The collisions of late have been so frequent, and, so fatal in their consequences, that too much publicity cannot be given to so important a subject. " Flag Officer" states :—" I have good reason for believing that the alteration which was made by an Order in Council in the PA rule of the road in 1863 is not so generally known by the young officers of the Royal navy and merchant service as it should be. " The rule in force previous to the 13th of January, 1863, is to be found at page 168, Article 20, of the printed Admiralty Instructions. " The regulations now in force are to be found at page 40 of the Addenda to the above instructions. I will proceed to slow the material changes which were made in the rule of the road by the Order in Council of 1863 by giving both regulations,— omitting, however, in the latter those clauses which do not specially apply to steering : " REGULATIONS IN FORCE PREVIOUS TO JANUARY •nUTITAL LOAN FUND ASSOCIATION 1 4, RUSS anoorporated by Aot of Parliament, 18,50), ELL-STREET.

THE HEALTH OF LONDON. population in the various countries of Europe whence we draw our chief supplies. According to the latest statistics the number of cattle in each country 'named to every head of population stood as follows :—Belgium, about 31; United King dom, 31 ; Prussia, 3 1-3 ; Russia, 3 ; France, 2 1 ; Austria, 21; Oldenburg and Schleswig, each 1; Denmark and Bavaria, each 4 ; Sweden and Ilol stein, each 1-3 ; Spain, 1-6th. From which we may conclude that if every one of the countries con sumed to the extent we do in England, there would be no margin for exportation as far as number goes ; whilst it is remarkable that in Belgium and England, both better stocked than any of the other countries, the prevailing cry of high prices charged for meat is most unmistakeable. In the figures to which attention has been 'drawn the author thought there were good grounds for concluding that we are not likely to increase our importations to any material extent unless we en courage the trade, which encouragement will consist in a maintenance of the existing system of live mar kets ; and, with deference to the opinions of those who hold a contrary doctrine, he submitted that there had been no case hitherto made out for an in terference with the present system of foreign cattle traffic ; and unless some plan is introduced bearing marks of an improvement without the drawbacks of discouraging senders from supplying us with their stocks; he could not- appreciate any rearrangement of the traffic, which would only disturb without im proving our present system. Mr. Cbre„Sewell. Read, M.P., the representative farmer-tenant, occupied the chair, and the discus sion which followed the reading of the essay was very wide and general. The chief speakers were Mr. S. Sidney, Mr. H. Chester, Mr. Rudkin (the chairman of the City markets), Dr. Crisp, and Mr. Woodleigh, the tenour being in the main in favour of having abattoirs for slaughtering the animals at the ports of importation. board, who would be happy to give the new direc tors all the information they possibly could. Mr. NEWMAN, solicitor, intimated that in the event of litigation between the company and the contractors he would not act for either party. In reply to a question, Mr. TURNER, the engi neer, said the cost of making a line from Peckham to New-cross, by which access would be had to the South Eastern line, would be £23,000, irrespective of land. It appears from the return issued by authority of the Registrar-General that in the week that ended on Saturday, Dec. 1, the births registered in Lon don and 12 other large towns of the United King dom were 4,420; the deaths registered 3,199. The annual rate of mortality was 27 per 1,000 persons living. In London the births of 1,085 boys and 1,043 girls, in all 2,128 children, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years, 1856- 65, the average number, corrected for increase of population, was 2,019. The deaths registered in.. London during the week were 1,459. It was the 48th week of the year ; and the average number of deaths for the week i s , w i t h a correc ti on f or i ncrease of population, 1,596. The deaths in the present return are less by 137 than the estimated number. Three deaths from cholera were registered during the week ; and the epidemic is now virtually extinct. The 15 deaths from diarrhea are below the average number of previous years. The total deaths from cholera in the present epidemic have been 5,148, exclusive of 2,692 deaths from diarrhoea, due in part to the cholera element. In the year 1849, when the population of London was about two millions and a quarter, cholera slew 14,137 people of all ages ; in 1854 not less than 10,738 out of two millions and a half ; and in the present year, When the population exceeds three millions, the deaths have been 5,548, of which 3,909 occurred in the East London dis tricts, and 1,639 in the rest of the metropolis. The deaths to every 10,000 of population were 62, 43, and 18 in the three epidemics all over London. In the present epidemic the West districts lost 4, the North districts 6, the South districts 8, the Central districts 9 ; and it was only in the East districts where the ravages recalled the violence of former epidemics that 3,909 people, that is 64 in every 1,000 of the unhappy inhabitants, perished. In London cholera has not only been less fatal than it was in previous epidemics, but its fatality has been reduced almost to insignificance in several of the districts by the mere force of hygienic science, before which the destroyer has retreated step by step ; never, however, losing an opportunity of asserting its full power whenever negligence or ignorance either in Engl an d or i n c iti es of rope. Cholera obeys certain o f presentedth the cont a i n n e o n p e t n E g u , laws, and the knowledge of those laws renders its subjugation in Europe practicable, provided all the people as well as the Governments will co-operate in the work. This it may be hoped will be done, and it only remains for the metropolis of this empire to hold its own and keep the lead. The annual rate of mortality last week was 25 per 1,000 in London, 30 in Edinburgh, and 31 in Dublin ; 21 in Bristol, 25 in Birmingham, 31 in Liverpool, 28 in Manches ter, 31 in Salford, 27 in Sheffield, 33 in Leeds, 26 in Hull, 39 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and 33 in Glas goiv. The rate in Vienna 'was 29 per 1,000 during the week ending the 17th inst., when the tempera ture was 2.6 deg. Fahrenheit lower than in the same week in London, where the rate was 26 per 1,000.

Mr. Benjamin Gore Booth, a gentlemanly-look ing, middle-aged man, was yesterday brought before the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion-home, upon a warrant signed by his lordship, in custody of Ser geant Funnell, the City detective officer, charged with embezzling and stealing several large sums of money, the property of the above corporation, his masters. Mr. Freshfield, jun., of the firm of Freshfield and Sons, the solicitors to the Bank of England, attended on behalf of the prosecution ; Mr. Buchanan ap peared for the prisoner. Mr. Freshfield said he had the honour to appear on behalf of the governors of the uharterhouse, to prefer a charge against the prisoner, who had been in their service, of having stolen several sums of money which had come into his possession on their behalf, which he had appropriated to his own use. He should not be able tocomplete the case that day, and he only proposed to go into evidence in relation to two sums of £9O and £5O, sufficient to justify a remand, and on a future occasion he should give further evidence with regard to other large sums of money. The circumstances under which the offences were committed were these :—The prisoner went into the service of the Charterhouse, iu 1863, and in 1864 he was appointed deputy receiver, under Mr. Keightley, who was the head receiver, and his duty was to receive rents and other monies due to the corporation and to enter them in a book, and at certain periods pay them in to the Bank of England, where the governors had a drawing account, and the office-book kept by the prisoner ought to have been a correct copy of the pass-book of the Bank of England. He was sorry to say, however, that in order to conceal his defalcations the prisoner had made up an entirely fictitious pass-book, in which false entries of the amounts paid in were inserted, and the prisoner would probably have gone on for some considerable time longer without being de tected, but for the circumstance that during his absence from the office on his holiday this fictitious pass-book was sent to the Bank of England to be examined, and the fraud was immediately discovered. The specific charges he should at present prefer against the prisoner were that on the24th of August he should have paid into the Bank of England the sum of £299 10s. 10d., whereas, in point of fact, he only paid in £209 10s. 10d., thus embezzling and misappropriating the remaining £9O ; and that on the 9th August he received a sum of 1225, which he did not appear to have accounted for in any way whatever. lie should also prove that on a subsequent occasion, when he should have paid in a sum of £9OO, he kept back £5O ; and he should show that with regard to this item and the former one of £9O the prisoner had made false entries in the fictitious pass-book he had before alluded to. Upon these facts being proved he should ask for a remand, and on a future day the case would be completed. Mr. Archibald Keightley deposed that he was the re.eivcr for the governors of the Charterhouse, and the prisoner, who had formerly been employed as a clerk, was appointed to assist him in his duties in September, 1861, and he occupied a portion of wit ness's office. It was his duty to receive the rents and other moneys that were due to the governors and to enter them in a book, and also to enter in the same book the amounts paid in by him to the Bank of England to the credit of the Charterhouse. There was no particular period fixed for the prisoner to pay the money he received into the Bank of England, but the sums generally paid in varied from £2OO to £lOO, and in the meantime the whole of the cash and " ' Whenever any ship, whether a steam or sailing ship, proceeding in one direction meets another ship, whether a steam or sailing ship, proceeding in an other direction, so that if both ships were to con tinue in their respective courses, they would pass so near as to involve any risk of collision, the helms of both ships shall be put to port, so .as . to pass on the port side of each other ; and this rule shall be obeyed by all steamships and by all sailing ships, whether on the port ur starboard tack, and whether closehauled or not, unless the circumstances of the case are such as to render a departure from the rule necessary in_ order to avoid immediate danger ; and ,subject also to the Koviso that duertmnrd 811411, be had to the dangers of navigation, and, as regards sailing ships on the starboard tack closchanled, to the keeping such ship under command.'

From the report they would see that by an act obtained in 1862, and by which the capital of the company was limited to £900,000 (£675,000 in shares of £lO each, and £225,000 in debentures), the London, Chatham, and Dover Company under took to work the line, and pay the .surplus receipts to the Crystal Palace Company until they reached 41 per cent., after which any excess was to be di vided in equal proportions between them. Subse quent to this an arrangement was entered into with Messrs. Peto and Co., by which these gentlemen undertook to purchase the land and construct the line and stations, according to the plans of the en gineer, for a sum of £756,000, and to receive in pay ment £531,000 in shares, and £225,000 in deben tures. In 1863 a prospectus was issued inviting subscriptions for £337,000 " B," or preferred shares, the shares of the company having been divided under the powers of the act into "A" deferred and " B" preferred shares, and on these Messrs.

In the opinion of some the con tingency of having very little, and sometimes abso lutely no meat fit for consumption in the London market, is not prov Ned for by consignments from the Continent, but by the home-fed stock ; on the other hand, the school alluded to has the greatest faith in the doctrine that we should be richer, not only in the number, but in the purity of our herds, if we bad never imported a single foreign animal ; but the author conceived this principle to be purely theoretical.. As far as the rinderpest is specially concerned, the Royal commission of 1865 failed to establish anything conclusive as to direct importa tion; and veterinary authorities are even n6Vunde cided and far from undivided in their opinions. Still more, the evidence .given to the Royal commission establishes the fact of the existence at various times of some plague among cattle in England analogous to, if not identical with, the rinderpest is also a strange circumstance that in 1318-49, after the " black death" among men a grievous plague at tacked cattle, whereas in last year and the present the converse has taken place, and it is a question for those skilled in the science of contagious diseases to determine how far such a coincidence may be ac counted for, but the author had the impression that in attempting to establish the theory of direct im portation, we might be pursuing a fallacy. That the necessities of our meat supplies have rendered it incumbent on us to resort to continental Europe is as self-evident as the fact of our having to go abroad for cheaper bread than we can produce at home. The increasing improvement in the quality of the cattle imported is gradually being admitted by all who approach the subject. To those who are satis fied with this improvement being correctly stated it would be superfluous to urge the importance of our having, as far as practicable, unrestricted importa tion of cattle alive ; and where opinions of an ad verse character prevail one can only hope for better convictions, and the author assumed, therefore, that the importation of cattle from abroad was an abso lute necessity ; and leaving the broad question of such necessity proceeded to consider the details of the system adopted in conducting the trade in foreign cattle. After the removal of the pro hibition and restrictive duty on cattle no material importation was received in this coun try till 1846, the numbers standing as follows : —1843, neat stock, 1521 ; sheep and lambs, 216 ; 1850, neat stock, 66,462; sheep andlambs, 143,498; after which there was no material increase till 1860, when the numbers were-1860, neat stock, 104,569; sheep and lambs, 320,218. 1865, neat stock, 283,171 ; sheep and lambs, 914,170. The author was not prepared to show what portions of the above were sold in London, but it may be roughly taken that of all the importations into Great Bri tain more than half of the total number are sent to the Metropolitan Cattle Market. Bearing in mind the overcrowded state of the thoroughfares of the metropolis, the author was quite prepared to find himself at issue with the advocates of the prin ciple of " taking the butcher to the ox instead of the ox to the butcher," for he believed that the prac tice could never be carried out. It would be more than rash, however, to assert that any adaptation of trade to circumstances is impossible ; but admitting such possibility, it is a canon of faith amongst those competent to form an opinion that it would be only at an inconvenience and pecuniary loss to the seller, and consequently increased prices to the buyers, and the certainty of, in the warm summer months, either having no meat in the market, or meat not sound enough for ordin try consumption. It must also further be noted that Holland is not the only coun try from which we obtain our supplies, but the voy age being of shorter duration than any other cattle voyage; renders the experiment of shipping dead meat one attended with less risk than from other districts. Just in the same manner we have had large importations of dead meat from Hamburg in the cold weather, when it will keep for an almost unlimited time ; but this is a question of weather and distance, and it would not be safe to rely on 4ie supplies subject to such contingencies. In summer time the importation of carcases, even from Holland, : would not be likely to be attempted unless in ex- 3 ceptionally cold summers. The necessity of encouraging by every possible facility the attendance in our markets of the foreign dealer will be more appreciated when we consider the actual number of cattle in proportion to the That interest had been paid up to January last, as also the interest on the debentures, which had been created by a resolution of the shareholders in Feb., 1863, and the proceeds of which had been handed to the contractors. As regarded the relative positions of the company and the contractors, the board were not prepared to admit the representations of Messrs, Peto and Co., and therefore uroposed placing the whole matter in the hands of their solicitors. With respect to their position with the London, Chatham, and Dover Company, it was in every respect unsa tisfactory. An agreement had been entered into by the London, Chatham, and Dover, and South East ern Railways, by which the whole of _the suburban traffic of the latter was to have access to the Crystal Palace line, and the board had made some progress with the junction which under the agreement they were bound to make. The Chatham and Dover Com pany had, however, failed to perform their part of the contract, and had given Parliamentary notice to extend the time allowed for construction by two years. At the latter end of 1864, the Crystal Palace Company agreed to abandon its junction with the Metropolitan Extension of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, near Brixton, in consideration of the Chatham Company making a link between Walworh and Peckham. Here again the Chatham Company failed them, having , been unable to procure funds to complete the construction of the section. The directors thought they had great reason to complain of the Chatham and Dover train service. It was hardly possible to conceive any thing more unsatisfactory than the way the line had been worked. He had information to show that instead of the traffic developing, as the traffic on other lines developed, it was as near as could be stationary. He could only say, without going into particulars, that any gentleman who has gone once or twice over the lin?, had declined going again. The London, Chatham, and Dover Company also con tended that the working agreement was not in ope ration, because it had not been submitted to the shareholders of either company, and they likewise asserted that the receipts did not cover the charges. The most painful subject to the directors was the non-payment of their debenture interest, but they hoped that, in the settlement of contractors' ac counts, there would be a balance which would en able them to liquidate the outstanding liabilities. It was a difficult thing to speak of the future of a railway. Statements had been so often made that the results had not justified that he did not like to come forward with positive assurances ; but their position could not be worse than it was at present, and whatever change took place it must be a change for the better. Mr. SINCLAIR, who had resigned his seat at the board since the last meeting, rose to state his rea sons for doing so. The CHAIRMAN asked Mr. Sinclair if it was true as rumoured, that he had ceased to have any interest in the company ? r. declared lahNri his d u i I .t tah r i nna that e th p he l e i r e e d m t a h i a n t e d directors so oa r l i o g n in g a as y shareholderthea pp appointed n a tt r eh e d s e company. He then proceeded w ith hi s exp l anat i on, a s t n o a M o were nothing more nor less than nominees of the contractors and directors of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway. He condemned the lax manner in which the working agreement had been drawn up, and was of opinion that it was not legally bind ing. Respecting the financial position of the com pany, they had £20,000 of assets and £60,000 of liabilities, in addition to which there was the deben ture interest becoming due, and the contractors' claim of about £71,000, making a gross adverse balance of £.1.32,000. Ile thoroughly believed the affairs of the company had been grossly mismanaged, and it was on learning this that he left the board, and publicly sold his shares for something like 20s. or 30s. each. A lengthened discussion ensued, in the course of which Mr. SURGEY moved the appointment of a com mittee of investigation. Captain HOFFMAN moved as au amendment that Mr. Lynch Stanton and Captain Leveson Gower be nominated directors, and that the board be re quested to elect them. Mr. SURGEY thereupon withdrew,his motion, and that of captain Hoffman was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN intimated that the wishes of the meeting would be cordially acquiesced in by the securities were in, charge of the prisoner. lie had referred to the book that was kept by him, and h e found that on Aug. 21th he had received a sum of £299 10s. 10d. from various sources, and it appeared by his book also that on that day he had paid the amount into the Bank of England to the credit of the governors, and it also appeared by another book which the prisoner represented to be the pass-book of the bank, that this sum had been paid in. He had since ascertained by an entry in the genuine pass book of the Bank of England that the prisoner, in stead lod., bookthat onlyp t a w i d o i n: £2 0 9 uauof 28th and 29th.

Mr. height ley went on to say that by a receipt that was pro duced, dated Aug. ?, 1866, the prisoner appeared to have received the sum of £225 for half a year's rent due from a gentleman named Longstaff for some property occupied by hi m b e l onging to the Charter dtiotnot h Lincolnshire, amount, except and xoep made tbtyh n at o iti ei e o n pt t ri r li y ; slhvooinivaestree in net referencerlla a , n p s e b a r y e , fictitious pass-book there was an entry under date of Aug. 13 of " Sundries, £225." There was no entry relating to this sum in the genuine pass-book of the Bank. The prisoner went for his holiday on Aug. 24, and during his absence the supposed pass book was sent to the Bank of England, and the de .. t falcations were at once discovered. I\r . Buc hanan h ot f nan said that as the case must be re manded he should decline putting any que stions. Mr. Goodall, a c l er k i n the private draw in g -office of the i B England, deposed that the governors of the Charterhouse kept an account with the Bank. The prisoner was the person who generally paid in money on account of the Charterhouse, and on Aug. 28 he paid in the sum of £209 10s. 10d., and an en try of that amount was made in the genuine pass. were the diff erent a mounts of w hich the £209 10 s. 101 was composed , and the items were in his hand bworii‘otikir.

The prisoner it was stated is very respectably connected, and has a large family. When he was apprehended a seven-barrel revolver was found upon him, every chamber of which was loaded with powder and ball. A PRIZE FIGHTER IN TROUBLE.--At the Mau iiion House, yesterday, Samuel Hurst, the " Staleybridge Infant," and a man named Thomas Coburn were charged with being drunk and disofderly. A police-constable stated that at four o'clock that morning the defendants were fighting and creating a noiBe in OldhaM-street. Mr. Fowler (looking alternately at the " Infant" and Coburn, wbo was a man of low stature and slight build): 'These two fighting ?—Constable : Yes. —Mr. Fowler : Which won ?—Constable: They both tumbled, for they worn both drunk. (Laughter.) ---11r. Fowler said Coburn had not been there before, and he would be discharged. Hurst was well known; so he must pay a fine of 10s. or go to prison for 11 days. The Fenian uniforms and arms seized last week at Liverpool are probably the first fruits of a large harvest to be gathered in transitu from America to Ireland. There are some ladies in Dublin so alarmed they are afraid to go to bed at night, especially since they heard that Gen. Sir Thomas Lamont had re solved to sleep in the Castle with a strong guard, and that other extraordinary precautions are being used by the - authorities. The news that Stephens has left America and is on his way to this country will, of course, increase the fears of the timid ; but those who reflect do not apprehend any invasion. They expect that the Fenian armada will be disposed of by our gunboats before it reaches Ban try Bay or any other harbour. Since the laying o f the Atlantic telegraph the Fenians should have given up in despair. They would have done so pro bably but for two causes—first, the pleasure of re ceiving large sums of money and exercising power and patronage employed by the leaders, and next the pleasure of annoying and tormenting England. This is, perhaps, considered by many of the party as a sufficient reward in itself for their labours and dan gers. Theextent to which this stinging and goading process succeeds, though carried on by venomous creatures so weak, and so easily crushed if they could only be caught, should teach the Legislature the wisdom of removing, if possible, the matter in which they are engendered ; for this plague is like the cholera or the rinderpest—it can be stamped out effectually only by destroying the sources whence it emanates and the bad sanitary conditions by which it is attracted. In the meantime the pesti lence seems to be spreading over the country. What occurred at Boyle on Monday is probably only a sample of what happens in most towns in Ireland wherever there is a fair or any assembly which serves as a pretext for the appearance of strangers. There a great number of strangers thronged the various lodging-houses, many of them suspicious-looking characters. The w ea l t h y graziers could not have contemplated loosenessplalat this ted the visitors with much comfort when they h ear d that downthep o l n i c a e m h e a s had beenand making i payingaking otother inquiries, domiciliaryvisits,uiries.p tak o i p n ne w ftreoelubnloewartihseestriuntah great f ea w t hmateasisursetatferdom t h and leniency experienced by th e F enian conspirators last year. But the lesson will not be lost if pirates, robbers, and ruffians caught in the act of making war upon society are treated as they deserve, and as they have a right to expect to be treated. COUNTERFEIT SO V F.REI ONS. —lt appears neces sary to warn the public of the appearance terfeit sove re i gns and a half sovereign of a particular de scription which were lately stopped when presanted nt a bank in Manchester. The counterfeits iu question tire not rough casts taken from real coin, but have been struck fu a press from false dies; and what is morn remarkable they all contain gold, although, of course, in a less proportion than the standar]. The fabrication of such counterfeits requires arrangements for engraving and stamping, and also becond the the mean, s se a of th e a . certain r,unaj .y forger.l'l4l nt of . ;econsistreign of George IV., dated 1822 ( a Geor g e and the Dra g on ) 2 4 1 ; f3l quite o f sove reign ll containing gold to the value of about 145.; a sovereign of the present reign, dated 1852, worth 17s. Gd. ; and a half sovereign of 1819, worth about 7s. The half sovereign is under weight, but the sovereigns are not. To detect the forgery will require a close inspection of the piece, on the part of must people, and ti comparison to bo made with a genuine coin. It will then be perceived that the engrav ing is coarse and light, to give the appearance of wear, and the le•ters of the inscriptions not sharply cut, nor arranged with the regularity of the genuine coin.
