The usual half-yearly meding of the governors and company of the Bank of England was held this morning, in the Bank Parlour, Threadneedle-street. Bonamy Dobree, Esq., governor, in the chair. The minutes of the last Court having been read and CoLr.cJ, The GOVERNOR said he had to acquaint the Court that the net profits of the Bank of England for the half-year ending the 29th of February, amounted to £646,737, making the amount or " rest" on that day, £3,680,876. After the payment of a dividend at the rate of £4 10s. for the half-year, the rest would remain at £1,025,991. The Court of Directors, therefore, recommended a dividend on interests and profits of £4105., without deduction of income • tax, on the sth of April. The GOVERNOR then proposed a resolution declaring the dividend, adding that it would be due on the sth of April, and that the dividend accounts would be declared and paid on the 7th of April next. The proposition having been seconded, it was carried unanimously. Alderman SALOMONS said it must be gratifying that nothing had occurred during the past six months to destroy the harmony that always characterised the meetings, and he had great pleasure in saying they were always looked up to as a guide by the commercial world. The circumstance that the commercial world looked at the transactions of the Bank of England with unmixed satisfaction, would, ho thought, be gratifying to the Governor, Deputy-Governor, and the whole Court of Directors. (Hear, hear.) He bad great pleasure in moving a vote of thanks to the directors for their exertions during the last six months. MIA LAws seconded the motion, which was put to the meeting and carried unanimously. The GOVERNOB, in returning thanks, said the great ob ject of the directors was to devote themselves entirely to the profit of the Bank and the advantage of the proprietors. The proceedings then terminated. D EDITION. SUN OFFICE, S'eren o'clock. TATTERBALVS-(THIS EVENING).

SINGULAR ACTION AGAINST A STOCKBROYER.-FUNNELL V. SMITH. Plaintiff is a market gardener of Brighton, and defendant is an old member of the Stock-Exchange. The action was brought to recover £lO, under the following circumstances : Mr. Rodney called the plaintiff, who said that in. February last he had £3OO to invest in the funds. Through a friend he called uponidefendant and defendant counted the money, giving a receipt produced for £3OO. There were 4 £lO notes and 32 £5 notes, with £lOO in gold. In return for this money plaintiff received an investment note for £290 only. Plaintiff was sure he gave defendant £3OO. Cross-examined by Mr. Jay—Do not know the number of the notes. Counted the money last on the 6th February, and called upon defendant on the Bth. Received a note from defendant informing witness that there was only £290. Defendant counted the money, not hastily but deli berately. "It was between twelve and one that I called upon defendant, and I told him that if he invested before one o'clock he would save 2s. 6d. in every hundred pounds." His Honour thought the action could not lie as goods sold and delivered. Mr. Jay called defendant, who said that he certainly counted the notes at £3OO, but the clerk made £290. Charles Ford said he was clerk to defendant. Saw plain tiff give defendant a bag, and defendant handed witness some notes. Witness counted the notes, and entered the numbers on a piece of paper (produced) as £l9O. No one could have taken away a note. His Honour —Funnell must have made a mistake. Both the parties ars highly respectable, and I am certain Mr. Smith would not have come here unless he was sure. Nonsuit with costs. COMMISSION ON SALE OF I PUBLIC-HOUSE.-WHITE V. JONES This was an action to recover L 3 175., balance upon a charge of £ll 19s. 6d. for commission upon the sale of a public-house. Mr. Buchanan, for the plaintiff, said this was a hard case upon his client. He was to have had £l5 for selling the house, and in the hope of getting his money he reduced the claim to £ll 19s. 6d. Plaintiff was called, and proved various promises to pay, and his Honour ordered payment in 10 days. LOSS OP BOOKS BY FIRE-GIVINS V. SAVAGE. This was an action upon a tailor's bill, and plaintiff said he was hardly in a position to prove delivery, as some of his books had been destroyed by fire. Mr. Buchanan, for defendant, said his client disputed the delivery of the goods, and he should require proof. Plaintiff was then cross-examined by Mr. Buchanan upon the various items, and swore to the delivery of the goods. Defendant was called, and as positively swore the other way. Mr. Buchanan then contended that the onus of proof was upon the plaintiff, who was non-suited. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH STREET. CAUSING THE DEATH OF AN AGED FEMALE BY CARE LESS DRIVING.--William Edward Cross, of 6, Rochester place, Rochester-row, cabdriver, badge 4,740, was charged before Mr. Bingham with causing the death of Mrs. Jane Burn, a female 80 years of age, (the mother of Mr. James, licensed victualler, of King-street, Soho) by careless driv ing and running over her with cab 2,291. Mary Ann Bailey, a young female, living at 23, Princes street, Leicester-square, said that on Friday last she was looking out of window about four o'clock in the afternoon when she saw the defendant driving a cab up the street at a very quick rate—a gallop. An old lady was crossing the road and the horse touched her umbrella and she fell, and the wheel went over her arm. Thomas Butley, of Peter-street, Wardour-street, said he heard the defendant call out to the old lady, but too late. He went after him, he still driving at the rate of six or seven miles an hour. A gentleman stopped the defendant, who offered to take the old lady to the hospital in his cab, but she preferred going to her home. • Sergeant Fenton, 4 C, said the female was taken to the Middlesex Hospital, where she died on Monday last, and there would be an inquest held to-morrow (Friday). Defendant said he had nothing to say. Mr. Bingham said he should remand him till that day week to see the result of the inquest. CARRIAGE ROBBEItY.-IVilliam Cronin, a lad of about 15, was charged before Mr. Bingham with being concerned with two others not in custody in stealing a leather bag, containing a silver card case, &c., of the value of £5, the property of Mr. Charles B. Findlay, of 15, Conduit-street, Hyde-park. Sergeant Charles Cole, 23 C, said that on the previous afternoon, at four o'clock, he saw the prisoner, with two others, in Hanover-square, and after watching them for some time he saw an elder boy take the bag from a brougham standing at a door in Hanover-street. On accosting the prisoner in Poland-street, and asking what he had got un der his coat, he said—" Don't show me up, Mr. Cole ; if I had seen you I should not have taken it. Don's ' buff ' against me (give him a character)." The bag, which ha took from under his coat, is that produced. He knew the prisoner well, and he had been convicted at that court before. Mrs. G. C. Findlay identified the bag and its contents as her property. It was safe in the carriage just before she missed it. Prisoner, who said he did not wish to say anything, was remanded. THAMES. COUNTERPEITING FOREIGN MONEY.—Edouard Wil helm Bird, aged 52, cigar maker, Clara Lohmann, 35, and Mary Ann Lohmann, her daughter, 14, were brought up on remand, before Mr. Selfe, charged with having in their possession .537 pieces of counterfeit coin, made to represent Prussian silver money. The prisoners were taken into custody ox Friday last, at a house in Morgan-street, Commercial-road East, by Mr. James Brennan, an ex-inspector of police, who is employed by the authorities of the Royal Mint, and 537 pieces of counterfeit money, made to represent third-sixths and twelfths of thalers, Prussian silver money, were found upon the male prisoner, and in the room where he was arrested with the other prisoners. He said that he had committed a great crime, and that the females were inno cent. He also said that he had manufactured the coin at a house in Tait-street, Spitalfields, whether Mr. Brennan proceeded, and in a room, formerly occupied by the male pri soner, discovered indications that the process of manufac turing base coin had been carried on there. Mr. Brennan also discovered a knife in the room, with white metal used in the manufacture of base coin adhering to it. Since the first examination of the prisoners, Mr. Bren nan, a moat intelligent and persevering man, has been pur suing his inquiries, and has discovered that large quanti ties of counterfeit silver money has been sent over to Prussia, and is in circulation there. The male prisoner intended to leave England for Prussia on Saturday, for the purpose of carrying on his nefarious traffic there. His certificates, enabling him to obtain a pas port, were signed by Mr. Clive, M.P., the Under- Secretary of States for the Home Department, and by Mr. Jardine, one of the magistrates of the Bow-street police court, on the recommendation of M. Mocheur, a foreigner, and professor of languages, who had occasionally acted as interpreter in this court. The counterfeit money produced by Mr. Brennan is executed in a very superior manner, and with a harder and better metal than is gene rally made use of b y L on d on ce n t ers of base money. Mr. Brennan describ e d th e we i g ht o f each counterfeit money to be "within a s h a d e " o f th e genuine silver money of Prussia. Three or i g i na l pi e ces of good Prussian coin, from which the dies h a d b een cas t for the spurious coin, were found on the male prisoner. Mr. Bittany, from the office of the Solicitor to the Trea sury, said that before he completed the case against the prisoners he wished that further and more important in quiries should be made concerning them. The case was in the hands of Mr. Brennan, and was one of no ordinary magnitude. The officers expected to make other discoveries and to trace more of the gang engaged in the manufacture of foreign base coin. He respectfully solicited another remand. Mr. Selfe felt no hesitation in complying with the request made to him on the part of the Crown, and again remanded the prisoners until next Tuesday. CHURCH RATES. A number of petitions were presented against the aboli tion of church-rates. THIRD READING. On the motion of Lord REDESDALE, the Grand Sur rey Docks and Canal Bill was read a third time and passed. BENEFIT SOCIETIES RULES AMENDMENT BILL. This bill passed through committee, and was reported without amendments. THE NEW FRENCH TREATY. Lord HARDWICKE presented a petition from the Shipowners' Association of Liverpool, complaining of the omission fu the treaty of any provisions for the satisfactory regulation of the navigation laws of France. Lord TAUNTON rose for the purpose of moving that their lordships agree with the Commons in the address to her Majesty on the subject of the treaty of commerce with France, and that the blank in that address be filled up with the words "lords spiritual and temporal and." The noble lord said he could have desired that the task he had undertaken would have been taken by some other person of greater weight in that house than himself, but he must sayhe never had a duty to perform more agreeable to his own feelings. (Hear, hear.) The treaty came before them under the most favourable circumstances, it hav ing received nearly the unanimous sanction .of the House of Commons, which, he thought, on that occa sion. merely reflected the opinions of the constituents of the kingdom on the subject. In Lancashire and the Pot teries it had been received with the greatest satisfaction, and that feeling would be increased on its ratification. One of the great objects sought by the treaty was drawing still closer the bonds of amity between the two nations. (Hear.) He would not weary the house with any statistics, but he might state that England exported less to France than it did to Holland. Mr. Pitt had devoted the powers of his great mind to enlarge the intercourse, but war and the event of the French Revolution had prevented his success. He thought that one of the greatest preventatives against war was commerce, and the treaty would increase our commercial intercourse with France, and therefore act as an additional security for the maintenance of peace. A short time ago the relations between this country and the United States were in such a condition that at one time war seemed inevitable, but that calamity was averted by the intimacy of our commercial intercourse with that great country. This fact alone would show the impor tance of promoting ax increase of trade with. France. There had been a strong feeling against the con clusion of any commercial treaty, from the fear that when concessions were once made we should no longer have them to offer other nations. He fully recognised the fact that the days for equivalents were gone, but this treaty was not one that could be objected to on that ground. (Hear.) The prin cipal concessions we had made by the new treaty were necessary for our own sakes. The noble lord here pro ceeded to detail the principal points in the treaty, and proceeded to remark that in the importance of the changes proposed it was necessary to remember the present state of the French tariff, by which almost all our manufactures were heavily taxed with protective duties—a large number of our staples prohibited altogether. (Hear, hear.) It had been said that the duty on French wines and spirits ought not to have been reduced, but he thought that the admission of French wines for consump tion in this country would be attended with most beneficial results, by bringing within our reach a substitute for the strong adulterated alcoholic drinks that had for years been largely consumed in this country. (Hear, hear.) Without entering at length into the financial results that would follow the completion of the treaty, he considered that our finances were in such a state as fully justified the Chancellor of the Exchequer in sacrificing the revenue derived from the wine duties for the sake of the bene fits their abolition would confer upon England. Heconsi dered he ought to touch upon the clause allowing the ex portation of coal about which much had been said. The stipulation in question is not to put an export duty on coal for the next ten years. He must confess he did not view such a provision with the alarm that others had done, as he thought that circumstance ought to be looked upon simply as an item in a commercial treaty. It had at one time been asserted that the exportation of coal would hasten the exhaustion of that mineral in our own country, but that notion, he thought, had been entirely abandoned. Then with respect to shipping, he thought the stipulations of the treaty were decidedly advantageous to British shipping, as it placed both British and French ships upon the same footing. He had no fear that the ship ping of this country would suffer in the slightest degree by the making of this treaty. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS-(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Belper Water; Liverpool Corporation Water; Llandaff and Canton District Markets ; Midland Railway (Station in St. Pancras, &c.) ; Midland Railway (use of railways in and near London ; Shrewsbury and Welchpool Railway ; West Somerset Railway ; York Improvement, &c. ; Man chester and Buxton Road ; and North Landon Railway. ELECTION COMMITTEES. The committee appointed to try the merits of the peti tions against the sitting members for the borough of Ber wick-on-Tweed were sworn at the table. CHURCH RATES. An unusually large number of petitions were presented in favour of d against the abolition of church rates. CITY OF NORWICH. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE gave notice that, on Monday next, he would move for a writ for the election of two burgesses to serve in Parliament for the city of Norwich. THE SHIP FAWN, &c. Lord A. CHURCHILL asked the Secretary to the Ad miralty whether her Majesty's ship Fawn, which had re cently sailed for Australia, had been sent there as an aug mentation t 6 the squadron at present on that station, or for the purpose of relieving anoth er vesse l or d ere d home ; whether the attention of the Government had been called to the fact that France had, within the last year, reorganised her military and naval establish ments at New Caledonia, and had now madelt her princi pal station in those seas : and whether it is intended to place oar naval commanding officers upon a more equal footing with the French, by creating the Australian station into an admiral's command ? Lord C. P.AGET said that the vessel in question was not sent out for the purpose of augmenting her Majesty's squadron, but merely to replace another war ship. With regard to Australia, it was intended to send out a commo dore, but not an admiral, to the station in question. NEWSPAPER PROPRIETORS. Sir S. NORTHCOTE asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer whether newspaper proprietors who may have in their possession any stamped sheets on the day when the proposed new-regulations for the abolition of the impressed stamp take effect, would be allowed to use them, and to re tain the privilege of sending them free by post The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that some arrangements would to made to prevent newspaper proprietors suffering loss under the alteration proposed. In consequence of the illness of Sir Rowland Hill it was im possible to carry out the alteration in question at once, but it would be shortly effected. RESTS FOR PORTERS. Mr. SLA.NEY asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if provision could be made for rests for porters and others carrying heavy burdens, on or near the great lines of public thoroughfares, in place and in addition to those removed. Sir G. C. LEWIS could not 'give any information on the subject, for neither the Secretary of State nor the police had any authority in the matter. LICENSING. In reply to Mr. HARDY and Sir S. 1c ORTHCOTE, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the second reading of the Licensing Bill would not be brought forward before next week, and to-morrow he would be able to state the day when it would be moved. The wine merchants of the country were considering the subject, as it was calculated to affect their interests, and in tended to call a general meeting of the trade. With regard to that body, he could not make any communication until after the meeting. CHINA. In reply to Mr. BAILEY, Lord J. RUSSELL said that he would make a shore statement on the subject of China to-morrow. (Hear, hear.: BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL laid on the table several petitions from merchants, bankeis, and others in the city of London, Nottingham, and other places in favour of his bill on this subject. He then moved for leave to bring in the bill to amend and consolidate the laws relating to bank ruptcy and insolvency in England and Wales. The right hon. and learned member commenced by observing that the evils of the present law of bankruptcy and insolvency were frequently the subject of complaint, and in regard to this matter this countrywas inferior to any other. (Hear, hea`r.) Having adverted to previous legislation on. the subject, he proceeded. If a creditor had £6OO to receive from the effects of a debtor, no less than £2OO would be deducted for the expenses of those persons appointed by Government to collect and distribute these assets. From returns which he held in his hand, it appeared that for every £lOO assets to be distributed, £33 13s. sd. had to be paid :for its distribution, With regard to t4O total abolition of imprisonment for debt, he would gladly have made a provision for that purpsse in his bill, but he was afraid it would encounter such diversity of opinion that it could no tbe safely included, but it might form the subject of another bill. The first evil he proposed to remedy was to do away with the anornaly.of a different system applicable to bankruptcy and insolvency, by the introduction of a uniform system. His bill provided that where no fraud was proved against a bankrupt, and he surrendered his effects, he should be dil e] oirged, and no power of dealing with his 111 , are assets vested in his creditors. Those who were not willing to come before the court to give information should, after 40 days' impri • sonment, be brought up for examination. The court should then deal with their estate, and they should be r discharged from custody with an order of protection. He next proposed to deal with the re-administration •of the law, and to do away with the commissioners iu Lon don. These officials sat only on alternate days, and then only perhaps for three hours a day. He would substitute in their place one judge ' to have the same status and emoluments as judges of Equity or Common Law. The effect would be •to render the adminis tration of the law at once simple and expeditious, and confer a great boon on those who had to seek redress in the Bankruptcy or Insolvency courts. He did not propose that the present Commis sioners should be deprivbd of their salaries, but at their death their office should terminate. (LEFT SPEAKING.)

HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION, BROMPTON.—On Sunday morning last, by the kind permission of the rector, the Rey. R. E. Coplestone, a sermon was preached at St. Mary's, Barnes, by the Rev. J. F. Manby, incumbent of Mortlake, in aid of the above excellent charity. The text was taken from Acts, 13 chap., 36 verse—" For David, after he had served his own generation, by the will of God fell asleep, and was laid unto his fathers." At the conclu sion of a most eloquent and interesting discourse, in which each of the leading characters in Scripture who " had served his own generation" was appropriately referred to, the reverend gentleman urged upon his hearers the duty of imitating the example in the text. Hav ing given a short account of the rive of this much needed institution, 19 years ago, and of its present posi tion of eminent usefulness, as one of the noblest of the charities which form, as it were, a halo of glory round the vast metropolis, the rev, preacher briefly, but feelingly, appealed for help on behalf of nearly 208 fellow creatures, whose sufferings are being alleviated, or the pro gress of whose malady is being stayed, by means of the comforts and medical treatment in this hospital. Tho in stitution was stated to be altogether unendowed, and hav ing, moreover, a yearly deficiency (beyond the a mount of annual subscriptions) of about £5,0100, which sum has to be made up by legacies, church collections, and donations. The collection, notwithstanding the com paratively small size of the church, and the unpromising morning' amounted to £32 17s, 9d.. WRECK OF A LARGE AMERICAN SlllP.—TElGN night—Yesterday morning MOUTH, DEVON, Tuesday large vessel was seen on the rocks near Babacombe, t(,ur miles west of this port. She proved to be the American ship Caroline, from Havre, having mistaken the lights on her voyage. The lifeboat belonging to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution was immediately launched and pro ceeded to her assistance. The lifeboat remained by the ship for some time. and in the course of the night, in conjunc tion with a steam tug, brought the crew of 16 men on shore. Three of the lifeboat's crew were left in charge of the ves sel. part of her keel is knocked away, and there is no doubt that she will become a total wreck in a very short time. This valuable lifeboat w as i ns t rumen t a l on l y a f ew weeks ago in saving from destruction a large barge and her crew. THE NETV _REFORM BILL. Last night a public meeting of the inhabitants of Paddington, convened by the churchwardens of the parish in compliance with u requisition presented to the vestry, signed by numerous influential parishioners, was held in the Vestry Hall, Harrow te, c(ee.ider the provi,ious of the proposed new Reform Bill—Mr. Churchwarden Dickinson was unanimously called to the chair. Mr. ROBINS, in moving the first resolution, as follows—" That it is the opinion of this meeting that the bill now before Parliament, entitled A bill further to amend the representation of the people,' can be considered by the real Reformers of this country as a trifling instalment only of that necessary amendment which both reason and justice i mperatively demand," said, by adopting this resolution they would not be stating a great deal in favour of the bill, which was a very little bill, both in respect to the amount of reform it would afford and its contents, as it only extended to about a page and a half of a newspaper; it had been said that good things were usually wrapped up in small par cels, but he questioned if this would scarcely agree. with that idea, for it was, but a trifling instalment of reform, and very trifling indeed. (Hear, hear.) The only advantage Paddington would gain by it, in the increase of the number of electors, would be five—(hear and shame)—and perhaps not more than one. (Oh, oh.) Marylebone would fare but little better ; in the Tower Hamlets somewhat more. Ho'ic ever, in some of the large country towns the franchise would certainly be increased to a very much greatei extent, so that out of the 200,000 electors which Lord John Russell proposed to create only a very small proportion would be added to the me tropolis. The enfranchisement of . Chelsea and Ken sington, he maintained, was not considered as an advantage, but he believed it was merely for the purpose of preventing those two parishes from re turning the members for Middlesex entirely for themselves, and thereby giving greater power to the great landowners in the election of the members for that county. He thought such a course was trifling with the large and intelligent constituencies of this great 'metropolis. (Hear, hear.) He looked upon the bill as only an oyster with a little lemon before dinner, and he thought they had better ac cept it as such. (Laughter, and hear, hear.) Rea son and justice imperatively demanded a.greater reform by a larger increase of electors and protec tion by the ballot; and he sincerely hoped - this bill of Lord John Russell would only be received as an instalment of reform, a precursor of a better bill to meet the wants of the people. (Applause.) Mr. HARGREAVES seconded the resolution; on which au amendment was proposed objecting altogether to the bill, and advocating the lodger franchise, which was rejected by a small majority, and the resolution was then carried. Mr. LANGIIAM moved, and Mr. PERRY seconded, the next resolution :—" That the amendment to thc eald hill. proposed by our honourable re presentatiye, Mr. Edwin Tames, fbr gi•rins- (Agora the franchise, is highly approved by this meeting, and deserves the earnest support of every Liberal member of the House of Commons." Carried unanimously, with applause. It was further moved by the Rev. R. EVEREST, and seconded by Captain LIVEING :-" That the omission of the metropolitan constituencies, and of Marylebone in particular, from the list of those boroughs to which an increased number of representatives is proposed to be given, is so grossly unfair, that it calls for the severest condemnation of this meeting." Lord FERMOY, in rising to suppo r t thi s reso l u ti on , was received with loud and prolonged applause. After adverting to the receipt of a telegram which he had just received from his colleague, Mr. E. James, regretting his unavoidable absence, the noble lord said he had received this Reform Bill of Lord S. Russell with great dissatisfaction, but not with disappointment. (Hear.) He was dissatisfied because it fell far short of the just requirements of the people, but he was not disappointed, because he never believed that the Cabinet, constituted as it was at present, would have brought in more. (Hear, and cheers.) This Reform Bill had a series of com promises, and was full of negative quantities. (Laughter.) To a certain extent the nomination boroughs were preserved to satisfy Mr. Gladstone and the Conservative element of the Cabinet; another portion of the bill he looked upon as most unjust, which limited the franchise to a great ex tent in this country—he meant the lodger fran chise. (Hear, hear.) The only portion of the bill which was good was that which extended the franchise, and that was a compromise which the Liberal party benefited by ; and that was only in order to satisfy the Liberal party in the Cabinet, such as Lord John, Lord Palmerston, and the Bright party ; so he thought he was not far wrong in saying this bill was full of negative quantities, one countervailing the other. There was a good old saying, that " charity began at home," and they would, therefore, see how the bill would work in their own constituency. The increase of the franchise in Paddington would be exactly one. (Hear, hear, and laughter.): He did not know the name of this happy gentleman, but he ought to come forward and thank the noble lord for har ing thus made an act of Parliament solely for his benefit. (Roars of laughter.) If that was true with regard to Paddington it was more or less true with regard to the other metropolitan districts. It compared mast unfavourably with other Reform Bills of preceding years, Lord J. Russell himself, in 1844, having proposed a repeal of the ratepaying clauses. It was monstrous to introduce such a bill, for in Calne, a small Whig borough, containing a population of 5,195, an estimated rental of £24,406, and registered electors but 174; and yet Calne had its member preserved ; and in Portarlington, a Tory borough, with a population of about 2,964, rental not ascertained, and electors only 92, there also their one member was preserved ; whilst Marylehone, with a population of 370,967 ; rental, £2,442,611; electors, 21,031; and they give no increase to her representation. He concluded by stating that before he gave his vote for throwing out the bill, he would try to have it amended, and if they failed in doing that, then after that it would be as well to consider as to what was best to be done with it. The noble lord having resumed his seat amidst great cheering, the resolution w as unanimously approved. A vote of thanks to Lord Fermoy and the Chair man closed the proceedings. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Report of the Registrar-General.) The health of the people of London is better than it was recently. The mortality has declined, and the deaths have fallen in three weeks from 1,500 to 1,397. The corrected average number of deaths of the corresponding week of the ten pre vious years is 1,365; so the deaths of the week that. ended on Saturday, March 10, were 32 more than the estimated number. The weather was inclement, and had it not been for the mildness of the intervening week the mortality have would probably been higher. Pope said of himself that he was an " atmosphei ical creature ; " and thio same may be affirmed with equal truth of the population of London. The tide of death falls and rist.s with the thermometer. Many hardy constitution s resist extremes of cold and heat, because they la ve i n themselves, as Dr. Edward Smith has ingeniously shown, the power of increasing or diminishing the internal combustion of carbon. Others lease that power, and die in consequence. The deaths of the consumptive do not appear to be accelerated by cold ; last week tb.e num ber (143) was below the avtrage. The diseases of the organs of breathing were rife, and were fatal in 387 instances, the oirrected average of corresponding weeks being 301-5. The deaths by these diseases were 23 at the awes of 20- 40, 57 at the ages of 40-60, and 88 at the ages of 60-80. The power of resisting cold climb ishes as age advances, and the clothing should, therefore, be increased. An old man of 101 died in the week. Small-pox was fatal —many children are -still de prived of the protection of vaccination. Sixteen p er s o ns died of measles, 51 of scarlatina, '0 of dip theria, 42 of whooping-cough ; 33 of typbutt, typhia, or typhine ; 15 of diarrhoea, 1 adult of cholera. Eight persons were killed by mechanical, 'violence, 4 by drowni n g , 13 b y suffocation, and 8 by burns. The fires of Smithfield and the Suttee fit vs of India have been extinguished , but th e fi res of (our own hearths destroy hundreds and deform thou sands of English women and children annually. Assuredly some remedy may be found ; w h y are con tbustible n dr o e t s b se e s b c u a r r n e e l d es t sl o y de w trth n , Or 10 siffs.ohcoauteldd E c i h gh il t dre p u. ers brs, under the bedclothes and otherwise in seven days. Such deaths can scarcely be considered inevitable accidents. Last week the births of 919 boys and. 867 girls, in all 1,786 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the yeiirs 1850-59 the average number was 1,768. HEENAN, TIIE PUGILIST.—The "Benicia Boy, " who has for some time past been in trainin g at Harnham, near Salisbury, has just left that place for the purpose of prosecuting his preparations in some more retired locality. Thz. New York illustrated News has sent a special correspondent, and a distinguished artist, to Eng land, to attend on the international encounter between Heenan and Sayers, and give correct views or descriptions of the training grounds, the mode of training the pugilists, the sporting places in England, with faithful portraits of Heenan and Sayers, and of their sergoios.
