I've ven o t . a ntship to 31 Th a e de S al ng 'tls one that the fair will discuss, ventured call t•• w h ose it. The story runs thus:— And every one season is now near at ham', other day at St. Martin's-le-Grand ; On st. account of tknheetewinwkhnonmditthwe as leer by of -th hi e s -b ey y e e . • Valentine's dress was remarkably smart, And the buttons that decked it were stamped with a heart. On reaching the principal Post-office pile, St. Valentine entered its doers with a smile, And thus he inquired as a servant drew near, " If you please is the Marquis of Clanricarde here ?" " Yes he is," said the page, as he stared very hard, "If so," said St. Valentine, take him my card." The card and the Clanricarde very soon met, And the Marquis's stare I shall never forget. " You'll conduct him this way," said his Lordship to John, And back came the man with the livery on. I need not describe how the gentlemen met, You're aware that they both understand etiquette. " I've called, my Lord Marquis, and pardon me, pray, Concerning yourself and St. Valentine's day. Bach thousands of love-letters then will be written, By ladies and gentlemen all ever Britain, That a hundred new hands I am sure will be needed, In order that business may not be impeded. Your Lordship must know (said the match-making one), That the increase is owing to MOSES and SON. I need not inform you that love's tender passion Is often awakened by matters of fashion ; Many thousands of ladies feel love's warming Are Through fist of all noticing STYLISH ATTIRE. Yes, many a lady I've proved has been won By the torm.decking raiment of MOSES and SON. For instance, I knew a Miss Dorothy Dote, Who first learned to love on account of a coat ; The fit was so true, and the style was so smart, That the fair lest her heart through MOSES' famed Mart. I knew a ease even stranger than that, Where Patty the pretty was won by A HAT. 'Twas MOSES and SON'S, and the Hat was so natty, So stylish and good, that it overcame Patty ; Insomuch as the pretty one oftentimes said That the owner, she knew, had a sensible head. THE BOOTS MADE BY MOSES, Which fit so exact, Like loadstones, are oftentimes known to attract. And many strange things I have known come to pass, With a tend-looking boot and a good-looking lass. With regard to the opposite sex 'tis the same, Ladles' dress very often enkindles the flame. MOSES' FURS, Se attractive in style to beholders, Werra gentlemen's bosoms as well as fair shoulders. Many thousands on both sides are constantly smitten, And galores of epistles are now being written." " I'm aware," said his Lordship, " that much has been done In matters of love by E. MOSES and SON. And, Sir, I will carry out all that you say, With regard to more hands on St. Valentine's Day." Here Saint Valentine bowed, as he bid his adieu, And so did the Postmaster-General, too. A new work, entitled " The Treasury of Taste," containing a de 'Ailed list of prices for each department, with full directions for self measurement, may be had en application, or forwarded post-free.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE. LONDON. Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, en the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, han any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whetter acquired In early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of usease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the asedical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA.'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas ertify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a tuarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

THE FIRE IN SPITALPIELDS.—After viewing the bodies of the victims by the late fire on the afternoon of Saturday, the coroner adjourned the further inquest till this day (Monday). DANGER or DELAY.—On Saturday last, at twenty minutes to five o'clock in the afternoon, instructions were received at Southampton, by electric telegraph, to seize a man named George Johnson, who had come by train from London to embark for Havre, having in his possession 3,0001. in gold. and 2,960/ in notes, the pro perty of Messrs. Biden and Co., of London. A message was transmitted back to London that he had embarked on board the Wonder, which had left Southampton at half-past four. A person was left at the station at Lon don to receive any reply that might be returned. The unnecessary delay prevented our superintendent, Mr. Leggatt, from receiving information upon the subject un til ten minutes to seven o'clock. At that time Mr. Leg gatt received a messag e to stop George Johnson, having in his possession th e property above-named, and who had embarked on board the Havre steamer, but no de scription whatever was given of his dress or person. The vessel, however, had passed Spithead an hour before, and pursuit would have been fruitless. Had the communi cation been made direct from Southampton to Ports mouth, without transmitting a reply first to London, it would have arrived here at a quarter to five; Mr. Leggatt could then have reached Spithead a quarter of an hour before the Wonder, and George Johnson and the money would have been in his safe keeping.—Hampshire Guardian.

A robbery of a very mysterious character has been perpetrated on the directors of the poor of St. Pancras, by the abstraction, on Thursday evening, of the sum in silver of 1551., and 201. in gold, making a total of 1751., which had been deposited in the " strong room" of the newly erected vestry-rooms adjoining the workhouse, in the King's-road, Camden-town. This money had been deposited in the place from which it was taken for the purpose of paying the permanent weekly poor on Friday, and it was not until the assembling of the board on Friday m ornin g that the robbery was discovered. The following facts relating to this acrair mn 437 b e re lied upon as accurate: — In order that the plans for effecting the robbery may be perfectly understood, a slight description of the building known as the new vestry rooms is necessary. The front of the building faces the west, where of course is situate the principal entrance; imme diately on entering which, on the right hand, is a passage leading to the closets and wash-hand stands, from which there is a small window looking into the front court-yard. On the left, as you enter the building, is a passage and door leading down a flight of steps into a front garden of the workhouse, and immediately ad joining the lodge at the workhouse gate. This door is invariably kept locked, and the key deposited with Mr. M`Gahey, the vestry clerk, and clerk to the directors of the poor, and kept by him in his private room to pre vent communication between the vestry rooms and the workhouses. From the grand entrance is a long wide passage with apartments opening from it on either side, used as offices for the vestry clerk, the accountant, and various officers employed in administering relief to the poor; the vestry clerk's public office being No. . 3 on the left-hand side, and his private room communicating with the public office by a door in the south-eastern corner. At the extreme end of the main passage eastward is the " strong room," a large fire-proof vault, entered from the passage by a massive iron door. In this was a cup board, or rather four cupboards in one piece, and in these it was the practice to deposit the cash brought from the bank for weekly disbursements. It appears that, as was customary, Mr. M'Gahey, the clerk to the board, accompanied by his son, a young man about twenty years of age, who acts as clerk in his office, proceeded on Thursday afternoon to fhe Blooms bury branch of the London and Westminster Bank, and brought away the sum of 1554 in silver, in three bags, and 501. in notes. Mr. M`Glahey had previously placed the 20/. in gold in the cash box, and on their arrival at the vestry rooms (keeping the notes in his pocket) he went away, leaving his son in the office to count the silver, in which he was assisted by another clerk, Mr. Plews. Mr. M'Gahey, jun., stated that when he had counted the money he went into his father's private room, and took from the drawer of the inkstand on the table the key of the " strong room," this being the place where it was usually kept, a fact known, it is stated, by all the officers of the establishment. Having got the key, he went and deposited the money in the cupboard in the " strong room," locked the door, and put the key back in the place in the:inkstand drawer in his father's room. It must be here remarked that it was the custom of Mr. M'Gahey, jun., to request Mr. Plews to assist him in placing the money away in the " strong room ;" but on this occasion he did not do so. The first discovery of the robbery on Friday morning was occasioned by the demand of the board for money to pay the poor, and the absence of the key of the " strong room" from the drawer of the inkstand. The " strong room" door was found locked, and a duplicate key having been obtained, it was opened, and it was then discovered that the cupboard referred to had been broken open, as also the cash box therein, and the silver and gold to the amount stated stolen. Information was instantly forwarded to the police-station of the S divi sion in Phenix-street, Somers Town; and on the arrival of Inspector M'lntosh and Police constable Lockerby (employed as one of the detective men of the division), an investigation took place, and the following suspicious facts presented themselves. In the " strong room there were no traces of any implements, nor had there been any violence used to the lock ;of the iron door. The door of the vestry clerk's office was found unlocked, as was also the private room of Mr. M'Gahey; and on search being made, not only was the key of the " strong room" gone, but the key also which opened the door leading from the vestry room into the work house garden. Whilst this investigation was proceeding Mr. Jaques, the chief clerk in Mr. M`Gahey's office, had occasion to go to the closets, and to his astonishment found the outer door from the passage locked, a circum stance which created great astonishment, it having been known that no key had ever been in that door for two months past. Another key, however, was found, and on this door being opened the window alluded to as looking into the court yard in front of the building was found half open, and on the washhand stand immediately under it were found, ranged all in a row, the key of the " strong room," which had been taken from the vestry clerk's inkstand, the key of the door leading into the workhouse garden, the key of the outer door to the closets (found locked), together with a regular "jemmy," or thieves' crowbar, and a screw driver. On the window sill were discovered tour finger marks of each hand, but, on minute inspection, the officers are convinced that these had been made from the inside, but were intended to lead to a belief that the robber had made his exit by getting out and dropping from from the win dow—a circumstance rendered impossible with the sum of 1551. in silver on his person. Mr. M'Gahey, jun., states that when he deposited the money in the " strong room" he immediately went, after locking the door, and placed the key where he found it, and then left the premises, the time being, to the best of his belief, about a quarter past six o'clock. There is some doubt about which of the beadles locked up the place, but the last person in the vestry clerk's office was Mr. Jaques, the chief clerk, and he, it appears, recollecting after he had got out into the road that he had not locked the office door, told Lamb, the porter at the gate of the workhouse, to go up and do so, but which Lamb omitted through forgetfulness, not thinking, as he states, at the moment that it was of particular importance, as he had known the vestry clerk's door left unlocked many times l c a l s a t r o k ffi e, ce o r ne kn o o r w t n he to vi h s a it v i e ng be a e g n e o n n o th o e f to his office o n t h e b asement . is stated to h ave l e f t b y t h e l ow er lod ge had no money to pay the p oor , w h o h a d assem bl e d i n s of this robb ery t h e b oar d of directo rs gt haeltn previously. oc premiseslooernaconsequence and . hundreds, and they had to remain till the necessary amount was procured from the banker's by Mr. T. IL Smith, a member of the board, from his own account. A special meeting of the board of directors tock place on Saturday afternoon, at three o'clock, when an in• vestigation, lasting several hours, was entered into. 'l2'„ e meeting was held with closed doors, but, from wh a t has transpired, suspicion points very strongly to some of the officers of the establishment, although everything was very cleverly done to make it appear to have been the act of a stranger and regular housebreaker. In order to strengthen this view of the case, four or five skeleton keys were thrown into the garden fronting the-house, No. 15, Cook's-row, Old St. Pancras-road, about three doors from the front of the vestry rooms, where they were picked up on Saturday morning, and handed over to Dickerby, the detective constable, by Mrs. Tiffin, the niece of one of the beadles, who keeps the house, and who found them there. These keys, on being tried by the officers, were found to open almost every door in the place. Up to a late hour on Saturday evening nothing had transpired to lead to the discovery of the delinquent. RI O A T U u R S D A y CH._A Ver y extraordinary A degreeP RAPE of excitement has been occasioned in this usually quiet village, during the past week, owing to the apprehension of a gentleman practising as a solicitor in this place, on a charge of rape, preferred against him by a young-lady holding the situation of companion to his wife. The complainant's name is Maria O'Grady. She is the daughter of Lieutenant O'Grady, who was shot in a duel, about twelve years since, by Captain Smith, brother of the Princess of Capua. After Lieutenant O'Grady's decease, his widow married Mr. Waghorn, a brick and tile manufacturer, of Ewell, in Surrey. This alliance proved very unhappy, and about two years since a separation took place between the parties. Mrs. Waghorn, some time afterwards, being greatly re duced, applied to the guardians of the Epsom Union for relief, and her case exciting , some interest, Mr. Oades, of Banstead, charitably received the complainant (her daughter) into his f am il y , as a nursery governess. Miss O'Grady remained in Mr. Oades' family only a very short period,and when that gentleman desired to remove her, he applied to Mr. Thomas Henry Bartlett, a solicitor, practising at Ep som, who had been employed professionally by Mrs. Waghorn in some proceedings she had taken against her husband, to know where her mother resided, in order that Miss O'Grady might be sent to her. Mr. Bartlett, a married man without any family, did not furnish Mr. Oades with the desired information, but at once under took to receive the young lady in his own house. Here Miss O'Grady appears to have remained for some time, in the capacity of companion to Mrs. Bartlett. In No vember last, during the absence of Mrs. Bartlett from home, the offence preferred is alleged to have taken place. Miss O'Grady states, in her deposition taker. fore IBaron de Tessier, Mr. Northey, and Mr. Gosse, magistrates acting for the district, that on the night of the Gth of November, while sleeping alone, she was alarmed by discovering Mr. Bartlett in bed with her, and that in spite of her expostulations and entreaties he succeeded in accomplishing her ruin. She adds that the next morning she complained of Mr. Bartlett's con duct to a servant, the only female in the house. With in one week of this date, Miss O'Grady was sent to Liverpool by Mr. Bartlett, and in consequence of the parties to whom she was sent not being discovered, she communicated with her mother, and her return to town was the result. The conduct of Mr. Bartlett then be came the subject of inquiry, and on Monday last, a formal complaint having been made to the magistrates, after due consideration a warrant was issued for his apprehension. The warrant was placed in the hands of Mr. Inspec tor Kennedy, the chief officer of the district, who ap prehended Mr. Bartlett at the railway station, on his re turn from town the same evening. Mr. Bartlett remained in custody on Monday night ; and on the following day appeared before the magistrate, when, after hearing the evidence of the complainant, the bench decided on hold ing the defendant to bail, himself in 3001., and two sure ties in 150/. each _ It is necessary here to state, that the female servant to whom Miss O'Grady first complained was not present at this examination, and it appears that she was sent away from Mr. Bartlett's service simultaneously with Miss O'Grady's departure for Liverpool. The efforts of the officers to discover her destination have, as yet, been wholly unsuccessful. Mr. Bartlett will be brought up for examination on Tuesday next.— Weekly Dispatch. THE! RECRIVT MAIL ROBBERIES ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAIL WAY. On Thursday last the Right Worshipful" the Mayor, assisted by the following Magistrates, Samuel Kingdon, Esq., Dr. Pennell, G. C. Holroyd, Esq , W. Kennaway, Esq., H. Hooper, Esq., and E. Woolmer, Esq., held an examination at the city gaol, in the case of Poole and Nightingale, charged with robbing the mail train on the Great W estern Railway. Mr. Mountford and Mr. George Turner attended on the part of the Post office authorities; and Mr. Willes ford for the prisoners. The first witness examined was Mr. S. M. Cox, at torney, residing in Lower Northenhay-street, in this city. He stated that on the evening of the Ist of Ja nuary he came up from Dawlish to Exeter by the mail train. He had taken his seat in a first-class carriage, which was divided into two compartments. In the divi sion with witness was another gentleman, but there ' was no one in the other division. On the arrival of the train at Starcross the outer door of the carriage next the platform was opened. Two men came in, passed through the division in which witness was, and went into the second compartment. They closed the division door after them, and pulled down the blind. The se cond of the two wore a Jim Crow hat, moustaches, and a dark cloak. No other person then got into that com partment. The train proceeded to Exeter. On its ar rival at the Exeter station, in order to get out, witness had to pass through the division in which the two men were. As he opened the division•door for this purpose, one of the two men opened the side carriage door and went out before witness on the platform, so that he did not see his face sufficiently to recognise him again. The other man was ',lying back in the seat, which enabled witness to see his face, for the man looked steadfastly , at him. This was the one with the moustaches. Wit ness also looked intently at him, with the thought that he recognised his face He thought nothing more of it at the time; but afterwards, when he saw the prisoner Poole taken to the Guildhall, he identified him as the man whom he had seen in the carriage with the Jim Crow hat and the moustaches. Witness had previously seen Poole about his own neighbourhood. He also re collected having seen him once in the market. Thought it was the Thursday before Christmay-day, but was not clear about it. Had no doubt that Poole was the man whom he saw in the railway carriage. Elizabeth Towel!, daughter of a plasterer residing in Exe Island, in this city, stated that she was now living in the service of Mrs. Hawkins, in Castle-terrrace, St. David's. She had been lately servant to the prisoner Poole, who then resided at No. 1, St. Petrock's-terrace, St. David's. Left his service on Wednesday, the 31st January, after having lived in it four months. Witness had seen the prisoner Nightingale at her master's house two or three times. The last time she saw him there was on the Sunday night before Poole was apprehended. He rang at the door, and she answered the bell, when he asked for her master. She inquired his muse, and he replied that his name was Mr. Smith. She :old Poole of it, who then went to the door. She left then talking together, and did not see Nightingale enter the house. She remembered being at the Guildhall on the morning after the night on which her master was apprehended. She first saw him in the cell at the back of the Guild hall. Poole asked her what she was wanted for. She replied that she was wanted to know if she could iden tify the man that was with him. Poole then said, "You don't know anything?" She said , "No, sir." Nothing more passed between them that day. In a conversation between witness and Mrs. Poole, respecting her ability to identify Nightingale, the latter told her that it was impossible for her to identify Nightingale, as sae had only seen him by candle-light. Mrs. Poole h a d a l to to ld her that if she said anything against her master she would never prosper. These were all the additional witnesses, and their de positions having been taken, the inquiry doted.— . Exeter and Plymouth Gazette. that a s ts appearing b l e . who l o ck e d t h em innocent.

Hough wanted to go back to Chorley, but a bell ringing, Beech said it was to call out the police. Hough said if he could send word to his wife, she would find the money to go away with. Beech offered to find a place to stop in for a day or two ; and to re-assure Hough, whose faith in Beech seemed to waver, he repeated, unvarying, his previous tale. Hough said, " Well, now I believe you, but you looked so like a policeman at first, I could not open my mind ; you're a decent chap, so let us go towards Deanchurch." Beech took him over hedge, ditch, and brook for two miles. Hough said it was God's will to send Beech to help his escape, and he had been praying to God all night; and they would have many a laugh at their escape when on the ocean. He then pretended to open his mind to Beech, and brought him to a plantation near Lady Bridge, where he said that his share of the money was hidden; two navigators having agreed with him about the tale of the robbery, they getting a share of the spoil. Hough asked Beech to stop on the hill, while he went down to the plantation for the money. Beech would not, and the prisoner then searched about for two hours, but said he could not find the money. They then agreed to return to Bolton, and at the Robin Hood, Hough pretended to go to the end of the house ; Beech, on turning round, saw he had jumped over a hedge and a low wall, and was flying off. Beech pursued and secured him, avowing himself to be a police•officer. The pri soner was confounded, and voluntarily agreed to show Beech the spot where the sovereigns were deposited. The officer sent for a cab, and at daybreak the prisoner pointed out the spot, and the sergeant got the money. The prisoner has been committed for trial. COALS IN THE NEW WORLD. The following is a report from the Museum of Prac tical Geology, on specimens of coal from Sandy Bay, Talcahuano Bay, near Concepcion, Chili, and from Van couver's Island, brought to England in her Majesty's steam-frigate Sampson, Captain Henderson, C. 8., re cently paid off from the Pacific : " Museum of Practical Geology, Jan. 30. " Sir,—With reference to the fossil fuel from Sandy Bay, Patagonia, Talcahuano Bay, and Colcurra Bay, Chili, and from Vancouver's Island, forwarded to the Museum of Practical Geology from the Admiralty for examination, and brought home by her Majesty's steamer Sampson, I have the honour herewith to for ward a statement of analyses conducted under the su perintendence of Dr. Lyon Playfair, from which it re sults that the two specimens from Sandy Bay come under the head of that variety of fossil fuels, called brown coal, or lignite. They are, however, good va rieties of that fuel, although containing a large quan- tity of ash. Lignites, though not so good as real coal for steam purposes, may yet be often advantageously employed when the latter is not to be procured. " The locality of this lignite would appear to render it particularly worthy of attention, more especially as to its abundance and easy access. " The specimens from Talcahuano Bay and Colcurra Bay, Chili, are of real coals, and, so far as can be in ferred from the portions sent, would appear to be of that variety known as cannel or candle coal. That from Talcahuano Bay is a very fair average coal, that from Colcurra Bay is equal in evaporative value to good New castle coal, judging at least from the analysis. "The specimen from Vancouver's Island is also one of a true coal, of the kind found at Newcastle. It, how ever, contains much earthy matter. This specimen may be from the cap, or portions exposed to the wea ther, and indeed may be but from one of the several beds supposed to exist in Vancouver's Island, which may not give a fair estimate of the quality .of its coals generally. "The lignites and coals, of which specimens were sent, may all be made applicable to steam navigation, espe cially the coals, if they can be obtained in sufficient quan tity, and with the requisite facility.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your very obedient servant, " H. T. DE LA BECHE. "Captain Hamilton, R.N." " Museum of Practical Geology, Jan. 30, 1849. " Sir,--I have now the honour to state the results of my examination of the coals sent to this Museum for analysis, and described as Specimens of coal from Sandy Bay, Straits of Magellan, and Chili, brought by her Ma jesty's ship Sampson.' " SPECIMEN I.—Coal from Sandy Bay, Patagonia. " This coal is brown, having the appearance of a lig nite; it does not soil the fingers. It is easily broken in any direction, and the interior presents a black mass, in terspersed at intervals with light brown specks, which are due to some resinous matter. In some parts a yellow resin, probably amber, is found. Carbon ... Hydrogen ... Sulphur ... Nitrogen ... Ash Oxygen ... 62.25 5.05 ... 1.13 ... 0.63 ... 13.40 ... 17.54 100.00 " This coal burns without swelling, gives a little flame, and a very pungent smoke, ash grey. " SPECIMEN ll.—Sandy Bay. "Is perfectly identical in appearance with the for mer specimen, and presents the same phenomena on ig nition. Carbon ... Hydrogen ... Sulphur ... Nitrogen ... Ash ... Oxygen ... ... 59.63 ... 5.63 ... 0.96 ... 0.64 ... 15.64 ... 17.45 100.00 " Coal from Talcahuano Bay, near Concepcion, Chili. " This coal does not soil the fingers, is very hard— has something of a conchoidal fracture. The interior is perfectly and uniformly black, while almost the entire exterior surface is covered with a grey film, as if the coal had decayed under the influence of the atmosphere. It burns without swelling, giving considerable smoke and flame, and yields a greyish ash. Carbon Hydrogen ... Sulphur Nitrogen Ash ... Oxygen ... 70.71 ... 6.44 ... 0.90 ... 1.08 ... 6.92 ... 13.95 100.00 " Coal from Vancouver's Island: " Resembles much in appearance Newcastle coal; has a black, glossy surface, it breaks easily, earthy matter is found running in lines through it. It burns with a considerable amount of smoke and flame, and leaves a grey ash. Carbon ... Hydrogen ... Sulphur ... Nitrogen ... Ash ... Oxygen ... ... 66.93 ... 5.32 ... 2.20 ... 1.02 ... 15.82 ... 8.71 100.00 " Coal from Colcurra Bay, near Concepcion, Chili. " Very closely resembles the coal from Talcahuano Bay, but there is an appearance of decomposition even in the interior. It burns with considerable smoke and flame, leaving a reddish yellow asb. Carbon ... Hydrogen ... Sulphur ... Nitrogen ... Ash Oxygen ... 78,305 ... 5,506 ... 1,060 ... 1,090 ... 5,670 .. 8,369 100.000 " You will remark that the specimens from Sandy Bay are not coals but lignites; that the coals from Chili resemble the cannel coal of this country, so far as may be judged from the small specimen sent; and that the coal from Vancouver's Island resembles ordinary New castle coal, except that it contains much more earthy matter than good coal from the Newcastle field.

Mark Hough, warehouseman to Mr. Walker, cotton spinner, Chorley, long and confidently trusted by his master, was on Friday, the 2d inst., sent to the Briton bank for 5101. to pay the workers' wages.

On arriving, at eleven o'clock at night, at the railway station, ho asked permission to leave the letter-bag with the silver, as he wanted to follow t'vo navigators who had robbed him. In two hours after this Hough went back to the bank and said he had been robbed of the 310/. in gold near the railway station. Ile had then a black eye and was bleeding at the nose. It formation was given to the police, and Hough was takes to Manchester. All search for the navigators was va',n, and Hough was the same night taken back to Bolton, where he was locked up on suspicion of having stolen tit money. The police were satisfied that his tale was it brieated, and Sergeant Beech undertook to learn tie truth by stratagem. He dressed himself in plain clothes, and being thrust into the same cell at the station house with Hough, affected to be much afflicted at his situa , tion. Hough asked what he was put in for?

The quarterly returns of the mortality in 117 districts of England have been published, and are of an interesting, and on the whole satisfactory, cha racter. Thirty-six districts are in the metropolis, and the remaining 81 comprise, with some agricul tural districts, the principal towns and cities of Eng land. The population was 6,612,958 in 1841. It is gratifying to find that the mortality of the quarter has been below the average. Only 46,124 deaths have been registered. The deaths in the cor responding quarters of 1846 and 1847 were 53,055 and 57,925 ; so that notwithstanding some increase of population the decrease of deaths on 1847 is 11,801 ; and on 1846, 6,931. Taking the increase of popula tion into azconnt, the deaths are 2,571 below the average of the deaths in nine preceding years. The general mortality of the country was compa ratively low in the five years of 1841-5 ; in the middle of 1846 epidemics set in, and proved fatal through the rest of 1846, through 1847, and the winter of 1848. A manifest improvement took place in the spring of the year 1848 ; the summer was of the average degree of health ; and although cases of cholera have occured i n Lonon and several districts during this quarter, the returns prove that the epi demic has hitherto produced no sensible effect on the mortality. The deaths in London were 14,725, of which 5,137 were caused by diseases of the zymotic class, namely, 1,765 by scarlatina, 883 by typhus, 472 by hooping cough, 126 by erysipelas. Scarlatina has been epidemic, and has raged with great violence. It has destroyed more lives than any other disease, and shows no sign of abatement. The deaths by scar latina in each of the four quarters of 1848 were -615, 816, 1,560, and 1,765 ; making 4,756 deaths in the aggregate. Smallpox was fatal to 413 persons, chiefly children who had never been vaccinated. The deaths from smallpox lin the autumns of 1841-47 were-75, 108, 114, 571, 106, 42, and 372. Nearly all these deaths arose from the neglect of vaccination, which, under a recent Act of the Legislature, is nevertheless gratuitously performed on all appli cants, at stations in every district of London. Typhus was fatal to 883 persons; this disease is decreasing, for the deaths in the autumn of 1847 were 1,279. The deaths from cholera were 468 ; the deaths in the autumns of the seven previous:years were —3, 13, 14, 5, 11, 15, 12. Consumption was less fatal than usual; only 1,450 persons died of that malady. Heart diseases, lung diseases, and liver diseases were much less fatal, not only than in 1847, when influ enza was prevalent, but less fatal than in the autumn of 1846; 163 _pothers died in childbirth; about 17,774 children were born alive; so that 1 mother died to every 109 children born alive. Of the deaths, 100 were ascribed to metria, or childbirth fever. The mortality from this cause is high and deserves grave consideration. 13 deaths were ascribed directly to intemperance. 34 deaths are referred to delirium tremens, generally the result of drinking spirits to excess, a slow but certain suicide. Of the violent deaths 24 were caused by poison, 31 by wounds, 22 by hanging, 68 by drowning, 63 burns and scalds, 131 by fractures and contusions. 1 The mortality in Brighton and Portsea Island have been high during the quarter. Scarlatina prevailed in Brighton, smallpox in Portsea Island; typhus in both districts. Windsor was also visited by typhus and scarlatina, and a vagrant died there of English cholera after 21 hours' illness. The aggregate mor tality of Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, and Berk shire, in the three last autumns was above the .ave rage ; the births were 11,834 ; th e d ea th s, 8,035. Th mortality of St. Albans, and of Great Mar low, Wycombe, was above the average. Scarlatina prevailed in both districts. Bedford, Northampton, and Oxford were unusually healthy. Typhus pre vailed at Cambridge, and several cases of cholera were but slightly increased. The deaths in the South Midland counties were 6,655 ; the births were 8,996. The mortality of Colchester, Ipswich, Norwich, and Yarmouth deviated little from the average of the preceding autumn quarters. On the whole, Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk were much healthier than in the autumn of 1846, but less healthy than in the autumn of 1847. The same remarks will apply to Wiltshire, Dorset shire, Devonshire, Cornwall, and Somersetshire. The births were 12,595, the deaths 8,290. Exeter and Bath have been unusually healthy; the parishes surround ing Exeter, in the district of St. Thomas, suffere d from scarlatina, measles, and fever. Plymouth and Penzance have been unhealthy, Smallpox destroyed 85 lives in Plymouth. Only one of the 37 who died in the sub-district of Charles the Martyr had been vaccinated. Dysentery was epidemic in Penzance and St. Ives. Sickness prevailed very much in Ma razion ' • from want of empl o ym en t grea t num b ers o f the labouring classes left the district. The deaths in Bristol, Stroud, Cheltenham, and Hereford were somewhat more numerous than in the autumn of 1847. Scarlatina and smallpox pre vailed slightly in Bristol. The registrar of St. Mary, Redcliffe, justly complains that the burial of the dead is too long deferred in his district. The mortality of Clifton, Shrewsbury, Worcester, and Kidderminster was rather lower than in pre ceding years. A most striking improvement is ob served in the health of the coal and iron districts of Staffordshire and Warwickshire. The deaths regis tered in Birmingham during the autumn quarters of 1844-8 were 964, 777, 1,338, 1,795, and 851. In Dudley, Walsall, and Wolverhampton, the diminu tion in the mortality of the last quarter of 1848 is equally striking. In Wolstanton and Coventry the mortality also declined. The deaths registered in all the districts of Gloucestetshire Herefordshire, Shrop shire, Worcestershire, Staffordshire, and Warwick shire, were 12,859, 12,742, and 10,477, in the autumn quarters of 1846-8. There were fewer births in 1848 than in 1846. The births in the autumn quarter of 1848 were 16,004, the deaths only 10,477. In Nottingham and Derby the mortality was low. Diarrhoea and dysentery were unusually prevalent at Nottingham in October, and one case of cholera oc curred in November. Mumps attacked several indi viduals in confined and unhealthy localities, but the disease was not fatal. Smallpox was prevalent in Leicester ; scarlatina in Lincoln ; typhus in both dis tricts; and the mortality was higher than in the au tumn of 1847. In the five counties of Leicestershire, Rutlandshire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, and Derbyshire, the deaths were 6,863, 6,002, and 5,700, in the autumn quarters of 1846-8. The births in the last quarter were 8,964. The mortality of Stockport and Macclesfield ; Chester, Liverpool, and West Derby; Blackburn, Preston, Rochdale, Bury, Bolton, Wigan, and Pres cot ; Chorlton, Manchester, Salford, Ashton and Old ham, was lower than in the autumn quarter of 1846 ; in some districts the reduction in the mortality was fifty per cent. In Preston, 968, 636, and 424 ; in Manchester, 2,318, 2,210, and 1,651 deaths were registered in the autumn quarters of 1846.7-8 ; in the same quarters the total deaths registered in Lancashke and Cheshire were 20,392, 18,696, and 14,896. The births were 21,245 and 19,425 in the autumn quarters of 1846 and 1848. The births and deaths decreased. The decrease of mortality is ascribed to improvements in trade ; and by some to the removal of the population. The com mercial depression began in 1846 ; the mills were stopped and were only partially opened in 1847 1 many persons therefore removed to towns where par ticular manufactures offered employment, and have not been induced to return now that trade has been restored. The mortality in the great town districts of York shire has been below the average ; and very much below the mortality of the two preceding autumns. The deaths in Sheffield were 803, 734, 591, in the autumn quarters 1846-7-8; in Huddersfield, 959, 708, 649 ; in Bradford, 1,086, 895, 833 ; Leeds and Hunslet, L 390, 1,413, and 1,082 ; Hull, 404, 489, and 319 ; York, 343, 522, and 321. Three cases death by cholera were registered in Huddersfield ; three (called English cholera) in Horton, Bradfor d in 12 in the Humber sub-district of Hull eight Micklegate, York. Leeds is healthy, brust'ondsia.rrThec and dysentery have been fatal to a few_ deaths registered in the districts 21,190, 10,508, and 9,005 int the of t u o o r e k a s u h t i u r e m were e r o e f 1846-7-8.

Cases of cholera have occurred in Sunderland, Tynemouth, and Newcastle-on-Tyne. The deaths in Durham, Northumberland, Cumber land, and Westm oreland, were 6,809 , 5,653, and 4,411 in the autumn quarters of 1 846-7-8. The mortality decreased 35 per cent. The births were 7,374 in the last quarter of the year 1846, and 7,996 in the last quarter of 1848. The mortality of Merthyr Tydvil, Newtown, end Ilolywell, is lower than it was in the corresponding quarters of 1846-7. In Wrexham, 302 persons died within three months, the sanitary condition of the town being wretched. The deaths in Wales and Monmouthshire were 5,903, 5,600, and 5,286 in the autumn quarters of 1640-7-8. The births were 8 , 527 in the Alittalan • ,t•- 1 quarter of 1846, and 7,974 i n the autumn l irzi test, s of 1848. On a comparative view of the mortalit large towns, as contrasted with the rural • - A small towns of England, d ur i ng th e nine ii_s)ttiar ters of each of the last nine years, ikappearsltikOhe r returns that " after every allowance has been : 'nide 100,000 deaths have taken place which mu v ft 0 " • e b r f V. S. chiefly referred to the want of pure air an d house room, and drainage, which good laws and in stitutions might supply." With reference to cholera the Registrar-General remarks, "that when it appeared in England in 1831 it was at the close of the year, and that it caused nearly all the mortality in 1832. Its advances were slow, but sanitary precautions ad ` vanced still more slowly. A Health of Towns' Act, however," he observes, " exists ; a map of London is in progress, on which the fatality of epidemics may be traced, and which will facilitate the drainage; a new Commission of Smers has been issued ; a Board of Health has been congituted ; innumerable reports have been printed ; and if no ti ;at , is lost much may yet be done behire the great epidenic is in a condition to put forth its strength in summer. The establish ment at Tooting has shown us haw cholera is made fatal; it is still easier to show hnw it may be made comparatively innoxious. And the lesson will pro bably not be so soon forgotten as it was in 1832." The returns contain a very elaborate description of the meteorological condition of the atmosphere, drawn up by Mr. Glaisher, of the Royal Observatory, Green wich. " The weather," he observes, " during the past quarter has been variable. The changes of tempera ture have been frequent and great ; there has heen an unusually large number of exhibitions of the Aurora Borealis and the magnetic instruments have been greatly disturbed. The amount of electricity in the atmosphere has been small, many days together having passed without the instruments at Greenwich being affected." From the Ist of October to the 10th the excess of temperature above the average of seven years was 6.6 deg. ; the greatest daily excess was 12.3 deg. on the 7th. Between the 11th and the 21st the tempe rature was 4 . 5 deg. below the average. On the 18th it was 10 deg. in defect. From October 22 to Oc tober 30 it was 5 . 3 deg. in excess ; the greatest was 7 . 7 deg. on the 27th. From October 31 to November 16 the temperature was mostly below the average ; its mean defect was 4.2 deg., its greatest within the period was 10.2 deg. on the 4th. From November 17 to December 19 the temperature exceeded the average by 4.8 deg. ; on December 7 the excess was 12.4 deg.; on the Bth was 151 deg.; on the 9th was 14 . 4 deg.; and on the 10th was 10.1 deg. From December 20 to December 24 the defect was 6.2 deg.; from December 25 to December 29 the excess was 5.8 deg., and it was 2.3 deg. below the average on December 30 and 31.

BARNSLEY, FRIDAY.—At the conclusion of the evi dence, tile jury, after a consultation of one hour and a half, returned the following written verdict:— " We find a verdict of accidental death on the 75 bodies we have viewed, caused by one or more explosions of carburetted hydrogen gas, or inflammable air, which took place on the 24th of January last, in the Darley Main Colliery, and wo most strongly recommend to the proprietors that a better mode of ventilation be adopted before they recommence working the mine, as a pre ventive against any future recurrence of a similar kind, and we think, from the evidence given before us, that the re moving of the machinery used for drawing water out of the upcast shaft is essentially necessary, so as to allow the air passing out of the mine to have a better and freer outlet. And we also express our desire that Mr. Badger, the coroner, be requested to report to Sir George Grey, and that he make such report known to her Ma jesty's Government, that we think it advisable that they should appoint a scientific and practical person to oc casionally inspect the collieries in this district, and see that there is proper ventilation, and hear any complaint by the workpeople employed therein. " JOSEPH POTTER, Foreman." BODY OF A FEMALE FOUND IN A POND,—On Saturday morning the body of an aged female of re spectable appearance was found lying in a small pond in lteddin's brickfield, at the back or St. George's Church, Camberwell, between the Surrey Canal and Peckham grove. The circumstances under which the deceased was found are of a very suspicious and mysterious character. The pond in question is in an enclosed field several hundred yards away from the road, there being no pathway or thoroughfare leading in any di rection, and, therefore, it would appear quite improbable that tho deceased could have fallen into the pond by accident. The pond does not contain more than three feet of water, and the deceased could easily have extri cated herself, unless rendered perfectly helpless. No marks of struggling or violence have been found near the spot, or on her person, nor were any cries or noise heard by any one in the neighbourhood. A boy at work first saw an umbrella lying near the pond, and discovering something heavy in thewater he immediately called to a labourer who was passing, and the body was got out quiet dead. It had the appearance of having been in the water for several hours, and was immediately conveyed to Camberwell workhouse ; but nothing was found on her person calculated to give any clue as to who or what she was; and up to last night (Sunday), although the police have circulated the information of the finding of the body, with a full description of on person, it has not b een id ent ifi e d . Th e d ecea sed had straw a black silk gown, also a striped cotton a g own, bonnet, trimmed with black ribbon, and ts w bl h a i c t kveil. brown stuff petticoat, two flannel ptico a a s L ing five feet stock iags, and laced boots rshe is described five inches in height, of fair complexion, false curls in front, and apparently ab g o r u e t y fifty hair, yearswi with of age. —During ROYAL ARTILLERY, for and sent to the itiO'RFR lEn:altt:lions being Adjutant-General's ffi "" of ° a L the seniority list of the present week returneos,were called - - t service, in April afficifers,oprteap,oaratory, it is expected, to the , twelve battalions made in this branch of t he next, to be non commissioned formation termed the 3t the troops of Royal being a and 14th battalions Artillery. troops of Royal Horse Horse already formed independent of A rt illery, w i t h four guns to ea c h troop, and the four f i e ld b a tteries with, four gun s t o each battery, assembled the Lieutenan t garrison, at te a n nd o calt half-pastock ten o' c l o , A.M., a t t h e south-west gate of c Sir Thomas Downham, C,13 , • Com mandant, with Brigade-Major Bingham and ' Captain Tylden, Deputy-Assistant- Quartermaster -General, ar rived and inspected the men, with their horses and ap pointments. The head of the column of troops and bat teries then marched across the common in the direction of the veterinary establishment and down the Shooters'- hill -road to the edge of Blackheath, and turned down Myrtle-lane, where Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Downham and staff had taken up a position, and again made a minute inspection of tho whole of the troops and batteries. They then returned through old Charlton, and entered the north-west gate of the garrison at twelve o'clock, the dinner hour. LAIINCII or A STEAMER.—The Ganges, a splendid steam-vessel of 1,200 t ons b ur d en, built /ler the Penin sular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company by Mr. Pitcher, was launched from hit dockyati at Northfieet on Thursday la The day was remarkably propitious, and a large nut or of visitors assembled to witness the interesting spectacle. The vessel went off in magnifi cent style, and all the judges present were unanimous in pronouncing the highest enlogiaims upon her. Two steamers were in readiness to take the vessel at once to the East India DOOkS, where she is to receive her en gines, which are, being constructed by Messrs. Miller, Itavenhill, and Co., of Blackwall. After the launch the visitors partook of a husdsome collation, providderalyb,:ptrhoe: builder, at th e R os h erv ill e Hotel, and they returned to town at an ear ly h our , highly gratified by the ceedings.
