G D SAVE; TEE QUEEN. FRA NCE. The rumour was very current on Thursday of the probabili'y of the Popr's coining to Paris for the co ronation; the pt-tiod, hoLivrver, on the authority of the sl!ne rumour, i 3 to he changed from Drcember to 31iy next owing to tho inelemency of the weather ; but the tno6c rec-rit version is, that his Holiness has s hown "no 'disinclination to visit France. Of this, boweier, nothing eer!ain can us yet be said. A Ikter from 141Ars-illvs, dated Wednesday, states that on that morning a trial was m,de at Forte St. Nichtiles Of the i iolerrol rnuchin," seized on the occasion'ot the Preeident'a visit.

A rumour is vtry current which every one hopes may turn out true. it was to the effect that a decree would soon appear ordering a reduction in (he srmy to the; amount of 75 : 000 rwa), and granting en am nesty ythich would tuciude the African Generals. In the Coustitutionkel there is en article on the proposition now under consideration by the Council „of State for altowiug certain manufactured materials ft. r the. fitting out of Merchant vesoils of more than siLty tons burd.n to be. imported from abroad free of duty.' The object of this proposition is to enable the French shipping interest to coustruct vessels at as l o w st rate as in other countries, and thus give an im petus to mercantile navigation. The Constitulionnel w hich advocates protection in every branch of in dos r:, - , Opposes the proposed measure, and states that roost of the mercantile ports ztre Also opposed to it on the ground that it would throw a barge number of workmen, cer mtney,,sailout of occupation.

TEE BRITISII THE PILO7'AGE OF C id ANNEL. Gloucester, in common with some of the other porta of the Bristol Channel, has had a meeting in ' reference to the monopoly held by the Bristol pilots, a communica'ion having been received tram • the Trieity Boerd by the Sub-Commis sioners of - •Pilotee 6 e in Gloucester on the subject of a revision of the pilotage rates. Die Gloncester Chamber of Commerce having been requested to favour the Sub-CosemiOemers with their views on the sub ject, a meeting of the committee of tht body was held at the Comereial Rooms, Gloucester, nu Thurs day ; W. I'. Price, one of the Members for the city, presiding. After the subject of the local pilotage had under gone: considerable discussion, in which the question of the Channel pilotage was occasionally introduced, the following resolution was unanimously adopted:— " Tlet it is the opinion of the Chamber that the rates at present authorised between Sharpness Point and King-road are not excessive, and ought not in fair ne,s to the pilots to be neaten illy reduced, so long as the jurisdiction of the Gloucester pilots is limited to the eastward of King-road." With respect to the monopoly of the pilotage of the channel by the Society of Merchant Venturers of Bristol, many condemnatory remarks were elicited ; at the same time it was considered by some gentle ' men that; its the Society of Me-rchant Venturers de rived no immediate profit by the appointment of the pilot's, on a proper representation of the case, and the ' bringing forward by the pours iwerested a well , con sidered plan, e peble of meeting the requirements of the ease, the Society of Merchant Venturers would be tilling to give up this monopoly. Mr. T. M. STURGE explained that when the Act conferring the monopoly upon the Sociey of Mer chant Venturers was obtained, Bristol might be said to be the only port in the channel that curried on a foreign trade. Circumstances being now uttered, a change was required. Mr. Hellicar, who had served every office in the Society of Merchant Venturers, he was happy to say, at the Newport meeting, bad ex , pressed a similar opinion to Mr. Kimberly, namely, that a society bad no pecuniary interest in retaining the monopoly; in feet, it imposed a considerable areoent of trouble upon them, in having to assess with the megh‘trates the amount of remunera tion claimed by pilots when they bad rescued ves sels rom danger; while the society had frequ ,, ntly calls made upon it by distressed pikes for pecu niery wsisteuce. Mr. Flellicar hart expressed tits conviction that, if the merchants of Bristol and other parties interested were. met in a fair and haul soml menner they would be quite inclined to unite with the other ports in remodelling the pilot age System. There were forty-ix pilots appointed by the Society of 'Merchant Venturers, and in addi tion there were 2.5 local pilots appointed for Cardiff, 20 tor Newport, and 16 for Gloucester, who, after the veiiel bad been brought from Lundy Island by the Bristol pilot, conducted it into the port to which they were respectively attached. The expense of this eystetn was enormoua the different ports paying, he believed, between 20,0001. and 30,0001. a year for this service, for each pilot had a boat which'was manned by a man and a boy in addition to the pilot. None of the men, he believed, were over paid for their services ; for many of the local pilots, ' when trade was dull, ma;e a very poor living indeed. Is was the system which made the expense come so heavy. He recommended, instead of the present sys tem, that a similar one to that pursued at Liverpool and were NewY orkehould be adopted. At these ports "schooner smacks" kept for the' purpose. They each took out ten or twenty pilots, and ' then cruised about the channel for vessels approaching the port, each pilot taking his turn to take charge of a vessel. The sailing yacht America' had been built for this service at New York. The system worked admirably, and at a third or fourth of the expense of the system pursued here. Perhaps it would be a still greater improvement to employ steam-tugs instead of schooner smacks for the service. After some diF.cussien the following resolution was I adopted unanimously :—" That it is exceedingly im portant to the interests of this port that this cham ber should co-operate with the other ports in the British Channel interested in the question of chan nel pilotage, with a view to get released from thn present system of channel pilotage, and to en deavour to get the Gloucester pilots licensed to bring ships all the way from Lundy; and that Mr. Price, M.P., Mr. Bird, and Mr. Kimberly be appointed a committee for such purpose, and that they be re quested to report from time to time to this chamber." A vo a of thanks having been accorded to the chairman, the meeting broke up. MR. HOSKLI 6'B PLAIV of a CENTRAL Al) Oa)/ Cie BRlT.rai 131USEUM.

The bankrupts were shawl warehousemen in Wood. street. Their de=bts are about 35,0001.; their assets about 8,000/:; there are also debts to the further amount of 12,3541. covered by securities valued at 7,8001. This was an adjourned examination meeting. Linklater appeared for Keith; Mr. Lawrence for Shoohridge ; Mr. Reed for the assignees ; Mr. Lucas for creditors. Mr. REED said he would not object to the bank rupts passing their examination ; but us regarded Keith, he must ask the Court to withhold any fur ther protection, and to grunt the assignees a certificate of execution. Tbe proceedings at an examination meet ing on the 23 i of April showed that Keith had been guilty of offences which brought him under the penal clauses of the 256th section. After the firm had suspended payment he had forwarded to his brother, Mr. Alexander Keith, of Glasgow, certain bills of ex change, amounting to 626/. to cover him against a liability to the extent of LOON that he had incurred on account of the firm of Keith and Shoobridge. These bills had not been given up to the assignees, and he had 'o a-k the Court bath to decide that the bankrupt Keith had been guilty of a fraudulent pre ference to his brother, and to withhold protection accordingly ; and also to sanction an action being brought against Alexander Keith for the amount of the bills. Mr. LINKLATER submitted that the evidence was not sufficient to warrant the Court in arriving at the conclusion that the bankrupt had been guilty of any fraudulent intention. He had done his utmost to in duce his brother to give up the bills. If the Court were to refuse its protection to the bankrupt, it would be to anticipate the judgment of a superior tribunal on the right of the assignees to the bills. The COMMISSIONER said if the legal proceedings against Alexander Keith had been in an Engliah court, he should have felt, inclined to take his usual course of ordering a short adjournment, with a view to ascertaining their result. He scarcely knew in what period the proceedings, under the laws of Scot land, could be expected to ba brought to a deter mination. Mr. REED thought that a judgment could not be obtained in less than three or four years. The laws of Scotland moved at about the same pace as our Court of Chancery. He had only that morning seen a client who bad consented to compromise a claim upon a debtor in Scotland, solely on the ground that the legal proceedings had already occupied four years. The CoaratissioNza said he would reserve his de cision of the question of protection to Keith until the 17:h of November. He should then be in a position to judge of the steps that the assignees had taken in the prosecution of their claim, and the manner is which that prosecution was met. The bankrupts then, after a short examination of Shoobridge by Mr. Lucas, passed their examination. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. _ _ _ Mr. Stephen H. Sleigh and Mr. Henry Owen, of No. 1 , Adelaide - place, London- bridge,were sum moned before the Lord Mayor for having unlawfully con spired, together with divers other p e rsons, t o cheat and defraud Dr. John Hall Davis, and that in pursuance of the said conspiracy, they, by certain fa l se pretences, obtained from him the sum of 1001. Mr. Clarkson, instructed by Mr. .Hutnphries, ap peared for the prosecution ; Mr. Wontner attende for the defendants. The Learned Counsel said the charge arose out of certain transnctions in what was called a joint-stock company, with the unusual title of " The Annual Bonus Life Assurance Company," which professe 1 to be founded upon the principle of the Art-Union, by giving an opportunity of ballo;ing for a large share of the annual profits of the society. That principle was in direct violation of the law, and was no doubt adopted into the company, which had no foundation at all, with the view of inducing unwary speculators to venture their money in the hope of turning it to quick and profitable account. The prospectus to which the attention of the Lord Mayor was particularly called, contained the fol lowing recommendations :—" Assurance instantly ob tainable on application to the agent, without the trouble and loss of time ordinarily incurred. Annual bonuses paid to the natured, not in equal fractional amounts, but in accumulated sums, as bounties for the encouragemene and promotion of life assurance in general, and varying in amount from 101. to 1,0001. The first distribution to be made on the Ist of July, 1853, and continued every succeeding year, in th e manner of the Art-Union of London, when every member of the society, who has subscribed one guinea before the Ist of June, will have an opportunity of balloting for a large share of the annual profits of the society." The complainant was led, by the represen tations of the defendants, corresponding with the high promise of the printed recommendations, to advance the sum of 1001., o f which he complained of having been defrauded ; and having received an intimati on that the company was without stamina, and that it had been projected for the mere purposes of imposi tion, he applied to his solicitor, who advised the pre sent mode of seeking retribution. Doctor John H all Davis, of 17, Russell-pl ace , Finsbury-square—l am a doctor of medicine, and was in the month of June in attendance upon the wife of Mr. Henry Owen,. one of the defendants, in Adelaide-place, L ondon -bridge. I had then no idea companyof t h e ex i s tence of such a as the "Annu a l Bonus Assurance Company. ' It was introduced to my notice by Mr. Owen in July, when he showed me a small prospectus, without names, and said the com pany would be of great service to the public in ef fecting life insuranc es, and inducing people to ad o pt the habit of iusuring, and that he thought it would be likely to prove a successful undertaking. This was mentioned to me on three subsequent occasions as I was attending Mrs. Owen in her illness, and I w as informed there would be no difficulty in obtaining agents, and that there was one agent who would undertake to get one thousand subscriptions. I did not until subsequently determine to join the company. He had recommended the company as calculated to promote my interest, likely to b e pro ductive to the directors, and also as baying received the sanction of Mr. Tidd Pratt to its regulations. He :said he should like to introduce me to Mr. Sleigh, to bear what he would say on the subject, as it was his proposition. I was taken by him into the next room, where Mr, Sleigh was. I understood it tó be. the hoard room, and there I had a repetition of the statements snore forcibly expressed by Mr. Sleigh, who further steted that Mr. Tidd Pratt had seen the prospectus, and had certified and sanctioned the society by . his signature. In consequence of these atatements,and on the faith that Mr. Tidd Pratt had given his sanction to the rules, I consented to be connected with it. In answer to a communication from Mr. Owen, I enclosed him on the 18th or 19th of July my cheque, which, from my ignorance of mercantile payments, I marked with the sign of the cross, having been requested to send in my crossed cheque for 1001.. Afterwards I exchanged for that another cheque which I crossed by his suggestion in the customary way. I never saw any board of direc tors, from the 26th of July to the 4th of October, in the boardroom, and am not aware of any proceedings at the board. I was quite unsuspicious of any un fairness until I received a letter while at nesting/. I then came to town and at once put myself in the hands of my solicitor. Had it not been for the assu rance made to me by Mr. Owen and Mr. Sleigh, that Mr. Tidd Pratt had Certified as to' the rules, I would never have had any connexion with the company. Had I known that the constitution of the society w as vitiated by the introduction of rules at variance with the lew, I never would have joined it. I had no idea that the prospectus was k ot in conformity to the rules certified by Mr. Tidd Pratt. When I signed the agreement there was a number of small prospectuses, which did not contain the names of directors, lying upon the table at which Mr. Sleig'n was sitting, I directed my attorney to serve notices on all parties I discovered in the prospectus. Mr. Clarkson — Have you received back your 100/. ? Witness—l have not. Cross-examined by Mr. Wontner—l have k nown Mr. Henry Owen nine or ten years, and have been his professional attendant. Ihe two at tended him on many previous occations. sorn ago he intimated to me his de s i re to oasosristthinrefeorymeianrgs an assurance society. I said if it was well constructed I should be glad to be appointed physician to an in surance society. Mr. Wontner—Did you not endeavour to get some directo-s for that corepeny ? Witoes , 4—l did t•peak to two friends upon the subject, hut did not succeed, 1 and I heard no more about it. When I first knew about the present company, Mr. 0 Nen first spoke to me, and not I to him, on the subject, and he showed me a prospectus. My first converAntion with him on the matter was in July, and I took home one of the prospectuses and looked over it. Mr. Sleigh had told me the terms on which I was to become a director were that I was zo advance a loan of 1001. to provide for the current expenses, and to sign an agreement with the promoters.l read over the agreement and signed it. I knew what I was signing. I was to receive two guineas on each board - dey for at tendance, and three guineas when I officiated as chairman. Mr. Wontner—Dial you not call upon Mr. Sleigh and insist upon the removal of the medical man who had his appointment ? Witness—No ; I suggested that they should be very careful that the person ap pointed as physician should be what he represented himself to be. I was not anxious to have him re moved if he was a competent man. I said I could not find his name in the " Medical Directory," and I showed the Directory to Mr. Sleigh. I might have said that he was a mere surgson apothecary. I after. wants was informed that he had the qualifications. I had nothing to do with the settling of the second pros pecltia. One, WaS sent to me in the country, and I ma de a correction in it. I was styled in it a trustee, and I objected to !diet design:stian. Ido not know of any one advancing money but myself, but I have learned of two others advancing 1001. each. I had such perfect confidence in Mr. Owen that I enter tained not the slightest suspicion till I received the latter I have alluded to. Mr. Wonter—And did you before you came to the Mansion-house to apply for a warrant against these gentlemen, apply to Mr. Owen, in whom you had such perfect confidence ? Witness—l did not. I was advised not. My confidence was shaken in Mr. Owen, and I therefore placed no further trust in him. I was told, in order to induce me to join the com pany, that there were many applicatians for direc torships, and that I had better be quick as there was an anxiety to fill up the vacancies. Ido not recollect having seen any rules at all in my interviews upon the subject of the company. No rules were read to me. Ido not recollect that the Act .of Parliament. hal been produced. The prospectus was placed side by side with Mr. Tidd Pratt's letter, and Mr. Owen and Mr. Sleigh said that the letter referred to the prospectus. Re-examined—l was told that the letter contained Mr. Tidd Pratt's approval of the prospectus. Mr. John Tide]. Pratt—l am Registrar of Friendly Societies in England. I produce the original rules of a society which I sanctioned, called the "Annual Bonus Life Assurance Society." The rules are signed by Mr. Sleigh, Mr. Owen, and Mr Candy, and by the clerk to the society, the Act requiring that they should be signed by three members and a clerk. I certified it as a registered friendly society. I do not recollect having seen the prospectus produced. It might have been seen by me. If any rule had been sent to me containing anything like a drawing by lot tery I certainly would not have certified. If the paragraph in the prospectus alluding to ballot were handed to me as one of the rules of a friendly society I would not have certified. I never have certified for a ballot in a case of a friendly society. Mr. Wontner considered the charge against his clients, who were at least equal to the prosecutor in respectability, to be one of the most audacious that could be imagined. The whole of the evidence showed that if any wrong had been done, the doctor was as much involved as they were. They were all in the same speculation, with the difference that the doctor wished to add to the pecuniary profits which might arise from the enterprise the advantages to be derived from the connexion of his name with a public company as a director. It was rather im probable that he, who had known Mr. Owen's family nine or ten years, should have gone ignorantly into the company. On the contrary, it was plain that he had sought an acquaintance with the interests of the association, and calculated like the rest of them, and risked his money in expectation of deriving a profit, to which he would be certainly entitled, and which he would certainly obtain, if the speculation proved successful. It was absurd to say that the 1001. had been obtained under false pretences. The fact was, that Dr. Davis calculated too sanguinely upon rapid profits, and, finding that he was precipitate, deter mined to raise a cry against the company, in corre spondence with the existing prejudices, for the pur pose of compelling the defendants to return the sum he had speculated with. The LORD MAYOR said he felt some little difficulty upon this question, but having looked attentively to the evidence as to the conditions upon which the com plainant had parted with his money,-he considered himself bound to bind over the defendants in their own recognizances of 1001, each to answer the com plaint. TO THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. The Petition of Rooert Rettie, Inv < n'ot:ard Con sulting Engineer, from Glas,zow (Crystal Palace, Class 7, No. 159, Engineering Department), Humbly sheweth that he is the orig'nd Inventor of sill the R-d, White, and Green Signals, now in use upon the/ railways and the ocean, by day at d night, for the safety of lite in the preventing of " Collision on Rail ways aretat Sea," " Shipwreck'," showing " Signa!s of Dis!ress" at ail hours of the "night," also the depth of water at all the ports and harbours throughout the world, with a universal udo of Sizzlela for ail Nations. That your petitioner was written to, when in Scot land, by the late Sir R. Peel's Government as far back as the year 1842.3, when engaged in busines., and re siding iu Glasgow, as the proprietor of the " Glasgow Brass Foundry"—and assured, that should his system of using Colours and Signal Ligh6 succeed, after trials to be made at Woolwich and Portsmouth—which trials were suceetsfully accomplished—l should be provided with an appointment to carry out the same under Go vernment. Teat this was accomplished successfully, I nerd only refer your attention to the Government Report, No. 568, August 3. 1846—laid before your Honourable House in 1846, clearly showing that these trials were not only highly successful, and also approved of by the Govern ment authorities appointed by Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., Port Admiral at Portsmouth; but also the various bar beur and port commissioners throughout England and Scotlend, whom the petitioner visited personally 1845-6. end explained them; all presented memorials and peti tions, and documents to the inventor and the Board of Admiralty And the Peninsular, Dublin, and Scottish navigation steam companies, with Lloyd's and the Generel Ship owners Association of London, cordially joined in ex• pressing with ethers, thsir general utility for the saws, and protection of life and property (ate printed work Bettie on Ma ice - Nisht Signalza" 1847). Your me morialist *het efore humbly lays before your Honourable Houie the plein frets of his case;—AttPr having thus served faithfully my Lords of the Admiralty—during Sir it Peel's Administration—at the clockyardsof Woolwich and Portsmouth, and then returned to Scotland, when your memorialist was itgaia sent for a th'eel time by Captain Hamilton, R.N., secretary to the admiralty, who, when I arrived, told me, I was entered now on heard the Hagler steam frigate—(entered on board 15th November, 1845)—anal that I must again proceed to Portsmouth, and that I was to be paid for my services us an officer, and having pone to Portsmouth tad re eeeved a series of new trials and remained upwards of eight weeks on board and twelve months on shore—and leave of abreact granted by Sir Charles Ogle, hart Port Admiral—at an enormous expense and neglect of my business, and after all have never received one for thing of pay while there ! And these trials were then so successful that all parties admit, and to prove they were so, they have actually carried out and used my plat by alterations so evasive, that much loss of life and pro perty has been the result by using three different lamps at a great t xpense—from 1001. to 1501. each steamer-- when one lamp at 101. to 301. woul.i hive been sufficient as to expense and tare in safety for life. Thus was my time engaged away from home, an d I was obliged to sink my little capital for the Government service, and for six years have I been kept waiting, day after day, expecting justice being done me, by the party who had then assumed power under "Lord John Rus sell," Commodore Houston Stewart, at Woolwich dock yard. When my trials were concluded and after attend ing daily for three years at the "Admiralty," I was sent to the Board of Trade," and by them to Lord John Russell, and from all I have had nothing but evasion, though one and all of them know that I have been by their treatment brought from effluence to poverty, Havieg paid 3001. for my patent rights (which they , the Admiralty have infringed!) and expended up wards of fifteen hundred pounds sterling, besides years of labour and fatigue, and have had no redress nor remuneration, but injustice from the Admiralty, whi, have placed one of the name of "Captain Den ham" to till the place appointed by Sir R. Peel, But., for me, to carry out these . inventions; and they have also encouraged a Mr. :thiler, in Piccadilly, a candle maker, to surreptitiously make for them, and reunufacture, sell, and infringe on my coloured lights, for the navy and commercial marine, under tie it coun tenence and support! Your memorialist htnebly urges his &aim, from the poverty which these pie ceedings and injustice have brought upon him; for such a long period be has been kept out of business, and ruined by the Lords of the Admiralty proceedings, and he feels assured that our Honourable ll use will not only hear the pra3t-r of one whose labours have so much contri buted to the safety of all nations, both by railway and at sea! 'as it is universally acknowledged by all nations. That your memnrish.,t is the " only true inventor who gave to coloured lights a eignifiiev inn and meaning for ttsy vici night," and that without these lights and colours they; could not travel by day or night one hour in surety. Trat your memorialist having spent his all for the coed of bi, country, and the sole object in saving of the lives of our seamen and vessels-600 sailtog vessels, 100,670 tons, and 11 siesrners, 1,306 tons, having been wracked and run down during the last year, 1851—and 'or seven years since this plan was brought out and triid, and kept tick by parties for interested purposes, to the sacrifice of human d-mands at least investi gation to the folks:, extent ; also that due reparation may ID3 aiven for himself and family, &e., Your memorialist will ever pray, RonEra' RETTIE, Consulting Engioeer.

(From the Registrar-General's RPport.) The official report slys :—ln the week that ended last Siturdly 984 deaths were registered in London. In the corresponding weeks of the ten years 1842 51 the average number of deaths was 936, which with an adlition for increase of population, and for the sake of conapurion with the present return, will be 1,030. The present state of the public heelth is therefore not unfavourable, fur though scarlatina is prcvdent in some parts, the mortality from other epidemics is much diminished. The deaths referred to measles last week w 3, to small pox .5, to hooping- coug h 16, tocerroeunpnl6Y, ma 43,tofeverdysentery t e o nz th a r 3 u , sh to 4 a , g t u o e drr 1, ia toh remittent I,to 5, to influ enza fever 1, to typhus synochus, &c., 47, t o erys i pe l as 5 . A boy, aged nine months, died on sth Oct., at 33, Prebend-street, Camden New Town of "cholera infantum (3- days.)" , The mortality froth scarlatina, is • but not so great as in the two 1) disease was fatal in th e last three weeks revionsweeks. The in 83, 81, 3 and 70 cases succe s si ve l y . In t he sub district of St. John's, Marylebon e , it destroyed sons, among whom were a man aged no d less than 9 per -31 years, and a woman aged 32 y ears , bothn a having c died of the malignant form o f th e disease. Salisbury-street, ha s been visited with wi,h g ae rea h t o s u e s v e e , n 4 t s y , 4 persons having di e d i n i t ( 3 on t h e 3 l and 1 or: the 7th October). The medical attendants of three of the cases addressed notes in reference to them to the registrar of the sub-district. Mr. Burford says : " This morning I wrote certificates of the deaths of two children from malignant scarlet fever at No. 45, Salisbury-street. In the same house a woman died of the same disease a few hours be fore my patients. I therefore thought it necessary to examine the premises, and found the drainage very good, and the whole house much better venti lated than most near ia But a fertile cause of ma laria was soon ascertained to exist in the adjoining house, the drain of which passes along the passage about a foot from the wall of No. 45. This drain is imperfect in some places, and the filth has infiltrated into the wall, and thus evaporates through in the most subtle and injurious form. The whole of the diseased persons reside on this side of the house ; the occupants of the other side remain unaffected. There is also a shop close by, where, the neighbours inform me, all kinds of filthy rags and bones with decom posing flesh thereon ere received in great abundance. And Mr. Wells adds :—"I attended Ann Wilson, who died on the same day at No. 45, Salisbury•street. I have been over the house with Mr. Burford, arid concur with him in all particulars above stated." The son of a labourer, aged one year, died on 4th October, at 16, John-street, Whitechapel Nerth, from " inhaling a poisonous atmosphere, congestion of both lungs (30 hours)." Dr. Godfrey suhjoins on his cer tificate :—" I- was only called to attend this. child when it was dying. It is probable that it had also some sudden inflammation of the coats of the stomach and intestines. The air is poisoned by bone-boilers and stinks of a m ost dis g ustin g and unwholesome na ture. In this close, overpopulous, and dirty • neigh bourhood fever and all malignant and conta • gious dis eases constantly exist, and are propagated through the surrounding districts. In the sub-district of Boroug, y h-road at 8 Rodne s t ree t, the son of a cheesemo nges ts a , • . sistant, aged 2 years, died on 6th October of " scarlatina rnaligna (5 days)." Mr. Elliott, the registrar, w r it es t h at " this is the second death in the Same family within seven days. Oa the 30th September, a brother of the child now registered di e d o f ' sc day).' The moth er , when recently (4 days), typhus (1 recently giving informa tion, stated that the .- cesspool of her h ous e o verflowed lately into the yard, and continued to do so for about a week. After complaint had twice been made on the subject war]nell were sent to make the necessary ' alteration.'Tye medical attendant of the children has advised the family to remove from the , house." At the village of Lewisham, in Price's -buildings, the son of u painter, aged 18 months, died of " scarlatina ( 8 days)," Mr. Bslchatn, the registrar, makes the fol lowing remarks :—" Lewisham holds a high position as regards salubrity, but the death now recorded oc curred in a locality that requires the attention of the proper authoritirs as much as any in the metropolis ; and when I have occasion to visit it it is matter of astonishment that some pestilential disease does not break out in consequence of the filthy and disgraceful state of the neighbourhood, namely, Hanover and the adjoining streets. I am convinced that with proper drainage this place would become pre - eminent in point of bralth." In Sr. George, Bloomsbury, at 7, Henrietta-mews, on sth October, the son of a cab-driver, aged 12 days, died of " diarrhoea (3 days)." Mr. Yardley says:— " This is the third infint belonging to the same parents that hasslied in this stable within a few days of its birth from the same cause ; the stable does not differ from others except in its being situated very close to tla , burial F, , rcunds of George the Martyr and S-. G •org-, Bloomsbury." A!, 20, Suffolk -street, in the sub-district of Camden town, the d , ughter of a bricklayer, aged 20 months, died of " mesentric disease." Mr. Hull observes:— " This is a crowded and unhealthy neighbourhood, very clf,se to the Imperial Gas-works. The national schools lately built are by way of distinction called th gas-water echools, from the overflowing of the gas-water wile') passes in a broad exposed stream un:ler a gate of the factory to a grating in the public path. This has rendered tha spot notorious fur the unpleasant smell which arises from the continual run ning of the warm fluid." A:t 12, Harrow-alley, Aldgate, on Bth October, the daughter of a coalwhipper, aged 2 years, died of diarrlaci (6 months)." " This" (says Mr. Spen cer), " is cu unhealthy place, surrounded by slaugh ter-houses. The soother of the child states that the house she live?, in and two others have been without water for above two months, in consequence of its being cut off." mortality from small-pox continues low, and only 5 deaths were registered last week. Amongst thf'se is that of a girl, aged one year, not vaccinated, at 3, Willis's-place, Bishopsgate, who died without medical attendance. " There are 5 other children now lyieg ill with the disease, none of whom have been v;iceinated, the parents objecting to it, from having heed told that several children died iu conse quence of vaccination." And at 82, Earl-street, Lifson grove, the daughter of a bottle, merchant, aged one year, died from " co: fluent small-pox (14 days) vaccinated 7 days previously." The medical certifi cate a:lds •—" Vaccinated on the 23d of September in two points on each arm. Small-pox first showed on the skin on the 30th. Both diseases progressed in a modified form for 5 days, when the child fell into a typhoid state." On the (Lb of October, at 3. West-pl.fict.ft, Islington, the wile of a grocer, aged 61 years, died of " typhus (14 days), pneumonia (10 days)." Two cases of fever occurred in the immediate neighbourhood the week before last. The daughter of a labourer, aged 9 years, brought from Barking, died in the London Hospital of chores.
