THE SUN, PRINCESS'S THEATRE Mr. Wigan's benefit, last evening was deservedly patronised by a brilliant and overflowing attendance. We cannot bat again express regret at his approach ing departure from this establishment, where his talents were so conspiouous among a company never surpassed in the annals cf the modern theatre, for the excellence of its leading members, whether in comedy of every grade, tragedy, melodrama, ballet, or pantomime. Last night the Corsican B ro th ers was played for the fifty first time, after which Mr. Wigan performed in A Bengal Tiger, and in the Critic, wherein he personated the immortal Puff with ad mirable coolness and genuine comic humour. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. Last night the series of German plays commenced with the Eginont of Go3the. The plot of this tra gedy may b thus briefly sketched. The Netherlands, oppressed under the 3.'oke of the bigoted Philip 11. of Spain, are ripe for revolt. In some of the provinces outbreaks have already taken place, and monasteries and churches have been pillsged by the free-thinkers. Philip resolves to put down attempts at rebellicn, and maintain the Catholic faith with a hand of iron, and appoints the cruel and bloodthirsty Duke of Alba regent of Flanders, in the stead of Margaret of Parma. C oun t Egmont, the idol of the people, is suspected by Albs of secretly plotting against the King, in concert vci.4l the Prince of Orange. With machiavellian dissimulation he entices Egmont to the palace, arrests him, and, in despite of Egmont's ap peal to be judged by his compeers as a knight of the Golden Reece, he is condemned by Alba, and exe cuted. The Prince of Orange, who had in vain im plored his friend Egmont to fly from Brussels, escapes. In the selection of so historical a personage al Eg mont for his hero, it is to be regretted that Goethe has not adhered more strictly to historical veracity. Egmont is presented to us as a young unmarried man, with unlimited enjoyment of the pleasures of life, boundless self-reliance, a gift of drawing all men to himself, even the son of his implacable enemy Alba. His courage borders upon daring; he knows no dan ger, turns a deaf ear to the warnings of his friend, and manfully advocates the cause of the people even in Alba's presence. His personal courage is the foundation upon which the whole character of Eg mont rests. The design of Egmont is to show that the most firmly established institutions .cannot main- Lain themselves against a powerful and shrewdly cal culating despotism. The love of Egmont for Cliirchen is entirely distinct from the plot of the drama. It is a domestic tragedy in itself, subservient to the deve lopment of Egmont's character. 'Ciarchen a lovely child of nature, the daughter of an artizan ' lives with her aged mother. She is seen, courted, and wo n by Egmont. Clarchen is one of those wonderful deli neations of character of which Goethe was so great a master, and may teke place by the side of Mignon, his masterpiece. This gentle girl has one sole passion —her love for her seducer. This love is so pure— though so guilty—so beautiful in its devotion, so fond in its expression—that to say one harsh word to the fair girl in whose breast it dwells would need a heart of stone ; hence the character of L'rackenburg—an honest, bluff soldier, betrothed to her before Egmont crossed her path, and who, though his heart is break ing, remains true to her to the last, and hovers near her as a brother. On hearing of Egmont's arrest and sentence, Clarchen loses her reason in vein attempts to excite the people to deliver him, and poisons her self in despair. Egmont beholds her vision in a dream, and the curtain falls on the appearance of the soldiers who are to lead him to execution. Egmont was first represented at Weimar (then the Athens of Germany), in 1796 ; the original part of Egmont was taken by Iffland, the most celebrated actor of the day. Schiller helped Giiathe to put it on the stage. Last night the part was tak -n by Emil e Devrient, an actor who fully maintained the high re putation he enjoys in his own country. He personi fied admirably the noble bearing of Egmont, and in terpreted the true meaning of the author with a clas sical correctness and true delivery which elicited en thusiastic applause. His voice is manly and clear. At the end of the fourth act, when Alba demands his sword, his simple exclamation of the name of his friend embodied the whole story of warnings given and rejected. Frau Stolte's personification of Clarchen was i n ma ny respects an admirable piece of acting, especially in the scene where, with childish joy, she admires her lover, who, to please a whim of hers, appears dressed as a Spanish grandee, in her humble chamber—a scene which Sir Walter Scott has been accused of borrowing in "Kenilworth," with what justice we do not pretend to say. The corps is an efficient one. Vansen (Herr Birnstill), a roué clerk who urges the people to revolt, was well got up. On the whole, the performance was most successful, and the series of German dramas promises to be one of the greatest attrac tions of the season. The Queen and Prince Albert, the Duchess of Kent, and a very large number of the aristocracy, honoured the performance with their presence, and the house was full to over flowing. Before the drama a prologue, expressly written for the occasion by Dr. Kuenzel, was deli vered by one of the corps, dressed as the Germanic Muse, in a flowing robe of white and a wreath of oak leaves in her hair. The prologue alludes to the bonds of consanguinity by which England is allied to Germany, a passing compliment to the " Bard of Avon," and the influence of his works on the drama tic literature of Germany. The Muse then placed the crown upon a bust of Shakspere. A compliment is paid to the happy state of England in the midst of European convulsions, and to Prince Albert, as the originator of the Great Exhibition, as a step towards the unity of nations. After the prologue the Na tional Anthem was played, the whole house rising. The miss en scene was good—the music well adapted. MR. ALBERT SMITH'S 1110 NT BLANC. Last night was the hundredth representation of this entertainment at the Egyptian Hall, and Mr. Albert Smith gracefully signalised the occasion by presenting every lady present with a bouquet. The crowds of bold adventurers who nightly stroll through the Alps— encounter fanny travelling countrymen and country women, and who finally and in the most dauntless manner follow the lecturer up across the crevices, past the Grand Mulcts, and to the very tip-top of the monarch of mountains—continue unabated in eager ness or numbers; and as Mr. Albert Smith has sig nalised his first hundredth night by a bouquet, his second similar epoch will come handily in among the peaches. If even the " nights" go rolling on as un brokenly as the Arabian ones, we still trust in Mr. Smith's inventive faculties to find out new modes of celebrating his Heviras. .712 R S. ANDERSON'S CONCERT. Mrs. Anderson's concert is sure to be one of the most brilliant of the season, and yesterday it outdid itself. No reception could be more cordial than that which the bentficiaire received, when, after a profes sional silence of many months, she sat down to the pianoforte to accompany Mario in the "Adelaide." The programme included twenty-four pieces. The whole force—vocal, instrumental, and choral—of the Royal Italian Opera were in the field ; and in addi tion, Miss Louisa Pyne and Madlle. Clara Novella contributed their aid, while Miss Kate Loder end Miss Anderson Kirkham were the pianoforte soloists. Herr Joachim also performed a fantasia upon Scotch airs, which exhibited to the full his powers of strong and fervid bowing, and his rapid and distinct mani pulation. Miss Anderson Kirkham played Mendels shon'a concerto in G minor, and, with Miss Kate Loder, a very attractive duo, by Osborne, upon themes from the Huguenots. The lady in question, who is a niece of Mrs. Anderson, bids fair to bear well aloft the musical honours of the family.. Her style is light and delicate, and her touch remarkably nimble and neat. Over the key board, so far as rapid brilliance is concerned, she rulea with absolute sway. Miss Anderson Kirkham's ren dering of the sonata was marked by much apprecia anon7dt;:sl. tion and perfect executive facility, and in the Hugue nots duet both performers gave a brilliant reading. The execution of the poignard chorus was particu larly good. The single overture was that to Oberon. is p th r e pc m io o s n a t . h of B esiViiptshinfe Beethoven's t ' rhi The choral performances included the well-known Walpurgis Night chorus, " Disperse , disperse ;" the o o m w compositionmadrigal, great song, Mario gave, with Grisi, duet from Don Pasquale, and Grisi and Formes wer associated in the well-known " 0 Zerrer," from the Huguenots. Macille. Anna Zerr was encored in a German Lied, " Das Striiuss , le," M a d ame Clara No vello gave the " Bel raggio,' and Miss Pyne a n u s, from Coppola. Madame Castellan sang the favourite bravura, " 0 luce," from the Linda, and, with Ron coni, the as well-known " Quanto . an . rore," f r , m L'Etisir. A duet by Plata . and Bottesini, , and seve ral n i tce,, closed the principal and concerted pieces by M. Caueymard, features of the concert.

I pass a.window in..the dusk of the evening. A broad stream of--light flows across the darkening street, - and shines against the opposite wall. The blaze Italiea in my eyes, and, but for an instant, un consciously I taro aside to meet it. I catch but a glimpse of the interior of a home, but it is enough. Through a screen ihf green leaves, I see a group of merry faces by the fire, the cheerful blaze making "a sunshine in the shady place." The light flashes upon the features of a beautiful girl, with a laughing child upon her knee; a little ruddy fellow is crouched at her feet, and a cheerful-looking old dame, in specta cles, busy at her knitting, from which for a moment she looks up to watch the gambols of the youngsters, occupies the farther side of the hearth. There is another figure, that of a man, with his back toward me, on the opposite aide doubtless the fire brightens his face, too, but the faces of the women and the children ere enough. What is a cheerful fireside with out tham ? they are the precious jewels which glitter and shine around the happy hearths, and make light and beauty there even in the saddest hours. Like white flowers in the dusk, they cheer and hallow it— they speak of the thousand hopes and joys which cluster about a home—they are the emblems of vir tue, cheerfulness, beauty, and divine comfort. Burke has said that "to love the little platoon we belong to in 'sbciety, is the germ of all public affec tions." Yes, unless the feces shine by the fire, they will shine nowhere else. If we feel not warmed by the fire which glows about the hearthstone—we mean the affection and love which are its true moral glow— how can we feel affection end sympathy for those who compass us about in ever-widening circles in the outer world ? All genial warmth emanates from the home; it is there the affections are first moved, and, there the heart is first attuned to human sympathy. You see that-child laughing in the full glow of the firelight—it is drinking in impressions which will last its life out. The . little child is formed by love, its character is moulded:by love, its future is determined by love— " Ah! how skilful grows the hand That obeyeth Love's command. Ittis the heart, and not the brain, That to the highest loth attain; And he who tolloweth Love's behest, Par exceedeth all the rest." Have you seen the—child's face by the fire, half concealed in his mother's lap, while, knelt there, be whispered out the faint accents of prayer which she had first taught him, and which he never after for gets ? She it was who first told him of God and Heaven, and by her daily example inspired him with love of holiness. And even though the child, when grown up into manhood, has gone astray, and the chain of love which bound him to the Home has been snapped, the links still drag at his heels, and he is never happy until they are bound together again. The bright fire is the eye of the home; it bespeaks cheerfulness, peace, cleanliness, comfort. About it the small sweet courtesies of life—in which there is no parade nor affectation, which manifest themselves in kind words and affectionate looks, — cluster naturally and gracefully. The seeds of love are fostered by its genial warmth, and the faces by the fire look.bright through affection and lively inter course. The 'cheerful fire indicates domesticity, love of home, and humanity. Even though the circle be a small one, there are larger circles beyond ; and still it is the centre of a congeries of rays which extend beyond the home, and warm the world without, even to far outer circles. The root is hid in the home, but the branches extend into the glad daylight of society and public life. Faces by the Fire I how many pictures spring to view at the words ; how the poets of England have revelled around the fireside and the home—the great national temple of our race! Longfellow has written his delicious poems of " The Fireside." You remem ber his " Fire of-Drift-wood :" "We sat and talked until the night, Descending, filled the little room; Our faces laded from the sight, Our voices only broke the gloom. " Oft died the words upon our lips, As suddenly, frOm out the fire Built of the wreck of stranded ships, The flames would leap, and then expire. , 4 0 flames that glowed! 0 hearts that yearned! They were, iniieed, too much akin I The drift-wood fire without that burned, — Th e t houghts that burned and glowed within." And there are his lines on. the " Twilight" by the Fireside, certainly the most- luxurious point of time which a fireside can present—the time when old re collections are brought forth, and old stories told, and old poetry talked of, and old songs chanted,—music at such a time opening the windows of the soul, and letting heaven peep in. A t such a time the feeling of snugness is delicious ; perhaps the wind blows with out, but all is warmth and comfort within:— " Fast by an ingle, bleezing finely, Wi' reaming swats, that drank divinely; The storm without might rair and rustle— Tam didna mind the storm a whistle." Or, more temperate than Burns in his "Tam O'Shanter," there is our genuine Home Poet, Cowper, who thus introduces one of his finest poems : " Now stir the fire, and close the shutters fast, Let fall the curtains, wheel the sofa round; And 'while the bubbling and loud-hissing urn Throws up a steamy cohlmn , a nd the cups, That cheer but not inebriate , wait on each, So let us welcome peaceful evening in." Even the Italian poets, whose skies are in a glow, have been inspired by the Home r Fire, and felt that human faces looked the brighter by its light. Alfieri makes a commodious fireplace the climax of his wishes with regard to lodging; and old Horace tempts his friends to visit him by the promise of a neat room and a sparkling fi re :.-- " Dissolve frigus, ligna super food Large reponens." Or, as Dryden translates it : " With well-heaped logs dissolve the cold, Pt And feed the genial hearth w ith fires. Then there. i s th e exquisite little cabinet picture, painted by Milton, a mas ter of descriptio n, and a true lover of home and home joys:— "Or, if the air will not permit, Some still, removed place will fit, Where glowing embers through the room Teach light to counterfeit a gloom; Far from all resort of mirth, Save the cricket on the hearth, Or the bellman's drowsy charm To bless the doors from nightly harm." Of course, as there are children, about a family fireside, there will be lively prattle, mirth, and laughter, which comes of freedom. In the glad fire light the young heart rejoices; for the time, merri ment suffices. Pl easantry i n the h ome is like the flowers which often fl oa t aroun d t h e ma rgin of deep streams, beautifyin g th e so l emn waters o f life. The heart will be fre e an d w ill dance nowhere if not in the home. Young nature is ever h a ppy. "The young, they laugh: laughs not the sky? The winds, they laugh us they pass by; The sun, he laughs, and Nature's face Beams with a joyous, laughing grace. Yes, laughing ever she renews The verdant fields her morning dews." " Yes," exclaims Theophilus Trine!, " we Will sing, and we will laugh, and rejoice in the lily-work ; but we will also be wise of heart' concerning the pillars' of the world—the great truths of conscience, the pril and the worth of free beings, the saving and perfecting love —by which truths alone can our well being, and the well-being of our race, be secured." Speaking of the prattle of children about the fire side, reminds us of a touching passage in the life of Dr. Kitto, whom en accident in early life deprived of the faculty of hearing, wherein he says, in lan guage of deep pathos, " I never heard the voices of any of my children." The reader, of course, knows this • but the fact, as stated in plain words, is almost shocking. Is there anything on earth so engaging to a parent as to catch the first glimpse of his infant's tongue ? or so interesting as to listen to its dear prat tle, and trace its gradual mastery of speech ? If there be any one thing,';arising out of my condition, which more than another fills my heart with grief, it is this ; it is to see their blessed lips in motion, and to hear them not ; and to witness others moved to smiles and kisses by the sweet peculiarities of infantile speech which are incommunicable to me, and which pass by me like the idle wind." have been taken away !

LONDON, THURSDAy EVENING, PERPETUAL INVESTMENT, LAND, AND BUILDING SOCIETY. The first annual general meeting of the share holders of this flourishing society was held last night at R New Brid ge - s t ree t ; M r . J o hn Gove a r d , le ol a Southwark, chairman of the board of di rectors, in the chair. The meeting was numerously and respectably attended, and the proceedings of the evening appeared to afford great satisfaction to the shareholders. The advertisement convening the meeting having been read, The CHAIRMAN proceeded to make a few prelimi nary remarks. Building societies, he ,said, had in troduced a new and improved mode of investing capital for the middle and humbler classes of the community. In former times the mode of preparing money for investment prevailing amongst those classes was simply that of collecting it together and boarding it up until it reached a sufficient amount to be laid out either in mortgage security, the purchese of land or houses, or in the public funds, and in the mean while the money . so collecting remained idle and un produoive.—(liear, hear.) But, even when it was collected, there were great obstacles in the way of its investment, such as the charges of auctioneers, agents, or attorneys; while if a party borrowed money upon the security of any little house property be might happen to possess, the probability was ttlat in the event of a foreclosure, which often resulted in former days from the absence of a few pounds to make up the mortgage money, the poor mortgagee had his estate sold in tde fiance of hinDelf and th e proceeds swallowed up by the charges and expe nses i ncident to discharging the mortgage.—(Hear, hear). Now the Perpetual In vestment, Land, and Building Society would obviate all that. It had been formed as the result of a long experience, the promoters and directors having been for many years connected with similar institutions, and they had taken ,care that it should be free from those manifold difficulties and objections which had characterised the earlier societies of this nature. — (Hear, hear.) The principal objection to the old societies was not only the complicity of their rules and regulations, but their manif es t uncertainty in re lation to the ultimate end to be obtained, or the mode and manner of getting out of thera.--(Hear, hear.) The shareholder, in fact, never knew exactly how he Amid, or where or when his liabilities would send ; but in this institution there was no such uncertainty, for everything was defined, and the interest of 'both the in vester and the borrower was amply secured.— (Hear, hear.) If a man wanted to invest his, money with safety he could do so here from 5/. upwa7rds, and he would always know what he was about and how he stood, while, on the other hand, if a member wanted to borrow, say 5001., he would obta tin the loan upon terms that no one could possibly Too muc h m eo i n su ld nder n s n ta t nd. b — e (Hear, saidin hear.)favnur of such an institution as this. People frequently spoke of the good old times, but in those good old times the natechanie and the small shopkeeper enjoyed no society of this kind, and he was therefore not sorry t o find that the public were keenly alive to the advantages which this and similar societies conferred upon them.__ (Hear, hear.) As a proof of this, he need only mention that within the last twelve months this society had received in its deposit department numerous sums varying from Si. to 7001. for investment at 4 per cent. in terest; and he was satisfied that the indu.s triously disposed part of the community c ou ld accumulate f w o e r a i l t th in an tb d e p g ro o p id er d ty ist a r t iet h s o n tn i e oa w lif it n h r o n u ia t goingnr Australia. to seek —(Hear, hear.) A man with a clear head, a e t„d y determination, and temperate habits, found no diffi culty in making his way in this country ; an d i t was gratifying to know that the wealthier classes —as indeed did the public generally—appreciated the value of all institutions that, like this, were established" to advance the interests of such men.—(Hear, b ear .) It now only remained for him to call upon the secre tary to read the report. The report ,was as follows : The nirectors have much pleasure in reporting the business done during the first twelve months. " The total issue of shares since the formation of th e society to April 30, 1852, was 1,176. " In the dep os i t d epartment numer ous sums hav e b een received, varyi ng f rom 5 / . to 7001., upon which 4 per cent. per ann um i nterest has b een p a id, p rov i ng, that while by the emp l oyment of t h e mone y, thi s f eature of the scciety's b us i nees forms a source of considerable profit to the unadvanced shareholders, it also offers to the depositor a covenient and satisfactory mode of in vestment. " The advances made to members upon the security of property mortgaged to the society amount to 11,1361. 10s. " 220 agents have been appointed in different parts of the kingdom, who, it is hoped, will bring a large increase of business to the society. " The directors earnestly invite the co-operation of the members in making known the advantages of the Society, and increasing the number of shareholders. " In conclusion the directors refer with satisfaction to the stability of the institution, the correctness of the principles upon which it is founded, and the success that has attended its operations. The accounts were also read. Mr. J. 'WILLS, churchwarden of St. Mary's, New ingtou, moved the adoption of th e report, which he considered highly satisfactory, The management had adnowfeiathrs whatever for its ultimate mbeen re membered economical bthis institutionan e n energetic, ec t 043. the advantages of a build ing the princi success.—(Hear, hear.)

Mr. W. H. MILLAR seconded the motion, and de clared his belief that the founder of the institution had conferred a national benefit upon the country. The motion was then put and carried unanimously, after which the retiring directors were re-elected for the ensuing year. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting, which was exceedingly. unanimous through out, terminated. pmleeasureal mwohlinghethit" RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS. k lSlay L OND ON AND NOATD-WESTERN lAr P asse ngers, parcels, ma ils , &c,e. 30 :.. rAvAr. —Return of Cattle erfocrhatnhdeisweee ending .

EDWARD CHARLES HERB hevrERT. last —Thi s gentleman died at th e s e at of h is nep, the Earl of Carnarvon , H i g hden House, Hants, on Sunday . He was in his fiftieth year, and was the youngest son of Henry George, second Earl. He married June, 1833, Eliza beth, daughter of J.

It appears that the doors of the cells which open into the corridorave double the l oc ks, and every precautio n is taken at nig litho turn bolts twice. Oa the night previous to Wright's escape, the officer on duty turned the key once, and attempted to give it the second turn, but finding it would not move, heconcluded that some officer had been beforo blue and turned it once, and that he himself had given it the additional turn. The next morning, when the prisoner was missed from his cell, it was ascertained that he had prevented the second turn of the lock bolt by inserting one of the plates con taining the number of cells, which each prisoner has in his possession on being locked up. By this means he was enabled to force back the bolt, so as to let himself His next. difficulty was to getr,out of the prison, and this he effected through a window in the corridor which opens upon the roof made his rug into a rope, of the chapel. Having by cuttin , . it into pieces and tying a loop at. the end of it, he fixed it to a hook or nail, and thence let himself down into the yard Here it D e but a great obstacle to his flight still pre:ented itself in th ; lofty exterior wall at the back of the building. s , but ingenuity was exceedingly put to the test, t a- " Pears, his having met with a piece of lead piping, he managed to bend it into a zigzag shape so as to form a series of steps, and with the aid of h is rope and blanket he scaled the Wall and got clear off.--I3ath Chronicle.

F LONDON DURIIVG THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The return for the week th at ended last Saturday is a proof of considerable improvement in the public health. The deaths registered in the second week of May were 1,070, in the following they declined to 943, and last week 'they fell to 683. In the ten weeks correspondin to last week of the years 1342-51 t h e average was 877 g which, if raised in proportion to th e i ncrease of popula tion, will be 965. The mortality of last week is there fore less than the calculated amount by 82. In comparing the results of the last two weeks it will be seen that there is a decrease in zyixiotio disease s f rom 229 in the preceding return to 205 in tho present, in diseases of the respiratory organs from 131 to 115, in tubercular diseases (including phthisis), from 189 to 177, in diseases of the nervous system from 120 to 104, and in those of the digestive organs from 59 to 50. Taking particular heads in the zymotic class, the cases in which hooping.congh was fatal declined from 42 in the previous week to 31 in the lest, those of croup from 10 to 4, of typhus, &e., 41 to 31. On the other hand, the mortality caused by small-pox, measles, scarlatina, diarrLeci, and erysipelas, does not vary, or only to a trifling extent, in the two returns. No death from cholera was registered in London since the weer that ended 17th April till last week, when, as appears from the fcllowing statement of par ticulars, two persons died of it:— On 22d May, at 53, Little Sutton-street, the daughter of a millwright, aged 3 months, " cholera infantum (5 days)." On 26th May, at 33, Adelphi-terrace, Victoria- park, the widow of a watchmaker, aged 72 years, died of ‘• cholera (28 hours), exhaustion." Mr. Howard, the registrar, states that the situation is very healthy and the drainage good. Last week small-pox destroyed 45 lives, those of 37 children under 15 years of age and 8 persons at that age and up e ards. In four cases it is reported that vaccina tion had been previously performed, the sees of which were 16, 29,32, and 50 years. D ur i ng the twenty-two weeks of the present year that have now elapsed the aver age weekly number of victims of this disease was in January 34, in February 28, in March 26, in April 34, and in May 39. Hencel it appears that this complaint has latterly evinced a disposition to increase. Five deaths occurred in the Small-pox Hospital; of these the following are the particulars:— On 21st May a boy, aged 11 years, from Princes-place, Notting-hill, died of " small-pox, confluent, unmodified (8 days)." Said to have been vaccinated in infancy at Kensington; no cicatrix. On 24th May, a grocer, aged 18 years, from Shuredlich, " small-pox, confluent, unprotected (15 days)." On 24th May, a girl, aged 5 years, from Vine-yard, Tooley-street, "small -pox, confluent, unprotected (10 days)." On 25th May, a female servant, aged 16 years, from Throgmorton-street, "small-pox, confluent, unmodified (9 days)." Vaccinated when 4 years old at Castle Headinghani, Essex; one imperfect cicatrix. Oa 26th May a porter, aged 29 years, from Friday street, City, " small-pox, confluent, hemorrhagic, un modified (10 days)." Vaccinated in infancy at Ciren cester; one smooth imperfect cicatrix. At 38, Worship-street, Norton Folgate, on 27th May, the son of a carman, aged 7 years, died of " variola, petechia (4 days); no evidence whether vaccinated or not." The medical attendant states that " bad drain age and ventilation, together with the state of privy and the contiguity of a slaughter-house, influenced the type of the disease." In the sub-district of St. John, Mary lebone, at 54, Great Carlisle-street, on 27th May, the son of a painter, aged one year, died of " small-pox; not vaccinated." According to the statement of the medical 'attendant, " five other children in the same family are suffering from the disease; only one, namely the eldest, aged 15 years, has been vaccinated, the mother having an objection to the operation. Three children in a room above, belonging to another family, are supposed to be sickening from the same disease." In the sub-district of Trinity, Newington, at 58, St. An drew's-road, on 26th May, the wife of a carpenter, aged 32 years, died of "confluent small-pox (10 days); vac cinated many years ago; three distinct cicatrices." In the sub-district of Camden-town, at 21, Weston street, on 24th May, the son of a batter, aged 12 years, died of scarlatina (5 days)." Mr. Hell mentions that "there are two slaughter-houses in the street, one of which and a cowshed are near the house. It is a crowded neighbourhood. At 23, Crown-court, Pall-naall, on 26th May, the daughter of a victualler, aged 3 years, died of " fever." Most of the houses in this court (says Mr. Roberts) have , no back windows, and they are consequently ill-venti lated. The house now mentioned has a skylight on the top. At 15, Collingwood-street, in the sub-district of Hackney-road, a drover, aged 56 years, died of " asthma (2 mouths), dropsy (2 months)". This end of the street is described by Mr. Murray as low, damp, and totally undrained." On 28th May a grocer, aged 48 years, died of " diabetes (duration unknown), constipation and vo miting (2 days)." He was only two days under medical treatment. The medical attendant states that the con stipation and vomiting succeeded after the patient had taken half a pint of whiskey as a remedy for the diabetes. The son and daughter of a painter, at 42, Molyneaux-street, Marylebone, aged respectively 1 year and 7 years, died of pertussis within five hours of each other.

THE ROYAL HIBERNIAN MINING COM PANY.-OPENING OF THE FIRST MINE. CASTLEMAINE, MAY 31.—The ceremony of opening the company's first mine took place to-day, and was en; lebrated by a grand fete champitre. Th e nobility, gentry, Roman Catholic clergy, and ether persons 4:lf in fluence in the neighbourhood were invited tor some days previously, and attended in large numbers. As the most sanguine hopes are entertained that the company's operations will prove successful in developing the mineral resources of the county of Kerry, and effect a social change of no ordinary character in the dis trict, a few particulars respecting the locale, and other circumstances, can scarcely fail to be inte resting to readers on both sides of the Channel, end we subjoin them before describing the proceedings of this day. The mine is situated near the town of Castlemaine, which is distant about ten miles from the large and flourishing town of Tralee, and quite close to the river, which takes its rise a little beyond Castleisland to the west of that town, and flows westerly, till it empties itself into the sea at the Bay of Dingle. The river is navigable for vessels of 200 tons. The Killarney Junc tion of the Great Southern and Western Railway passea within a few miles of the miee, aud, as the ground presents no engineering difficulties, might he easily connee'ed with it. The soil resembles the, of Fiintshire end Denbighsh , re, and the different analyses of the one already raised give an average result of 77 per cent. of lead and 19 cz. of silver per ton. The county is extremely quiet, and the people are industrious. The most favourable sentiments towards the company prevail in the neighbourhood among all classes, and the directors have been received with the greatest enthu siasm by the people, without exception. In addition to the lead, capper ere has been found of a quality which justifies the expectation that that mineral exists to a large extent in the mine. It was under these favourable anspices that the mine was formally opened to-day, in the presence of one of the most numerous assemblages that have been witnessed for years in the county, and which comprised the landed and commercial interests, sunk nona r t c r a o n w and the urban and rural population for miles around the who might have neighbourhood, as well as the clergy of all denomina e b h u il t ls w , b an a d re w b h o°tseawdeare that s There were e de a eb r d l e y e nbhyo seenuar i theaprgo pouring ground rninu gm b ine number of streams theat'em the s ppeasantry, ao s sw hif t t trhy i occurred, and the utmost good odduring humourthe day only a few of the constabulary present, any broach of the peace the people.

Amongst the gentry of the neighb our h ood we ob served Sir W. Godfrey, Bart.; Mr. Maurice O'Conn e ll M.P. ; Mr. M'Gilcuddy, of the Ro c k s; W. Denny , Esq. &c. The directors haying ascended the platform erected on the ground, Mr. H. Gistsur read letters from Lord Headly, pro prietor of the soil, and other noblemen sad gentlemen, regretting their inability to attend; bat expressing in cordial terms their entire approval of the appearance of the company in their district, and predicting considera ble social benefit for their spirited enterprise. He then stated that he and his brother directors, in un dertaking the present speculation, were aatisfied that they were making a profitable investment of their ca pital, and that they would also confer vast social benefits on the locality. They came to the country with the most friendly feelings towards the people, in whom they placed confidence, the result of personal knowledge of their conduct in their employment at the other side of the Channel, as well as of the manner in which they behaved themselves in Ireland when they had the in centive of regular and remunerative labour. The fa vourable impression which they had formed of the mine was increased by their inspection of it since their arrival, and the mariner in which the labour had been performed justified them in their estimate of the indus trial qualifications of the people. They did not propose limiting their undertaking to this mine, but were de termined, if it could be done with profit, to extend their operations not only in that county, but to other parts of Ireland. According to arrangement the mine was then chris tened the Headly Mine, by Miss Godfrey, daughter of Sir W. Godfrey. Addresses were subseqUently delivered by the Chair man, Mr. Lea, and Mr. Rooney, which were warmly ap plauded. About 1,500 ladies and gentlemen partook of a defamer prepared on the ground, and the poor, to the number of some thousand), were regaled with large quantities of suitable fare, provided for the occasion by the directors. The day was terminated in a most satisfactory man ner, and we do not exaggerate in stating that the general feeling was one of unqualified approval of the company, and a firm conviction of its success, not only as a remunerative undertaking, but as an efficient agent in ameliorating the condition of the country. A PRECOCIOUS CRIMINAL. The Court of Assize of the Ileute-S;ane tried, a few days ago, a noted bandit, named Pingand, whose exploits have more than once been noticed in this journal, on the charge of robbery and assassination. lie is only 23 years of age, and is good-looking. At the age of 11 he ran away from home, and after wandering about the country for some time, was taken back by the gendarmerie. He subsequently, however, again ran away, and became a vagabond. At the age of 17 he was condemned, by the Correctional Tribunal of Belfort, to imprison ment for robbery; and a little later he was con demned, by the tribunal of Baume-les-Dames, to two years' imprisonment, for the same offence. He was sent to the central gaol of Clairvaux, and on the ex ' piration of his imprisonment was ordered to join the 2d Regiment of Light Infantry, for which he had been drawn; but instead of that he returned home- The gendarmerie were ordered to arrest him. He thereupon began to scour the country, armed to on the the teeth, committed numerous robberies, and loudly threatened to kill the gendarmes who should be sent to arrest him. Among the crimes specially , proved against him were a robbery of dif ferent articles in a farm-house at Nivry-le-Bourg on with a the 15th of April, 1851; the breaking into a house and robbery of various things at Vergerone, 22d of July; two robberies, on the 30th of July, a t St. Ferjeux; and a robbery in a farm-house at Heti, court. In addition it was proved that on the 10th of No vember, while engaged in thrash p i r n o g m c is o e r d n , and went to named Francois at Faymont, he suddmly knocked miller down Francois with his flai , l, a a a n c d , t then, r isseo i 11 , the hair, pulled out a knife and declared he g laira b y would kill him if he would not consent to gi ve hi shoes, two shirts, some stockings a n d al a p a ir of money.

The poor man, whose name was Dauphin, staggered, but did no t fall, The wounded gendarme went to a and said to his comrade, " I am not dead yet and demanded assistance ; but such was the inspired in the neighbourhood that the people refused to receive him. The other gen h willt eorursoearsrsain:dgaYOnu dame tired at the bandit, but without effect, and t h e latter escaped. The wounds of Dauphin were though not mortal. The next day p ve i r a y g a s n e d rio e u n s tered a farmhouse at Melisey, and, in sp it e of the resistance of the farmer's wife, stole a gun. On the ath of March two gendarmes of Belfort met him near Hericourt. They did not know hi m , and asked him for his passport. "I am Pin gaud," said he, " and the first who approaches me shall die." At the same moment he raised his musket.
