We find in tote Moniteur the following report to the Emperor from Prince Napoleon relative to the system of administration which his Imperial High ness intends to pursue in the affairs of Algeria and the colonies : " Sire, — In pursuance of the decree of the 24th of June last, establishing the Ministry of Algeria and the Colonies, a commission has examined the questions relative to the division of attributes necessitated by the creation of the said Ministry. This commission has assembled under my presi dency; the Ministers of War and Marine, who had named some of the members, attended its sittings and took part in the deliberations. The decree of the 24th of June established the principle of division of attributes, and the commission had therefore no other object than to fix precisely the appli cation of it. I have the honour to submit toyour Majesty the result of its labours. " ALGERIA.-GENERAL ARRANGEMEN TS. " The Governor-General shall be nominated on the pro position of the Prince charged with the Ministry of Alge ria and the Colonies, shall depend only on him, and conse quently shall correspond. only with him, except as regards acts purely and exclusively military, and which do not spe cially interest Algeria. The questions which regard the position of the Prince charged with the Ministry of Algeria and the Colonies, when be shall be in Algeria and the colonies, especially as concerns the command of troops, shall be regu lated hereafter with the approbation of your Majesty. • The commission has recop;nised in principle the necessity of attaching to the Ministry of Algeria and the Colo nies, in conformity with what was indicated in the projects presented to your Majesty, the Affairs of Justice, Public Worship, Public Instruction, and Fi nance, which were detached from the Ministry of • War in 1848. The Ministry of Algeria and the Colonies will have to come to an understanding with the respective Mi nisters to effect the transfer of those affairs, and to submit the conditions to the approbation of the Emperor. The officers of engineers and the agents of the intendance shall continue to give their co-operation in the works and in the settlement of expenses in the military territory. The per sons employed in the Arab bureaux shall be placed at the disposal of the Ministry of Algeria and the Colonies. In terpreters shall depend on that Ministry, as they have always been more of a civil than a military character, and the selection of them can only be effected by the central ad ministration of Algeria. " DIRECTION OF AFFAIRS. " As regards the direction of affairs, the :ollowing prin ciples, clearly fixing the attributes of the new Ministry, have been established. All despatches, without exception, which concern political matters and the administration, and all those which, though having a military character, concern the situation of Algeria, shall be addressed to the' Prince charged with the Ministry of Algeria and the Colonies, sub ject to the communication, when necessary, by that Minis try to the Ministry of War of the despatches which may concern the latter. The correspondence relative to the internal administration of the various corps, to purely mili tary questions, and to military justice, except in certain trials of Europeans or natives by courts-martial, shall be transmitted to the Ministry of War. " ENGINEERS. "This service shall be charged with new works or repairs. In the first category shall be comprised the construction of fortifications, barracks, hospitals, and military edifices o f all kinds; and in the second the repairs of such buildings. Pro positions relative to new works shall be addressed to the Ministry of Algeria and the Colonies, which will transmit them, with its opinion, to the Department of War ; propo sitions relative to the execution and repair of works already approved shall be sent direct to the Minister of War, and he shall continue to decide on their execution. The Ministry of Algeria and the Colonies shall only give direct decisions on works executed by officers of engineers which are inscribed in the budget of its expenses. Neverthe less, the Governor-General shall, at the commence ment of each year, send to the Ministry of Algeria and the Colonies a :detailed account of the division of the credits to the different works undertaken en account of the Budget of War. " ARTILLERY AND MILITARY ADMINISTRATION. "The same principles shall be applicable to the service of artillery and that of military administration, which com prises clothing, hospitals, transports, and even, to a certain extent, the provisions of the army. Thus, for example, if the intendance shall think fit to make experiments for mo difying the food or clothing of the army in Algeria, &c., propositions shall be sent to the Ministry of War, through the Department of Algeria and the Colonies. " MILITARY JUSTICE. " As regards the army, the correspondence relative to military justice shall be transmitted direct to the Minister of War. Nevertheless, as courts-martial judge crimes and offences committed by Europeans and natives in certain parts of the territory, their judgments in such matters shall be addressed to the Ministry of Algeria, which shall notify them to the Department of War. Propositions for a dimi nution of punishments or pardons to the condemned shall be within the attributes of the Ministry of Algeria and the Colonies. " TROOPS. " According to the rule established, correspondence rela tive to the policy and administration of the country shall be addressed to the Minister of Algeria and the Colonies; and it now remains to specify the consequences of this rule as regards military operations and the persons connected with the army. Projects relative to military operations &hall first of all be submitted to the Ministry of Algeria and the Colonies, -which shall decide on their oportuneness, and, if necessary, come to an understanding with the Department of War on the subject of the force and composition of the columns to be employed. But as soon as the troops shall enter on a campaign the Minister of War shall receive a copy of all the reports of the com mander of the troops, in addition to the part of the military correspondenee on the situation of the troops, which must be addressed to him direct. Propositions for promotion of persons of the army of Algeria may be made after a general inspection or for extraordinary purposes. In the first case, the general and definitive report shall be addressed in du plicate to the Department of Algeria and the Colonies. In the second, the propositions shall be transmitted to the Ministry of Algeria and the Colonies, which shall transmit them, with its opinion, to the Ministry of War. The same shall be done for propositions respecting the movements of troops and exchanges among officers of all grades. " ARRANGEMENTS RELATIVE TO ALGERIA CONNEpTED WITH THE MINISTRY OF MARINE. " The same principle which regulates the relations of the Ministry of Algieria and the Colonies and the Ministry of War for Algerla—leaving to the Prince the knowledge and direction of the military measures which interest Al geria, and to the Ministry of War the questions of pure rsilitary administration—shall regulate the relations of the Ministry of Algeria and the Colonies and of the Ministry of Marine with regard to Algeria. " COLONIES. "As far as regards the direction of the affairs of the colonies the following general regulations have been de cided on : " SETTLEMENT OF ACCOUNTS. " The arrangement of the expenses in Paris and the mea sures to be adopted for that purpose cannot be the object of any di ffi culty. The service of the colonies, however, neces sitates the liquidation and the payment of numerous ex pense% both in the naval and in the commercial ports. In order not to have any interruption in these affairs, the set tlement of these expenses Is left to the secondary clerks of the Department of the Marine. They will examine and settle them in virtue of an authority from the Minister of Algeria and the Colonies. The Minister of Marine has given his consent to this arrangement. As the administra tion which makes the payments in the colonies passes over entirely to the new Ministry things will there naturally follow their ordinary. course. " PENSIONS. " The central clerks of the colonial service and those abroad have their pensions inscribed at the Caisse des Invalides of the Marine. These are acquired rights and private interests which will he respected. The creation, therefore, of the new Ministry will in no way prejudice the clerks of the colonial administrations. " OFFICERS ON DETACHED SERVICE. " The colonial service, both at home and abroad, employs in various ways officers belonging to the different corps of the Marine. Those who continue to serve, either in the colonies, or in the central administration of the new Minis try, are, according to the rule adopted in the other Mini sterial departments, considered as being detached from the department of the Marine and on special service. " MIXED GOVERNMENTS. " The governors stand in the first rank among colonial functionaries. There are some who are at the same time governors and commanders of the naval squadron on the sta tion. The nomination of the former belongs exclusively to the Ministry of Algeria and the Colonies. Three of those governors command at the same time the naval forces of France on the western coast of Africa, Oceania, and Gui ana; their designation is proposed on a report concerted between the Ministry of Algeria and the Colonies and that of the Marine. Their instrdctions will emanate from the Ministry of Algeria and the Colonies, which, however, in the case of naval expeditions or similar circumstances, will have to communicate on the subject with the Ministry of Marine. " TRANSFER OF CREDITS. " A decree of your Majesty, dated the 6th inst., deter mined what credits or portions of credits on the present estimates shall be transferred from the Ist of July, 1858, frem the budgets of the Ministries of War and the Marine to that of the Ministry of the Algeria and the Colonies. " LIQUIDATION OF EXPENSES. " The accounts of the expenses of Algeria for 1857 will be liquidated by the Ministry of War, and for 1858 by the Ministry of Algeria and the Colonies. Several other ques tions have also been examined by the Commission, and among others that of the Marines. It is of opinion that ex p er ience will best point out the solution of those question ,- . Until that time an understanding will be come to for the exe cution of certain measures between the Ministries of Algeria and the Colonies, War, and Marine. A de spatch signed by me and by the Marshal Minister of War has been addressed to the Marshal-Governor-General of Algeria, pointing out to him the whole of these regulations. A similar despatch signed by me and ihyl the Admiral Minister of Marine has been sent to the Admiral command ing the naval forces at Algiers. I have written to the same effect to'all the govern ors of provinces in the colonies. Such Sire, is the aggregate of the measures I have the honour to subm it to the approbation of your Majesty. These arrange ments, which have been decided on by common accord, and in perfect harmony between the Ministries of Algeria and the Colonies, War, and the Marine, secure the regularity of the service, and transfer th e a ff a i r s of Algeria and the colonies to the new Ministry without delay or interruption. By the aid of measures, some of which are transitory, but all of which can be maintained so long as good order in the ser vice ma y require them, I limay perhaps be fted to the appro. shall be able to study witho ut uneasiness and without pre cipitation questions relative to Al g eria and th e colonies ; I necessary,shall be a laentdo whichprepare will th be e r a waysubmitted bation of your Majesty.

REGISTRAR GENERAL'S QUARTERLY RETURN OF MARRIAGES, BIRTHS, AND DEATHS, IN ENGLAND. This return comprises the births and (Viths registered by 2,196 registrars in all the districts of England during the spring quarter that ended on June 30, 1858; and the mar riages in 12,283 churches or chapels, about 3,968 registered places of worship unconnected with thei Established Church, and 629 Superintendent Registrars' offices, in the quarter that ended on March 31, 1858. The gloomy appearance of the winter quarter is gradually giving place to a better state of things. The marriages in that quarter were much below the average, and in the apt lug quarter the births were slightly below the average. But the public health in the spring quarter exhibited signs of itn- provement. 30,034 marriages took place in the quarter that ended on March 31; and consequently 60,068 pe;sons married in the three months. The number is less by C,700 than the num bers of persons who married in each of the winter quarters of the two previous years, and is rather more than the number of, persons who married in the hard war winter of 1855. The marriage rate of the quarter was 1,254 per cent. per annum; or at such a rate, if it continued uniform, that 1,254 perions would marry in a year to every 100,000 persons living. The average rate is 1.410, and the rate of the quarter is such, that one out of every nine marriages was deferred, or broken off. The stagnation of trade had cast a shadow over the prospects of the people, and they did not marry, The inhabitants of the manufacturing districts were under the greatest depression; and the number of marriages in Che shire and Lancashire fell from 5,821 to 4,793, more than a thousand; but all the parts of England and Wales are so intimately associated in evil as well as in good fortune that in every division the marriages declined. It is to be re gretted that the returns of marriages in the spring quarter cannot be obtained from the clergy in time for publication with the returns of births and deaths for this quarter, other wiFe it is probable that some improvement might be appa- rent. The births of 169,170 children were registered in the quer ter ending on June 30, 1858 ; and the birth-rate was 3.482 per cent. per annum. It was slightly below, the average rate of the spring season. The births decreased or were stationary in every division. 169,170 births and 107,193 deathakiiegistered,; and the natural increase of the population of England and Wales was 61,977 in 91 days, or 681 daily. The probable natural increase of the population of the United Kingdom was 1,021 daily. In the preceding winter qnarter it was estimated at 750. 40,961 persons sailed from the ports of the United King dom at which there are Government emigration agents. After distributing proportionally 4,084 of undistinguished birthplace, it appears that 1,930 were of foreign, while 20 077 were of Irish, 4,702 of Scotch, and 14,252 of English origin. Of the English emigrants, 5,717 sailed to the Aus tralian colonies,l,sl3 to the North American colonies, 6,218 to the United States, and 774 to other places. The emigration is still decreasing; it was at the rale of 157 daily from England and Wales, 429 daily from the in habitants of the United Kingdom. In the spring quarter of 1852, six years ago, 1,375 of the people emigrated daily. The mean temperature of April (46 deg.) and May (52 deg.) differed little from the average at Greenwich; June was hot throughout, and its temperature (65 deg.) was 7 deg. above the average. On the the 16th June tbe ten3perature near the sea rose as high as 88 deg., and reached the point 95 deg. between the latitudes 51 deg. and 52 deg. Tee mean tem perature of the day was 77 deg.; which is the highest tem perature in June on record. Saturation being represented by 100, the degree of humidity in June was 67; so the air was dry, or 7 deg. less humid than it was during 17 pre vious Junes. The rain-fall above the average in April and May was below the average in June. The rain-fall in the three months was 5.4 inches. The air moves usually at the rate of 4 miles an hour on a n avera g e ; it moved at the rate of less than a mile and ha lf an boor in June. The mean temperature of the Thames fro m 55 de g . in May rose to 67 deg. in June. The metereology of the different parts of the country is shown in Mr. Glaisher's tables. The prices of the principal articles of food have followed different rates : the price of the quarter of wheat has regu larly fallen in the three months of April, May, Julie of the years 1856, 1857, and 1858, from 68s. 8d to 565. 9d., and to 445. ld. a quarter ; by the carcase at Leadenhall and New gate Market beef was 5 2-Bd., 524.,mutton 50. 5 4-Sd. a pound. While the price of wheat fell the price of potatoes (York regents) rose from 80s. and 128 s. to 1635. a ton, at the waterside marke t, Sou t h wark . The prices of animal food declined, the price of wheat fell 36 per cent.; the price of potatoes rose more than 100 per cent. in the in terval. 107,103 persons died in the three months of April, May, and June • the deaths were at the rate of 1,178 daily. The mortality rate prevailing was 2.206 per cent., or 22.06 in 1,000. This is slightly below the average rate, 22.25, of the ten preceding spring quarters. The average death rate of the 63 least unhealthy districts is 17 in 1,000 ; and the mortality of England, corrected for age. should be 168 ; but the actual rate in the quarter was 6 in excess of this rate. The 27,355 deaths in excess are principally deaths from various kinds of p oisons, and are therefore properly designated unnatural deaths. Upon dividing the population into two portions (1) the 8,247,017 people living in rather close proximity to each other, and ('2) the 9,680,592 living much further apart, the result is that the mortality in the dense districts was at the rate of 24.73—nearly 25 in 1,000; while in the other districts, over which small towns and villages are distributed, the mortality was at the rate of 19.68, nearly 20 in 1,000 of the population. In the town districts the rate of mortality was 8, in the rest of the country 3, in 1,000 above the rate which actually rules in comparatively healthy districts.. Of the 27,355 un natural deaths, 18,668 took place in the large town districts; 8,687 in other places. Now in England and Wales the town population is in creasing much faster than the population of the rest of the country. In the last spring quarter, while the mortality of the country districts decreased, the mortality of the town dis tricts rose to 24.73, the average of the prereeding ten yearn having been 23.94 in 1,000. This was probably due partly to the reduced earnings in the towns, to the scarcity of potatoes, and to the intense heat, which accelerated the pu trefaction of organic refuse in the houses, streets, ditches, and rivers. Is the actual mortality of cities inevitable ? The Turks reply in the affirmative. Many of the cities of Europe in which the 'death-rate ranges from 30 to 40, acquiesce quietly in ther fate ; and in England, where we have adopted ano ther course, it has been, not without some show of reason, asserted that the unnatural deaths in towns are the penal ties of civilisation. But what is civilisation ? If it consist simply in the aggregation of families on limited areas, with out arrangements to meet the exigencies of their new posi tion, it will ever have heavy penalties to pay. Uncleanli liness is, however, not a consequence of civilisation ; it is a relic of barbarian. The people of districts living in England wide apart experience generally a low mortality, and the mortality increases in proportion as their dwellings are brought into closer proximity. People remaining the same, and indulging in the same habits, collected from their scat tered habitations into a camp and kept in that camp for some months, suffer from diseases, and are ullimately deci mated by epidemics. Our towns were no better than un cleansed camps in the middle ages; and London in the seventeenth century lost 50 in 1,000, or, including the plague years, 80 in 1,000 of its inhabitants annually. The black death, sweating sickness, and plague followed each other in succession. The mortality of London was reduced to the rate of 29 in 1,000 at the beginning of this century; civilisation advanced; and in the 10 years 1840.54 the ra , e further fell to 25*, still remaining ]0 in 1,000 above the cal culated healthy rate for London. As Athens in ancient story had to send seven of its youth, chosen by lot, to be devoured, so London has hitherto given tip ten of every thousand o her inhabitants yearly to disease and untimely death. All the towns of the kingdom in the aggregate gave up propor tionally this number of victims in the last three months. They were not destroyed openly. The poison by which they died was not purchased in chemists shops. It was admini stered in the silence of the night, and in the streets at noon day, either with the air which they breathed, or with the water which they drank. The poison is generated by the decomposition of effete organic matter, which gives off diffusible and dangerous products, wherever it is left beyond a day in the houses, streets, and neighbouring ditches or streams, instead of being lodged in the disinfecting earth. It can easily be shown that the mortality bears a certain proportion to the quantity of the poison which the people inhale ; and that the quantity is greatest under the cess pool system, which formerly prevailed in London, and is now in use in the French, German, and Italian towns. The mortality has gradually fallen in London as the cesspools have been abolished ; It is still high in foreign cities where the cesspools are in use. In Manchester, where the dirt is allowed to decay behind the houses, and,is not thrown into sewers, the mortality was at the rate of 33, in the years 1841-50; in the foreign cesspooled cities the mortality ranges from 30 to 44 in 1,000. Of 1,000 people in London, ten died unnatural deaths is now an nually • and to make ttie view of the facts clear, let it be as sumed a moment tha t into the causes of four deaths no o f w ro rn m cesspools, that three are killed by the poisonous pools, closets, and sinks in dwelling houses,inqui ry emanations offices, and workshops, that two die of diseases induced by the emanation s from dirt y streets or g ulli e s, and one from the vapours ar isin g from the Thames. Here evi scteepis gained by the water s ystem cesspool, as the noxious matter is pro sduepnetlryndainggretahte sspo pro jected into the sewers under her streets, and is par tially oxydised. If the cesspools, thefore, are everywhere abolished, and the house is purified, the mortality, on the above hypothesis, will be reduced to the extent of 3; while if the corrupt sewer air in the sewers be carried above the chimneys beyond the reach of the lungs, two more lives will be saved; and if the water and the banks of the Thames are no longer the final repositories of the town guano, one more life will be saved. These numbers are adopted, not as expressing exact results, but to fix attention on the fact that the impurities of London are the main causes of its insalu britygalleys, (3) impuri t ies of the - Thames. sotiriese order d a ae n nr d d: that ci) ire in their pvrit i f e a s t a e l f e ff ects they may be classed in dwellings, (2) impurities of The progress of sanitary measures in London has hitherto resulted in the removal of the impurities from the dwelling houses into the sewers and the Thames, and this enables us to understand how the mortality has declined as the Thames has grown fouler. It also enables, us to under stand how the mortality of London is lower than the mortality of many other cities. The wise policy of substituting streams of water for cesspools is fully confirmed; and experience has shown that the town guano is less hurtful in the sewers and in the rivers than in the dwellings of the people. It is only when the supply of towns is drawn from the rivers saturated with foul organic matter that the people are poisoned in great numbers by water. The vapours of the Thames, noxious as everybody possessed of common sense has now learnt to consider them, or are less heavily laden with p oisonous exhalations than the vapours of cesspools and sewers. shoul The actively e be theref d practice of laying on water and of abolishing cesspools continued. At the same time steps should be taken to de stroy or to deliver the exhalations of the sewers into the higher stratum of the atmosphere, where they would be partly:destroyed, and would not be breathed, as they are now, undiluted. The Thames itself must be purified. Our pre sent imperfect system of sewers admits of readjustment; * The people in early and middle life are so numerous in London, owing to the excess of births and immigration, that the mortality should be 15 in 1,000 to be at the several ages, at the same rate as it le in the healthy districts, where the mean lifetime is 49 years. The corrected rate of mortality is 20 in 1,000, and the actual uncorrected rate in those districts ip 17 in 1,000, but the country can never rest satisfied until the water which is distributed through its dwellings carries away all the town guano to fertilise the land, from which its materials were derived. Any other solution of the sewage question is pro visional. - Exact observation for 20 years in every district of Eng land and Wales places the question fairly before the country. Impure air is destroying the health of the people. The at mosphere in which they live can be purified by restoring the town guano to the fields. This involves a large imme diate outlay ; but the expense is not beyond the means of England. It will• not exhaust the resources of a nation which freely devoted eighty millions sterling to resist the encroachments of Russia on the Turkish empire; which maintains a squadron on the coast of Africa in the hope of diminishing the slave trade; which proposes, after conquer ing, to govern, perhaps to civilise India; and which has now a fleet on the - other side of the globe opening the Chinese empire to the enterprise of the world. If capital is sunk freely on these vast distant objects in the hope_of realising returns, it will not fail when it is required to purify the air Englishmen breathe at home; for the invest ment will be profitable to all living men, and will confer blessings on all future generations. And if the national honour was concerned on the shores of the Black Sea, in the Baltic, on the Coast of Africa, in India, in the Chinese waters, in the presence of the enemy, is not the honour of England also concerned when the lives of her children are in peril, and no arm is stretched out to save ? Can our towns strike their colours to:their own accumulat ing dirt, and avow that they are vanquished, without igno miny ? England is in sanitary science and art taking the lead in Europe, and teaching important lessons to all sta tions. But the work must be consummated. The mortality must be reduced. The people must be animated anew by the energies of health. And public men will find that some glory may he gained by saving life—by great sanitary works. Honour will crown those who rescue the English race from pain, sickness. and degeneracy. They will for ever enjoy the satisfaction of having done their duty. The Legislature has, in the acts of the present session, given the inhabitants of every district of England and Wales the power to raise the money and to execute the great works which the country requires ; and it may be sanguinely hoped that the new powers will-be employed to their fill extent by the people themselves, under the Public Health pod the Local Government Acts. The results will in a few years be 60 - artnt irrthc pubße-eegisteks. _ SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.-MONDAY. The shortcomings which marked the recent Goodwood meeting were merely fortuitous. They neither affected the success of the sport nor the popularity of the meeting, but perhaps they appeared somewhat the more striking because they were unexpected. The principal falling off was in the numerical strength of the fields, but this circumstance was not attributable to a diminished popularity of any of the stakes, to which the number of subscribers was satisfactorily large, but to a lack of horses, many animals having engage ments at the meeting being confined to their stables by ill ness, and others having been completely worn eut. The backers of horses and the book-makers had an equal share of fortune ; but until the Friday the " fielders" found the balance of their account on the wrong side of their books Of the 31 races vi,hich were run off the first favourite was defeated 16 times. On the Friday the layers had a rare turn of luck, which compensated them for the badness of the betting on the Stakes, and their " Roman Candle" losses. .Tbat the meeting was "harmless" was proved this afternoon by the promptitude with which accounts were closed. Mr. J. Merry—who won the Goodwood Cup with Saunterer, and the Chesterfield Cup with Sunbeam—wins about £20,000; whilst Mr. Mahon -and several of Mr Merry's friends likewise throw iu for a good stake. -The room was crowded, and time was too fully occupied with the business of " settling" to allow much betting on future events. 9to 2 was offered on the field for the Ebor Handicap, and at the close of business the Hadji was de cidedly the best favourite for The Leger. At first 6 to 1 was laid, but 4to 1 was the final offer against him. Five to 1 each was hid against Fitz Roland and Toxephilite ; no great disposition, however, was manifested to back the latter.

COUNTY OF SURREY v.TIIE NORTH OF ENGLAND, The game of cricket has been decided as perfectly national and the 4,000 spectators on the Surrey Ground, Kennington oval, yesterday, still confirmed it. The usual toss for going in first took place, and the North winning, elected to go in first. The ground could not have been in finer condition, and the betting was in favour of Surrey. The first to appear at the wickets were E. Stephenson and Grundy, against the bowling of Cafryn and 11. Stephenson. Grundy was dis missed without scoring ; 1 wicket and 1 run. Mr. Daft appeared, hut was dismissed by Caffyn for 0; 2 wickets and 7 runs. The County was now getting more into favour; but G. Parr went in„ and, with E. Stephenson, put a dif ferent phase on the game. E. Stephenson, though not a very fast run-getter, has a strong defence, and in this instance it was illustrated. Parr, from previous injury, was rather lame; but, being again burr, Mr. Daft was allowed to run for him, and his work was truly cut out, for the hits that Parr made gave him plenty to do. A c ha n ge came " o'er the vision of the dream," for at Parr's dismissal 161 was telegraphed for the loss of 3 wickets, 84 appearing to his name. Betting in favour of the North. Among Parr's figures were two s's, six 4's, three 3's, and eight 2's. .Diver was the next, and made a fine hit for 7, then followed it up by a 6, two 2's, and two singles; after which 11. Stephenson found his way to his wicket; four wickets and 188 runs. Carpenter added 9, by a 5, a 2, &c.; but E. Stephen on parted company, first giving a fine contribution of 76, in which were two s's, six 4's, two 3's, and four 2's ; his bei g the fifth wicket, the score showed 191. From the steady and cautious play this cricketer always exhibits, he is de serving of being well patronised. The sixth wicket fell for 201 runs,Wadsworth and A. Clarke occupying the wickets. Wadsworth marked a 4, but was then bowled by 11. Stephen son ; seven wickets and 211 runs. Jackson, who is always ready to hit, quickly made rune, but Clarke giving a chance to Mortlock, after tusking 10, by a 4, a 3, &c., the eighth wicket fell for 239. Bell made a hit for 6, when Jackson left for 29, composed of four 3's and five 2's; nine wickets and 243 runs. Bell's was the tenth wicket, and fell for 256 runs, Gibson carrying out his bat for 7, in which was a good hit for 4. On the part of Surrey, the bowling, although various, was good, as also the fielding. The following is the score : NORTH OF ENGLAND. J. Grundy, c Griffith, b Caffyn E. Stephenson, b Stephenson it.

The proceedings of the week opened this morning under favourable auspices. There was a good muster of yachts in the roads, the town was very well filled with company, the weather was very brilliant, and, what is of most consequence and importance, there was a good breeze.. Another circum stance, which imparted unusual interest to the proceedings, was that the new.sailing regulations respecting time for area of canvas was to be first brought into operation in the race for this day. _ The entries for the cup were as follow Yachts. Tons. Owners. Arrow Lulworth Euravaganza... 48 According to the conditions only cutters could enter, and by the scale adopted it was decided that the Arrow should give the Lulworta m. 563., the Extravaganza 16m. 205., and that the Lulworth should give the Extravaganza 14w. 24,.. There was a very nice wind at starting from the S.W. and a flood tide, and exactly at 10 o'clock, in obedience to the second gun, the start took place. The Lul worth was the first to get away, closely followed by the Arrow, the Extravaganza about a length astern. The Lulwortb first got her topsail up, which, as soon as it filled enabled her to increase her lead, and she stood away to the westward at a good rate. The usual course is that the yachts first go to the eastward, and round the Nab light; but a very judicious alteration was made to-day, and the vessels first went to the westward, and as the course was only six miles in this direction, a short walk along the shore enabled the visitors,who mustered in considerable numbers, to watch the course of the vessels, and enabled them also by the aid otagliges tuvatclv.iiie../xlitsiound the mark-boat, which was stationed off Newtown Bay.' The Lulworth con tinued to keep ahead, and to increa , e the distance between herself and the Arrow, while the Extravaganza gained a trifle upon the last-named vessel. When about two miles of the course had ,been run there was a difference of 3m. 30s. between the first and second yachts, but the Lul worth was not to be caught. She stood her course near the island, the Arrow following in her wake; and on passing Gurnet buoy the Arrow had outsailed the Extravaganza so much that she was 3m. ahead of her. The Extravaganza here altered her course and stood to the N.W., more towards the centre of the Solent, but did not much mend her posi tion. The Lulworth soon arrived off Newtown Bay and hauled across for the mark-boat, and the Arrow stood into the bay and made a reach right across for the same destina tion. As the breeze freshened here a little the Extrava ganza took in her big topsail and set a smaller jib-headed sail iu its place, which movement was soon. followed by the Lulworth. The Arrow, however, made no alteration in her sails, and it was observed that she carried her canvas very stiffly and sailed, as she always did, very well. The Lul worth first rounded the mark-boat, and as they jibbed the time taken was S. Lulworth Arrow lO 56 30 Extravaganza On coming up towards Cowes the wind again freshened, and as the yachts then got the strength of the tide with them some good sailing resulted. In fact, there was as much wind as the sails could carry, and no time was lost The Arrow's greater spread of canvas enabled her, how ever, to overhaul the Lulworth, and in about half-an-hour she passed her; but her triumph was but brief, for the Lul worth, sailing to windward, again 'ran by the Arrow, soon after passing Egypt House, about .a mile from Cowes, and increased her lead every moment. They passed the flag boat of Cowes Castle in the following order and time : H. H. S. 11 28 30 H 30 0 11 41 15 Lulworth Arrow Extravaganza At this time the Arrow bad taken in her topsail, which she did not again replace, and she followed the Lulworth to the eastward, both vessels carrying a capital wind with them. They were soon out of sight on their way to the Nab Light, 15 miles distant, and no more of them was seen until just at three o'clock, when a huge topsail appeared over Norris Castle, and the bargee flying was immediately seen to be that carried by the Lulworth. No time was allowed for speculation, however, for directly afterwards the well-known blue flag and white arrow appeared in sight, and it was evident that the Lulworth would win without her allowance of time. A few minutes decided the contest, for the gun announcing the victory of the Lulworth was heard at 3h. 13m. 58s. ; and the second gun, announcing that the Arrow had passed the flag-boat, was fired at 3h. 14m. 403., and thus ended one of the prettiest matches seen here for some time. The Extravaganza, it is sup: posed, gave in, as she did not appear for some time. At five minutes past three, just as the competing yachts were running through the roads, the Fairy, having on board her Majesty and the Prince Consort, ran out from the Trinity landing-stage at East Cowes, followed by the Elfin, on their way to Portsmouth. The royal party were thus enabled to witness the close of the contest for the cup given by the Prince Consort, and it was evident from the commotion manifest on the deck of the Fairy that the illus trious company on board were not indifferent spectators of the scene. The roadstead this moruing was full of yachts, and it is remarkable that whereas a few years since a steam yacht was a great rarity, their number is now increasing very considerably, for, instead of the slender masts and delicate spars which formed such a remarkable sight at this place some years since, there is now from year to year a very considerable increase of unsightly funnels, a gradual dis placement of canvas, the end of which it is not difficult to foresee. There is still much uncertainty as to the starting-place for the Emperor's Cup, whether it will be Cowes or Yarmouth, but it is generally anticipated that the latter place will be elected. DOGGETT'S COAT AND BADGE. The competitors for Doggett's livery and badge rowed yesterday ; and, popular as this wager has ever been, we ever saw so vast an assemblage congregated to witness it as on this occasion. The course, it will he remembered, is from the Swan at London-bridge to the Swan at Chelsea, against tide, a distance infinitely greater than that appointed for more modern wagers. The following is the order in which they came in : Charles John Turner, Rotherhithe Joseph Henry Mills, Thames-bank John George Wyatt, Custom-House Joseph Goddard, Tower Jacob J. Bartholomew White John Charles Young, Woolwich To the coat and badge, as originally given, have been added five-eighths of the interest of South Sea Stock be queathed by Sir William Jolliffe, amounting to £4 17s. 9d., for the second man, and the remaining three-eighths, 18s. 9d., to the third; and the Fishmongers' Company, who have charge of this contest, have added a guinea to the first man, a guinea and a half each to the fourth and fifth man, and a guinea to the sixth. The competitors, who are water men whose term of apprenticeship has expired since the preceding wager, or rather draw for the wager, took their stations under the direction of Mr. Dards, bargemaster to the Fishmongers' Company, at a little after one, Wyatt being on the Middlesex side of the river, and next to him Mills. On the Surrey side, nearest the shore, was Young, and then White ; Turner and Goddard being in the centre of the river. After some trouble and delay they all got away together, when Young, White, and Mills began to show in front, and by dint of very rapid and powerful row ing, Young took a marked lead, Turner coming up hand over hand upon Mills, and soon taking the third position. Young continued to row strongly and steadily ahead of the others, w i t h every prospect of ultimate success,till off Davy's-road, when lie became hampered by the craft swinging, the first of the flood beginning to make, and his cutter coming upon him. Before he had well recovered himself he was cap- sired, and Turner, who was close at hand, just ahead of White, went into the first place, which he never forfeited. He was for a time closely followed by Mills and Young, Wyatt and Goddard being the next pair. Young was soon in his boat at work again ; but, according to the usual con ditions of this wager, had forfeited his claim, owing to the accident spoken of. He, however, showed himself a young man of no ordinary pluck, for he pulled in so gallant a manner as to acquire the third place before the end of the race, when Mr. Dards kindly undertook to lay his case be fore the Fishmongers' Company. The winner came in first by 20 lengths. Young was not above seven or eight behind Mills. LONDON ROWING CLUB. MR. C. CLIFFORD'S PRIZE. The race for a very handsome silver cup, presented by Mr. C. Clifford to the London Rowing Club, was rowed last evening, and was accompanied by several eights and other boats. The course was from Putney to Hammersmith. Mr. Farrar I Mr. Patterson Mr. Escombe Mr. Leland Two others also started. They got away well together at the second attempt, when, after a few strokes, Mr. Farrar went into the first place, closely followed by Mr. Patterson. Opposite Mr. Searle's these two gentlemen had singled themselves out from the rest, Mr. Escombe being third. A most animated race followed through the continued endea- Jur of Mr. Patterson to overhaul the leadi n g man, but without success, fer Mr. Farrar passed under Hammer- The 81st annual regatta of the free watermen of Green wich, for a new boat and various money prizes, took place yesterday, in the presence of many thousands of spectators who crowded the river, shore, and water-side taverns. The race extended along the whole front of the town, and past the Dreadnought hospital-ship, twice round at each heat , to the starting-point. Some excellent rowing took place ; but, unfortunately, there was a deal of fouling, and the result of the final heat was a very noisy dispute between the friends of each party, and ultimately the Thames police took possession of the bone of contention (the new boat), until the managers had decided who was the winner. FIRST HEAT. The first heat was contested by Henry Blackmore Green), James Everson (Light Blue), and Charles Everson Pink). A dispute took place as to the start, and subse quently some palpable fouling took place. The managers decided that the heat should be rowed again, and even then the result was not satisfactory. After another attempt, the heat was decided in favour of Green, who won easy. SECOND HEAT. This heat was contested by Richard Burgess (Yellow), EdwardTodhun ter (Dark Blue), and Henry Farthing (Red). Alter a good race Yellow came in first. THIRD HEAT, Between the second and third men of the previous heats, The men, after a well-contested race, came in as fol.. low :—Light Blue, Dark Blue, Pink, and Red. FOURTH HEAT, _ _ Betwee❑ the Winners ®f the two first heats and the that and second men of the third hent. This race excited much interest, and each party was charged with fouling. The winner was Green, followed by Yellow. FIFTH HEAT. The final heat for the boat between Green and Yellow terminated, as stated, in confusion. Each party claimed to c victorious; words ran high, and the Thames police took ossession of the prize. The managers subsequently met, and, as we are informed, decided in favour of Yellow. 8- . —NAVY. ier ajesty's frirate CaStor, 36, Captain Hemey I,34tier,. which was paid off at Chatham yesterday, has been in corn mission upwards of three years, having been commissioned by Lieutenant-Commander Wood in 1835 at Chatham, from which part she sailed in the month ofJ nue in that year. On quitting England the Castor proceeded to join the squadron at the Cape of Gocd Hope, under the command of Commo dore H. D. Trotter, who was succeeded in the command at a -• that station by Rear-Admiral the Hon. K.CsB., the Castor having been attached to his squadron since she has been in commission. During the time the Castor was at the Capeof Good Hope she bore the flag of Commodore Trotter until the appointment of Admiral Grey, who hoisted his flag in the Boscawen, 70. Since she has been in com mission she has been cruising on the eastern and western coasts of Africa, visiting in succession the principal ports and openings on those coasts, and watching the movements of the slavers, to intercept the slave traffic. The crew have been generally healthy, but several deaths from accident have occurred on board since the Castor has been in com mission, seven men of the crew having been drowned by the upsetting of the cutter belonging to the Dart. The Castor sailed from the Cape of Good Hope on the 28th of May, the following vessels being then at the station : The Boscawen, 70, carrying the flag of hear-Admiral Hot Sir W. F. Grey, K.C.8.; the Persian, 12, Commander 3. H. Chads ; the Lyra, 9, screw steamer, Commander R. B. Oldfield ; and the Hermes, 6, paddlewheel steamer, Com mander W. E. A. Gordon. She touched at St. Helena on the homeward passage, and took on board invalids. On being paid off yesterday good conduct gratuities were awarded by order of the Admiralty to the following petty officers, viz.:—George Harris, gunner's mate; Andrew Smith, boatswain's mate ; William Manion, ship's cook ; Vincent Smith, boatswain's mate; and John Byford, cap tain of the mizentop. Nearly the whole of the crew are continuous service men, and have joined the Victory, 101, flagship, at Portsmouth; several have also joined the Waterloo, 120, at Sheerness, and the Renown, 91, screw steamer, the Admiralty granting them six weeks' run on shore. The Castor is not expected to be again placed in commission. _ _ _ Her Majesty's steam transport Rhadamanthus, Mr. F. R. Sturdee commanding, arrived at Woolwich on Saturday from Plymouth, and was admitted into basin to reload with steam machinery fur the western yards. A portion of her cargo will consist of boilers, &c., for her Majesty's steam frigate Immortalite under construction at Pembroke. The Hannibal, 91, screw guardship of steam reserve, Captain G. Gordon, is to go down to moorings off Gosport this week. THE ARMY. The Secretary of War and the authorities at bead-quarters having judged it expedient to establish a more perfect sys tem of obtaining qualified armourer sergeants, for service in regiments, battalions, and corps of the regular army and regiments of embodied militia, a royal warrant has just been issued by the Secretary of War by which it is ordered, that all armourers intended for service in the regular army and regiments of embodied militia shall be enlisted and formed into a corps to be called " The Corps of Artnourer Sergeants," which corps is to be attached to the Royal Small Arms Factory at Milibank. The men so enlisted are, ac cording to the royal warrant, to be governed by various rules which are particularised in the warrant. A new species of breech-loading Millie rifle musket, an American invention, was on Saturday received at Woolwich for the inspection and approval of the select committee of the Arsenal. The calibre and weight are similar to the ordinary muskets at present in use in our service. No de rangement of the barrel is required in loading, the cartridge being applied through the medium of a small piece of mechanism, resembling a trap, over the lock. The cartridge bags are of metal, nicely fitting the chamber, and plugged. with India-rubber, the centre ofthe plugcontaining the per cussion cap, and the charge is guaranteed by the inventor to be secured from injury when exposed to any moisture, even under water. On preparing to reload the action of raising the small cover at the breech withdraws the empty cart ridge case, which is liable to the same amount of wear as tl • gun itself. The difficulties experienced in casting iron ord nance at Woolwich have satisfactorily diminished; neverthe less, it will require many months to complete the undertaking entered into by the establishment to produce the 250 guns promised by the 31st of March. Twelve 68-pounder guns have been at length proved, the whole of which turned out extremely well. From the difficulty of procuring men ac customed to casting iron guns very few of the hands are in any degree acquainted with the work, and, front the severe discipline of the establishment, the practical knowledge of those few was seldom available. The work is now likely to progress at the rate of about five guns per week. Many bad castings have recently turned out in the brassfoundry. Several 12-pound howitzers have been discovered, after boring and turning, to be unfit for service. These were ex perimental guns, containing an extra amount of metal in the casting, requiring an additional cutting of two inches. Some of these guns were so full of boles that a stroke of a sledge-hammer would have broken them into fragments. IMPORTANT SANITARY PROCESS—PRE— SERVATION Ole THE BODY AFTIIR DEATH. On Saturday there was a numerous assemblage at the Anatomical Theatre, Bartholomew's Hospital , of medical and scientific gentlemen, and others interested in the sani tary condition of the population, for the purpose of re ceiving some explanations of a pro cess which has been designated the process Falcony , a fter the name o f the dis tinguished chemist, M. Falcony, whose reputation stand s ent of chemical scie nce. M. Falcon y h as succeeded in bringing to perfec t i on two p rocesses, one for preventing deservedly departm high on the Continent, in connection with thi s decomposition of the human body after death, and of arrest ing it even after it has set in ; and the other for permanent preservation, or, to use a more familiar expressi on , f or em balming t he body. It is to the former that the attention of the general public will more o t i f c u v l i a e r w l y, nothing n i r g e c e t e a d n , i b n e a s o m f u m c h o r e a s im i p n or a tan par c sanitary than to be put in possession of the m eans , a t a mo d erate cost, of pre venting the decomposition of a body which it, is our custom in England to retain for a fortnight if possible. There are some diseases which are the cause of death, where decom position sets in so rapidly that the greatest danger often attends this practice; and, in too many instances, amongst the poorer classes, compelled to sleep even in the same room with the dead relative, numerous cases of infection and fever have taken place. Now, this process of M. Falcony for the prevention of all infectious gases, is simple and cleanly in its application. It consists of a powder, com posed of varions chemical constituents, of which sulphate of zinc is the base; and this being mixed with sawdust is placed under and over the corpse, leaving the face exposed. Covered with this dry preparation the body can be kept for five or six weeks without any apparent change, whilst not the slightest exhalation escapes. Mr. Farrow was present on Saturday, and Dr. Holden was obliging enough to favour the gentlemen present with the results of a test to which that process had been subjected at Bartholomew's. On the 9th of June, the remains of a human leg and foot which had been amputated at the hospital were deposited in a box filled with this preparation. The leg and loot were in an offensive condition of putrefaction, and in a few days would have liquified. On Saturday the box was brought into the theatre and uncovered, when all putrescence had ceased and the flesh had become indurated, somewhat resembling India rubber. Dr. Holden further stated that upon its being put into the preparation, the offensive smell ceased almost instantaneously. The conclusion, therefore, to be drawn from this fact is, that if such result can be obtained by the application of the process to a body in a high state of putrescence and decomposition, the same application, if made soon after death, and before decomposition begins, will be even mere striking and efficacious. The demonstrations were highly satisfactory. Au ex amination was afterwards entered into of the process of embalming, which is performed by the injection of a liquid, and without the mutilation of the body, but as the explana tion of the details of this system would be somewhat too technical for our columns, we feel that we shall be best per forming our duty to the public by inviting the immediate and earnest attention of the Board of Health to this in3por taut practical discovery.
