Mr. James—And the defendant is very nearly done nip str't he? (Laughter.) Witness—He never looked so. Sergeant Parry—Give my lord and the jury an idea of the value of the furniture in the Court-house. Witness—There was a bedstead which cost £94, six chairs, £32, and a chimney glass worth £76. His house was one of the best furnished in Glamorganshire. Mr. James—The prices mentioned are those which you charged when you sold the things ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Edward M'Condriff—l raided at Liverpool. I knew Mr. Harris, the plaintiff's husband, lie lived with me for a short time, but as his health was delicate he was advised to take a sea voyage. Mr. William Jones—l am a wine and spirit merchant. I knew Mr. Thomas, the defendant. I knew him when he was engaged to marry the plaintiff. He told me in Mrs. Harris's presence that he intended to be married to her in a week or two. This occurred on the Ist of June, 1857. TMs was the case for the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant Parry addressed the jury upon the evi dence he had adduced, and - said he felt certain that the jury would give the plaintiff handsome compensation for the pain she had undergone from the heartless conduct of the defendant. He knew his learned friend Mr. James would address them forcibly for his client, but one thing had been proved beyond a doubt was that the defendant was a wealthy man, so his learned friend could not appeal to their feelings not to give heavy damages on the ground of the limited means of his client. Mr. Edwin James, for the defendant, said he had nothing at all to impute against the conduct of the plaintiff. The question he bad to deal with was one of damages, and damages only. His learned friend had said something about the position of the parties, but ho thought the parties were quite on an equality, because if the plaintiff was a barmaid, the defendant was, most probably, a loafing, stupid sort of country squire, who could not write, and who, when he got a letter, could not read it. (Loud laughter.) He thought the jury would not have failed to observe, during the evidence, that the defendant was a very eccen• tric person, for what would be thought, hero in London, of a man who would quietly go into a shop in Oxford street and say to the tradesman, " Give me a table. (Laugh ter.) If you don't I'll become your bitterest enemy, but if you do I'll be the best friend you ever had." He would not trouble the jury with any lengthy remarks, because the jury had simply to say what amount of injury plaintiff had received in not becoming the wife of this curious specimen of an uncultivated west country squire—(laughter)—who could not read his love letters. (Loud laughter.) Mr. Baron Martin summed up the evidence, remarking that it was ono for exemplary damages. The defendant's position had been a little exaggerated, but that was a cir. cumstance entire for the consideration of the jury. . The jury retired to consider their verdict, and after an absence of about a quarter of an hour returned into court with a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, £l,OOO. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCII.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor and Lords Justices.) IN RE THE MEXICAN AND SOUTH AMERICAN COMPANY, EX PARTE MOSES AND SIMON lIYAM. This was an appeal from a decision of the Maxtor of the Rolls, and his chief clerk's certificate, declining to remove the names of Messrs. Hymn Brothers from the list of share holders of this company in respect of the sale, per broker, of 600 shares of this company, at 2s. tid. each, to Mr. Ha stn. Mr. Bovill, Q.C., and Mr. Roundel rainier, Q.C., ap peared for the appellant; Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., represented the respondent. After hearing counsel on both sides, their lordships were of opinion that the sale was a fictitious, and sot a bone fide sale of their shares to Mr. Hason. Their lordships affirmed the decision of the Master of the Rolls, and dismissed the appeal, with costs. MARGATE COUNTY COURT. (Before the Deputy Judge.) TILE LATE GALE-IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF VESSELS- CHRISTIAN V. WELLS. This was an action to recover £l3 damages sustained in consequence of the reckless conduct of those in charge •f defendant's vessel. Plaintiff is owner of a vessel, which, during the recent severe gale, was moored in Broadstairs harbour. Defendant's :vessel being caught in the gale, dashed into the harbour with all her sails flying, and in flicted upon plaintiff's vessel the injuries complained of. Mr. Buchanan, of London, stated this to the judge, and called plaintiff, who deposed to the above facts. For the defence it was urged that it was the plaintiff's duty to have got out of the way under such circumstances. Of course under stress of such severe weather as that lately raging on the coast the defendant's vessel endeavoured to get out of danger as quickly as possible. To counteract this defence, Mr. Buchanan called the harbour master, who said that it was usual to have a man on the look out to loose the mooring chains when necessary. He (the harbour master) always gave instructions on such occasions, and during the late gale was upon the watch. Now, the water in Broadstairs harbour is very shallow, and the stream quick, and very unlike those of Ramsgate, and there was plenty of room for defendant's vessel to have got in quietly. Those on board defendant's vessel should have kept a look out. Defendant still held to his defence that there was very little room, and that it was plaintiff's duty to have moved, but his Honour held that, upon the evidence of the harbour master (an impartial witness), plaintiff must have the verdict. Costs allowed. PROMISSORY Noms AND AGREEMENTS; ROBINS AND ANOTIEF.R V. BOYS. This was an action to recover £3l 125., balance of a pro missory note for £4o,a.nd interest—defendant being surety. Mr. Buchanan, of London, for the plaintiff, said that in June, 1856, Mrs. Robins, then Elizabeth Bishop, advanced £4O to one Price—defendant becoming surety. Price gave a bill of sale, the, proceeds, when realised, to be divided be tween Mrs. Robins and Price's brother. Tho goods sold, however, only realised for Mrs. Robins £l3, and the pre sent action was brought against the defendant, as surety upon the promissory note, to recover the balance. Evidence having been given in support of this statement, an objection was taken to the promissory note, Defendant contended that it was an agreement, and, as such, had not been properly stamped. Mr. Buchanan was heard in answer to the agreement, and the Deputy-Judge said it was a very nice point, which he should reserve for the Judge of the court to decide. The case could be adjourned, and during the time between now and the next court day, Mr. Buchanan could furnish the defendant with a copy of the bill of sale and note for £4O. POLICE IN 2 'ELLIGENCE-(TIIIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY ASSAULT ON A TRADESMAN.-Mr. Samuel Gawan Nawark Stuart, of 19, Ranelagh-stroet, publican, was charged before Mr. Bingham with an assault, under the following extraordinary circumstances : Mr. George Kindersley Jackson, oilman, of 21, Elizabeth- Street, Pimlico, said that on the previous evening he was on one of the Royal Blue omnibuses passing through the Hay market to Pimlico, when the conversation with the defen dant and others on the omnibus turned on the aristocracy, apropos of the Duke of Northumberland. The defendant then said he was one of the Stuarts, and that his cousin was the rightful heir to tho Crown. Mr. Bingham said he trembled for the Prince of Wales, then. Mr. Jackson said he did. The defendant then said that his cousin, who was lying dormant, could soon prove that, and would do away with " the - Queen." lie (Mr. Jack son) was a little startled at this, and began to. think the defendant not right in his mind. The defendant then said he was one of the warriors (he (witness) supposed of the Stuarts), and upon this he told the defendant he was more like a liar than a warrior. Mr. Bingham said the word "liar" was a bard word to address to a warrior, or even to a draper, not that the Stuarts ware a very warlike set. Mr. Jackson said the coachman was sitting between them, and the defendant struck him with the back of his hand across his face; and again, when opposite the Hay market Theatre, gave him another blow on the mouth, cut ting his lip and causing his nose to bleed very freely. He then gave him into custody. Inspector Holden said the defendant had not been drinking. The defendant said the complainant said the Emperor of France was going to take England, and he asked him if he would say it again, and on his doing so—being a true-born Englishman (a Yorkshireman)—he struck him. He told the complainant ho had a son a schoolmaster on board the Cornwallis, and on tho complainant saying he was a liar he again struck him. He was sorry he had forgot himself so far as to strike him. Mr. Bingham said all he (the defendant) said about liar, being an Englishman, and about Napoleon taking England, was very laudable, but he did not think the using of such language towards the Queen very laudable. The defendant said he loved the Queen as he did his life. Mr. Bingham said no one more disapproved of the use of the word " liar" than he did, and no one would make more allowance than ho would for a blow struck in return for giving the lie to a person. But if ever the word was justi fied it was when a man on the top of an omnibus used such language towards our Sovereign Lady Queen Victoria, and who boasts of his relative being the heir to the Throne. He had no right to strike the blow, and had no one to blame but himself. The blow was not justifiable, and he should fine him 40s. for the assault, and to find one surety for three months to be of good behaviour towards the com plainant. A CASE OF TORTURE IN INDIA,—A case of tor ture has recently been brought to light in the Umbella dis trict. A prisoner was swung un to a tree, his toes just touching the ground, with the view of extorting confession. Three days after the man died, and the parties implicated were committed for trial on the charge of culpable homicide and torture. The Thanadar, although acquitted of the charge of culpable homicide, was " convicted of torturing a prisoner for the purpose of extorting confession," and sen tenced to imprisonment for five years, a fine of 500 rupees, and proscription from Government employment.—Bonibay Standard, Oct. 2. , - DEATH FROM A SHARK BITE,—A fatal accident of this description occurred on the beach on Thursday morning. Four boatmen were engaged in pushing off a boat from the beach, when one of them was seized by a shark, which carried away the whole of the soft side of the left thigh, both inside and behind, exposing the bone. The man was found clinging to the boat by the men who heard him cry out, and must have been seized behind. He died on being hauled into the boat. One boatman said he saw the shark, which he described as having been about 10 or 12 feet long. The accident took place about 60 yards from the spot where the boy was seized some three weeks back. Zadras Examiner, Oct. 15. offence before the magistrates, and sentenced by them to two months' imprisonment in Coldbath-fields Prison, Clerkenwell. He appealed against the conviction to the Court of Quarter Sessions, under the power of appeal given by the Act of Parliament, and the appeal was heard yes terday, and the conviction affirmed by the Assistant-Judge, who said he would reserve a case under the power vested in him for the consideration upon appeal of the superior court. His (Mr. James's) learned friend, Mr. Lush, who was counsel for the prosecution, objected that the Assistant-Judge had no paver to reserve a case, and hence the motion to this court for a writ of habeas cor pus. The conviction took place under the 3d section of the act. cap. 129, which sets out that, " If any person should by violence, or by threat, or by intimidation, or by molest ing, or obstructing another, endeavour to force any work man to leave his employer, he shall be deemed guilty of an offence against the statute." • The following was the form and terms of conviction which the magistrates followed, namely, that "in the parish of St. Luke, county of Mid dlesex, the defendant, William Perham, did unlawfully, by threats, try to force Jocelyn to leave the employment of Messrs. Piper." Now he (Mr. James) submitted that there was no evidence to support the alleged offence under the statute, and that the conviction could not be main tained. There was no evidence that Perham had unlawfully by threats forced Jocelyn to leave his em ployers' work. There were two objections taken to the manner in which the offence was stated. In the first place, it was then eontended, and was contended now, that the prosecution should have set out the threats which were used, and the nature of them, in order that the Court might judge whether they were threats within the meaning of the statute ; and, secondly, that there was no evidence that any threat was made, forcibly or other wise, to intimidate anybody, and that it must be a threat that compelled the party to sthom it was made to leave his employment. Now, the charge did not allege that a threat was made to any person; and ho submitted to the Court that it must be shown that a threat was made to the person. ,It might be that a threat was made to some other person, as, for instance, a party might threaten a man's wife or some third party with a view of inducing him (Jocelyn) to leave his employers ; but this conviction left it entirely uncertain, because it did not show that any throat or in timidation had been used against him ; and that being so, he (Mr. James) apprehended that their lordships would be of opinion that the offence was not clearly stated. In relation to tho question of "threats," there were numer ous cases collected by Mr. M'Namara. In Paley, p. 173, it was thus laid down:—" Upon this point, also, it is ne cessary to state not merely the terms, but the particular acts of the offence, to the Court," and in a great many cases it was said, "it was not enough to state the offence in the terms of the statute, but that you must set out the overt acts, for the benefit of the Court, and it must be clearly stated that it was a threat of intimidation to the person," In this case the conviction left it quite uncertain as to whom the alleged threats were made. These were the grounds upon which he ventured to submit that this con viction could not be maintained, and to hope that the Court would grant the rule. Application refused. The learned gentleman intends to renew his application in the Court of Exchequer. BRITISII POSSESSIONS. Railways. Atlantic & St Lawrence Leased at 6 per cent Blin.,Baroda&Cent.lnd gu. 5 percent. Do.

(Before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Channel and Watson.) HILLS V. THI: LONDON GASLIGHT COMPANY. The Court was occupied the whole of the day in further hearing the arguments in this case, which is for an infringe ment of a gas patent, and has now occupied their lordships several days. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. (Before Mr. Baron Martin and a Common Jury.) BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE -HARRIS V. THOMA. 4 This was an action for breach of promise of marriage brought by the plaintiff, a widow of a licensed victualler, carrying on business at Aberdovy, against the defendant, a gentleman of indopendent fortune, residing at Merthyr Tydvil. Tho damages were laid at £1,200. Mr. Sergeant Parry, with whom was Mr. Quin, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., and Mr. Milard for the defendant. Mr : Sergeant Parry, in opening the case, detailed to tho jury the facts of the case, as afterwards given in evidence, and stated it was for tho injury his client had suffered from the defendant trifling with her feelings for four or five years, that ■he now sought compensation from a jury, and the position of that gentleman in society would justify them in returning a verdict for the full amount claimed. The learned gentleman then called Miss Sophia Dawson, who said—l know the plaintiff and defendan tin this case. The defendant ix a gentleman of in dependant fortune. The relations of the plaintiff kept the the Crown Inn, at Merthyr. Mrs. Harris used to come on visits, and remain there some time. It was during one of these visits that the defendant became acquainted with her. He afterwards became her accepted suitor. He made her several presents, among them were some rings. By Mr. James—The plaintiff might have served in the bar on some occasions. The marriage, I understood, was to be performed on the death of defendant's father, but on that event happening he married another lady. The plain tiff felt very acuately such a proceeding on the part of the defendant. Re-examined by Sergeant Parry—l remember the death of the plaintiff's father. It took place in the middle of last year. I saw Mrs. Harris in his company within a month of that event. The lady never acted as barmaid during the defendant's visiting at the Crown. She was always treated as one of the family, and so was he during his visits. Mrs. Jones said—l am the sister of the plaintiff. Last September she was 29 years of ago. My husband kept the Crown Inn at Merthyr. I remember the defendant be coming acquainted with my sister. My sister was marricei early in life, when she was about 16 years of age. Her daughter resided with us. Mr. Thomas know she was the daughter of the plaintiff. He used to give her presents. She is about nine years of age. My sister's hus band died six or seven years ago. She was a widow, when the defendant became acquainted with her. The whole of the circumstances of the plaintiff's early marriage were explained to him, and he said he did not care, he would have no one but "Mag," and if he had only a thousand a year, " Mag" was to have the control of it. He continued his attentions to sny sister after his father's death. lam aware that many presents were given to my sister by the defendant. He on one occasion wanted to buy her a bonnet. He was told she did not require it. He, however, bought her a dress. I remember him making her presents of some rings. Ono ring he placed on her fourth finger, where it has remained ever since. My sister has often wished to take it off, but I told her not to do so, but to wait and see the and of the affair. (Laughter.) The defendant resided in a largo handsome building, called the Court house. He told me his income was between three and four thousand a year, which he said was surely enough for " Mag. " and himself to live upon. (Laughter.) When I visited his establishment, since the death of his father, he kept six servants, a huntsman, and a park of hounds. I know while he was paying his addresses to my sister he urged a secret marriage, but the plaintiff told him as his father had discarded one of his sisters for marrying without his consent, it would not be right to take such a step. The defendant said ho did not care if his father discarded him, as he would marry her without a shilling. Mr. Thomas cannot write very well, so my daughter used to write his letters for him. (Laughter.) She would have been a good witness if she had been here. (Laughter.) By Mr. E. James—The defendant's father was an oddity, and so was the defendant. (Laughter.) I supposed ho had been to school, but he appeared to have made but little use of it. (Laughter.) My sister's husband's was a publican. Before his death was known there were doubts about his existence. He went away from his home for some time, but his wife knew where he proposed going to. The hounds I have spoken of might have been hare hounds, and the man whom I have called a huntsman might have been a groom. I don't know for certain where Mr. Thomas is living now, but I think he is at Bath. Re-examined by Sergeant Parry —At the time the defendant was paying his addresses to my sister we all knew her husband was de&d. My sister's husband's health was delicate, and that oocasioned him to take long voyages for its improvement. David Mansell—l formerly resided at Merthyr, and am a cabinet maker. I remember defendant one day asking me 1• give him a fancy table to make a present to Mrs. Harris's noice. I told him I could not, and he said he would prove the bitterest enemy I ever had. I afterwards gave him the table, and then he said he would prove the best friend I ever possessed. (Laughter.) I had something to do with furnishing the plaintiff's house. It was done in his father's time. I should think the furniture now was worth £3,000. Mr. James—Hounds and huntsman and all ? (Laughter.) Witness—Oh, no !

The bulk of the supply of English wheat here to-day was the refuse of Monday, but its general quality was tolerably good. For all kinds we experienced a slow inquiry, and in some instances inferior parcels were is per quarter lower than last week. The show of foreign wheat was seasonably good. Good and fine parcels were held at full quotations, but other qualities were much neglected. Floating cargoes of grain, off Falmouth, supported pre y ions . currencies. Fine barley was in steady request, at full prices ; but other kinds were a slow inquiry. Malt sold on former terms; but the demand was by no means active. The oat trade was rather heavy, but the value of both beans and peas was supported. Flour realised previous rates. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK: Wheat. Barley Malt. Oats. Flour.

MISS MARTINEAU ON WATERPROOF CLOTHING. —A new danger, however, has arisen with the invention of waterproof clothing. My readers may have found them selves tortured, or have seen some friend in agony, with an unaccountable tooth-ache or face-ache, coming on at the counting-house, or office, day after day, and may have traced it to wearing goloshes, which people wear now, as if they were meant to serve instead of shoes, whereas they are fit only for passing from place to place in wet weather. Take off the goloshes or (which is nearly the same thing) the patent leather shoes of the children in a school or a family, and you will find their stockings all damp. Keep on your waterproof cloak at a lecture, and you will find everything you wear moist and steaming before you go out into the air again. This wear of imyez vious clothing, other wise than in walking in the rain, is the cause of much ail ment in these early times of the use of gutta-percha. Men who wear pervious clothing at all times, except when in the rain, have really little to do in tb.e way of dress reform —Ono a lircek. COSTING OF TAB COLOSSAL STATUE OF MELYDELSSOHN. The colossal statue of M. Bartholdy Mendels sohn, modelled by Mr. Bacon, was yesterday cast in bronze, at the works of Messrs. liobinson and Cottam, Lower Belgrave-place, Pimlico, in the presence of many of the late composer's most eminent admirers, and a large body of ladies, amongst whom was the relict of the revered and lamented Sir John Franklin. The erection of a statue to the memory of Men delssohn, a name associated with the most charm ing of musical compo:,itions, originated with the Sacred Harmonic Society about seven years ago, the council of the society commencing the list by a donation of 50 guineas; but the idea had no sooner been promulgated than her most gracious Majesty transmitted a similar amount in furtherance of the object of the society. Amongst the contributors also are to be found the names of Lady Caroline Cavendish, Sir George Smart, Mr. Costa, Miss Alexander, Mr. Buxton, and others, who were all most anxious to perpetuate the " man as he lived." and to pay their heartfelt tribute to his transcen dent genius. Upwards of 400 guineas having been subscribed, the task of carrying the work into effect was entrusted to Mr. Bacon, an artist whose ability has long been acknowledged; and he immediately applied himself to what he considered to be a high privilege, to produce an exact likeness of the great original, calling to his aid portraits in the possession of Mr. Buxton and Miss Alexander, and assisted by the vivid recollections of Mendelssohn's most intimate friends. The fidelity of the likeness, as well as a close resemblance of the costume worn by the composer, were the theme of universal approbation, and while the model was in progress it was in spected by the Prince Consort, who was pleased to express the great satisfaction he had experienced in viewing so faithful a counterpart of the illus trious original. The attitude chosen by Mr. Bacon is one indicative of deep thought and attention, said to have been taken at the particular moment when Mendelssohn was listening to Miss Dolby's render ing. of his beautiful air, " Oh, rest in the Lord," during the performance of his oratorio of " Elijah" at Exeter-hall. Any deficiency which may occur in carrying out this work will be defrayed by the Sacred Harmonic Society. The method of casting the statue, which is up wards of eight feet in height, is peculiar to the establishment of Messrs. Robinson and Cottam ; for while it used to be the practice to cast large statues piecemeal, by an improved plan they are now moulded entire. The preparations consisted of a large iron case, bound and riveted together, and built on the floor, of such dimensions as to allow the reception of the full-length figure in a horizon tal position. Immense furnaces charged with metal were heated to a degree which it would be difficult to define, and at a given signal an opening was made, and truly and literally the liquid fire poured in one vast stream into a large iron cauldron placed for its reception, into which the contents of two other cauldrons from other furnaces were poured to form the required composition of metal. This immense cauldron of mixed metal, containing nearly two tons, was then raised by machinery, and when immediately over the mould it was tilted into a large receiver communicating with the mould beneath. A wheel was then turned, and imme diately there was a gurgling and gushing of the flaming liquid through 50 channels, conveying it simultaneously to every part of the horizontal figure beneath. It was somewhat curious to watch the skimming process, which went on while the metal was in a state of fusion, so that no unsightly excrescences might appear on the surface of the casting. After the lapse of a few minutes the work men commenced knocking away the framework and block mould, but it will be a day or two before the statue is completely cleared ; however, it is believed the work was most successfully performed. The quantity of metal used in the statute is about a ton and a-half. It will stand eight feet high, and will be elevated on a granite pedestal. With re spect to the site on which the statue will be placed, application has been made to her Majesty's Govern ment to allow it to be placed in the Mall in St. James's-park, but an answer has not been received. THE FRENCH EXPEDITION TO CHIN-1. The following are some details concerning the principal officers who are to hold commands in the French expedition to China : " General Montauban, the Commander-in-Chief, is an officer of the Army of Africa, who, before his appointment to the head of the second military division at ltouen, governed the province of Oran, for several years, with great ability. M. de Mon tauban was made general of division in 1855. General Jamin, who is to command the Ist brigade, was promoted to the rank of general on 3d January, 1852. He is an officer of great scientific acquire ments. In 1817 the Duke d'Aumale made him his aide-de-camp. Latterly he commanded the Ist sub division at Chalons-sur-Marne. General Collineau, of the promotion of August, 1857, also comes from the African army, in which he won every grade at the sword's point. He made the whole campaign in the Crimea, and commanded the Ist Zouaves on Bth September, 1855, at the assault of the Malakoff fort, which he was one of the first to enter. On that day, in spite of a rather serious wound, from which the blood poured over his face, Col. Collineau kept in the foremost rank, stimulating his men by words and gestures to the end of the fight. Col. Schmitz, acting as Major-General of the army to China, is a promising young officer of the staff. He is the son of Gen. Schmitz of the first Empire, and served his apprenticeship in Africa. During the unfortunate expedition which was overtaken by the snow, he, when acting as aide-de-camp to Gen. Levasseur, displayed extraordinary energy and resource. Afterwards he went through the Crimean cam paign, first attached to Gen. Forey, and then to the commander-in-chief. General Montauban will be in vested with most extensive powers, being authorised to appoint to all vacancies up to the rank of colonel, with the sole restriction that the nomination to the rank of colonel and sub-lieutenant will require the Etnperors's sanction. By the Emperor's orders all the expeditionary army will be paid in Mexican piastres, which alone are not liable to loss on exchange in China. The troops are to be provided with all the clothes necessary for the different climates, which in some places are nearly the same as the French soldiers have been used to in Africa. It was at first thought of sending horses from Africa for the artil lery, but the ultimate decision is that the 1,200 horses necessary for the five batteries shall be col lected at Shanghai from India and Manilla. The troops will lei've Brest and Toulon about the 15th December. The transports are already prepared, and only await the orders for embarkation. The officers of the staff will not leave till 15th January, as they go by the overland 'route, and yet will arrive _a month before the troops, during which interval they will have time to concert measures with the English staff and naval commanders. It is expected that the expedition will arrive at its destination in April, and begin the campaign at once. The Emperor has ordered that a half-monthly mail shall be established. between Canton and Toulon via Suez. If, as is expected, the English Government does the same, intelligence will arrive from the scat of war four times a month." CITY SETTERS CO2IfIIIISSIOW.

Dr. LETIIEBY, the Medical Officer of Health, reported of the state of 200 houses that had been inspected during the week, and he submitted a list of 29 places that required sanitary improve ment. He also sdknitted a list of places that required further proceedings on account of orders already issued but not complied with. The weekly returns of death are becoming more numerous with the setting in of the cold weather and the frequent fogs.

The chief increase in the proportion of deaths has been among the very old and the very young, and the former have been the subjects of bronchitis and the latter of pneumo nia. In fact the mortality from bronchitis during the week (17) is nearly three times as great as it was in the first week of the month (6). Of the zymotic class of affectim s, there were five deaths from scarlet fever, three from measles, two from con tinued fever, and one from smallpox. Diarrhwa and dysentery have ceased to be fatal, for they are new under the check of the cold weather. 76 births were registered during the week, and of these 33 were males and 43 females.
