QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco, before Lord Campbell, Justices Coleridge, Wightman, and Erla.) IN RE W. IL BARBER-THE WILL FORGERIES. The policemen against whom the Commission€rs have especially reported are :- 398 A, since ascertained to be William Gearing, charged with the apprehension, without sufficient ground, of J. J. White, and of inexcusable violence to him while in custoly, George Thorpe, 363 A, charged with the unjustifiable apprehension of Henry Austin. William Bewlay, 20 D, charged with unnecessary violence towards William Floyd and James Vassie. Charles Leach, 147 A, charged with unnecessary and reckless violence towards John Thomas King. Charles Madgett, 84 C, charged with taking part in illegal violence against William Stephens. James Teasdale, 375 A, and Th omas W a d e , 385 A, charged with violence towards persons who were not known or examined. It will be remembered that Mr. Barber, concerned with the will forgeries, in connection with Fetcher, and who was convicted and sentenced to transportation, has since his pardon made repeated applications to this Court to be re-admitted an attorney of the Court, but refused. Last terns a similar application was again made and refused. Lord Campbell, on taking his seat this morning, said that in the matte: of W. H. Barbcr, who had applied to be re-admitted an attorney of this Court, the learned judges had long and anxiously considered all the evi dence laid before them, and the Court had arrived at the conclusion that the evidence to establish Barber's connivance with the frauds of Fletcher, alleged against him, was of too doubtful a nature to induce them to con tinue his exclusion any longer, and therefore the Court ordered the rule for his re-admission to be made absolute. Rule made absolu te accordingly. THE QUEEN ON THE PROSECUTION OF JAMES WHITTAKER AND OTHERS RESPONDENTS V. JOHN LORD APPELLANT. This was an appeal against a conviction in which the trustees of the turnpike roads of Burnley and Rochdale, and the commissioners of the town of Rochdale were concerned, and the question was, whether under certain general and local acts the trustees of the roads have the power to levy tolls in respect of paving -stones used in the town. The Court quashed the conviction. And Sergeant Vincent Gummer, 21 C, charged with unjustifiable violence in dispersing the crowd in Park street. BAY ifARKET THEATRE. (From. the Morning Herald of this day.) The Provoked Husband was revived at this theatre last night, the two principal characters being sustained by Miss Cushman and Mr. Howe. We do not remem ber when this once popular comedy was last performed in the metropolis, but some five-and-twenty years ago it was acted with great excellence at Covent Garden, dur-• ing the period of Miss Fanny Kemble's earliest dramatic experiences. That it has not been more frequently re presented is a matter of little surprise, for although as a picture of the fashionable and domestic manners of the last century it enjoys a high reputation, it has ceased to be the type of anything of which a modern audience has cognisance ; and hence it now awakens but a compara tively small degree of interest. Actresses of the highest rank have from time to time essayed the part ,of the restless and infatuated Lady Townley. That Miss Cushman would analyse the elements of the character with shrewdness and ability we were sure ; but an intelligent survey of a part like this is not, at all times, realised by a successful embodiment ; and here was an instance. Miss Cushman is not by any means a happy ex ponent, of the gay and reckleis trifler, whose love of pleasure and the excitements of the gaming-table so well suggest the-lineaments of the frivolous and capricious woman of the olden school. The delineation of the scenes which precede the crisis wanted, as might have been expected, the geniality and finesse of high comedy, and grievously failed in the estimation of those who could remember former portrayals. But in the last act, when Lord Townley, chafing at the discreditable collision of his wife with a clamorous creditor, openly admonishes her, and by the severity of his reproof not only humbies her instinct of resistance, but touches her better nature, Miss Cushtnan was all that could be wished ; and to the painful force of the address, in which she confesses her humiliation in words of the deepest remorse and contri tion, the audience was far from being indifferent. Mr. Howe, always sensible and manly, played the amiable Lord Townley with his usual propriety ; and in the clos ing scene, when he details his provocations, asserts per emptorily his authority, but yields to the symptoms of penitence and amendment, was impressively effective. We need specify no further, excepting to praise Mr. Rogers for the zest and heartiness which he threw into his portraiture of the unsophisticated John Moody ; and to observe that Mr. Compton and Miss Ellen Chaplin, as the wilful and audacious children of the rustic baronet, diverted the spectators immensely by their practica escapades. BAIL COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Erle.) THE QUEEN V. THE CHURCHWARDENS OF ST. CLEMENT'S tt T hh fl eem E NEW METROPOLITAN DANE VESTRIES ACT. Mr.t churchwardens Sergeantsummon rnn Sah vestryeo Shea applied st.em ee en It fora enngt:sp Du m ras a nu n ea d s : t m e tauol calling nhageg uponal isntsht and 19th Vic., chap. 120, for the election of vestrymen and auditors. A meeting had been convened, and cer tain vestrymen and auditors elected ; but it was con tended that that meeting and election was void, o❑ the grounds that at that meeting the churchwardens refused to allow certain gentlemen, who are properly rated to the poor on a rental of 401., to be candidates for the said offices, by refusing to allow certain voters to vote at that election, on the around that they had not paid their church-rates, made in May, 1854, the act requiring that the ratepayer before voting shalt have paid all local rates made within the six months previous to the election. The learned sergeant contended that the church-rate in question was void, because it included the payment of certain local charges, such as the organ blower, &c. The ratepayers had not the power of testing in the Ecclesiastical Court the validity of the rate, the initiative being with the churchwardens; but that, where their civil rights were affected, they might bring the question before the court in the manner he had done. The appointing a ratepayer named Huggett an inspector of the election, who was himself a candidate for the office of vestryman, was an improper proceeding. The act did not, be said, enable the churchwardens to refuse a candidate for the office of vestryman who had not paid his rates. Mr. Justice Erle said this was a very important appli cation, and he would state his decision to-morrow morning. Mr. Sergeant Shea said the object of this application was to prevent the continuance of mere excitement and ill-feeling in the parish than was actually necessary. If the learned judge did not grant the rule now the persons elected would take office this afternoon, and consequently the applicants would then be driven to a quo warranto, which would be a more expensive proceeding, and throw greater difficulties in the way of a speedy and, it was to be hoped, amicable settlement of the dispute. After some further observations from the learned sergeant, Mr. Justice Erle granted the rule, and it was ar ranged that the practice of the court in issuing such rules should be departed from, and cause shown on Satur day or Monday. His object in doing so was to put an end as speedily as possible to any ill-feeling that might exist amongst the parishioners. The other side might on application have the hearing adjourned to next term. (From the Morning Post.) The style in which the Provoked Husband was per formed last evening deserves great praise. Mr. Howe, as Lord Townley, is gaining fresh laurels as he proceeds, and evidently increases in means in proportion to the difficulty of the situation. The Mr. Manly, by Mr. W. Farren, was a very satisfactory effort. Sir Francis Wronghead, by Mr. Chippendale, was exactly what it ought to be ; John Moody found a very judicious and natural representative in Mr. Rogers ; and Squire Richard and Miss Jenny, in the hands of Mr. Compton and Miss Ellen Chaplin, furnished the necessary breadth of humour to the piece. The Lady Grace of Miss Swanborough was by far the very best of her dramatic efforts; and in Lady Townley Miss Cushman, if she dis played a little too much gesticulation in the earlier scenes, by the pure and effective performance of the last compensated far all. The sympathies of the audience were fairly subdued by the simple earnestness of her last appeal to her offended husband, aad their tears were a just tribute to the consummate skill of the actress. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) THAMES. - - BENEVOLENCE.—This morning on our reporter enter ing the court, Mr. Ingham announced that he had re ceived the very handsome donation of 501. for the poor box, from Lady C. 8., and he should be obliged if the donation was noticed in the journals. BURGLARY AND ROBBERY.—John Spearman. and Richard Dunmore, young men, were brought before Mr. Ingham, this morning, directly he had taken his seat on the bench, and charged with the commission of a daring burglary and robbery on the premises of Mr. John Bond, mast and block maker and ship-smith, Fore street, Limehouse. (From the Daily News.) The Provoked Husband was revived last night. The performance was careful, and on the whole good. Miss Cushman essayed the part of Lady Townley, and was injudicious in doing so. This lady, with all her merit in her own line, ought to have known that Lady Townley is entirely out of it. She has neither the face, person, voice, nor manner belonging to the grace ful, elegant, gay, frivolous, high-bred woman of fashion. It was only in the last scene, which approaches to tra gedy in its display of passion—the scene of Lady Town. ley's sudden penitence and reconciliation with her hue band—a scene, by the way, out of keeping with the inveterate levity of the character—that Miss Cushman made anything like a strong impression. That scene was warmly and deservedly applauded. Mr. Howe and Mr. Farren made as much of Lord Townley and Mr. Manly as could be expected. Miss Svvanhorough was a graceful Lady Grace. She acted the part "soberly," and at the same time pleasantly. The " Wronghead" scenes went off with spirit, and caused much amusement. Chippendale was the Old Squire, Compton was Squire Richard, Miss Ellen Chaplin was Miss 'Jenny, and Rogers was John Moody. All excellent, especially Compton and Miss Chaplin. The play is worth seeing as now acted. Mr. Bond stated that his water-side premises consisted of a mast-yard, adjacent to the river, and were secured with four upper and lower shutters next the Thames. These shutters were fastened with buttons. His dwel ling-house was over the mast-yard, and he slept on the premises. On Friday night last, at 12 o'clock, he beard a noise, which he -thought proceeded from the salt wharf adjoining, and he went to sleep again. On Saturday morning, his boy, on going down stairs, disco vered the mast-yard had been entered from the river. The thieves unfastened the shutters fronting the Thames and silenced his dog, which he heard barking for some time. They forced open a door at the bottom of the stairs of his dwelling-house and put the dog inside. The burglars had carried off a good deal of property, and broke open a desk from which they abstracted 100 " patent roller cogues." They also took from the mast yard a quantity of brass sheaves, 25 lbs. of sheathing copper, 140 or 150 brass rollers, 6 or 7 lbs. of copper nails, several packets of files and other property. A pistol bad also been stolen from a pistol box left in his charge by the captain of a ship. An attempt had been made to I rce open two iron safes; which resisted the attempo of the burglars. He had some knowledge of the man with the smock frock (Spearman), and had seen him about the yard several times. Thomas Barlow, a boy, and servant t 3 the last wit - ness, gave similar evidence, and added that he found 81 cogues in the mud fronting his master's premises on Saturday morning. Mr. Bond—The thieves dropped the cogues in the mud when they retreated from the premises, and we found them at low-water mark. Thomas Attwood, a police constable, No. 422 K, who was in a very weakly condition, said that on Sa turday morning last, at six o'clock, he saw the prisoners and another man crossing Salmon's-lane, Lime house. Spearman had a large bag containing some heavy material on his back. He intercepted them near the Ratcliff workhouse, and asked Spearman what he had got in his bag. The prisoner refused to tell him, and a struggle ensued, and he made his escape. Last night he (witness) met the prisoners in the Commercial-road, and took them into custody. The prisoners were remanded until Saturday. (From the Morning Advertiser.) This theatre last night, by way of varying the charac ter portrayed by Miss Cushman, put up the old fashioned comedy of the Provoked Husband, in order to show that clever actress in Lady Townley. Whatever this lady does is sensible, and marked with a strong intellectual conception; but, unfortunately for her, Lady Townley is a being without sense, and seems incapable of an intellectual operation. She is meant to be a gay, giddy, handsome, lively woman, abounding in animal spirits, and with a strong addiction to pleasure and keen excitements. Her spirits are in a perpetual ferment, and it is certainly more• her misfortune than her fault she does not live happily with her formal, not to say prig gi,h, husband. They are the very opposite of each other, and much might have been said in the lady's de fence had the dramatist's cue been to expose harsh hus bands. To depict " this Cynthia of the minute," to give hue and tone to her careeloon-like character, is not an opera tion of intellect, nor the product of thought and study. It is, therefore, quite out of the range of Miss Cushman. Her assumption of the wayward yet charming woman of quality and pleasure had no reality in it, and her airs and graces seem ridiculous stage amblings. She gives some vigour to the character when the resentful wife re torts in a bon mot or two, and was really effective when she represents her repentance in the last scene. It is certainly in the real and sterner emotions that Miss Cushman excels ; •though her understanding is so good that she ha s the power of indicating any character she selects ; but indication is not performance. SOUTH WARK. MORE DEALINGS WITS RUSSlA.—Cornelius Bowen, a labouring man, was brought before Mr. Combe, charged with stealing about a hundredweight of Russian tallow, i;he property of Messrs. Scovell and Company, wharfin gers, Tooley-street. William Lawson, a foreman in the employ of the pro secutors, said that on Monday morning they were un loading a quantity of tallow just arrived from Russia, and the prisoner was employed in the gang. From in• formation he received he went to the wharf and gave the prisoner into custody. He had a bag of tallow in his possession weighing a hundredweight and two quarters, which he was carrying away from the wharf. Mr. Landon, an engineer, residing in Tooley-street, said he was passing by the wharf when he saw the pri soner break the head of a cask in and take out a quantity of tallow which he put into a bag. Witness went and told Lawson what he had seen, and the prisoner was given into custody. Mr. Combe asked where the tallow came from ? Lawson replied that it was sent direct from RasPia, but through Prussian merchants for English trade. The firm in this country had connexions in Russia at the pre sent time, and large dealings were daily taking place between them. The tallow in question was very dear at present, being at the rate of 735. per cwt: A gentleman who attended from Messrs. Scovell's stated that robberies of tallow were so frequent at their wharves that they were compelled to employ men to watch the labourers. The tallow in question was worth nearly 41., and was scarce in the market, owing to the present war with Russia. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said the head of the cask fell out, and the tallow rolled about. Ile only picked some up, but did not intend to steal it. Mr. Combe said that if he pleaded not guilty, he must send him to the Sessions for trial, as the evidence was so conclusive against him. The prisoner said that if such was his worship's opi. nion he must plead guilty, but he rived he would deal leniently with him, Mr. Combe accordingly committed him to the Hou.e of Correction at Wandsworth for three m , nth,, under the New Criminal Justice Act. A DAY IN SEBASTOPOL BY A YOUNG CAVALRY OFFICER. Nov. 2.—My last sleepy letter, or rather note, was written after my return from a lengthened survey of tho ever-interesting town--or, more correctly speaking, fort ress of Sebastopol, w h en I was completely were out ' by the fatigue undergone during a ride, walk, run, and scramble of six hour s ' d ura ti on. I will now give the details. Our party consisted of four officers, and having provided ourselves with a French pass, we started at a quarter before 12 o'clock, and entered the city by the Woronzoff road, thereby having the English front, or Karabelna'a, to the right. We first stopped at the thea tre, which, since my former visit, has evidently been on fire ; probably some of the shells from the northern sid e have had something to do with this. From the theatre we went towards Fort St. Nicholas ; afterwards we turned to our left, and through one of the principal streets, now occupied by the French, who, having re paired many of the houses, to make theta habitable, have set up restaurants in abundance. At the end of the str e et we h a d a com pl e t e view of Fort Con stantine on the opposite side, which I do not think can fire down this street. Hence we went to the extreme left of Sebastopol —that is, supposing a person on Cathcart's-hill, looking towards the city, he would have the part we went to on his left hand. We came now to the main bastion, which is close to the ruins of Fort Alexander. Here commence the regular fortifica tions of stonework, having every here and there outworks of earth, where the ground admitted of their being ad vantageously placed. The effects of shot and shell were curious ; the walls were in regular holes, but, from the softness of the stone, a hole was made without shaking or crumbling down the walls. In one place the whole wall was down ; but it was evidently the result of an ex plosion from a magazine, probably fired by the Russians themselves on their retreat. We were walking here very leisurely, having left our horses some distance be hind, by the advice of a French artillery officer, who said such a mounted party would attract attention and draw down a fire upon us from the opposite side, when all of a sudden bang went a gun, and whiz came a shell, which burst close over our heads. Following the ex ample of the French picquet guard, down we fell on our stomachs on the ground to avoid the splinters. As this was no gentle hint, we were prep firing to return, when bang went another gun (we had evidently attracted attention), and we were on the ground again in a' second. The French guard, who from expe rience knew the difference in sound between the flight of a round shot and shell, were aware that a round shot was coming, and not only did set us the example this time of prostration, but laughed most heartly at seeing us all on our stomachs, and so did we when we rose up. We turned our backs on Fort Constantine, and I found my legs with a strong disposition to move at •‘ double quick," but that would have been infra dig. Before we got back to our horses, however, another shot was fired, and we all found we had walked fast enough to get " very hot" on mounting. I brought away a piece of the stone of which the bastions are built, as you desired, to enable you to identify the rock from which it was taken. The same stone is employed in the construction of all the forts. On our return we kept to the left, so as to make the circuit of the town. A bastion of earth attracted our attention ; it was tremendously strong, and the ditch so deep that it could not have been leapt into without the risk of breaking limbs. The French had evidently paid it great attention during the siege, as it was strewed with fragments of shells ; but still it looked as formid this as ever, and seemed to grin like another Malakhoff. There was not any one at hand to tell us its name. It seems strange that such defences should have been abandoned in consequence of the loss of one work, and yet had the Russians held on fur another week after the loss of the Malakhoff, the whole garri son would have been taken prisoners. We got to our tents at nightfall heartily tired. What do you think I am going to do this evening ? Nothing less than give a dinner. My table only admits of one guest, and my dinner service is only enough for one person ; so I must go begging for a knife from one, a spoon from another, and so on. The bill of fare is soup, roast leg of mutton, and plumb-pudding ; potatoes, of course ; wines (port and sherry), and beer. Is not this grand ? Poor John never had so many pots on the fire before. I hope be won't mistake one dish for the other, and bring the plumb-pudding first. How I should laugh ! I forgot to mention my candlesticks : they are two glass bottles, which once contained beer. What would Lord C., of the 10th Hussars celebrity, say to that ? Adieu ! I shall tell you how the dinner went off in my next. _ The cavalry are under orders to embark for the Bos phorus. AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed heavily, but prices were not changed, except for New American, from 6id. to 70. per lb., which appeared in some quantity, and was pressed for sale, at a decline of at least id. per lb. The sales were 3,000 to 4,000 bales, comprising 200 Pernam and Maranham, 51d. to GO. ; 300 Egyptian, 60. to ; and 300 Surat, 31d. to 40. per lb. In the Railway Share Market there was a consider able improvement observable in the value of the leading stocks at the Exchange. Accounts from Paris and Vienna Bourses report great buoyancy and improvement on the former, and a continued fall in public and private securities on the latter. The French 3 per cent. Rentes rose yesterday as much as 35 centimes, and the 44- stock 75c. Money was easy, and there is no doubt that the improvement will continue. Railway Shares rose from 5 to 10fr., and shares of the Credit Mo bilier were bought at an advance of 17f. 50c. The international society, for the adoption of uniform weights, measures, and moneys, through out Europe, terminated their extraordinary meet ing, at the Palace of Industry, Paris, very satis factorily. The association is now considered to be fully organised, and will continue to propagate in formation on this important question until they succeed in effecting some measure approximating to the objects in view. It has been decided that the central committee will be established in Paris, and be in regular communication with local committees appointed in the principal cities of Europe. Al ready these have been formed in London, Madrid, Lisbon, and Vienna, and at Berlin and some cities of the Zollverein matters are in progress. Advices from French Guiana to the 17th Oct°• ber have arrived, wherein it is announced that gold has been discovered in that colony, on the river Approuagece. The discoverer, Felix Coney, states that he has dug up and washed about 150 grammes weight, amongst which is a nugget R*ILWA Otoitink Priem yesterday. - St. 11) 1;74 imbg. Nottrig.

Already a company has been formed to work out the discovery on an extensive scale, which will have the advantage of proceeding in their operations upon the experiences of gold miners from California. The official Gazette of Cayenne publishes the fact with authority, and looks for ward to the beneficial results which will accrue to the colony from the discovery. In consequence of the instalment of 10 per cent. on the English Loan having to be paid yesterday an active demand for money existed, and in most cases the Bank of England minimum rate was ex ceeded. No difficulty, however, was experienced, and this liability, amounting to 1,600,0001., having been discharged, rather an easier feeling will, no doubt, prevail. Rumours have been freely circu lated to the effect that the Government has made some arrangement which will relieve the position of the Bank of England, and an early extension of the note circulation is generally expected. It was stated yesterday afternoon that power will be given for the additional issue of 3,000,0001. of notes. i -- 21 id 62i 63 36 -- 38' .w lb •.• -- •.• 43 - 45 26 .. 27 671 68i :34 8 (t 5 4ad 11 12 444 45; 92 97 8} - 8 .. 4i - 54 The rates current for three months' bills on the various cities of the Continent yesterday afternoon were mostly rather weaker. The English Funds have scarcely supported the latest prices current yesterday after the regular hours of business, but the market nevertheless presents a steady appearance. Such an advance as occurred yesterday, namely, 1 per cent., will, no doubt, tempt a few sales, but with the rise on the Paris Bourse, and the expec tation there as well as here that some financial movement is near at hand, they will not have much effect unless some untoward event occurs.

CORN EXCHANGE. The show of English wheat in to-day's market was very limited, and chiefly composed of Monday's unsold samples, all kinds met a slow sale, but we have sw change to notice in the quotations. We had a very dull inquiry for foreign wheat—the sup ply of which was small, at Monday's currencies. Floating cargoes of grain were firzn, and held for more money. The barley trade was steady, at extreme quotations. Malt was quite as dear as last week. There was a fair demand for oats, at full quotationn. Beans and peas were firm ; but flour met a dull inquiry.

By the interchange of friendly 100 feelings, which would thus be created, and by pro. 10 muting objects of interest to the profession generally, 5 the promoters of the society believe that much advan tage would be derived, while from its corporate character the association is expected to attain an influence which, rightly directed, may be productive of the most impor- 1 tint and beneficial resulto.—.Liverpo4 441 m. 643 20 I a; 25 I al 1001 51 25 al 25 al MONEY MARKET SHARE MARKETS.

Yesterday a meeting of gentlemen connected with the mining interest wm hold at the Old South Sea-house, Threadneedle -street ; Mr. Boyle in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said it had frequently been repre sented to him that it would be highly desirable for all parties interested in mining transactions to have a place where they could meet to facilitate their business, and be felt certain that the present system. was not calculated to raise the respectability of the mining community. It was proposed to name a committee to frame certain rules, which he hoped would be drawn up in a liberal manner. not only to claim the support of the members, but induce the public to have confidence in their proceedings. He would not allude to any similar institution now in existence, but at the same time they must avoid having a " family" committee, or being under the dictation of a firm, which course they might rely would cause distrust. (Hear, hear.) He could only remark that the foundation of much larger associations than he could expect this to be had been started by a much less number of gentlemen than those he saw around him, and if they acted with energy they might depend upon a successful result. Mr. GUEDALLA attended the meeting unsolicited. He felt that the public had not sufficient facilities for mining transactions. The holder 3 in foreign mines had got quite sick of them, and it was absurd to go to Spain, Portugal, or Germany, when there was a fair chance for speculation in England. The prices at the present time were also marked to suit certain parties, and, as an instance, he would state that "United Mines were marked 2251. when the real price was 2801. He wished success to the new undertaking, and would at once subscribe to it ; and, if he approved of the rules, would induce his friends to join it. . _ The CHAIRMAN then proposed the first resolution, " That a mining subscription-room be established." Mr. CUMBERLAND, in seconding the resolution, said he was largely interested in mining matters, and, being one of the public, considered the formation of such an in stitution highly desirable. He did not come into the market to buy and sell, but purely for investment, and if dealers, brokers, and capitalists met together, he be lieved it would be beneficial to all. (Hear.) The resolution was carried unanimously. A lengthened conversation then ensued, which termi nated in a committee being appointed for drawing up the rules and regulations, which are to be submitted to a general meeting on Tuesday. The following gentle men were appointed the committee, viz. Croft, Messrs. Boyle, Cumberland, Hallett, Field , T. P. Thomas, Pike, Sibley, and Hussey ; and M r . Ward, hon. secretary. A vote of thanks was pas sed to the respectably attended, separated. chairman, and the meeting, which was ve r y full y and THE KING'S COUNTY OTITRAGE.-Mr. Beacham con t4mes to improve, and is progressing fast towards re eovery. A letter from Constantinople of the Bth rays that Marshal Pelissier has sent to Paris the Russian flag which was captured at liiubourn, HEALTH OP LONDON DURING THE WEEK. ( From the Registrar-General's Report.) The rate of mortality in last week was ra'her higher than it hal been in October, but was still considerably below that which commonly prevails at this advanced period of the year, though the health of old persons has probably suffered already from the cold and fog of No vember. In the week that ended on Saturday 975 deaths, of which 527 were those of males, and 448 those of females, were registered in London, being 177 le , s than the &vet age mortality of corresponding weeks in the years 1845 54, if raised in proportion to increase of popu lation. Diseases of the zymotic class are in the aggregate less fatal than usual ; the mortality from diseases of the respiratory organs is nearer the ordinary amount, and shows a slow but constant increase. Fatal cases included in the latter class rose above 100 in the last week of Seutember ; in the last six weeks they were 110, 114, 122, 140, 157, and 171. Of these 171 nearly a half is referred to bronchitis. Phthisis carried off 123 personS, of whom 52 were from 20 to 40 years of age, and 43 be tween the ages of 40 argl 60 years. Of diseases from which children principally suffer, scarlatina prevails most at present. Sixty five deaths were caused by it in the week ; 3 in St. John, Padding ton, 7 in St. John, Westminster (besides 4 from typhus), 6 in the district of Pancras, 9 in the two sub-districts of Lambeth Church. At a house in George-street, Lam beth, a family lost three children in two days from scar latina ; and the registrar states that the di ease is again very prevalent in that locality. Toe registrar of St. John, Westminster, reports that scarlatina and typhus prevail to some extent in his district, and that of the 7 deaths from the former, 4 occurred in one locality, Pon son by-place, Milthank. There was also one in Ponson by terrace. Three Lascars (lied of scurvy on the 9th and 10th November on board the Dreadncught hospital-ship. Last week the births of 855 boys and 785 girls, in all 1,640 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1845-54 the average number was 1,391 weeks. • At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the barometer rose to 30.13 in. by noon on Fi iday. The mean reading was above 30 in. in five days, and the mean of the week was 30.006 in. On Sunday (the 11th) the thermometer rose to 57 deg., and on that day the mean temperature was 5.6 deg. above the average; after Tuesday the air was cold, and on several days fogs prevailed. On Thurs day and Friday the thermometer fell so low as 28.5 deg. and 25.7 deg. ; and on those days the mean was about 8 deg. below the average. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 41.4 deg., while that of the water of the Thames was 46.7 deg. The fog was thickest on Thursday and on the morning of Friday ; and on the former day the lowest temperature of the Thames was 16.7 deg. above the lowest temperature of the air. The difference between the dew-point temperature and the air temperature was only 2.7 deg. The wind blew ge nerally from the north-east, but the air was for the most part calm.

The St. James's Medley. John Mitchell, 33 7 Old Bond-street. Under this somewhat quaint and courtly title the fourth number of a new and by no means dull and assuming serial is presented to our notice. On the contrary, in "The St. James's Medley, or (to give its alias) Fiction, Facts, and Fancies from the Roadside of Life," we are persuaded the public will recognise a lively, unassuming, and decidedly meri torious magazine —one in which amusement and instruction are judiciously blended, and which may confidently challenge the approbation of a wide circle of readers, including young and old, clerical and lay, and all to whom the question of cost is or is not a matter of indifference. A convietion of this sort, of course, implies a knowledge of its con tents, and, so far as the present number is con. cerned, we confess at once to obedience to the prayer of one of the mottoes affixed to the title page, viz., the following quotation from a quaint old writer :—" One word, reader, and then God speed thee. .Do not open it at adventures, and by reading the broken pieces of two or three lines judge it; but read it through, and then I beg no pardon if thou dislikest it."—(Thos. Adams.) Recommending the reade r t o f o ll ow our example, and begin at the beginning, and go right on to the end, we can promise him by way of encouragement a large instalment of an able and graphic descrip tion of " Wellington and his Times ;" long and exceedingly interesting paper on " The Jews in England ;" a pleasing and somewhat exciting sketch of travel and adventure in North Wales ; a startling auto-description (freely translated from the French) of the state of feeling of one about to undergo the last penalty of the law ; a few choioe lines "In Memoriam,' presenting a beautiful and touching picture ; some very readable leaves from the " Diary of a Blind Traveller in Spain," a poli tical article, which lie may let alone or read as ho likes ; and a number of pithy literary notices—the whole constituting a medley which, if after fairly reading it through, he dislikes, we in our turn " beg no pardon" of him. F rom th e ar ti c l e on " The Jews in England" it would appear that they are 40,000 in number, one-half, or 20,000, residing in London. After a vivid description of the man ners, customs, and general condition of this singular race, the writer forcibly (perhaps a little harshly) remarks:—"Let them retain their peculiar usages if they will ; let them cling to their super stition, until common senso and mental freedom rid them of her iron fetters ; but if the middle and higher classes are to be raised to a status of real respect and honour, the resurrection must be from within, and the lower class must rise with them. They must be washed, combed, and educated in body as well as mind. Fresh air, sunshine, clean liness, and self-respect will soon help to rid them of moral miasma, mental darkness, and social de gradation." One more quotation, and we are done —it embraces the opening and concluding stanzas of the lines " In Memoriam :" " As sunlight dies along the wall, So dies Life's light from out her face ; And o'er the hazel eyes' sweet grace The weary e;elids softly fall. Her soul, untroubled, undistressed, It's faith by gentle patience proves ; Her lips but one faint murmur moves ; She saith, lord, take me to thy rest " So end "all Christian souls. ' LORD NAAS ON THE WAR. The noble ex• Secretary for Ireland met his con stituents of the borough of Coleraine last week at a public dinner, in order to give an account of his stewardship since the political interests of the town were placed in his keeping. After touching upon a variety of topics, local and domestic, his lordship proceeded to discuss the great question of the day, —the war with Russia : " Whatever (said Lord Naas) may be said of the origin of the war, there can be but one opinion now,—that as long as it lasts it should be coeducted with vigour and determination. (Loud applause.) I, in common with many, have always believed that this contest might have been avoided at first ; that more vigour in our warlike preparation, and more frankness and plain-speaking in our diplomacy, might have saved us from all the Isomers and misery that have occurred ; but I am no t the less sure that our quarrel is just. I am not the less willing to give every support to her Majesty's Govern ment in their laudable efforts to sustain the honour and procure the safety of this country. It is true that. the origin of the war may be somewhat forgotten ; some of its first objects may be already obtained—the Princi palieiss are safe, Turkey relieved from imminent danger, and the Russian fiest has ceased to exist ; but it does not therefore follow from that that a peace patched up at this moment would be a lasting one. Wars cannot be limited like diplomatic disputes, and regulated by strict rule. You cannot conduct or conclude a war as you wouA demonsti ate a proposition in Euclid. (Hear, beer.) Human passions, national feeling, the aspect of neutral States, military success, or the reverse, are con tinually altering the character of the contest. Once the blessed bond of peace is severed, and the havoc of war begun, belligerent Powers are no longer hound by treaties and conferences, but each party has a right to make the best of the situation, and concession= on one side or the other which might have been accepted as preventa tives of war are not always to be considered, after we have made enormous sacrifices, as certain restora tives of peace. Thus it is in my opinion right to con tinue this contest, as we have it now in cur power, till Russia is deprived of that maritime supremacy in the Black Sea which has been the cause of all this trouble. I cannot think that as lung as she retains that enormous seaboard in the Euxine, with those almost unassailable stroneholds, that object has been attained. We have hitherto been successful. Through the endurance and courage of our soldiers we have succeeded in every attempt. The allied armies have won three pitched battles, have taken a city after a siege unparalleled in history, and with it 2,000 pieces of cannon. They are in possession of four important p os iti ons on th e enem y' s territory. They have established a force (now well sup plied) in one of these positions of more than 150,000 men, attended by 100 sail of fighting ships, and an in numerable fleet of transports; and with these advantages, gained by the valour of our brothers and of our sons, are we to limit our demands to those weary four points, or make peace by the assistance of German inscrutability or the terms of the Vienna Conference ? No, gentlemen, such a peace will never satisfy this country. (Cheers.) This matter must be settled finally and fur ever. We must endeavour to place the recurrence of the events of the past year beyond all human possibility, and if our terms may seem to some too ha - rsh, and our demands ton exacting, it is because we wish to be certain of our ob ject, "as skilful surgeons cut beyond the wound to make the cure complete." I may be told that these opinions, if carried into practice, would lead to 30 years of war. On the contrary, gentlemen, I believe they would lead to 50 years of peace. Look to the state of Europe. Cast your eye over the map. You will find there but one aggressive power ; that is our enemy. The Western alliance is complete. Those two great nations, Eng land and France, bound together by the closest ties of fellow-feeling and self-interest, will every day feel more and more the advantages of their amity. But, though these two nations feel that combined they are a match in power for the rest of Europe, is an alliance of peace. They seek no cess. They look fur no territorialaggrandisement. , curb the ag gressor, seek but to defend the weakl t® 6 balance and to maintain in Europe the present None of them th l e i i t r ar a y suc of power.

But, while I would support this war now, I would be far from saying that circumstances might not arise when I would with equal ardour sipper! the cause of peace.
