N 1V . 5 447 * 1 4 13 , S '' int LONDON, 711URSDAY, JAN. 13, 1870. The Captive Balloon has not gone up a second time. The one thing—almost the only thing—notice able in Mr. BRIGHT'S last speech is the clear proof it gives that he has learned to be a Cabinet Minister. Mr. DisnAELI himself could not have managed the parvuin in ?into better. The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE displayed all the sense of official responsibility, all the reticenc?., and all the studious moderation of language which are considered indispensable in Min isterial public speeches. Nothing could be more con ventional than the new Birmingham style of occupying the maximum of time with the minimum of offence. Formerly Mr. BRIGHT was outspoken in his desire to have the men who " are not very wise" shorn of much of their power, or to materially alter the com position of their assembly. Now we find " an other place" treated with such deference that one could almost fancy Mr. BRIGHT wishes himself in it. "Itis a place of great antiquity, and of great dignity, and of great influence in this country." A little while ago the Peers were madmen for threaten ing to throw out the Irish Church Bill. Now we learn that it was a mistake to call them "not very wise ; " the air of their Chamber was only charged with dangerous matter—an atmospheric phenomenon not at all common there, and which was duly remedied in good time. The great questions of the day, too, are treated with a light, non-compromising tone, which must have greatly astonished the electors of Birmingham. They have long been accustomed to a strong dose of political bell, book, and candle from their favourite member, and the last specimen, that famous letter about the personages who dwell in "another place," was by no means the mildest of its kind. They were told on Tuesday that the land question was very difficult, that they must give the Ministerial measure their indulgent consideration, that the solution of the problem would be a great step towards justice to Ireland, and that justice to Ireland will accomplish great things. Mr. BRIGHT'S work on Tuesday was irreproachable, and such as a speech of the kind, under present circumstances, ought to be. A Cabinet Minister cannot tell Cabinet secrets. lle cannot be unreserved in the expression of his own opinions, for they are supposed to more or less represent the opinions of his col leagues. That portion of the speech which referred to the land question revealed nothing respecting the course which will be taken by the Government ; it did not even furnish the slightest clue. In this respect we are no wiser, nor, indeed, could we expect to be. Scarcely less reticent was the PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE in dealing with his own relations to this topic. He retains his views, and therefore it must be presumed that he still holds by the plan for converting farmers into small proprietors by Government agency, though there is nothing to indicate that this remedy will form part, for it cannot be the whole, of the Ministerial scheme. Whilst, however, Mr. BRIGHT thinks as he formerly thought of the best • cure for the disease, he takes a far more serious view of the malady itself. The problem, he tells us, is not like a hill which looks steop afar off, but proves of easy ascent when the foot is reached. The more the land question is looked at the more difficult does it appear. It is easy to preach fixity of tenure in popular assemblies, amid popular sympathy; but a year's acclimatisation in an official sphere has served to show that there arc rights which ought to have, and interests which will have, their full share of attention. Before the end of next month we are to learn how the knot will be untied. On the education BniGnr's sentiments are, if any thing, an Mr indication i that the Cabinet is not disposed to regard the religious difficulty as a serious one. But the PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE clearly enough considers education 0110 atiladl4ltl'elleOU3 town. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 13, 1870 , teaching another, and is inclined to separate the two. The denominational system was only a temporary expedient, he hints, which must be super seded by some more complete plan. If his reasoning—that " the minister and the religious association of the place of worship is a sufficient organisation for teaching religion in the sense which is meant by those who say that education is of no value, unless it be taught alongside of and mixed up with distinct religious teaching "—be carried to its full consummation, it looks very much like the adop tion of the League proposals—an intention of which the Cabinet has as yet given no sign. The address becomes more and more precise as it goes on, until Mr. BRIGHT is quite himself again. His exposure of the " Reciprocity " fallacy was all the more vigorous and unsparing since the question admits of no hesitation. A cry so foolish and illogical has met with no countenance from any of the Conservative leaders, and therefore it is not likely to involve " Ministerial responsibility." The only hope of the new agitation lay in persuading the British people that " Reci procity " meant something different from Protec tion, and this its advocates have utterly failed to establish. That the interests of Englishmen who have goods to sell in foreign countries can be promoted by prohibiting other English men from buying from those countries is an ignorant and barbarous doctrine, worthy only of the dark ages ; and the notion that because our imports are greater than our exports we must be growing poorer, is still worse. It remains to add that Mr. BRIGHT shares the general doubt whether a completed Education Bill will be got through this year, that he looks for the Ballot at an early date, and still believes that the free breakfast table is not an impossibility. His peroration is one of his masterly appeals to the class which, he espe cially represents. It chews that Mr. BRIGHT'S prac tical experience in legislation has given him a profound conviction that while the Government can do much for the people, the people can do much more for them selves. "It is a fact that no Government, that no Administration, that no laws, that no amount of industry or of commerce, that no extent of freedom can give prosperity and solidity and com fort in the homes of the people, unless there be in those homes economy, temperance, and the practice of virtue. This which lam now preaching is needful for all ; but it is especially needful, most needful in some respects, for those whose possessions are the least abundant and the least secure. If we could abstract from the ignorance, the poverty, the suffering, the sickness, and the crime which are now witnessed among us the ignorance, the poverty, the suffering, the sickness, and the crime which are caused by the one single but most prevalent bad habit or vice of drinking needlessly that which destroys body and mind, home and family—do we nct all feel that this country would be so changed, and so changed for the better, that it would be impossible almost for us to know it again?" THE LOSS OF THE KING LEAR AND THIRTY-FIVE LIVES. The Western Morning News gives some details of the loss of the ; King Lear, with its capfAin and thirty-four other persons —" The wrecked eiiip was the King Lear, Captain Baker, bound from Waif to Hong Kong with coals, 1,360 tons register, but having a burthen of 1,855 tons, owned by Mr. Soamei, of Blackwell. She was 19 years old, and was insured at Lloyd's in the first class, American built, at first designed for a pass'enger ship. The King Learleft Cardiff early in the morning of last Monday week, and had strong westerly winds on her way down Channel. On Thursday night she encountered a violent hurricane from the south-west, at times almost engulph ing the vessel. She rolled and lurched frightfully, and so shipped water that she remained for hours lurching on her side. The seas swept the decks, and the stoutest heart quailed. The water gained rapidly on the pumps, and it was discovered that the vessel had sprung a leak. Everyone then looked to his own safety. The successive breakers completely waterloggedthe vessel, anp after one or two "agony lurches " she quietly and rapidly settled down. The scene on board was fearful. Several of the crew were lashed to the vessel and cried piteously with loud and fervent prayers. All attempts of the crew to save themselves by the boats were useless. Two of the ship's boats were out of repair, and the third was found to be inextricably entangled in the wreck. The ship went down suddenly on Friday morning at ten o'clock, being then about ten miles off the north coast of Devon. All the crew went down with her, except seven —the chief mate, Charles Duncan, of the Isle of Man ; the second mate, Jacques ; the third mate, and Richard Skinner, Hans Loddmann, David Veitch, and another named Munroe. These men, being strong swimmers. rose to the surface when the ship went down, and combatted against the avalanches of water that almost suffocated them. Finding a piece of the poop deck floating they caught hold of it. It was at first thirty feet long, but unfor tunately broke in two pieces, and then they clung to one piece about ten feet long and seven feet in width. To this they lashed themselves, and on this small raft they were alone, without equipments or provisions, with no boots, but fortunately having saved their overcoats. They were entirely at the mercy of the terrible waves. All that day they drifted with a W.N.W. wind, right across Channel, and on Saturday they were still in the same sad plight, gnawing the very wood of the raft in their hunger. On Sunday morning about four o'clock a brig was seen about a quarter of a mile distant, but all attempts to hail her were fruitless. The men were rapidly becoming exhausted; three of them went mad, and threw themselves into the sea, '_and were drowned; one exclaimed that he was going to swim ashore. The land being then ten miles distant. At this time the raft was approaching Lundy Island, when, unfortunately,the wind veered round the N.W., and blew them off the land again. Eight fishing smacks were seen about half a mile off, but the attention of those on board could not be attracted. The wind, which had moderated, then increased, and the chief mate was washed from the raft three times, and was as many times fastened to it by the man Skinner. Strange to say, the men frequently slept on the raft, being unable to keep awake. Between six and seven o'clock on Monday night the screw steamer Chester, Captain Pentney, for Plymouth, with coals for Mr. Brogden, came near the raft, and the look out man heard voices shouting. The ship's lifeboat was quickly lowered and manned, the raft was descried, and with great difficulty the poor fellows were taken on board. the vessel, where every attention was paid them. THE RUNNING DOWN OF THE ST. BEDE. An affecting narrative is given by James Dinning, the only survivor of the running down of the St. Bede steam ship. Tho St. Bede, as already reported, was bound from Newcastle to Huelva, laden with coals, and sailed from the Tyne on Thursday night. She had a crew of 19, all told. Dinning was in the mate's (Mr. Hodgson's) watch, and he came on duty at five o'clock on Friday morning, when the master was relieved and went below ; and Dinning, being an able seaman, proceeded on to the bridge to keep a look out. James Carnie and Alexander Fenton were at the wheel, and the vessel was then steering S. and by E. E., Flamborough Head E. S., distance nine miles. About half-past five o'clock, Dinning observed a steamer's masthead and green light 2i points on the port bow. He had kept his eyes on her, and saw that she was taking a N.W. course for the land. She never seemed to alter her course until she was 2i points on the St. Bede's starboard bow, when her helm appeared to be put hard a-port. The officers of the watch on board the St. Bede then shouted to their men at the wheel to put their helm hard-a-port; but in the hurry they had misunderstood their orders, and put it hard-a-starboard instead. The Black Swan was under full steam, and all her canvass up, and was going at the rate of 12 knots an hour, and the St. Bede six, when the Black Swan ran into the St. Bede on the starboard side, in the way of the fore rigging, and cut her through to the port fore hatch combings. Indeed, she nearly severed her in two parts, and the St. Bede instantly sank, and within two minutes of being struck she was out of sight. She took her crew down with her ; and, no doubt, those who were sleeping in the bunks would be instantly drowned; but as far as Dinning could judge some eight or nine of his shipmates came to the surface of the water with him. He laid hold of a piece of wood and floated with it, having taken off his monkey jacket when he saw a collision was inevitable, the better to enable him to swim. He heard the shouts around him for help, and at that time the Black Swan was lying close to; in fact, he could touch her sides. Men in the water shouted " Ropes : throw us ropes ;" others cried, "Get out the boats, and come to us," and others were imploring the Almighty for help. Some one from the Black Swan (Dinning thinks it was the master, Mr. Knowles) shouted, "Keep your hearts up, my men—you shall have help;" but as far as he (Dinning) could see, neither a rope was thrown nor was a boat lowered. The Black Swan had not her canvas taken off her, and she gradually drifted to the leeward, and Din ning ultimately saw her lights disappear. The poor fellows drowning about him continued to cry for assist ance ; but slowly, yet certainly, he heard the voices grow fewer and fewer, until there was only one left, and he heard that it was the master's. He shouted to him, " Hold fast, Mr. Brown ; surely help will come soon." But none did : and Mr. Brown's voice was heard no more. Dinning being now left alone, float ing upon the tempestuous sea in half a gale of wind, upon the frail piece of wreck, he states that he lived his life over and over again ; but he was of brave heart, and a strong man, and held on. He had been in the water about an hour, and was benumbed with cold and fatigue, as hie long immersion was rapidly overcoming the vital forces, and he at last gave himself up as lost, when he descried a vessel's lights ahead, and as it seemed to be upon his course he took heart again. He made it out to be a smack, and he called upon the men to "lull." They heard him, and ran forward, and as the little craft ran up to him they caught him and hauled him on board. The poor fellow was nearly dead, but they took him below, stripped him, rubbed him well down, and then gave him all the clothes they could spare and got him to bed, and supplied him with hot tea, the gratifying result being that he gradually recovered. The little vessel which performed her task of humanity so nobly was the smack Mary, of Grimsby, from the Dogger Bank, with fish, and bound to Grimsby ; and it is to be hoped that her master and crew will be rewarded, for they behaved like brave good men to Dinning. He was landed at Grimsby during the day, and was taken every care of by the agent of the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society and the seafaring inhabitants of the place. The mayor treated Dinning in a handsome manner, and had him comfortably rigged in a new, warm yea jacket before he left by train foi his home. The Birmingham Gazette says the United Watch makers' Association of London, Dublin, and Manchester are taking steps to prevent manufacturers supplying watches by wholesale to persons out of the trade. At Liverpool it has been decided to establish a watch manufacturers' com pany upon the limited liability principle, with a capital of £lOO,OOO. Lord Monck has written to Archdeacon Redmona, the promoter of the recent tenant right meeting at Wick low, declining to attend, on the ground that at similar meetings irrelevant topics have been discussed, from which he should feel bound to dissent. He states his opinion that the land in its natural condition is rightfully the property of the landlord, and that any additional value which the tenant has given to the land is in point of equity his property, and ought to be vested in him by law. An extraordinary discovery of the dead body of a woman 'was made at Derby yesterday morn ing. An elderly woman, about fifty years of age, named Ann Greatorex, lived by herself in a small house up a court known as the "Ten Bells," Yard, St. Mary's Gate, and was a person of very eccentric habits. The shutters at the house have remained closed, and tho blinds drawn for many weeks past. Suspicion at last became excited, and yesterday morning, Detective Inspector Fearn and Inspector Green proceeded to the house and knocked very loudly. No one answering, the officers at once obtained a ladder, and proceeding up it as far as the chamber window, at once noticed the dead body of the woman leaning with her head downwards beside the bed. It was quite apparent, from her decomposed state, that she had been there some three or four weeks. Poverty could not have been the cause of death, as there was money and food found In the house. The affair has caused a, feneatiCtli in the UeidCPCllltoQd. • LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) (Before Vice-Chancellor Malins.) SMITH V. EDGAR. Mr. Glasse, Q.C., moved in this case for an in junction to restrain the defendant, who is the lessee of Sadler's Wells Theatre, from performing a piece called " Toodles," by the plaintiff. It was arranged that the motion should stand over until next seal, the defendant undertaking that the piece in ques tion should not be played at his theatre until it had been heard. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day. (Before the Recorder.) The trial of Moss Benjamin, and Nathan Ben jamin, his son, who stood indicted with receiving a large number of opera glasses, the produce of a burglary at the shop of Mr. Stanley, an optician, in Great Turnstile, Holborn, was resumed this morning. The prisoner, Moss Benjamin, kept a coffee shop in Eagle-street near Holborn, and from matters which transpired when three persons, named Thomas Williams, Elizabeth Williams, and Robert Hart, were arrested for the commital of a number of burglaries in various parts of London, the police went to Benjamin's house and told him they wanted him for buying stolen property consisting of opera glasses and spectacles. Benjamin told the police they need not search his house as they would not find them, but if they would square the matter he would stand a thousand pounds between them, five hundred of which be would pay down in half an hour. He further told them he would take them to where the glasses were to be found, namely, the shop of his son Nathan, in the Old Kent.road, but that they must pull him through clean, which they could easily by placing the stolen property in the room of a man whose name he mentioned, and whose conviction, he said, could be done without much trouble. The police told Benjamin it was no use, they wanted the glasses and not his money, and they were determined to have the latter. Ben jamin then said he would show them where the stuff was, and they all went in a cab to the son's house, where the property was,found in a carpet bag under the bed. The younger prisoner said his old man had sent the property over to him, as he did'nt know what the bag contained, but on being further questioned he said he would not " round" on his father. After the examination of a number of witnesses, the jury returned a verdict of guilty. Chamberlain, the detective officer, and other constables said the prisoner Moss Benjamin had been a notorious receiver of stolen goods for years, but from his extreme cleverness they had never been able to fix him until the present indictment. He had previously undergone a sentence of penal servitude for five years, and since bis term expired he had bought stolen property to an almost unli mited extent. The other prisoners, Thomas Williams, Elizabeth Williams, and Robert Hart, who had been found guilty on a former day of burglary, were then placed by the side of the Benjamins. The learned Judge remarked on the extensive sys tem of robbery that had been carried on, and the faci lity Moss Benjamin had offered for the disposal of the produce. He then sentenced Moss Benjamin to 15 years' penal servitude, Thomas Williams to 15 years',penal servitude, Elizabeth Williams to 7 years' penal servitude, Robert Hart to 9 months' imprisonment, and Nathan Benjamin to 6 months' imprisonment, with hard labour. The case of Dickeson, who was indicted for con spiring to defraud the London and Brighton Rail way Company of £250, by falsely representing himself to have received injuries on their line on the 23d of June laat, occupied the Common Ser geant, and a case of alleged fraudulent bankruptcy ➢ir. Justice Byles, in neither of which had a verdict been returned. POLICE .11V7ELLIUENCE.-7his Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE EFFECT OF A BAD EXAMPLE.—George Templeman, a boy about 12 years of age, was charged before Mr. Knox with robbing his father, Henry Templowan, a leather dresser, of Dudley street. The prosecutor said that on Tuesday morning, having taken a glass too much, he asked the pri soner to get up and light the fire lle did so, and took a two chilling piece off the mantelpiece, and went away, it being the sixth time the prisoner had robbed him. Mr. Knox—You say you were drunk. If you set your boy such an exaniple, how can you expect him to pursue a proper course ? A constable said he took the prisoner into custody, and had found that his mother was dead, that his father was living with a woman, and that they were of drunken habits. Mr. Knox—The boy will go to destruction if left in such hands. The beat thing will be to send the boy to Feltbam, and the father will have to pay towards his support. - - The boy was then ordered to be sent to Feltham WESTMINSTER. SINGULAR AFFAIR.—A gir of 16 was charged with stealing a cash box containing £2l odd in gold and silver, a blank cheque book, and other valuables, in the dwelling house of her master, Mr. Thomas Edward Croft, a grocer and wine merchant, 6, Oxford-terrace, Chelsea. The box was put safe in Mr. Croft's dressing room on Sunday morning at one o'clock, and at midnight on Sunday was missed ; the prisoner, with others in the house, was interrogated, but no trace of it discovered until yesterday at half-past two, when the cash-box, broken open, was found empty in a disused oven, and the money, cheque book, &c., were discovered in the boiler of the same range. The police were sent for, and when the girl was asked again about it she preserved a tacit silence, and was taken to the station, where she said nothing. In reply to the magistrate, Mr. Croft said the others in the house were four children, his wife, and a youth of sixteen. Mr. Arnold remanded her for a week, offering to take bail in £4O for her appearance. THAMES. A LAZY PAUPER THAT WONT WORK.—George Helsey, an able-bodied pauper, was charged with refusing to do the work assigned to him in the Mile-end Old Town Workhouse. Mr. Thomas Davis, labour master, said the pri soner came to the casual last night, was admitted, received the usual ration for his supper, provided with a bed in a ward well ventilated and warmed, and a breakfast this morning was provided for him. The prisoner was asked to do a little work in return for his supper, lodging, and breakfast, on which he shrugged his shoulders, and exclaimed, " Vork, I didn't come here to vork ; vy, I have no idea of such a thing." He required the prisoner to break half a bushel of stones. The prisoner, " No, indeed ; I've coined here for bread, and you give me stones." Mr. Lusbington asked the prisoner why he did not do the work required of him. ALLEGED NEWSPAPER LIBELS. Two applications in reference to alleged newspaper libels came on Wednesday before the Court of Queen's Bench. Mr. Pope, Q.C., moved, in the case of Clayton v. Harper, tried at the last Manchester Assizes, before Mr. Baron Martin, for a rule for a new trial on the ground that the damages of £l,OOO given by the jury to the plaintiff were excessive. There were two actions, one against the Huddersfield Chronicle ind another against the Huddersfield Observer, but it was agreed that the verdict in the first case should influence the second. Accordingly, when the jury found damages against Mr. Harper for £l,OOO, a verdict was also entered for the plaintiff in the other case, but with only £lOO damages, so that no complaint was made with regard to the latter. The plaintiff was a member of the Board of Guardians at Huddersfield, a vendor of newspapers, and the keeper of a circulating library. A paragraph, written, it must be admitted, in bad taste, and inserted in the absence of the responsible editor,appeared in the Chronicle charging the plaintiff withhaving been discovered withthe nurse of the workhouse in a shed under circumstances which left no doubt of his object. But there were circumstances which went to shew that the state ' fault in the newspaper was not a malicious I invention, and that it had been the common talk of the town. To justify such a large amount there should have been evidence of malice or injury; but it was elicited that the plaintiff's newspaper business had been actually increased by the sale of the very newspapers in which the libel complained of appeared. Besides, the plaintiff's character was by no means clear. The court granted the rule, but told the learned counsel that he must expect the case to be dealt with as one in which there ought to be substantial damages. In the second case, Mr. Field, Q.C., applied, on the part of Mr. Thomas Frear, for a rule nisi Icalling upon Timothy Cheeseborough to shew cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him. Mr. Frear was clerk to the magistrates of Winterton, North Lincolnshire, and in consequence of proceedings which he had been obliged to take in his capacity as a solicitor, ' Cheeseborough had conceived a dislike to him, and had annoyed him in various ways. Eventually he in ! etructed a solicitor, of Hull to apply to the Winterton magistrates for a summons charging Mr. Frear, their clerk, with embezzling moneys, part of the fines inflicted at petty sessions, which he received in his official capacity. The magistrates, after examining Mr. Frear's books, and going into the cases on which the application was founded, refused to grant a summons. Subsequently they refused a second application, and then a letter, sent by Cheeseborough, appeared in the Eastern ?forning News, stating that an application had been made for a summons against Mr. Frear, and arguing, from c•bservations made by the magistrates and the course pur sued by the bench, that a stipendiarymagistrate was required. Ur. Frear objected to the terms in which he was here spoken of and desired to deny the charge on oath. The Lord Chief Justice said that the letter attacked the magis trates only, and that this was not a case for a criminal information. The applition was accordingly not per , sisted in. The death is announced of Tenerami, the Italian sculptor. He was 70 years of age. He was born at Torano, and studied under Canova and Thorwaldsen. MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF THREE CHILDREN. — An investigation has been opened by the coroner for the Isle of Wight, into the cause of the death of Frederick William, Percy, and Kate Foster, three children of W. F. Foster, Esq., surgeon, of Newport. It appears that the whole of the children died within a day after they had oeen seized, of tetanic spasms. Two medical men proved that their deaths were caused by irritant poison, and a post-mortem examination was ordered by the Secretary of State. Pending a chemical analysis of the contents of the stomachs the jury expressed a wish to hear further evi dence, and at the adjourned hearing it was shewn that Mr. Foster's assistant had given the children cough mix tures, and that over the shelf containing the bottles which he states he used there were bottles containing poison. He does not, however, consider that he made any mis take. AN INTERNATIONAL WRESTLING MATCH. - krrangements are being made for a wrestling match of a -2ovel and most interesting character. At the present time certain French wrestlers are fulfilling an engagement in connection with one of the London music -halls, and it is proposed to pit two of them against Jameson and Wright, the well-known North-country wrestlers, or against Jameson and another to be selected hereafter. The thallenge provides that there shall be four falls, two in the French and two in the Cumberland and Westmoreland style, that the stakes shall go to the man who gives the last of the four falls, and shall be in value £5O a-side. As the two styles are almost entirely different, the match, which it is hoped will come off in about h . fortnight, be exceptionally attractive. It maybe mentioned that the French rules of wrestling are more assimilated to those in furce in the West than in the North of England, and that they stipulate for a fair back-fall, do not allow the hands to be clasped, and forbid the use of the cross-buttock. Nothing appears to have been heard at Chatham of any intention of the Government to introduce a measure removing the exemption of Govern ment property generally from local taxation ; and it would seem that the reports of such intentions rest only on the belief expressed by Sir Charles Dilke, in addressing his constituents at Chelsea, that Government intend to introduce such a bill next session. It is not known that any pressure has lately been put on Government to grant such an act of justice to certain localities where there is Government property. Chatham receives an an nual grant from Parliament towards the poor rates, but if all the property of the State at Chatham were subject to local rates, a much greater pay ment would have to be made from the Imperial Exchequer. The people of Chatham, Rochester, and Gillingham can but wish that the rumours are well-founded• THE PUBLIC HEALTH. The following is the weekly return by the Registrar-General of births and deaths in L ondon and in 19 other large towns of the United Kingdom : General Register-office, Somerset-house, January 10. From the commencement of the present year the registered births and deaths in London and in 19 other large cities and towns in the United King dom, having an estimated aggregate population of nearly seven and a quarter millions, or one-fourth of the whole population of the kingdom, will be given in the weekly return. Several additions have been made to the information hitherto pub- lisped ; the towns of Portsmouth, Norwich, Wol verhampton, Leicester, Nottingham, and Sunder land, all important centres of population, are now included for the first time. The Registrar-General has thus endeavoured to render the weekly return more useful to the authorities, to men of science, and to the public. During the week ending on Saturday, the Bth inst., 5,123 births aad 4,162 deaths were registered in London and 19 other large cities and towns ; the aggregate mortality was in the ratio of 30 deaths annually to every 1,000 of the present estimated population. A comparison of the deaths registered last week in the English cities and towns shows that the annual rate of mortality was 38 per 1,000 in Sal ford, 37 in Manchester, 37 in Bristol, 35 in Not tingham, 33 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 31 in Leices ter, 30 in Leeds, 30 in Birmingham, 28 in London, 28 in Liverpool, 28 in Sheffield, 27 in Norwich, 26 in Portsmouth, 24 in Wolverhampton, 23 in Sun derland, 22 in Bradford, 21 in Hull. Half the deaths in Sunderland were of infants in their first year, the proportion of these premature deaths in London and the other towns being on an average about one-fourth of the total mortality. Measles and scarlet fever caused one-fourth of the deaths in Portsmouth, and one-seventh of the deaths in Bristol; scarlet fever caused 18 out of 150 deaths in Leeds, and 25 out of 131 deaths in Sheffield ; whooping-cough caused 16 out of 215 deaths in Birmingham, and 29 out of 351 deaths in Man chester and Salford. The Registrars-General of Scotland and Ireland supply the facts which show that deaths occurred last week at the annual rate of 37 per 1,000 in Edinburgh, 47 in Glasgow, and 28 in Dublin. By the courtesy of the Prefect of the Seine, of Dr. Zuelzar, and of Dr. Glatter, the Registrar- General i 3 enabled to state that in Paris the deaths recorded during the week ending the Bth of January were at the rate of 31 ; in Berlin, during the seven days ending the 6th of January, 29 ; and in Vienna, during the week ending the Ist of January, 24 per 1,000 annually. Out of 1,106 deaths recorded in Paris last week, 40 were caused by smallpox. In London the births of 1,247 boys and 1,184 girls, in all 2,431 children, were registered last week. The deaths registered in the same time were 1,697. During the corresponding week of ten previous years the registered births averaged 2,118, atd the deaths 1,545 per week; after making due allowance for increase of population, the average for the past week is estimated at 2,330 births and 1,699 deaths. The registered births were, therefore, 101 above, and the deaths 2 below the estimated average. The total population of London estimated to the middle of the present year is 3,214,707 ; and the registration districts constituting the metropolitan area, when arranged according to their topographi cal position, are thrown into five groups for pur poses of general comparison. Of these the Western group has a population of 540,647, the Northern group of 733,250, the Central group of 356,385, the Eastern group of 627,620, and the large South ern group (comprising all the districts south of the Thames) of 956,805. The annual death-rate in the several groups was last, week 26 per 1,000 in the Southern, 26 in the Northern, 28 in the Western, 28 in the Central, and 31 in the Eastern group. The deaths registered last week include 8 from smallpox, 30 from measles, 134 from scarlet fever, 5 from diphtheria, 67 from whooping-cough, 4 from typhus, 13 from enteric (or typhoid) fever, 18 from simple continued fever, 19 from diarrhoea, 138 from phthisis, 295 from bronchitis, 102 from pneumonia, and 82 from heart disease. Five out of the eight fatal cases of smallpox oc curred in the east districts. The epidemic of scarlet fever is still maintaining its hold upon the metropolis, and especially in the poorest and most densely-populated districts. The 134 deaths registered from that cause last week were, however, the fewest in number which have been recorded in any week (excepting the Christ mas week) since the middle of August last. During the 52 weeks ended on the Ist of January then were altogether 5,03 deaths registered in London from scarlet fever, a mortality equivalent to 183 deaths to every 100,000 of the population. The disease was therefore more fatal in London last year than in any previous year since registration com menced, the nearest approach to so high a death rate having been in 1863, when scarlet fever killed 171 persons to every 100,000 of the then popula tion. The following three deaths from relapsing fever were registered:— City of London (Broad-street.) —At 2, Pitcher's court, on the 6th of January, the widow of a tailor, aged 52 years; " bronchitis (30 days), relapsing fever (12 days)." Poplar (Poplar.)—At 7, Upper North-street, on the sth of January, the daughter of a greengrocer, aged 4 years, " relapsing fever.", St. Saviour, Southwark (Christchurch). —At 48, Gravel-lane, on the 7th of January, a tailor, aged 36 years, " relapsing fever ; paralysis." A labourer, aged 78 years, died in the workhouse of St. Saviour, Southwark, on the 30th of Dec., of " congestion of brain, caused by exposure to cold ;" and a boot and shoe-finisher, aged 48 years, died in the sub-district of St. Mary, Newington, on the 28th of December, of " congestive apoplexy, from excessive drinking and exposure." Eighty-three persons died aged 80 years and upwards. The deaths of six persons who were killed by horses or vehicles in the streets were registered last week :—A goldsmith, aged 37 years, " run over by a cab." Died on the Ist of January at 35, Flask walk, Hampstead. (Inquest.) A pork butcher, aged 33 years, " fractured skull; fell from a cart" on the 29th of December.

According to returns furnished by the engineer of the Metropolitan Board of Works the daily ave rage quantity of sewage pumped into the River Thames at Crossness was 269,168 cubic metres, and at Barking 155,897 cubic metres, equivalent to about as many tons by weight. (A cubic metre is equal in volume to about 35 cubic feet, or to 22,0 Imperial gallons, a nd we ighs 2,200j3.) .. • The Prisoner—Because as bow I've been in Bartbmy's (Bartholomew's) Hospital, and the doc tor told me to take care of myself or I should not live any how.

BOMBAY MAILS. MALTA, Jan. 12. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ripon leaves at 4 p.m. to-day for Southampton, where she may be expected about the 21st inst. The Delhi, from Southampton, Ist inst., arrived at 7 and left at 11 a.m. yesterday for Alexandria. SPAIN. MADRID, Jan. 12. In to-day's sitting of the Cortes Senor Castelar brought in a bill, which he will support next week when it comes on for discussion, proposing the ex clusion from the Spanish throne of the Bourbons, and the collateral branches of that family. It is believed that the bill will be rejected. FRANCE. PARIS, Jan. 12, Evening. M. Rochefort came this evening at five o'clock in a greatly excited state to the sitting of the Legis lative Body. It is asserted that he will resign his seat. In the later part of the afternoon, at about half past four o'clock, a large crowd assembled in the Champs Elysees, opposite the Palais de I'lndustrie. The people were twice summoned by beat of drum to disperse, after which several squadrons of Chas seurs, without charging, but only in marching step, succeeded in clearing the way. In to-day's sitting of the Legislative Body M. Ferry, addressing the Minister of Justice, insisted that the status of the High Court of Justice was as much opposed to the Constitution as was the Impe rial decree convoking the same. M. 011ivier replied that there was no authorisa tion for bringing such a question before the Legis lative Body, since it did not come within the limits of an "interpellation," but was rather in the form of a proposition to declare the Legislative Body possessed of the powers of a constituent assembly, and to set aside the Senatus Consultum as uncon stitutional. The Chamber then passed to the Order of the Day. At the funeral of M. Victor Noir, at Neuilly, an attempt was made by some persons to remove the body of the deceased to Paris, but this was pre vented by his brother and M. Rochefort and M. Delescluze, who advised the interment of the body at Neuilly. M. Rochefort being unwell could not follow the body to the grave, and was obliged to stay at a house in the neighbourhood. The Temps states that M. Deleseluze addressed the crowd, saying that the Government had pre pared an ambuscade for them, and that it was necessary to postpone their revenge. He advised them at the same time not to compromise the cause of the people by any rash skirmishes, nor to insist upon carrying the body to the Cemetery Pere-la- Chaise. Such, he concludes, were the wiahes o f Victor Noir's family. 12.30 p.m. Nothwithstanding the rain a large crowd of people attended the funeral of M. Noir. The pro cession passed along the Rue St. Honore and the Rue de Rivoli. Jnnuary 13. There was no serious disturbance last night. At about half-past six o'clock some groups of people passed along the Boulevards, singing the " Marseillaise." The sergents de vile tried to dis perse them. Iu front of the Theatre des Varietes, some individuals threw stones at them, wounding an officer and two of the police. Two others were stabbed. Four or five of the rioters were arrested. At 9 o'clock some rioters traversed the Faubourg St. Antoine vociferating, but several shopkeepers stepped forward armed with sticks, and shouted to them that they would maintain peace even by force if necessary. Thereupon the rioters dispersed. At 10 o'clock some groups of people assembled in the Rue Carrefour and Boulevard Montmartre, consisting of men and children singing the " Marseillaise." Several persons sitting at the tables in front of the neighbouring cafes received them with hisses. The sergents de vile succeeded in clearing the s t r eets, and at midnight everything had r es u me d its usual aspect. Only a small number of troops appeared in the public thoroughfares, but great precautions bad been taken to secure order. Several detachments of cavalry arrived in Paris from the neighbouring garrisons. Bo URSE, an. 12.—Three o'clock—The market closed as follows : 41 per Cent.
