EXTRAORDINARY THERMINATION OF A STAG On Saturday the members of the Ward Hunt re met thin unususl force at Clonee, county Meath, whee sporting master of the hounds, punctual to the hoar of " meet," brought up his splendid pack at ono o'clock precisely. After the customary greetings of those who arrived from the different points of the compass had bean hastily performed, a well-appointed field, number ing some forty " scarlets," and nearly as many " blacks," started from the little village, and bent their course to wards The Maine. Between half-past one and two the cart was unlocked, on the rising ground at the back of the farmhouse, near the Cross, and cutstepped as mag nificent a buck as was ever uncarted. On first treading the soil the noble animal snorted and trotted round the cart, in which he had been previously confined, viewing its several parts with the precision of an engineer en gaged in reconno iterin g a fort. The horsemen who were commissioned to superintend the process were next scrutinised, and apparently having concluded that in neither was there . c use for hope or fear, he star ted off, and having gained the centre of the field, stood to take a survey of the country round. Daring all this time every one p . resent was motionless, at his course should be influenced only by his own will. In a very few seconds his resolution was blot:, and off he bounded over a baauliful grass country in the direction of the •Ashboutne-road, in a style thac ,629 EVENING, HEALTHOF LONDON DURLVG THE WEEK. gave ample promise of a hard day.

As the hounds creased the high lands to the west of Finglas, a winnowing-sheet would have covered the entire pack. Here the stag passed through some demesnes, crossed the Tolka river, made direct for Dublin, passed along the Circular-road, distanced her pursuers, and finally took shelter in the famed loca lity of " Stoneybatter," thus strangely terminating one of the most severe, though not of the longest, runs of the season, and, as we submit, entitling the Ward Hunt to arbitrate between the belligerent inhabitants as to 1 what name Stoneybatter shall henceforth enjoy. ...

Sir,—Herewith I enclose a copy of our Shipping Report for this week, and beg leave particularly to call your attention to the inert using advantage taken of this port as a harbour of ref, age by vessels damaged or disabled, by loss of anchors or spars, from either proceeding on their voyage or xemaining in the road stead. The completion of the out er' works and entrance of our harbour, and the deepening of the water space inside have afforded so safe end easy an access at all times of tide, that a very large and increasing number of vessels now avail themselves of it as a place of security and shelter from contrary gates, or as a safe retreat when in distress. Already the number of yeas els seeking refuge here is considerably beyond the accommodation we are capable of affording without materially interrupting the trade and commerce of the port, and this has now become a subject of very grave consideration, for as the place becomes better known, and the ease and facility of access better understood, and last, although not least, the low rate of dries—our only charge for vessels being 2d. per ton on the registered tonnage of the vessel—it will follow, as a matter of course, that the port will be more frequented, and additional ac commodation must be provided. We have, at this moment, 25.0 sail of vessels in the inner harbour, the greater pan of which have put in for refuge ; and mcre than 5C► sail have lost anchors and cables, or met with other loss or damage. The harbour is so crowded that it is impossible to get vessels arriving with cargoes up to the wharves to discharge; and two large timber-laden vessels had to remain sever4l days in the outer basin, thereby in curring demurrage on the importers ; and, in addi tion to this, 20 sail now at anchor in the roads wish to put in, but for which we have no space, and the tide flag has been struck to den ote the same. When we consider that there is no part of the coast of Great Britain where a haxbour of refuge is so much required as at this place—that a greater num ber of vessels pass the East coast of England than any place in the world—that the entrance of our harbour is in the midst of one of the best and most frequented anchorages on the coast—that many ves sels which have found a shelter here (even during the past week) must inevitably have been lost had there been no harbour here, and that, even now, we have not room to accommodate the number of vessels wish ing to avail themselves of its shelter, it becomes, as I have before observed, a subject of very serious con aideration. Take, as an example, the experience of the pas week. On Friday, the 21st, it was estimated that no fewer than 700 sail of vessels -were anchored, wind bound, in the reeds between Lowestoft and Yar mouth; a light air in the morning from the S.W. tempted the greater part of t'nes vessels anchored in the South Roads to get under weigh and proceed to the northward ; about 30 sail also left this harbour for the same purpose ; not one of these had cleared Yarmouth Roads before the wind came round again to the north, and at night it cc me on to blow a furious gale from the N.N.E ; the consequences may be easily imagined, and are truly stated in the Yarmouth re port annexed. Two vessels foundered at their anchors, and several were dismasted, be sides a greater number parted or slipped from their anchors. The following morning no less than 50 sail of ves sels, many of large tonnage, and the greater part with some loss or damage, put into this harbour, several with loss of masts or spats, and most with loss of one or both anchors. The following night the wind shifted and blew a gale from the S Unoler these circumstances, what chance would most of these vessels have had could they not have got into a harbour here ; light in ballast, crippled and disabled on a lee-shore, without anchors and cables ? Why, sir, the greater part must have been driven on shore and? wrecked. The harbour being thus invaluably necessary to the saving of lives and property, it. follows, as a natural reply, that all that is required is to increase the space and accommodation inside, in order to render its use fulness more complete; and that this can be done at no very great outlay, I have already explained. But, however desirable such an increase undoubtedly is, it is my duty to explain, that to make harbour space for accommodating vessels for ret uge only at the present small dues, would net repay the outlay ; nor can it be expected that a larger aura than 2d. per ton can or would be paid by vessels for this purpose. But there are cases, such as that of the Latona, and several others now in the harbour, where the vessels have been saved from total wreck by being brought in here, when 2d. per ton is quite inadequate to the value of the refuge afforded. It becomes, therefore, a public question, i n which the country is interested , and I beg to urge upon your serious con sideration to take such steps as shall appear best suited 0 meet the difficulty in question. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, (Signed) W. S. Am:maws, Harbour Master. S. M. veto, Esq., M.P. (Extract from the Shipping Report in the Norwich Mercury of the 29th of November, 1851.) The following is an authorised statement of the ships, w ith their damage, which have ent e r e d the Harbour of Lowestoft for safety, or been brought in, during the last three weeks. These speak more than words the value of that port as a harbour of refuge. Among them will be seen a vessel drawing 20 feet of water : The Scotia, Stevens, from Stettin for Rotterdam, with damage. The Oberon, Gohibandt, from Liverpool for Dantzic, with loss of canvass, &c. The Ardincaple barque, Leighton, from Sunderland for Amsterdam, leaky. The Sythe, Briggs, from Sunderland for London, as sisted e oil p " r the ot h erHolmoGales,satid leaky , from London on for Shields, with loss of main-boom, &e. , and for ballast. The Jane and Maria, Kennedy, from London for New castle, with loss of anchor, and windlass damaged. The Lester, Emery, from London fur Seaham, with loss of anchors.

The Kreuz Zeitung states that Bavaria has made a distinct declaration to the Prussian Government, that it intends to remain in the Zollverein, having full confidence in the commercial policy Prussia has pur sued in. behalf of that body. The fact that Bavaria has sent an Envoy . to the Commercial Conference at Vienna loses any importance that might have been before attached to it. The last sittieg of the Diet of Frankfort, at which the different States were to have given their deci sion on the scheme of a commercial union lately dis cussed in the Diet under the influence of Austria, has produced no result. Prussia has carried with her the states of the north against it, and so many others have made their support conditional on great modifications being made in the plan, that a union on the basis proposed is impossible. Bavaria, Wurtem burg, and Saxony, the political allies of Austria, are among the states who thus impose conditions. The exact nature of them has not been declared, but it is rumoured that the prospect of receiving a large por tion of their revenue in Austrian paper currency is not relished by these powers. There are some things in which calculation must take the place of sentiment and feeling, and the safety of the public revenue is one of them. TURKEY.

Although money cannot be said to be in any great demand, Government and other securities still show a downward tendency, chitily, we imagine, in consequence of the unsettled state of matters in the Bazaar, where considerable apprehension and distrust prevail regard ing the Msrwarrie Shroffi. There is little to be said on the general state of the market during the last fortnight. Large arrivals of critton piece goods and yarn have taken place. The sales, we are happy to say, have been correspondingly large, prices haviug on the whole been tolerably well supported. Money is gradually coming into more de mand. Istrowra.

Norton and communicated to him the death, at Guy's Hos pital, on the day before, of the notorious impostor, Jane Farr. It will be recollected that this most art ful of a numerous class of ingenious impostors had been brought to this court, about six weeks ago, and underwent several examinations with "Blind Johnny," a fellow who lived with her, and a woman named Thomas, on charges of obtaining vast sums of money by false representations. The fellow Johnny, who assumed the names of various clergymen, was ultimately committed to prison for three months, un der the Vagrant Act ; Thomas had been tried, con • victed, and sentenced to twelve months' imprison ment; and Farr, when under remand, and while at Horsemonger-lane Gaol, burst a bloodvessel, and was in so weak a state as not to be able to attend at the court to have the depositions in the various charges against her completed. The ingenious plan hit upon by this prisoner to dupe her victims is one of the most successful on re cord—so successful, indeed, that within a short time she defrauded four persons out of 701. Her mode of proceeding was this :—She took a lodgingat the house of some decent person in the immediate residence of some respectable land surveyor, and after a few-days, and in a dress suitable to the character, she used to call on her intended victim, and placing before him a sheet of foo'seap, on which was written in a good round hand what purported to be an extract from the will of her " uncle," requested the gentleman's kind interference in her behalf, and more particularly his advice with respect to four acres of freehold land at " Folly-close," near Birmingham. Her manner was so plausible that she generally succeeded in en listing the attention of the party, and she then repre sented that her solicitor at Birmingham had advised her to dispose of the land at a price she named, but her dupe, on being informed that it paid her a certain sum as it was, and that this was considerably more than the interest of the money would amount to, strongly advised that things should remain as they were. A request was then made that the gentleman would do her the favour of writing to her attorney at Birmingham to say that she bad determined on not selling the property, and also to know how much was then owing on account of the rent. This request was also generally complied with, and an answer was always duly received by post from the "attorney," approving of the de termination, as, owing to sonic improvement about to take place, the property must ultimately in crease in value, that a balance of 251. was then due, and that this would be regularly forwarded in a few days in Post-office orders. The letter generally concluded by stating that the writer had just re ceived intelligence that Miss Hail's (the name the prisoner assumed) aunt was in a very dangerous state, and that, therefore, if she wished to see her alive she must not lose a moment in proceeding to Carlisle, her place of residence. This aunt, it should be stated, was a person at whose death, as appeared by the ex tract from the will, she (Miss Hall) would be entitled to considerable property, and the policy of seeing her before, her death appeared most desirable. A diffi culty was started on the part of the prisoner, that however urgent and desirable it might be to see her relative before her death, she could not gratify that wish until after the receipt of the Post• office orders from her attorney, as she had not the means where with to pay her travelling expenses. The bait took. 101. or 201. were at once offered, the parties calculat ing on being able to pay themselves when the Post office orders reached them. Their expectations were never realised, and they were obliged to reconcile themselves to their loss. Four distinct cases were established against the prisoner, and on these she would have been placed on her trial had she lived ; death, however, has spared the country the expense of her trial, and, in all pro bability, her transportation. In answer to a question from the Magistrate as to what had become of a savings bank book, which was said to belong to the deceased, though it had been found on Thomas, and by which it appeared that she had 401. deposited in a savings -bank, Goff said that on the trial Thomas applied for the book, and, as no opposition had been made to it, her request was com plied with, and the book delivered up. It is not a little singular that Captain Routledge, one of the most successful and extensive bill swind lers and mercantile impostors that has lived for the last century, died under somewhat similar circum stances in Horsemonger-lane gaol, while under exa mination at this Court for innumerable charges of swindling. • THE TIDE OF CIVILISATION. The tide of civilisation and emigration is al flowing westward. The current is all flowing from the east. The east, therefore, is above the west, and no man can make the current move in a contrary direc tion, without accomplishing the greatest inversion or subversion of all existing institutions that the world has ever yet experienced. No emigra tion of human beings towards the east is k uccessful Had the French known this great truth, they would never have attempted to colonise Algeria ; it was work ing against the tide, instead of taking it at the flood. France is not introducing western civilisation into the east ; it is rather adopting the military and despotic tactics of the people whom it subdued.. The French are becoming Algerines, not the Algerines French. To attempt to form a colony of western civilizes in such a country would be folly, certain ruin. The tide of civilisation forbids it ; yet the land is rich and extensive, and the climate delicious. Turkey is a cataract or rapid which not even the steamers of civi lisation can ascend. The tide is irresistible that drives men westward, and hither all the patriots of the east resort whenever they have endangered their own safety at home. Great Britain is the north western terminus of the old world; and it is for that reason only that she now enjoys the greatest amount of liberty. It is not because she is an island, not be cause her soil is more luxurious, or her climate more salubrious, or her people descended from a more in telligent race. Her people are merely the people of the east, who were driven westward on the early surges of the tide. We all came from Germany, and the Germans came from Hungary, and the Hungarians came from the Caucasus. Had our forefathers not pushed onward to the ends of the earth, their sons would now have been struggling in the east tor those liberties which they have already secured in the land of their destiny. When men seek greater liberty than that which we enjoy, they do not go east for it, but farther west, away to the land where liberty is developed even in its wilderness ; for there is a medium in all things, and liberty itself, without law, degenerates into rude ness. France was at one time the land of liberty, before the flood had reached England; ju4t as Italy once was, before the flood had reached France ; and just as Greece once was, before the flood bad reached Italy ; and just as Asia Minor and the Levant once were. The flood rolls along like a mighty river from one region to another, and as it takes up a new country it inevitably leaves those behind in a retrograde con dition in the hands of despotism. This is not chance --it is destiny—it is a uniform system. History re veals the great secret in every page, and France is even now illustrating the truth of it in her hopeless and ineffectual struggles to turn the tide of humanity. Can she turn it ? Is her geographical position such as to render it possible ? Does she occupy the ter minus? or is there a stage beyond her? There is a stage beyond her, and to that stage humanity will infallibly proceed when it has done its utmost with France, and found that utmost a failure.—Family Herald. THE COUNTRY MARKETS BIRMINGHAM. JAN. I.—At Glocester market, on the 27th ult., wheat was is per qr higher. At Woroestlr the same day, the turn was in favour of the seller. Bar ley fully as dear. In oats but little doing. Beans and peas both rather more inquired for. During the present week we have again to report trifling transactions in wheat, but on .the sales made an improvement of is per quarter has been realised. Fine barley as much dearer; secondary qualities unaltered. Oats, a slow sale, at former prices. Beans and peas maintain their value. At this day's market there was a fair supply cf wheat, for which much higher prices were demanded; but most of our millers having large stocks, the trade was by no means brisk, and at a rise of is per quarter. Fine barley fully is per quarter dearer, and secondary qualitio. wore firmly held for full prices. Beans and peas neglecte and the turn on both was in favour of the buyer. Oats unaltered in value, with a limited sale. DEUST SMITHFIELD MARKET, DEC. 30.—Our market to-day was well supplied with fat beasts, most of which were of good quality; the attendance of purchasers was also large, and on the whole there was a slight advance in price. The number of sheep was large, and h era prices were asked for all sorts, but tho demand w.,s flat, and several lots driven away unsold. The supply of pigs was not large, the demand was equally flit; ealv , s plentiful. Beef, 4id t o 5d ; mutton, 5d to 6id; veal, 5d to sid per lb; pigs, 7s to 7s 3d per score; rough fat, 3s ed per stone of 141bs; hides, lid to I,ld per lb; calf skins, 21 to 3id per lb. GLASGOW, DEC. 31.—With the exception of iro '.. rate quantities of oats, the supplies h- v,< been light, coast wise as well as from Ireland. From abroad. via 1,, Clyde, they consisted or 5,676 quarters of wnereof, 3,700 quarters from Alexandria and 1,96 cprter: , Irian Montreal and New York; of 1,750 quarters ot beans from Egypt; of 4,739 barrels of fbur—namely, 2,218 barrels, along with 630 quarters of peas from Ci,nada, and 2 521 barrels from the United States; v:ii t;r .. ge mouth, of 1,420 quarters of wheat, 465 quarters 4,1 baley, 250 guar tern Of p.-a 3. rod 140 quarters of t Irk, f ~in rk.

The deaths registered in the metropolitan districts have declined from 1,206, the number returned in the preceding week, to 1,040 in the week which ended last Saturday. In the ten corresponding weeks of 1841-50 the deaths ranged from 910 in the year 1845 to 1,403 in the year 1848, and the average was 1,127. If this average be corrected in proportion to the greater amount of population now existing, it be comes 1,241, compared with which the mortality of last week shows a decrease of 211. It appears from a comparison of the results obtained in the present return with those of the previous week, that the mortality from nearly all classes of disease is diminished. Zymotic diseases, which, in the week ending December 20th, produced 251 deaths, reduced their number last week to 203 ; diseases of the res piratory organs declined from 252 to 219 ; tubercular diseases from 204 to 140; diseases of the organs of circulation from 55 to 37 ; diseases of the kidneys from 15 to 10. Diseases of the digestive organs have raised the number of fatal cases from 51 to 61 within the two weeks. _ _ The mortality from phthisis or consumption has fallen from 150 in the previous week to 98 in the last. This latter number is lower than usual, for in corresponding weeks of 1841-50 it ranged from 102 to 160. Among the complaints which form the class of " diseases of the respiratory organs," the deaths of last week are distributed as follows :-90 were caused by bronchitis, 96 by pneumonia, 17 by asthma, 7 by pleurisy, 1 by laryngitis, 8 by diseases not described in specific terms. The present return shows that in the zymotic or epidemic class smallpox was fatal to 23 children and 6 adults, measles to 8 children and 2 persons of 15 years or upwards, scarlatina to 36 children, hooping cough to 31, croup to 5, thrush to 1, remittent fever to 1, infantine fever to 1, diarrhea and dysentery to 21 persons, influenza to 2, purpura to 1, typhus carried off 42 persons, puerperal fever 7 women (besides another case of death after childbirth), and erysipelas 9 persons. Two deaths were caused by syphilis, and 5 by noma or cancrum oris. Of the 29 persons who died of smallpox it is stated that 3 had been vaccinated, 19 had not been vacci nated, and in 7 cases the fact is not mentioned. At 6, Windsor-street, Bishopsgate, the son of a labourer, aged 18 months, died of " variola (2 weeks)." Mr. Spencer states that " the house con tained 16 families, numbering 83 persons, at the time of taking the census. The mother of deceased affirmed that the child had been vaccinated, but without effect. There are several other children in the house who have been attacked with the disease, but are re- covering." In Mile-end Old Town Lower, at 3 Shipwright's-buildings, on the 21st of Dec., the daughter of a carman, aged one month, died of small pox; and on the 231 of December, in the same house, the son of a domestic servant, aged one year, died of "suppressed variola (3 days), without vaccination." The latter child caught the infection from the for • mer. In Deptford, at 9, Dolt-street, the son of a labourer, aged three weeks, died of " smallpox, not vaccinated.' The mother was suffering from small pox when this child was born, but has recovered. The following cases occurred at the Smallpox -Hospital:— Oa the 20th of December a female tramp from Drury-lane ageklo years, died of "small-pox, con fluent, modified pneumonia (16 days) ; vaccinated in infancy at Frankfort ; two good cicatrices." This child had run away from her parents several times, and just before her last illness had been from home fur more than a fortnight, crouching at night in door ways and passages about Drury-lane. On the 20',h of December, a turner and gilder, aged 32 years, from Brandon street, Newington, " small pox, confluent,i unmodified (14 days) ; vaccinated when young ; one indifferent cicatrix." On the 21st of December, an engineer from Port land-place, New Kent-road, aged 16 years, "small pox, confluent, unprotected (15 days)." On the 25th of December, a waggoner from Wil liam-street Cottages, Camden-town, aged 21 years, " smallpox, confluent, unprotected (16 days)." In the sub•district of St. John, Marylebone, at 5, Lower William•street, on the 23d of December, the daughter of a sailor, aged 5 years, died of " scarlet fever (22 days), abscesses in the neck (7 days)." Mr. Bachhoffner observes that " this is the second fatal case of scarlet fever occuring in this family within seven days. The mother of the children is a laun dress, and the wet clothes are dried in the room in which they live. In the opinion of the gentleman who attended them the air of the room is unfavour able to the health of the inmates." In St. Andrew Eastern (Holborn), at 29, Lucy's buildings, Vine-street, on the 26th of December, a carman, aged 70 years, died of "typhus (3 weeks)." Mr. olmes mentions that " Lucy's-buildings are very close, thickly inhabited by working people, and the greater part built over the old sewer. The inha bitants are very poor. There is a public pump, but the supply of water scanty." In Brompton, at 6, Sloane-place, on the 23d of December, the son of a wine porter, aged one year, died of " inflammation of the lungs." Mr. Stone re ports that " the informant complained much to him of bad smells arising from a cowshed and pigs being kept in the immediate neighbourhood. The exist ence of this nuisance was reported during the preva lence of cholera in 1849." Mr. Clark, the Registrar of Peckham, says:— "Although the recent returns for the metropolis show a considerable increase of mortality above the average, it deserves notice that in my sub-district, during the last five weeks, there has been a decrease of one death per week on the numbers of the five corresponding weeks of the previous year:' A few special cases registered last week may be recorded here :—A birdstuffer, aged 48 years, was poisoned by arsenic (post mortem). The deceased had placed some arsenic on bread and butter to poison mice, and afterwards ate the bread himself, whether intentionally or by mistake is not known. Oa the 22d of December the son of a cheesemonger, aged 11 years,l,diedirom " rupture of the appendix vermiformis mei, from the lodgment of an orange pip (5 days)— pot mortem." In Bethnal-green, at 7, New-street, Turk-street, on the 26th of September, the son of a bricklayer's labourer, aged 11 weeks ; died of " fits brought on by inflammation of the bowels and divers parts of the body, accelerated by want of proper me dical treatment (inquest)." A commission agent, aged 26 years, died of " exhaustion from fasting (in quest)." He was a Jew, and was engaged in the observance of one of the fasts that belong to his re ligion. A chemist, aged 24 years, was accidentally suffocated by inhaling a large quantity of ether. SEABORNE MAILS.

A peculiar thickness of the under lip has been here ditary in the imperial House of Hapsburg, ever since the marriage, some centuries ago, with the Polish family of Jagellon, whence it came. In our own Royal Family a certain fullness of the lower and lateral parts of the face is conspicuous in the portraits of the whole series of Sovereigns, from George I. to Victoria, and has been equally marked in other members of the family. The females of the ducal House of Gordon have long been remarkable for a peculiarly elegant conformation of the neck. The Clackmanuanshire Braces, who are de scended from a common stock with the famous Robert Bruce of Scotland, are said to have that strongly-marked form of the check-bones and jaws which appears on the coins of that heroic monarch, as it did in his actual face when his bones were disinterred at Duufermlin,, about thirty years ago. The prevalent tallness of the inha bitants of Potsdam, many of whom are descended from the gigantic guards of Frederick I ; the Spanish features observable in the people of the county of Galway, in which, some centuries ago, several Spanish settlements were made; and the hereditary beauty of the woo o . n o f Prague—are well-known fairs which have fr- go-n.ly at tracted the attention of ehronologibts. The nurges.es of Rome (the most invariable portion of every popula tion), exhibit at the present day precisely the same type of face and form as their ancestors, whose busts may be seen carved in relief on the ancient sarcophagi, and the Jewish phyiognornies portrayed upon the se pulchral monuments of Egypt are id;-i,!kal srit..tho2e which may be observed among mo d e rn Jews in the streets of any of our great cities. rels, and in Indian corn of 1 192 laql!s; a decrease in LPrley of 15.171 bolls, oats 28,405 bolls, beans and peas 29,234 bolls, &Jur 2 000 sacks, oatmeal 1,997 loads, and rye 292 boils, t xhibitiog a consumption tas continuously thereasit g in vieli , a;en fliur as isis falling 'llia oatmeal.
