MEMBER RETURNED TO SERVE IN THE PRESENT PARLIAMENT. The attendance to-day at the rooms was rather numerous, and much business was done in the way of enrolling subscribers for the present year ; but, as regards betting, actual transactions were few. The Chester Cap now begins to be much talked about, and the entries for it are looked upon as being good, considering that many horses were dis qualified for having ran in Selling Stakes under the Shrewsbury negociations. As we have upon a previous occasion stated, the majority of the book-makers have, during the pre sent winter, refrained from betting upon this event until the weights are published ; and, with the ex ception of them now offering 1,000 to 30 on the field, they appear determined to adhere to their re solution. Perhaps it would be as well to mention the names of those hones that have figured promi nently in the little bating that has been done, which are as follows :—Rocket, Dulcamara, Good Friday, Volatore, Physician (by Chanticleer), Ge neral Bosquet, Tinwold, and Night Ranger. For the Derby, Ditto was backed to win 5001. at 22 to 1 ; 300 to 20 was taken about Toxopholite, and 450 to 25 about Sedbury. 25 to 1 was offered against Longrange, and 100 to 8 against Clydes dale. For the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes offers against Clydesdale were numerous at 4 to 1, and one bet of 100 to 20 against came under our notice ; but from what we have at preseut seen we consider that over the market price. 100 to 15 was offered against Brother to Marchioness, and 10 to 1 bar two. Closing prices : Two THOUSAND GUINEAS STAKES. 4 to_ 1 apt Clydesdale (offered) 100 to 15 agst Brother to Marchioness (offered) 10 to 1 bar two (offered) • DERBY. (From the Report of the Registrar General.) The total number of deaths registered in London in the week that ended on Saturday, Jan. 2, was 1,431, of which 755 were deaths of males 676 thos3 of females. In the 10 years.lB47-56 the average number of deaths in the weeks correspond ing with last week was 1,288 ; and if, for compari son with last week's return, the average is raised in proportion to the increase of population that has taken place since the deaths in those years occurred, it will become 1,417. Hence it appears that the number of deaths in the present return differs only to a small extent from the estimated amount. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Murphy.) There were upwards of 20 cases before the learned commissioner, of which 18 wore final orders. Some creditors opposed, and in two or three cases arrange.: meats were made for the benefit of creditors and insolvents. Creditors consider it hard that their debtors should come to the court, rather than make an effort to pay them.

ENGLISH LADIES IN INDIA. • Just ready, in 2 vols., p os t B vo. 215.. with numerous engravings, A TIMELY RETREAT ; or, A YEAR IN BENGAL IN 1856-57. By MADELEINE A. WALLACE 'DUNLOP. London : Richard Bentley, Publisher in irdina - ry to Her MAjesty The increase in the registered deaths of last week, as compared with these of the earlier weeks of De cember, is not due to increased mortality, but to more than the usual number of deathi on which inquests had been held having been entered iu the regist-ers last week, many of these in point of . time belonging to former weeks. This usually occurs at the end of the quarter. • Diseases of the zymotic or epidemic class were fatal last week in 224 oases, the corrected average of corresponding weeks being 289. Whooping cough was decidedly the most fatal of the diseases in this class ; it rose from 48 and 37 in the two pre vious weeks to 57 last week.. The next in degree of fatality was measles, which caused 45 deaths ; typhus (including common fever) carried off 42 per sons ; scarlatina, 25 children ; croup, 13. Bron chitis. (the result...of influenza) continued to be un usually fatal. No case of small-pox is recorded ; ove of infantile cholera. Eight persons are returned whose deaths resulted directly from the excessive use of intoxicating liquors, besides those who re ceived fatal injuries while in a state of intoxication. The number of cases in the year 1857 in which in temperafice had a directly fatal effect was 111, or rather more on the average than two in a week. It is further to be observed that the deaths in the re gisters of the year ascribed to delirium tremens ex ceed those referred to intemperance. Four deaths in the week were caused by carbuncle. Six nonagenarians are included in the present re turn ; one was 90 years of age at death, one 92, twe 93, one 96, and one 97 years. Besides these, a man is Aldgate was registered at the ago of 100 years. Last week the births of 1,041 boys and 892 girls, in all 1,933 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1847- 56 the average number was 1,437. • At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 30.357 in. The mean daily reading rose above 30 in. on Tues day, 22d ult., and continued above it during the 11 days following. The highest reading of the baro meter last week was 30.45 in. on We inesday. The mean temperature of the week was 391 deg., which is 2.1 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean daily range of temperature was 11.7 deg. The highest temperature occurred on Friday, and was 48 deg. ; the lowest was 30.8 deg. on Thursday. The mean dew paint temperature was 37.4 deg., and the difference between this and the mean air temperature was 1.7 deg. The mean daily degree of humidity of the air was 93 ; on Tuesday and Wednesday the humidity was 99, complete satura tion being equal to 100. The wind blew mostly from the south-west and south east. The moan temperature of the water of the Thames was 45.1 deg. No rain was measured by the guage in the week. lIANWELL COLLEGE, under the enperin tendence of the Rev.

Prince Boothby inherited a large fortune from an old lady of paradoxical appearance whom, seeing alone, ho escorted through the crush-room of the opera. Mr. Green yras enriched by volunteering a seat in his pew to the stranger Wilkinson. Mr. Way was similarly rewarded for offering a segment of his umbrella to an elderly gentleman in the streets. Young ladies civilly treated by a stranger have re warded with their hands, hearts, and considerable fortunes, the spontaneous gallantry. In fact, civility generally meets with some return, while it costs nothing. It is never out of place, and secures respect and popularity, often in spite of defects and moral obliquities. But if civility is never out of place, it is never more appropriate than at this festive season. As hospitality, it assumes at this period its most attrac tive garb. Christians and Englishmen expand under the influence of frosty weather. The rich man gives the beggar a sixpence not so easily ob tained in milder weather ; and the individual man contemplates his fellow-individual, even though unknown, with genial effusion. _ i 8 agat-Qty,.;3sdale (o red) 15 to 1 aot Tox.pholite (taken) 18 to 1 eget Sedbury (taken) 22 to 1 aget Ditto (taken) 25 to 1 eget Longrange (offered) MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.---Jan. 5.

The prisoner, who was standing about a yard from him, was looking in at the window at the same time. While so engaged witness heard a crash and breaking of glass, and on turning round be saw the pis ner withdrawing his hand from a hole in the pane of glass. Upon that he started off, followed by witness to the end of Essex-court, where he lost sight of him.

William Latham, assistant to Mr. Higginbotham, said on the night in Clues' ion he heard a great smash ing of glass in the window, and on going outside be saw a gold chain lying on the pavement, and a large stone within the window, with which, no doubt, the glass had been broken.

I I THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH AND MATURITY Just published, price is., post free, in an Flavelooe, for 13 stamps, ELF - PRESERVATION. —A M edical Treatise on the Functions and Disorders of the Generative System, and on the cure of Nervous and Physical Debility, resulting from vicious habits acquired during the critical passage from youth to Manhood, with practical observations on the Physiology or Mar riage in its social, moral, and physical relations. To which are added zemarks on the wonders of the Microscope in revealing the hidden mysteries "of Life within Life," and its advantages in detecting, by urinary examination, the cause and effect of every variety of these complaints, with numerous engravings and cases. Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Han, London, &e., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences result;ng from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly re commended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the h"alth, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It Is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are rinciples of perrsonal management which cannot be violated with , ut incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of incoesiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may he removed, and how the evil and its consequences esay be avoided, and, above all, that there is soarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

THOMAS SAYERS AND WILLIAM BENJAMIN, FOR 2001. A-SIDE AND THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF ENGLAND. —Tom Sayers step by step has fought his way up to the championship of England. Sayers's last achievement within the rapes, prior to the present match, was with the colossal Tipton, whom he de feated with ease. At first the challenge of his op ponent of yesterday was consi&red by the friends of Sayers to be mere braggadocio, but it watrsoon plain that Benjamin, novice that he wag, meant business from the ready manner in which he pro duced the needful to make the match. Benjamin is a remarkably fine athletic young fellow, stand ing 5 feet NI inches, and weighing 12 stone, so that in these respects ho possessed considerable ad vantage over his opponew, and looked from top to toe big enough to contend for the championship. The result, however, proved how ridiculous it is to bring an untried man, and set him at his first essay to contest with the best man out. The management of Benjamin's affairs regarding the match was un dertaken by Harry Broome, while Sayers took his training under the protecting care of John Gideon, and Lever did this specimen of a British boxer show in more splendid condition. Yesterday was the day appointed and the arrangements made were such as to meet general approval. The start took place from London-bridge by half-past seven o'clock a.m., by special train to Strood, where a steamer was in readiness to convey the belligerents and their friends to the scene of action. The prices charged for first and second class were also " special," and this kept away many ; so that, as may be ima gined, all passed off in an orderly manner. The weather was piercingly cold. When the ring ar rangements had been completed by the commissary, the belligerents entered. Sayers doing so with his usual nonchalant air. In betting ho was the favou rite, at 7to 4. No time was lost in completing tie toilets of the combatants, and wh-n their seconds had given them the finishing touch in this respect, they were conducted to the scratch, and left to begin this long-talked-of and exciting battle. Those who had expected to witness a rattling, dashing mill were doomed to disappointment, for this con test was the briefest that bad ever occurred to decide the championship of England. Not more than three rounds were fought, but these were quite sufficient for Benjamin, who in that short space of time (seven minutes) had had quite enough of Tom's handywork. In the third round the gallant Tom caught " the novice" so severely on the base of the jaw, that he either could not or would not answer to the .:all of " time." The delight of 3.4yers's friends was as vociferously expressed as the disap pointment of those of Benjamin was visible in their dismayed countenances. The victor now continues to hold the belt so fairly won, and has next to meet the more experienced and more formidable Tom Paddock, who recently beat Harry Broom, the monitor of Benjamin upon the present occasion.

IMPORTANT C AUTION fearful dangers of spurious imitations : — The Vice-Chancel lor, Sir William Page Wood, gr an t e d an Injun c ti on on th e 10th March, 1854, against Alfred Il_oop for imitating "Du Barry ' s RevaloUtailrabio r oo dY, Nevin to the course of the examination it transpired that on the sth of April, 1852, the prisoner was tried in this court for felony, an.' as there were two pre vious convictions proved against him, he was s( n tenced to be transported for seven years. Mr. Digby made an able defence for the prisoner, and called three witnesses, wbo attempted to prove an alibi on his part, which completely failed. The jury found the prisoner guilty. Sentenced to 10 yeas' penal servitude. Thomas Jones, 30, and John Jones, 29, the for mer a clerk, and the latter a commercial traveller, surrendered to take their trial for unlawfully as saulting and beatine. Joseph Elooley and others, constables of th. 3 uneeropOlitan police force, in the execution of their duty. They were also indicted for a common assault. Mr. Payne, instructed by the Treasury, appeared for the prcsecution ; Mr. La Dreton for the defence. The prisoners pleaded guilty to the indictment for a common assault. Mr. Le Breton, in mitigation, said that the prisoners on Christmas-eve hid too freely indulged in the festivities of the season, and, being intoxi cated, were set on and robbed by a low gang of persons. On the police coming up the prisoners, being charged by some of the gang, felt aggrieved at the charge and committed the assault complained of. In the struggle one of the policemen was rup tured and received other injuries. The Assistant-Judge deferred judgment until the first day of next sessions, and the prisoners were removed to Coldbath-fields Prison in the van. (Before Mr. Creasy.) - - William Neve, 22, and John Nase, 32, were in dicted for stealing a leg of pork, value 10s., the property of Francis Renvorge. - Mr. Platt, prosecuted ; Mr. Metcalfe appeared for Neve ; and Mr. F. 11. Lewis for Nase. The prosecutor is a beershop-keeper at Colney hatch. On the night of the 10th Dec. the prisoner brought the other prisoner to his house for lodgings, and, having some suspicion of them he took the precaution of fastening the back door. On the night of the 18th Dec. the prisoner Neve came again and asked permission to wash his hands in the back kitchen, and while there he contrived, in concert with the other prisoner, to steal a leg of pork which was placed iu a cupboard. The leg of pork was thrown out of the back window, but the transaction was witnessed by a police-constable, and both prisoners were taken in custody. The prisoners were found guilty, and each sen tenced to hard labour for three months. POL:CE ITEGLIGENCE—Jan. 5. WESTMINSTER.—THE CIVIL AND THE MILI TARY POWERS.—Robert Gurdon and Joseph Bur ton, two privates of the Coldstream Guards, were finally examined, charged . with unlawfully a n d maliciously wounding police-constable Benjamin Brett, 262 A, and James Charlwood, 104 B ; also with conimitting other assaults in the course of a serious disturbance on the afternoon of the 31st ult. The circumstances of the case, as detailed by a number of witnesses, are briefly these :—At half past three in the afternoon Gurdon was given into the custody of Brett, charged with stealing some pawnbrokers' tickets and papers from a man named Seath at a public-house in the Broadway. Brett conveyed his prisoner as far as Great Chapel-street, when ho made a violent resistance, and assaulted him and the prosecutor, who was accompanying him to the station. There was a corporal with a file of men at hand, and Brett asked his assistance to secure Gurdon. The corporal expressed his willingness to take Gurdon to the barracks, when Brett informed him that as the soldier was charged with felony he could not allow him to go out of his custody, upon which the corporal went away with 1' his men without affording the required ai d. Police constable Charlwood, who had come up, was en gaged with Brett in a struggle with G urdon überdlt stn onwl struck Burton came up, and taking off his Charlwood with its heavy buckle and clasp several times upon the head until ho became insensible. Gurdon then knocked Brett down, and knelt upon him while Burton struck him seve ral blows with his belt, and Brett had just power enough to strike one blow with his truncheon in his endeavour to save Charlwood from Burton's vi lence, when he also became insensible. Some tradesmen who had witnessed the occurrence had the wounded policemen taken to the hospital, and the escaped, Burton having previously struck timena_rtizan named Walsh on the revaicocuisiselyd struck eye the prisoners withh his g wer e belt belt. yard Other con s t a bl es com i ng up, Pursued and captu re d i n a pri vatein the neiehbourhood, when Gurdon violently assaulted one of them. At the station Gurdon said he had done one six months' imprison ment before, and could e a s ily d o a lik e p er i o d, as he wa s well acquainted with the necessary step for the treadwheel. Mr. George Nam, surgeon, 10, Regent-street, Westminster, said that Brett had received a con tused wound on the eyebrow, and had several con tusions on each hand ; he had further received an internal injury, through which he was spitting blood. Charlwood was suffering from two scalp wounds and a wound on the knee. In reply to the charge, Gurdon said he neither struck nor kicked,any one, and Burton denied that he had his belt off at all. Mr. Arnold—•who, without offering an opinion The complainant inhabits Erith. On Saturday, in the society of three ladies and five children, he proceeded to Sydenham, there to gambol under the shelter of the Crystal Palace. At ten minutes to six—having returned to London-b r id ge t erm i nus with his ladies and his lesser lambs— the complain ant entered a second-class carriage on the North Kent line, with the view of returning to his fold. No sooner was the party seated than the other Frederick, Captain Patten, R.N., bustles up in hot baste, full of love for his neighbours, but warned by the guard that there was not a mo dent to spare. Probably the Captain was hur rying to a Christmas dinner, perhaps to a tree, his pockets full of toys, and his mouth watering at the prospect of a turkey. Whatever his ob jects, the Captain was in a hurry to arrive at Strood. A place was vacant in Mr. Lambe's car riage, and, innocent of guile or of malice prepense, he proceeded to ensconce himself in the carriage. This measure, however, did not correspond with the views of Mr. Lambe, nor of the ladies, his com panion.. According to the Captain's own account, ou his entry ono of the ladies suggested his finding a seat in another carriage. To this ho replied with good-humour, " You had better allow me in rather than a brute ;" and in his evidence he adds that had he known he was intruding on a family party, ho would have walked the whole way to Chatham sooner than go in. Mr. Lambe, however, did not regard with complacency either the incident or the Captain. The Lambe charged the Sailor with being very rude. The Sailor denied the soft impeachment. On this the Lambe rejoined that the Sailor's state ment was false, and that he was no gentleman. On this the Sailor pulled the Lambe's nose, and Mr. Burcham, the magistrate, is called to adjudicate on the assault. Mr. Lainbe's account of the matter was far more serious. Denying his expressions of "false," and "no gentleman," and admitting only in cross-ex amination the epithet "rude," he charged the Cap tain with pushing his way in, and giving him a blow with doubled fist on the nasal organ. Mr. Burcham, however, took a very sensible view of the whole mw ter. Notwithstanding the evidence of two ladies, who thought the Captain excessively rude ha "taking his seat after being told to go to another carriage," Mr. Burcham considers justice to be fully vindicated by the infliction of a five-shilling fine on the defendant. Mr. Lambe evidently wanted the compartment for himselfand hisparty, although there was still room for another person. Captain Patten, naturally enough, takes the remaining place. Unconscious of evil, he considers himself a more eligible cDmpanion than an ordinary second class passenger. Mr. Lambe, probably hungry for his dinner, grumbles out a few offensive phrases. The Captain, jealous of his honour, retorts. Mr. Lambe becomes still mote audible. At length the Captain, exasperated at this uncalled-for criticism, forgets himself for a moment, and pulls the nose of his assailant. Never was there an incident more Pickwickiam. Mr. Burcham seems to have seized all the ridiculous points with exquisite humour. The punishment inflicted shows his keen appreciation of the situa tion, while, like a man of the world, putting a suitable finale to an affair that should never have been submitted to his jurisdiction. But reverting to our first position, let us imagine what might have happened had Mr. Frederick Lambe not exhibited symptoms of a churlish dispo sition. Taking Pickwick for our guide, let us suppose that with exuberant benevolence he had, Wardell-like, welcomed the stranger, and hailed wi h pleasure the arrival of an extra passenger to beguile the weary way to Erith. Heaven only knows what might have been the result ! Hero, on, s h the pocketsprim o le f t li t f l e s , sa o y f , a i n e taldlemCiraapbtlaeins,oacigaeln ptolesmitrit perhaps full of sweetmeats and toys, a little hasty, evident from his evidence, placed bu his heart,right p a l s a is ce . opened a conversation. pinchA sugar o f snuff p plum um to might in the chil dren mi g ht h ave improved the acquaintance. The have Te Captain might have reek. tinted his adventures by sea and land. The young ladies might have listened with pleasure to his exciting eloquence. Erith might have arrived too soon. Mr. Lambe, inte rested with his travelling companion, might have tendered his card, and trusted that the acquaintance would not end there. The captain, equally pleased, might have presented Mr. Lambe with a similar document, and re-echoed the aspiration. On his return from Strood he might have stopped at Erith. Struck with the interesting appearance of the chil dren, ho might have brought them the model of her Majesty's ship Blunderbuss, or some other equally attractive trophy. Smitten with the charms of one young lady, he might have offered himself in original, and perhaps in time have been not unsuc cessful. The acquaintance of tho moment might have ripened into the friendship of a life. Mr. Lambe might hrve added a respectable name to his family connections, and ere long, perhaps, have eaten Isis Christmas dinner the guest of Admiral Sir Frederick Patten, K.C.8., and Lady Patten. All this might have occurred but for the crustiness of Mr. Lambe. If soft words butter no parsnips, they at any rate break no noses.
