The number of these members is to be from twenty-five to thirty, but they cannot deli berate without the members of the first section, twelve in number. The second section is to occupy itself with all the modifications to be made in general instruction, in examinations of all kinds, and in the drawing up of the programmes. The decisions of this section will not be voted Aithout the authorisation of the Minister of Public Instruction. This section ;is to meet at least twice a year, or more frequently, and always on the convocation of the Minister. As to the third section of the Council of National Instruction, which is to be called " Section of Private Instruction,' the Committee has not yet fixed its , powers, but has only decided that the surveillance specially confided to this section and the first %hall be exercised in the name of the State, by the intermediary of a corps of inspectors, charged to inspect the establishments of all kinds, public and private, lay and ecclesia ,, tic. These inspectors may be selected by the Minister from official, private, or ecclesiastical teachers. • THE SUN, LONDON, The Corsaire says :—" There was an on dit in , the Salle des Pas Perdus on Saturday, that a diplomatic note from the Cabinet of Vienna had announced that Austria would be disposed to disarm 200,000 men, if it were thought that France would t'ollow the example. The point is a delicate one. There has been a Council of Ministers on the subject. M. Passy, Minister of Finance, pleading for the in terest of the Treasury, presses his colleagues to adopt such a measure at once. It is moreover felt, both at the Elysee and the National Assembly, that a great financial disaster can only be escaped by promptly making a large reduction in the army." AUSTRIA. The Ost-Deutsche Post, one of the most moderate of the Vienna papers, has been suppressed. The fol lowing notice was handed to the editor on the 9th instant:— ------- • " The Ost-Deutsche Post of the 7th of this month gives an article headed, The Occurrence in Kremsier ;' its contents are no less exciting and revolutionary than those of the foul-mouthed literature of the month of October. As such language would be inadmissible under common circumstances, it appears perfectly in compatible with the state of siege. "By inserting the article alluded to in the Ost. Deutsche Post edited by you, you have acted contrary to the conditions on which the re-appearance of that paper was accord, d on the 7th of December last. " This periodical is, therefore, at once suppressed by the express order of the Prime Minister, and will ac cordingly cease to appear from to-morrow. " WELDEN, Governor. " Vienna, Jan. 9th, 1849." According to the latest intelligence from Krem sier, the Chamber were about pronouncing a vote of want of confidence in the Ministry. The first article of the fundamental laws would most likely be adopted, against which Count Stadion had pro tested, as incompatible with the monarchical prin ciple. The Tcheques, the Left and Centre Left, were united against him. The fundamental laws that the Count had drawn up, had met with so much opposition that they had been withdrawn. It is believed the Cabinet will not give way, but will dissolve the Diet. It will then prepare a consti tution, and submit it to the Austrian Diet, to meet at Vienna on the Ist of May. According to the last accounts from Hungary, Comorn still holds out against the Imperialists. Kossuth, with his partisans, has withdrawn to Debrezin, whither also the Hungarian army, about 12,000 strong, has proceeded. On the 6th, the first corps (forme of the Imperial troops set out from Perth to the same destination. PRUSSIA. The Senate of Breslau, by judgment dated the Bth, has decided that the refusal to pay taxes does not con stitute a crime, and that, consequently, any one who excites another to do an act which is not criminal, cannot be considered guilty of anything reprehensible. FRAN KFORT. The Independance of Brussels, of Saturday, says:— " A private letter from Berlin, of the 9th, announces to us a fact of great importance—viz., that Prussia is not disposed to accept, purely and simply, the Constitution voted at Frankfort. It appears that she has declared that she nut approve the Constitution until it shall be submitted to a Chamber of States, representing the peculiar interests of the different German countries, and a council of Princes representing the interests of dynas ties. Our readers see, then, that the question of German unity becomes more complicated every day. Prussia, which was believed to be so near coming to an understanding with Frankfort against Austria, approaches by its last resolution the principle put forward by the latter power. It seems to us more than ever difficult for the National Assembly at Frankfort to triumph over the resistance it encounters, and cause its resolutions to prevail without taking into account the assent of particular states." The Chamber of Deputies of Mecklenburg has adopted the following resolution:—" The High As sembly of Deputies of the two Mecklenburghs recog nises the political necessity of conferring the Central Government of Germany on the Crown of Prussia, with hereditary succession!' M. Welker, the plenipotentiary of Baden, accre dited to the Central Government, has addressed the following note to the Central Power, in the name of his Sovereign : From the moment that Germany began to trans form itself into a federative state, his Royal Highness the Grand Duke has acquired the conviction that a united and well-governed Germaay could alone answer the wants of the nation, and the exigencie!, of the times. He has declared, in concert with the Diet of the country, and he declares agai n, that he is ready to make the same sacrifices which might be required of him anti of the other States of the Federation for the purpose of gaining the object the nation has in view. Faithful to these dispositions , his Royal Highness the Grand Duke does not hesitate openly to declare that, in 'case a single chief, even an hereditary one, be placed at the head of the German federative state, he will submit to him in all the great questions of the common German fatherland, in conformity with the enactments of the constitution, such as they will be definitively voted. In making this declaration, his Royal Highness the Grand Duke not only acts to the best of his judgment, as a German Prince, but fulfils one of his principal duties towards his own people, by striving, for his part, to prevent the failure of the great work of German unity, and to procure to his people the advantages of a great and powerful country. To promote the interior development of the moral and material prosperity of his country, will be the constant object of the efforts of his Royal Highness the Grand Duke, that the people of Baden may be a worthy member of the great German family." ITALY. The Milan Gazette of the sth announces officially the intention of convoking the Deputies of the Lom bardo-Venetian provinces of the Empire, in confor mity with the Ministerial programme of the 27th of November last, in which the integrity of the Mo narchy is laid down as its basis. GREECE. We have received Athens papers to the 28th of December. The budget had not been printed and distributed, but the estimate which it forms of the revenue and expenditure for the year is as follows : Revenue Expenditure Which leaves an access of re venue of Dr. 1,528,140 It appears, however, that in this estimate nothing is set down for the payment of either principal or interest of the loan. The Athens Courier, in noticing the budget, says— • • "If the reality should answer the provisions of our Ministers, we should have nothing to do but to cogratu late ourselves on the situation of our finances. Unhappily, all our budgets since 1844 have promised us a revenue exceening our expenses, which at end of the year have been converted into deficiencies. Besides this, the void iu the Treasury is there to pfotest against these Minis terial beatitudes. We do not doubt but that, if our finances were well administered, we might expect even better results; but, in the present state of thing, we fear very much that the present budget will resemble those which preceded it." The cholera has appeared in Thessaly and the Epirus, and precautions had been taken by the Go vernment to prevent it from spreading.

MONSTER COD.—There was brought ashore, by a crew of Buckie fishermen, on Wednesday last, a monster cod, measuring in length 42 inches, in girth 30} inches, and weighing 391bs. It was presented to a fish curer, as a Christmas present.—North British Daily POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WESTMEVSTER. As Mr. Broderip was about retiring last even. ing, a respectable looking man rushed into tour and requested to be allowed to speak to the magis trate for a moment. His request was immediately complied with, although it was long after the usual hour of closing the court, and he then hastily com municated to the magistrate the following frightful case of distress. He stated that a man and his wife who had been brought up very genteelly had en countered great reverses, and came with their family to lodge in a house belonging to applicant, in York street, Westminster. For a short time they endea voured to procure a subsistence, the mother by knit ting worsted cuffs, and the father, who had been a tchoolmaster, by writing small labels for shop win dows, both of which two of their children disposed of in the streets; but the slender profit derived from these sources was totally inadequate to supply the wants of their children; and, to fill up their cup of misery, both were taken ill a few days ago, and were unable longer to assist, in the slightest degree, themselves or children. Death had that morning released the poor man from his sufferings, and the picture their abode at that moment presented was frightful. Next to the poor man, who had breathed bis last in the whole of the few articles of wearing apparel he possessed, lay the wife, apparently in a dying state, without a bed or an article of clothing to cover her, food, or firing, with her six poor children, mourning in starvation the death of their father, and probable bereavement of their remaining parent. On being acquainted with these circumstances, applicant hastened to the work house of St. Margaret and St. John, Westminster, that afternoon, in order to make the authorities ac quainted with the matter, and implore them to ad minister to the extreme necessities of the afflicted mother and children, and perform the usual decencies to the deceased. All his attempts, however, to obtain an audience at either the workhouse or the relieving-office were unavailing. At the former the menials told him they were only servants, and could not interfere, and directed him to go round to the relief-office, where he knocked in vain, and having gone to and fro for nearly two hours, without the slightest chance of making the appalling condition of the family known, he had hastened to this Court in the hope that if he were successful in arriving before the Magistrate left, something would be done to alleviate their sufferings. Mr. 1311,0DERIP, who was evidently much affected, inquired whether applicant knew the nature of the disease of which the poor man bad died. Applicant replied, it was a sort of cramp, brought on, he too much feared, by starvation. in BRODERIP rose hastily from the bench, and addressing the chief usher, directed him to go imme diately to the house of affliction, not to lose a moment in doing so, as by prompt attention the poor woman might yet recover, to procure for her all the neces saries and comforts time would allow, to see that she had proper treatment in every respect, and let him know the expense. SOUTHWARK. Elizabeth Salter was brought up for re-examination, charged with robbing Mr. Charles Wade of a watch, gold guard-chain, and a coat, containing a purse with 41. 103. ' and Samuel Pudney, described as a builder, attended in discharge of his bail, as being concerned in the offence. Mr. Games attended on the part of the prisoner Pudney. The complainant stated that on Wednesday night he met the prisoner in the Waterloo-road, and accom panied her to a house in Cornwall-road. On entering a room in the house he deposited his purse and money, and also his watch and guard, in the pocket of his great coat for safety, and placed the garment on the back of a door in the apartment. He had not long been there before he missed the coat and its contents, and charged Salter with robbing him. She, however, denied the charge, and as he was apprehensive that he would be maltreated in the house, and could not open the room door, as it was locked, he commenced smash ing the windows to give the alarm. He, however, had not broken many panes of glass before Salter opened the door, and he then descended to the passage where he was met by the other prisoner, to whom he related that he had been robbed and mentioned the property; but instead of that person rendering him assistance, he remonstrated with him for breaking the windows, adding, at the same time, that he should protect the women from violence, and thereupon he seized complainant and attempted to push him out of the house into the street. A struggle took place be tween them, in the midst of which a policeman came l up, and both the prisoners were clamorous in charging him with breaking the windows and gave him into • custody on the charge. He (complainant) described the true nature of the case at the station-house, and I gave Salter in charge for robbing him of the property above enumerated, and on the following day, when the circumstances were brought under the considera tion of the M ag i s trate, Pudney, who was in attend , ance as a witness in Court, was ordered into custody for the part he had taken in the transaction. On that occasion the latter prisoner at first denied having any intimacy with Salter or a woman named Moreton, the landlady of the house, but upon being closely pressed on the point, he admitted that he had slept in the house, the landlady of which, he said, be became acquainted with as he passed along, having had some houses to repair in the street. He further said that he was a builder, and lived in Holborn, and declared that his only motive in interfering upon the occasion was, on hearing the noise of the window breaking, and being called upon by the landlady of the house and his fellow prisoner to protect them from the violence of the man that did the damage, and who, at the time, appeared to be in a state of great excitement. He also added, that he knew nothing of the robbery, and admitted that he and the complainant had a scu ffl e in the passage in his attempt to expel him from the house. Mr. COTTINGHAM inquired if the complainant's coat, or any of the property it contained, were traced since the last examination, and the reply was in the negative. A Mr. Nelson, who was in the complainant's com pany on the night in question, and parted with him shortly before the alleged robbery took place, proved that the former had his purse and money, and also his watch and guard chain when he left him. In the complainant's cross-examination by Mr. Games, he admitted that after he had quitted his friend INTr. Nelson, he went to the Feathers, and that it was after leaving that house that he met with Salter at Ch. , corner of Stamford street, anti a , conq , m cl 1)-r to the house where he was robbed. He had not been in the company of any other female but Salter; had no recollection of Salter leaving the room where they BIRTHS IN THE WEEK.

(From the London New Price Current of Jan. 16.) SUGAR.—To-day the proceedings in the Raw Sugar market were of a satisfactory nature, and it is quite evident that prices have not yet arrived at their highest point, as the demand for all purposes continues to get greater. West India was in excellent request for home trade purposes, and in some cases the rates ob tained are rather above those of Friday. At public :,ale 143 hhds 7 trcs Barbadoes went readily at firm, and in some instances at better rates; fine yellow re alised 41s to 41s 6d, good 39s to 40s 6d, low and mid dling 36s 6d to 38s 6d. 150 hhds 7 trcs 73 brls Trinidad, low yellow 36s 6d to 375, middling 38s, fine and pod brown 35s 6d to 365, middling 355, low 345 6d. 46 hhds St. Lucia, low yellow 365, good brown 35s to 35s 6d, and very low dark 335. The total quantity of Sugar sold to-day amounted to 940 hhds and trcs. Some holders will not sell at present rates. REFINED.—To-day former rates were well supported for Refined goods, and the home trade were desirous to make purchases. It is difficult to buy Standard Lump s under 505 per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is selling at 28s 6d to 295, and in some cases fine is held for 30s. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there were eight public sales of Bengal Sugar. consisting of 10,494 bags, when a good demand was experienced, and the chief portion sold upon full terms. Of Madras 3,559 bags were sold; good soft yellow 345, middling and low 31s to 335, ordi nary to good brown 28s 6d to 29s 6d, and fine 30s 6d to 31s per cwt. MAURITIUS to-day was in excellent demand, and the public sales of 6,935 bags went off with spirit at fully former terms; indeed mid yellow and strong grey realised 6d per cwt advance. FOREIGN.—To-day several inquiries existed for Fo reign Sugar, but there are still few sellers. By private treaty 200 tons low brown Manilla, in bond, at 14s 3d to 14s 9d. Small parcels of Havannah at 40s 6d for mid yellow, and at 38s 6d for brown. There was no public sale to-day. MOLASSES.—There are many buyers of West India, but holders asking much higher rates, operated mate rially against business. The value of low to fine quality is from 16s to 19s per cwt. COYPEE.—This afternoon there was less disposition manifested to do business in Native Ceylon, still lower rates were not acceded to. Of 1,650 bags offered at public sale, a small part only sold upon former terms; real good ordinary went at 355, good ordinary 34s to 34s 6d, damaged 30s to 33s 6d, and fourth class in bad 4 mtqatwrie 2 l ueaisr s Tdaor: condition 24s 6d. For Plantation the demand fell off, and of 1,965 bags 180 casks put up to the hammer, a small part only sold at rather lower rates. COCOA,—West India is more in favour for home con sumption, and stiffer rates are obtained.

To-day several parcels of Rum were TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 16, 1849. were, in Jane-street, but:that she might have done so I without his knowledge. A police sergeant stated that after the robbery, he proceeded to a house, No. 1, in Jane street, and was there informed by a man named Brown, that Pudney and the landlady of the house No. 4, in the same place, had been drinking there at the time of the robbery, and that he (Brown) heard the latter say that "Lizzy," meaning the female prisoner, had just picked up with a "swell," and had taken him into her house. The sergeant added, that he searched both houses, Nos. 1 and 4, but could not discover any of the property. Mr. Games said, that on the part of Pudney he disclaimed any concern in the robbery ; that he happened to be in the neighbourhood at the time, and interfered solely with the view to prevent any violence being resorted to when he heard the windows smash ing; that witnesses were in attendance to speak to the respectability of Pudney's character, and to show that a man in his condition of life was not likely to have acted in concert in robbing the complainant. Mr. COTTINGHIM said that the evidence, as it now stood, ju*tified him in sending the case before a jury, but as it was important to the ends of justice that the man Brown should attend, as well as to give further time for tracing the stolen property, he should remand the prisoners, but would accept of the same bail as he bad done on the former examination for Pudney's appearance to answer the part he took in the trans action. The prisoners were accordingly remanded until next Monday. THAMES. Six boys, named Thomas Haggerty, Charles Macarthy, John Cassidy, Charles Farrell, Thomas Reardon, and Thos. Dogherty, sons of Irish parents, whose ages varied between thirteen and seventeen, were brought before Mr. Secker, charged with steal ing rope on the Thames. It appeared from the evidence of Inspectors Fox, Griffin, and Bridges, of the Thames police, that organized gangs of boys were constantly prowling about the river and pilfering anything they could lay their hands on, and that they hired boats for the pur pose of carrying on their depredations, between sun set and sunrise. Numerous convictions had taken place at the police-courts, and at the sessions, but the number of young thieves did not appear to diminish. The prisoners were detected, at an early hour on Sunday morning, in the pool, in two boats, with a quantity of rope which they had pilfered. One boat containing Haggerty, Macarthy, and Cassidy, con tained the rope tender belonging to the Pike schooner, which had been cut away, in the ccurse of the night, and was identified by the mate of the vessel. The remainder of the rope could not be identified. The officers stated that all the prisoners had been summarily convicted, and some of them had been in custody again very recently on suspicion. Dogherty's last conviction took place in July, 1847. The prisoners generally conducted themselves in a very audacious manner, and said the River police would not let them get an honest living. Mr. SECKER said the police could not hinder them from doing that, and they would find it to their ad vantage to return to honest courses. It was lament able that so many young thieves should be in the dock charged with serious offences, and it was painful for him to deal with such cases. He must visit all the prisoners with further punishment. He sentenced Haggerty, Macarthy, and Cassidy each to two months' imprisonment and hard labour, Farrell to one month, Reardon to twenty-one days, and Dogherty, who had not been heard of for eighteen months, to seven days' imprisonment only. THE TOOTING CHOLERA CASES. Mr. Wakley held an inquest yesterday, at Chelsea workhouse, on five children named Kellick, Ridgway, Hartley, Ingar, and Pollington, removed from Mr. Drouet's pauper establishment at Tooting, where they had died of cholera. In the course of the proceedings it wits elicited that the Chelsea guardians have 105 pauper children still at Tooting, and that ten children from Chelsea had died at Mr. Drouet's. The CORONER observed that he had heard very bad ac counts.—Mr. Popham said that there had been no true case of cholera at Tooting since Saturday ; the cases were mostly consecutive fever. The Coroner—How many deaths have you had at Tooting altogether ? Mr. Popham—Over 100. I cannot exactly say. The Coroner —Yes, a great many more than that—more than 130. Mr. Popham—The number of deaths there have been in the ratio of lin 2/ of those attacked. The Coroner — How many parishes have their children at the Tooting establishment now? Mr. Drouet replied that there were the children of only three parishes now with him, viz , St. Georges-in-the-East, St. Luke's, Chelsea, and Clerken well. All the remainder belonging to other parishes were the sick. John Kellick examined—Was a labourer, and now an inmate of Chelsea workhouse. His two children were sent to Tooting from that workhouse about nine weeks back. They were then as healthy girls as they could wish to see. The age of the elder child was eleven years, and that of the deceased nine years. He visited them first at Tooting about six weeks back, and then was more satisfied with their appearance than when in Chelsea workhouse. When he saw the children he was not allowed to see them in private. The children were seat out into the lodge to see him, and the porter and some other officers of the establishment were there. — By the Coroner—l did not ask to be permitted to see them privately and alone. I again saw them on my last monthly Sunday out, and I then asked them if they had sufficient to eat there, and they answered "No." I took them down three allowances of pudding, which my wife had bought here, and two allowances of bread and butter, and although the children had just had their dinner they were so hungry that they ate the whole of it. They said they did not get enough to eat there, and they wished they were at home, meaning back at the Chelsea workhouse. I did not complain to the Chelsea guardians that my children had not enough to eat at Tooting. Had I done so I might have met with worse treatment than I have done. When I went the second time I found that as well as not having had enough to eat the younger one was eaten up with the itch. I was there last Sunday week, and then thought my children looked well; but that was the time they were dying. On the following Thursday I received notice that my child was ill, and on going to Tooting the same day I found the deceased in one of the sick wards, and very sadly. I remained in the ward with her for two hours. I have been down there several times since. I saw no medical gentleman attend upon my child, or any other, all the time I was there. Mr. Kite—Do you mean to say you never saw me? Witness—Yes, I saw you and that gentleman (Mr. Popham), but not attending my child. I think there were about fifteen children in the ward where my child was. Coroner—Did you ask to see the medical men about your child? Witness—l did not. lam positive I saw no medicine administered either by the nurses or the medical men. When I came back I sent in a petition with four others, to the board, to say that we would find lodgings for our children in the parish, if the guardians would let them come away from Tooting, and Lind them in food. The answer was, that the guar dians had decided that the children should all remain at Tooting, and it could not be allowed, The foreman— Do you know if there is any complaint of the food at Tooting now? Witness—No, there is not. The children say they have plenty of food now, since this has broken out. The Coroner—lf the guardians have allowed their children to remain at Tooting, no doubt they had good reason for doing so. In doing so, however, they must be aware they have involved themselves in a vast amount of responsibility. It is not assumed that a wrong has been done; but, if there has, it will be a portion of the duty of the jury to investigate who are the authors of that wrong. Maria Inger said she was the mother of the deceased Sarah Ingar, and saw her dio at the Tooting Asylum at four o'clock on Saturday morning last, after an illness of twenty-four hours. She had great pains and cramps in the stomach, and had mustard poultices and other reme dies applied, and medicines administered by the medical gentleman. Deceased had been at Tooting about eight weeks, and on remarking that she looked very pale the last time she saw her, she complained that she was kept out in a cold yard. By the Coroner—l saw her in the lodge, but I had no opportunity of speaking to her in private. I did not notice that she was scantily clothed except about the neck and shoulders. On Friday night, after she was taken ill, I asked her if she had sufficient food, and she said, " No, mother; I did not get food enough," and she then told me she had . bought bread of one of the nurses, with some halfpence 'I had given her. On the Friday evening nothing was given her but brandy and water. Mr. William Horn Popham deposed that he was a member of the Royal College of Surgeons. He had attended the deceased, George Hartley from Tuesday last, when he was first attacked, until the ti me o f hi s death, on the morning of Friday last, the 12th instant. His case presented all the usual symptoms of cholera, and he died in a state of collapse. By the Coroner — Witness was sent to the Tooting establishment by the board of directors of the poor of St. Pancras, at the suggestion of the Board of Health, to attend the boys belonging to the parish. Ho saw also most of the other patients, as he went occasionally into all the other wards, as well as that in which the St. Pancras children were placed. Mr. Baillie, Mr. Penn, and Mr. Phillips were also surgeons in attendance on the children. Mr. WALKEY then, addressing Mr. Popham , said — You have now, Mr. Popham, been called to prove the c: y u , se bu o t f tbhye andd eath by of y o o n u e owfiltlhbeedefcueratsbeedr, examined e e H d Hart ley, upon to state what is your opinion as to the cause of this calamity; and it is therefore essentially neces sary that you should be present during the whole of the inquiry, so that you may know and make yourself ac eqvuiadienntoeedgwivitehmall the facts of the case developed by the Mr. Popham said he was desirous of explaining on e circumstance, which was rather important. Amongst the facts which have gone forward before the public, Mr. Grainger, in his evidence given at the inquest held on Friday last, at the Free Hospital, stated th at th e pa tients had lain five in a bed. He (Mr. P o sham) had given Mr. Grainger that information under an erroneous impression that it was a fact, but he had subsequently a5l-ertained, that where he supposed that to be the case, it was a fact that a board had been placeed between two beds for the purpose of making an additional bed for a patient, which made it appear that five were in a bed. Thp CORONER then observed that the inirtiry hail how tlie point et which it w , ) , 114:1 be Lt.., should be adjourned. There would be two questions into which they would have to inquire. The first was as to how this calamity had originated, and, secondly, as to non-removal of the children belonging to Chelsea from Tooting, which would require to be most fully gone into; and he supposed that some of the members of the board of guardians would, ut the proper time, be able to state the reasons which induced them to deter mine on con'inning them there to the present time. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and, after a lapse of about half an hour, the public were re-ad mitted, when, The CORONZR said it would be necessary that this inquest should be adjourned until after that held at the Free Hospital was concluded, so as to prevent the two clashing together. He proposed to take the Free Hos pital inquest on Tuesday and Wednesday next, and it would no3t probably be held on the following Tuesday. He would, therefore, suggest that this inquiry should be adjourned until after that time. The Foreman of the jury (Mr. Martin) said they had found that the board of guardians had up to the present time sent no medical man to take the especial care of the children belonging to that parish, and the jury had in consequence of that fact, while the room had been closed, at the suggestion of the Coroner, resolved to suggest to the guardians present their unanimous wish that the children now remaining :at Tooting should be removed home to Chelsea. Mr. Fielder (Vice-Chairman of the Board of Guar dians) rather warmly advocated the course the board had adopted in keeping the children at Tooting. , Mr. Ryder (the Chairman) said he would tell the fore man and the jury why the board had come to the con clusion they had done. They believed that the outbreak had been caused by the excessive overcrowding of the establishment, and the want of proper ventilation ; and there being after the removal of the other children plenty of room and plenty of nurses and medical men in attendance, which was not the case at first, they deter mined oa the non-removal of the Chelsea children. The children had also now food of a superior quality, and the board were, therefore, of opinion that as they could not find any place in Chelsea in which upwards of 100 per sons could be placed, it would be better to keep them where they were at present. A juryman said he bad seen a family of five children a day or two since which had come from Tooting, and such objects he had never before seen, for they appeared half starved.—The inquiry was then adjourned. In St. Pancras yesterday, Mr. Mills resumed the in quiry upon the cases of the children brought from Toot ing, who died in St. Pancras Workhouse. The inqaest was again adjourned. The following are the official reports forwarded to the Board of Health with respect to the continuance of the cholera at Tooting and elsewhere:— " Surrey-hall, Tooting, Jan. 15. Death from cholera Deaths from the consecutive fever of cholera ... Under treatment ... 84 Convalescent ... ... 79 " No new cases of cholera have occurred, but there are two of disordered bowels. " W. J. KITE, Resident Surgeon." The following is the report of Mr. Bird, the surgeon of St. Pancras Cholera Hospital, to the directors of the poor, yesterday:— " Temporary Hospital, St. Pancras, Jan. 15. "I am happy to have again to make a very favourable report as to the children; there have been no fresh cases or deaths, and upon the whole there seems to be a gene ral improvement. " The three patients reported last in a state of collapse have passed from that stage of the disorder, and, I think, with every appearance of teir ultimate recovery. " Number attacked ... ... 128 Deaths ... Remaining under treatment ... Collapse Convalescent ... 10 •... 109 " HENRY BIRD, Surgeon." The report received from Touting from Mr. Popham, the medical officer sent down thither by the parish of St. Pancras, is as follows: " Mr. Drouet's Establishment, Tooting, Jan. 15. " I am happy to say that the improvemen6 in the state of affairs at Mr. Drouet's establishment has been so greet as not to require my attendance there after to morrow. There is not a single case of cholera now in the esta blishment. " W. H. POPHAM." THE FIRE IN LINCOLN'S INN. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. No fire that has occurred in the metropolis since the one at Paper-buildings, in the Temple, about eleven years ago, has created greater interest than that of Sunday morning last, in New square, Lincoln's Inn-fields. The oldest firemen can scarcely remember a fire of similar magnitude burning for so long a period. Although the engines were kept at work during the whole of Sunday night and yesterday, there remained at seven o'clock last evening a considerable body of fire in the basement, and also in the walls of the building. The engines were obliged, at that hour, to be kept at work upon the ruins. During yesterday forenoon, whilst the firemen were em ployed upon this fire, a number of parties came running with information that another had broken out in Chan cery-lane. One of the engines was immediately taken there, when it was ascertained that some of the burning flakes had been wafted by the wind upon the roof of the Law Chambers, No. 77, in the lane, and having melted the gutter plate, had come in contact with the timber underneath, and fired the roof. When the brigade ar rived the flames were raging with such fury that the two roofs at the least were in great danger of being consumed. With the aid, however, of plenty of water, the fire was extinguished, but not before considerable damage was done by fire and water. During yesterday Mr. Braidwood, the Superintendent of the London Fire Establishment, was on the ruins, giving directions to the firemen and superintending the removal of what property could be found. An inspec tion of the place was also made, with the view of ascer taining the cause of the disaster, but up to the present time without the least success. Mr. Loder, the head engineer of the Farringdon-street Brigade, has been en gaged during the whole day in searching after deeds and other documents known to be within the ruins, and where they were sufficiently cooled to allow of search being made, many things of considerable value have been recovered. The deeds and important documents lost are enormous, although the firemen were enabled, during yesterday morning to rescue from the ruins a vast number of papers and useful documents belonging to Messrs. Jones, Bate man, and Bennett. Not fewer than nine of Marr's fire proof boxes were taken outlof the basement, where they had fallen from the first floor, and upon opening them the deeds and other documents were found uninjured. This is exceedingly fortunate, as the papers had refer ence to property of considerable value. The account books belonging to the same firm, with several drawers, filled with important writings, have been taken out of the premises slightly injured, but a great number of tin boxes, containing legal parchments, &c., have been en tirely destroyed. The firm of Messrs. Jones, Bateman, and Bennett— one of the oldest and most extensive in the Inn—have strong grounds for supposing that some of the deeds, &c., left in their custody, will be recovered. Mr. Peter Erie has also succeeded, with the aid of the firemen, in recovering many papers and important docu ments. The moment Mrs Justice Erie heard of the misfortune he hastened to the scene, and accompanied his brother into the ruins, where they assisted in the , rescue of several documents. Mr. Hudson, one of the gentlemen on the basement floor, was insured for 300/. in the West of England Fire Office. One book alone in the chamber, he e,tiniates us being worth full that sum. From the fact of a row or books being now seen on one side of the chamber—pro bably 200 or 300 in number—there is ground for sup posing that the valuable volume alluded to may be amongst them. Some time must, however, elapse before the firemen will be able to enter that portion of the pre mises to make a search. Mr. Hetherington, a barrister of great practice, on the other hand, has lost everything his chambers con tained ; and so has Mr. Kettle, another eminent burls , ter. This gentleman had a most narrow escape. He slept on the ground floor, at the back of the premises, and, before any alarm was given in the front, he was awakened by hearing a slight noise like the dripping of water in the next room. He immediately jumped out of bed, and, on opening his door, he found the passage full of smoke, of such a suffocating nature, that he could not pass through. He then ran to another door, and found that the fire was breaking into the passage, so that his escape in that direction was also cut off. He next made for one of the windows, but his escape was in that direction almost hopeless ; for had he jumped down, he would then have had to climb up a wall twelve or fourteen feet high. Not knowing what to do for the best, Mr. Kettle sat upon the window sill, whe he remained calling " Fire, " and " Help " for up wards of an hour, during which time the flames broke , through the door of his room, and destruction looked him in the face. At length, however, a lamplighter's ladder was brought, and by its aid he managed to effect a retreat. His opinion is that the fire must have occurred in the area floor, immediately under Mr. Hetherington's chambers. During the day the following surveyors connected with the fire-offices visited the ruins, in order to find out the extent of the property that was insured:—Mr. Top lie, of the Sun; Mr. Belton, of the Licensed Victuallers; Mr. Jury, of the Imperial; aid Mr. Sabine, of the Lon don Fire Office. From the inquiries made they ascer tained that Mr. Sergeant was insured in the Westminster Fire Office; Mr. Marquis, in the Law; Messrs. Jones, Bateman, Bennett, in the Westminster; Mr. Pitman, in the same office; Mr. Hallett, in the Legal and Commer cial; Mr. Clarke, in the Westminster; Mr. Bridges, in the same; Mr. Freeling, in the Imperial; Mr. White, in the Westminster; Mr. Peter Erle, in the Sun; Mr. Kettle, in the Licensed Victuallers; Mr. Hetherington, in the Sun—but neither Mr. Campbell, Mr. Wallace, nor Mr. Burnett, were insured for a single penny. The houses on either side have sustained much less damage than was at first expected. At half-past nine last evening it was still deemed ne cessary to continue playing upon the ruins. to: NOVEL PROPELLER FOR STEAM-VESSELS.—Lieu tenant-Colonel Sir T. Livingston Mitchell has secured a patent for a new form for the screw propeller of vessels. The inventor had observed the peculiar motion of the " bommareng," in its rotatory motion through the air, that of whirling round a hollow centre, leaving a vacant centre of gravity; and it suggested itself to him, that this centre might be in a line dividing the two eccentric parts, so that they should be together equal to the re mqining central portion; on experiment this view was co ;firmed, and he considers an angle, similar to that of " bommareng" will prove the best form for the ap plication of the screw principle in propelling vessels. Motion is communicated as usual to the shaft, and the blade of the propeller may he made with oiie side con vex, and the other flat, or with two flat or kit) eutivi.x sides: when mode Hat, it will chamfer the edges. It may be constructed with more than one blade; but it is con sidered one will auswer better than two or more.— Mining Journa6 Barley Oats _ Malt Chevalier ...

Solomons , opticians, have invented Spectzele Lenses, of the greatest transparent power. The valuabl- advantage derived from this inv,ntion over the Spects.cles now in common use is, that instead of vision becoming strained, heated, ~eakened, and in numerous cases seriously injured, it is preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons are enabled to 4mploy their sight at the most minute occu pation, and can see with those Lenses of a much less magnifying power, and that which is a matter of the greatest consequence is that they do not require the frequent change to further helps. Also, Achromatic Telescopes, Opera Glasses, Microscopes, invisible and ail kinds of Acoustic Instruments, for relief of extreme deafness. Caution—Messrs. S. and B.
