the anpervision and control of the valuations to be made as hereinafter mentioned within such county, and for the perfumeries of sulk other acts and 'duties as here inafter directed." Scythia 5 giros power to Jonas to ' point such assessment board at subserit quarter sew stone, and to fill up vacancies caused by death or otherwise. The councils of boroughs not subject to be reseed to any county rate have the power of appointing an assessment board tram their council, criesistang of not less than four or mono than ten members, at their first quarterly meeting after the paining of the act, and to All up vacancies from time totiase. Clauses 8 and 9 enact that when there are lass than five justices they am to constitute the board, and pores all the powers of a board ; whilst 'setae 10 de clares that the authority of such justice@ shall extend over every pariah locally situate within their county not being within any borough for which an assessment board is au , *Grimed, and the authority of the bard appointed for a henivilt to extend over every perish within such borough. Sections 11, 12, and 13 provide for the holding of meet toga, and the members forming the quorum of such emcee meet boards, not being less than three, and give than power to appoint and receive such clerks, surveyors, valuers, and other officers, is they think necessary for the execution of the act, and assign and allow salaries, wages, and remu neration to such officers respectively. It will be seen, therefore, that thim clause will not only plate a large amount of patronage in the hands of the several assessment boards, but involve the several districts in a large amount of extra taxation fur services of officials. Section 14 provides that the proosedisga of the respective boards shall be entered in minute books kept by the clerk of each board, to be used as evidence, and to be opened for in spection, and the taking of extract therefrom by persons rated or liable to be rated to the relief of the poor or county rata, at reasonable times. By section 15, boards, so aeon as vibration lista of the rateable property in parishes, kc., shall have been made and approved by them, shall send to the Secretary of State a report of their pro.

Section 16 empowers each assessment board to order from tune to time, from overseers and other persons having the custody of any books of assessment of any taxes citrates, parliamentary or otherwise, returns of the mina- Peet et an pariah, and may require the production of rates, and the parties on oath ; and clause 17 compels sock eireneers to prepare valuation Este within three months after the appointment of the board. Clause 18 Is calculated to involve the parishes in an enormous amount of expenditure, as the assessment boards have the power of ordering at pleasure Dew valuations of parishes and districts, and appointing persons either to revise or make sew plans or maps and carry out such valuations ; sod clause 18 directs that such list shall be &peeked at a place notified by the overseers for inspection, and at the expira tion of fourteen days such valuation list is to be trans mitted to the board.'

LONDON FEVER lIOBPITAL.—The fig ninth meet ing of this institution was held on Friday a , at the Freemasons' Tavern ; the Right Hon. Lord Moetag Adept, took the chair. Among those preempt werriirett Owen, Esq. (Hoc. See.) John H. Allem, Fag., (3. Q Also, Esq., James Bennett, N. G. Buchanan, &C., Beery J. Hodgson, Esq., T. M.D., J. 11.

The report also stated that there had been a steady decree= ia the prevaleeee of fever in the metropolis during the last three years, but it did not therefore follow that it night not again, and suddenly, become epidemic. Fluctuation was one of the most striking characteristics of this disease. The monthly atheirssoes indicated a remarkable evenness in the pre valence of fever during the put year. The daily average number of patients in the hospital during the past year was 30. In 247 only of the total admissions were the tut* characteristic marks of fever present, so that the large proportion of 144 must be considered labouring under as er some other form of acute disease of which fever was the umesquesee, not the case. Of the whole number of admissions, 127, or nearly one-third, have been domestic servants. This class of patients were, fur the most part, in a better state of health than a greater number of the general patient., and the mortality is proportionately lees. By tie prompt removal of these servants into the ward., of the hospital, 127 families had been at once relieved from the demister • aaziety, and danger inseparable from an outbreak of fever at their bowies.

TO TIM EDITOR OP Tilt EIPREIO3. Ste,—A letter in the Times of this day, from Mr. Jackson, of Hartlepool, not only requires some remarks from me (as the Meteorological Officer acting under authority of the Board of Trade), but seems to call for • few sentences of practical information about a frequently misunderstood fact—the rising of a barometer before and d uring a northerly (north-west to north-easterly) gale. Mr. Jackson' says that the barometer bad been " low, with south-west winds, on Friday morning—began to rise, and continued rising, with a decreasing temperature, Fri day, Saturday, and Sunday, from 24 hours before the gale to 24 hours after." And if he had read the sixpenny " Barometer Manual," published yearly since 1856, by the Board of Trade, and circulated gratis in many direc tions, especially among the fishermen around Great Britain an/Ireland, he would have known that the very signs which be mentions coming after an unusually low barometer and southerly wind indicated strong northerly gales. In the morning of Wedeeeday, Feb. 6th, the !Ammeters (two, Kew verified) at Nairn, in Scotland, were at 28.66—at Pen zance, only four days previously, two similar ones were at 30.80. From the Ist to the ith of February —a whole week —the barometer not only continued falling, or oscillated (always a bad sign), over all the British islands, bet it fell remarkably low at some places. On Tuesday night, the sth, it blew "a tremendous gale from the south-watt" at Queenstown ; at Dover, the wind early on the 6th was re purted as 10, in force, from the &W. In South Kent it was called "a hurricane "—and at sea, southward of Ire land, vemals bad • " south-wester" in full violence. Wed nesday and Thursday were quiet comparatively—here (not so within • few hundred miles ; at Marseilles and elsewhere, perhaps including the Black Sea), but on Friday the foretold Northerly gale began to blow, and as it restored the level, or equilibrium, of the atmosphere, of course it raised t►e barometer. Boma obervations in the Slapping Gazdte of the 14th induced me to write a letter to the editor, in which was the following passage t—" The barometer began to rim just before the gale set in from the northward, Amin more rapidly as it blew stronger. And why? Because the polar current of wind was rushing, as a fluid current, towers the place of low barometer, where a comparative deficiency bad existed, which it not only filled up, but, having once acquired impetus, or momentum, filled up to a height exceeding that which is usual or normal at the sea levelAnamely, about thirty inches." The previous fall of the barometer with unusually high temperature expressed as plainly as words could have done, " lloutherly wind with rain" (" southerly " including southeast to south-westerly). That wind, though it blew bard, did not restore the level (or equilibrium) of the atmosphere, and therefore till the polar current approached, the glass continued to fall, or oscillated while low. Direeily the northerly wind's ap proach was felt the barometer began to rise—the thermo- meter was already falling—and both thus moved for a time In opposite directions, one rising for the direction of the wind, while the other fell for its temperature. The great practical difficulty in using • barometer le avoiding the natural inclination to draw conclusions hastily, without thinking enough of its foretelling properties, so often insisted on in the Board of Trade " Manual," and the more explanatory pamphlet, the " Barometer Guide." The main em rents of de atmosphere polar and tropical (taking them on • large scale) advance along the earth's surface side by side in nearly opposite directions, more Or lees superposed, or conflicting in every kind of combination, and turning each other in all varieties of eddies (cyclones), though usually in one way. While advancing northward or southward they move also laterally (like a ship making lee way) towards the east, their elasticity, fluid properties, and different temperatures (voter influence and eloctricity of course their roainsprimpi) occasioning all the varieties of weather, all the alternations and degrees of vapour, fog, rain, snow, hail, and cloud that we experience. • The gales of the Mb, Nth, and 9th of this month were eyeleale combination. Ose cyclone, of which the osn• triad area bore northwestward from Nairn, was of large extent. Its southern half was checked and temporarily overborne by another advancing rapidly from the south westward, which combined with and augmented the strength of the polar current that on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (10th) swept acmes the north sea, west of Europe, aad beyond the west of Ireland, much farther and wider than the extent of the " Royal Charter" storm. Widely extended and general irregularities of the atms• phere— such as were shown by ir.struments before the Rays Charter, the Whiteuntkle, the St. Kilda, and other storms —are easily noticed, and are certain to be followed by =WO or lass strength of wind, although net is all, or even many plains, because currents - of wind, like those of water, circu late, intermix, or follow one another, moving swiftly in sons breadths, slowly in others, scarcely at all in or near their respective centres of circulation. Hence some places escape the violence of • storm, whilst others, ova we Itiom, feel its full fury. Elaborate and complicated as may be the scientifio re searches of meteomlogy, the practical use of its resulta is happily most simple, and available to any one who will read brief instructions, notice ordinary weather glasses, and ob. serve changes in the heavens. Feb. 16. ROB. FITZ ROY. CRYSTAL PALACE. We were almost surprised to futd at this early period of the season, and with such unmistakeable signs of wet weather overhead, so numerous and fashionable an irradiates as tilled the concert•room at the Crystal Palace on Saturday last. The company quite overflowed the space allotted, and blocked up all the doorways. The miscellaneous concert was good, and carefully performed as usual, but the peat awl immediate attraction was the famous Belgian violinist, M. Vieurtemps, who played an elaborate concerto of Lie own with wondrous tone, certainty, and power, and afterwards completely electrified the audience by has per formance of "St. Patrick's-day." The directors have not as yet completed their programme for the summer season, but probably musical entertainment, on a gigantic scale will be among the most prominent features. The celebrated M. Blondin has, we understand, made repeated proposals for a series of his ex traordisary performances, but as yet it is not de cided whether his name is or is not to figure in the bills. The success of the School of Art has, we believe, quite equalled the most sanguine expectations. The draw ing and music classes are filling rapidly, and the scientific lectures are delivered to constantly iocreamieg audiences. Not only have these schools absorbed all the teaching of the neighbourhood, but their establishment has caused an in creased demand for houses, and given a proportionate im pulse to building in the vicinity. The refreshment depart ment u being entirely remodelled, under the personal super intendence of Mr. Strange, and that enterprising caterer pledges himself that when the excursion neaten comes round, "the million" will be better cared for and more liberally treated than under any previous management. THE SPECIAL SUNDAY EVENING SERVICES. YeNtercLty evening the nave of Westminster Abbey was completely filled by an auditory composed to a consi derable eateut of working men, for whom the special services were mainly designed. Full choral service was per formed, the prayers being said by the Rev. Precentor Haden, who appeared to be labouring under indisposition. Gene rally he is well beard by the whole congregation, but last night his voice *as feeble, and at times he was scarcely heard half way up the nave. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. W. C. Magee, minister of Quebec Chapel, 84. klarylebose, who hes recently been nominated to the rectory of Roniskillen, Ireland. He selected far his text the second verge of the second chapter of St. Paul's Epistle to the Hebrews :—" For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every trampoline and disobedience received a just re compense el reward, sew shall we 'Nape, if we meekest so great eavatios As soon as the mai& pert of the ser vice was over, sad the reedier had coesosuced the prayer preparatory to the Bermes, upwards ol 100 ponces rose and left the church, nosing much contemns.

There are no doubt many persons at home who have some notion of emigrating to British Colum bia, and are anxious to receive authentic informa tion as to the latest news from the dimings, and to learn what opinion is now entertained here with regard to the future of the colony. As regards the gold mines of the Similkameen and Rock Creek, discovered last summer, I shall not say much about them, as I have had an opportu nity of conversing with very few miners who had been there ; and therefore my information is de rived chiefly from the colonial papers, which I sup pose are forwarded to England. It appears that the diggings there are not disappointing the first expectations. They are tolerably rich and remu nerative, and although by no means so wealthy as the more recently discovered diggings of Cariboo, they have one advantage . over the latter, in that they can be worked longer in' the season, as the winters are not so severe down there. At the Similkameen there are also large tracts of open land, suitable for stock-raising and for agriculture. But what has caused the greatest excitement among miners, and raised the hopes of the well wishers of the country to the utmost, is the dis oovery, a few months ago, of rich gold diggings at Cariboo, and of extensive leads of silver ore on the Lilloet River and Harrison 'Ake in September last. Tlie ,Cariboo dimitigii, the most productiVe yet discovered in British ColUmbia ' extend over 'a con siderable rangeof country from 300 to 356 miles to the north and north-east of this town.' AliCayeesh lies on the highway from that country to New Westminster, Victoria, and the world in general, we have had ample opportunity of seeing such of the miners as have left Caribou, of hearing their report, and seeing their gold. Many of them, how ever—and those are for the most part the most sue oessful companies—are wintering on the ground in order to be able to resume operations as early as possible in the spring. Of those who have come down, not a few appear to have been unsucoessfuL But so it always ie. In California, at the very best diming., many made nothing. But I must ten you, all of those with whom I have conversed—and I have conversed with many—have the strongest belief in the wealth of the mines, and they all, with scarcely an exception, de clared their intention of returning there next spring. They say they have learnt by their expe rience this autumn how the mines are to be worked and where the gold is to be found, and they expect next year to reap a golden harvest. The successful " boys " who have come down have brought considerable sums. I will mention a few cases, which have mostly come under my own obser vation. 1. A company of four men had 401 be. of gold apiece. 2. Four others brought 15,000 dollars. 3. A French company brought 25,000 dollars -5,0001. 4 Six men made in eight weeks'72o ma, and, as from its superior quality, this gold is worth 18 dollars per ox., this is equivalent to the sum of 2,5021., pretty fair wages for eight weeks' work. 5. The newspapers report that the steamer to New Westminster, of Oct. 24, had on board 100,000 doh., the large proportion of which was from the diggings of Cariboo. 6. One claim is reported to have paid 60, another 73, and a third even 100 dollars a day. No doubt there were con siderable expenses connected with working the mines, and provisions were very high, but these will be much lower next spring. The " dust" from Cariboo is of very superior quality to that found anywhere else in British Columbia. I believe I saw the largest piece of gold found in the country the other day; it weighed 78 dollars, 151.—itwas from Cariboo. The miners impish' of the shortness of the seems, which allows them to work only five or six months of the year. This is of course a disadvantage to the in dividual miner, still if in the summer he can make sums like those I have mentioned, he has no reason to complain. Yet in another point of view, the circumstance is of advantage to the country. It is not here as in California, where they could work the mines all the year round. But what was the consequence in that country I The mines were speedily worked out, and only a few obtained heaps of gold, more than many of them knew how to spend to the profit of themselves or others. Here, on the contrary, a number of people will obtain not great wealth but still a competency. Be sides, in this arrangement I think we can trace the finger of Providence, whose design it does appear to be that this country shall be peopled. Because if the mines could be worked the whole year, and thus in the course of a year or two per haps become worked out, there would probably be then an end of the country. Because the obstacles in its way are so great—the distance from England, for instance, the rough nature of the country, the difficulty of making roads, Ac.—that without some strong attraction people would not come to it, and without some powerful tie they would not stay in it. As it is, however, the mines will hold out, in all probability, for many years : meanwhile the land will be thoroughly explored ; the pasture lands and arable valleys which lie beyond its mountains will become better known ; farmers will settle there, and homesteads and villages will spring up. So long as there is gold in the country and other precious metals people will flock to it, from all nations and of all trades, knowing that wherever there is gold there are good wages for the working man, a com petence for the merchant, a fortune for the wise wan of capital. So that before the last gold-digger has shouldered his shovel and pickaxe to leave the last gold field, while silver and copper and iron works are still going on in many parte of the land, British Columbia will be peopled by an industrious and prosperous population, and this youngest colony of England will be worthy to be named along with Canada and Australia, New Zealand and the Cape. The mining operations here continue with un abated vigour. Notwithstanding the date at which I write, the weather is clear and beautiful and far from cold. The miners cannot, however, look fur a respite much longer. At present they are making in the diggings below the town an average of six dollars a day. At a mine just struck three miles off they take out from three to ten dollars a day. But the most important operations going on here are preparatory to next year's mining. Two com panies both English, are to be engaged during the winter in making ditches at different parts of the river. One of these will convey water a distance of eight miles. It is a Herculean task for eight men to accomplish, but I have no doubt they will succeed in completing it. When finished this ditch will give water enough for work to 3,000 or 4,000 men, and so abundant is the gold-bearing soil in the vicinity, they may all make from four to eight dollars a day for years. Indeed, a great deal of the soil in the neighbourhood of this town is auriferous, and it will take many a long day be fore it is all Washed out. In an agricultural point of view travellers speak favourably of the country between this and Cariboo. There are large tracts of open land, table lands 1,000 square miles in extent, covered with fine herbage, and pleasant valleys, capable of being brought into cultivation. The banks of the Bonaparte, which is fifty miles from here, are said to be very fertile, and there as well as at other places enterprising men have taken up land, and begun with encouraging success to raise stock and to cultivate the soil. Here, as I have said, the land is sandy and in need of irrigation, but when watered it is very fertile, and, so great is the heat of the summer sun, it will bear probably any man ner of fruit or vegetable. It already supplies the *Own with admirable vegetables, and next year its capacities will probably be tested still further. As this is one of the most thriving towns of the colony, and as from its central position (being the point where the Harrison-Lilloet trail joins the Fraser) and other advantages, it may possibly ere long eclipse the others, and become the most populous place in the country ; it may interest you to hear, that it is at present very lively and flourishing. Six weeks ago there seemed little doing here but since then the news front the Cariboo mine* have given a wonderful impetus to Cayoosh. Houses are going up in every direction, lots are in universal request, a new saw mill is to be built close to the town, and a bridge across the Fraser is spoken of, and likely to be accomplished too. As might be expected, everything is high hers, though not unreasonably so ; flour being sd. per lb. and beef is. On the other hand wages are also high, and a good workman gets 20s. and 245. a day, and sometimes even 30s. I may here remind your readers that the men who are wanted most in these new places, and who are most likely to get on, are those who can turn their hand to a variety of different pursuits. We don't want men who can turn out an unimpeachable boot or shoe, or . cut a coat in which one might walk unabashed down Regent-street. We went men who know something beyond their own minute line of business. Here the dictum, Ne sitter ultra crepidain must be reversed ; the colonial &hoes* must have a larger range of vision, hi must knew at least the nough rudiments of many an art besides cobbling ; he must be able to turn his hand I. anything; to fell w, tree and builds house, to dig a garden, and sow a field, sic. - Not that he will have anything very difficult to do, or that anything like consummate art will be looked, for in what he turns out; if he be a man of eerse ' and experience, he will do admirably, especially if ; he can acquire some knowledge of carpentry, brick- laying, and the ordinary occupations and trades. , Here, as Henry Russell asps, "A man is a man if he's , willing to toil, and children are blessings . . ." AL, that reminds me I have a piece of advice to give to any working man who may be thinking of ' coining out here—and that is, if he has a wife, • to bring her with him. lie may rest assured she .. will be more a help than a burden. The country is , now quite civilised enough for wives, and quite . uncivilised enough to need them greatly. Nov. In my letter of yesterday I allowed myself to d4rem into some remarks on the colony in gene ra 4 and this town of Cayoosh in perticular, and I omitted to give the information I promised regarding the discoveries of silver leads. Theee 'savories are even more recent than that of the gold gs of the Cariboo. di t ib the end of September last, on my way hither from Douglas, I spent a day in the camp of the Royal Engineers on the bank of the river Linos.; who were engaged in finishing . a road thirty miles out, from Douglas. On arriving there I learnt that a lead of silver ore of great richness had been disco-' vered the day previouli by Dr. Forbes, of H.M.S. Topaze. The lead was on the road close to the' camp, and had been brought to light by the blastingir of the rock in making the road. It was some , thirty feet wide, and had been traced three miles into the mountain. A piece of the ore wa: melted, and produced a considerable ?plan. tity of silver ; although the piece was small, it yielded as much as would make from sixpence tee one shilling. From this it is evident'that the mine will pay when it comes to be worked. Besides, the further into the rock you go the richer it would become. I was further informed by the doctor of, the detachment that he had found a similar mine of silver a few miles further on, on the margin of what is commonly known as the Little Lake, at the head of the Lilloet River. Two silver mines of considerable wealth and extent had been discovered also by Dr. Forbes, on a river which flows into Lake Harrison, about one hundred miles front New Westminster. Gold was also found there. I have also heard of silver having been found within a few miles of this place • and miners from the upper' ountry speak of laid which they have seen an different places. And finally, there can be no doubt that the mines discovered last summer at Fort Hope are both extensive and rich. Now, leaving out of account those reports of the miners, although next year these may also receive confirmation,' should government wisely send some one to prospect this part of the country, not taking them into account, we have still the indubitable evidence based on competent knowledge of the existence of those other silver mines of which I have spoken ; those at Hope, which indeed are already being worked to a small extent, and those on the Lilloet River and the Harrison Lake. In all these cases the ore maybe conveyed away either by water or by land, and may even be taken home in ships to be niched in England. By and by% however, doubtless the mines will be worked in this country, and perhaps even next year some enterprising capitalist may come out to work them. But silver, unlike gold, which each man may wash for himself, requires large capital and an elaborate organisation. Perhaps when the news of these mines reaches England companies may be formed, the necessary capital raised, and the whole ma chinery set in operation. The prospects of this colony were never better than they are now, nor indeed were they ever so good. People who had hitherto been more or less sceptical as to its turning out well, now with one 'mos affirm that "the country is made." The darkest times are past, and the dawn of a brighter day seems breaking. ITALY. According to letters from Naples, General Fer rari one of the aides-de-camp of Francis 11., has died at Gaeta of typhus fever. The Duke de San Vito was carried off by the same disease about.two months before. It appears certain that the seeds of that complaint bad manifested themselves among so many men shut up for three months in the fortress, and that this tendency, without having made very great progress, nevertheless contribut ed to excite alarm. A letter from Turin, of the 13th, rays : Count Came is to leaveto-niarrow for Milan to join the Sing. General de la Marmora arrived here last mooing from his mission to Berlin, and the Council of Ministers assembled this morning to hear his report. He is to ac company the President of the Council to Milan. An under standing will be there come to with the King on the minis terial modifications which have been so long announced, and it is probable that the general will return to the Ministry of War, which he directed dosing many yours with great success. His entrance into the cabinet will com plete the reconciliation which has taken place between Count Cevour sod M. Itatimai, he being a political humid of the latter. and having been one of his cabinet after the peace of Villgfrance. General Ilixfo returned from ea pren some days back. He has had several conferences with Count Carour, and has brought about a good understanding between the Minister and Garibaldi. The oelebratel ex- Dictator demands the thorough arming of the country, and the Ministry is disposed to satisfy him. Intelligence from Turin gives the following classification of the 417 deputies elected for the Italian parliament ; uncertain 11 ; united oppo sition, 73 ; ministerialists, 339.
