(From the Registrar-General's Return.) The bills of mo r t a lit y were commenced in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and ever since the year 1603 have been published by authority in London. In this respect the English metropolis stands alone ; no weekly tables of the causes of the death of every in habitant are published in the :capital of any other European state. Various motives for the measure have been assigned ; but the fact of continuous publi cation from a period anterior to the appearance of newspapers and gazettes is remarkable and charac teristic. It may be fairly referred to the natural inclination of the English people when they are in trouble to know the truth, and to see in figures the precise extent of their losses, although at times the sight might well make the courage of the bravest quail. On the continent "precautions have been used " in publishing the mortality from cholera in 1849, and the deaths from all causes have not yet been made known. The parish clerks of London in the 17th century, when the plague was at its height, counted the deaths and recorded their supposed causes; and the citizen, when the death-cart tra• versed the streets, anxiously studied the bill, sur rounded by its gloomy symbolical border, announcing 8,297 deaths in a week out of a population of 600,000. In the ha,ds of Price, Ileberden, Willis, Bateman, and other statists, these records have disclosed the laws of mortality, and the causes of the insalubrity of the present cities. thie of their immediate advantages, however, is the vidence which they furnish that the most fatal and threatening plagues go through, with some perturba tions, certain prescribed orbits ; and, after raging for a given number of weeks, disappear. Plague,in fluenza, and cholera have been vanquished before; and to despair now would be as u n r e asonable as i t was in the beginning of the year to deny that the cholera epidemic was impending. Those officers who are struggling with the triumphant enemy under every disadva titage w ill yet b e v i ctors ; for, if they have art, they have also nature on their side. The mortality in the week ending Saturday, Sep• tember Bth, declined in the west and east districts of London, and increased slightly in the north and central districts, the deaths registered (1,741) on the north side of the Thames being 19 less than in the previous week. It was otherwise on the south side of the river, where the deaths in the week were 1,442 I The total deaths registered in London were 3,183: of males, 1,460 ; females, 1,723. The deaths of females exceeded the deaths of males by 263, the reverse of the usual proportions. The deaths from cholera were 2,026 ; the numbers decreased in the districts of 'horeditch, Bethnal-green, Whitechapel, Stepney, Westminster; increased in Bermondsey, St. George, Southwark, Newington, Lambeth, Wandsworth, Cam berwell, and Rotherhithe. The epidemic, which had been partially subdued, broke out again with terrible violence in Lambeth, where 279 persons died of cholera in the week. Mr. Dawes, oRe of the registrars of Lambeth, who has made careful inquiries on the subject, says, "At least half the cases I have registered were allowed to proceed unchecked until the most alarming and dangerous symptoms had manifested themselves; but lately more circumspection seems to have been used. Nevertheless, the cases are still numerous in which persons seem (from the painless nature of the attack) to be unconscious how highly necessary it is that immedi a t e a tt en ti on s h ou ld b e paid to it." People are so much accustomed to associate danger exclu sively with pain that the most fatal symptom, unac companied by pain, is neglected. They must, how ever, be taught to look upon painless diarrhaa with the anxiety that people in the plague looked upon the swellings called " tokens"—which were also painless —but with less fear ; for the premonitory symptom now seems to be sent, not so much to announce death as to give timely warning, and to call attention to that stage of the malady in which medicine can heal. As medical skill is of most avail at the beginning and end of a fever, as the effect of the engines is most conspicuous at the outbreak and end of a conflagra tion, and as most energy is demanded when the wreck nears the shore, so it is in an epidemic, which, if it has not been checked at first, may yet be cut short, and combated with effect, as it declines. None of the mea , ures of relief in any district should therefore be discontinued, but be prosecuted with redoubled vigour, until it has been completely subdued ; and the districts which have not yet suffered greatly should imme diately complete their preparations, for the time is short, and the evils of delay irreparable. The deaths from cholera in the last twelve weeks respectively have been-49, 124, 152, 339, 678, 763, 926, 823, 1,229, 1,272, 1,663, and 2,026. THE BERMONDSEY MURDER. FURTHER PARTICULARS. The police are still actively employed in tracing out further evidence respecting the murder of O'Con nor, and the disposal of the property in his possession when he was murdered. It has been ascertained that when he left his lodgings on the morning of the oth of August, he had a nearly new suit of clothes on, a valuable Is atch end chain, and a considerable sum in his possession. Although every search has been made for the murdered man's clothing by the police in the house, 3, Minver-place, and in the prisoner's boxes, DO portion of them could be discovered. It was clear that they had not been burnt, as no ashes of the in or of cloth were seen among the dirt ; con sequently the police have made active inquiries among the clothes-dealers, and yesterday they ascertained that a man, fully answering the description of Nan ning, offered several articles of clothing of a superior description fur sale to several dealers in Petticoat lane on the Monday after the murder. The police are now making very active inquiries about the clothes, and from information received last night there is every reason to believe that they will be found, and that the purchaser will come forward and identify Manning as the party who sold them. It was stated yesterday morning that Mr. Hammond, one of the stock-brokers'clerks who purchased O'Con nor's stock, was suffering severely from cholera, and that all hopes of recovery were given over. Bassett, his fellow clerk, who died on Saturday, has left a wife and a large family entirely penniless, and she attributes his death to the excitement attending his witnessing the disinterment of the murdered man and his subsequent attendance at the police -court to give evidence against Alarming. He was perfectly well on Friday, and died on Saturday morning, the day after the last examination. HARLOW HORSE, CA TTLE , S HEEP , AND P IG F AIR, SEPT. 10.—This fair, which is next in importance, and immediately succe€ds that of Barnet, commenced yester day. The fresh arrivals of store beasts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, &c., together with the unsold stock from Barnet, caused this fair to be well supplied. For store beasts the trade was exceedingly flat until twelve o'clock, when an influx of buyers arriving by the Eastern Counties Railway, business was more lively, some of the choicest beasts being selected, but sales could only be effected by the sellers submitting to a reduction of from 103 to I/. per head from the prices obtained at Bernet fair, when a great clearance was made. The horse fair was most abundantly supplied, the very prime cart-horses fully supporting their prices, making from .50 even up to 75 guineas; middling else, 40 to 50 guineas each; carriage horses and bunters sold at high prices, 70 to 100 guineas each being given in many instances for young and sound animals; for old and inferior horses there were but few buyers, at very low prices. To the credit of the great breeders of cart colts from Norfolk and Suffolk, the droves they exhibited at this fair were of a splendid description, two years old making from 25 to 35 guineas each; three years old, 40 to 50 guineas each—Messrs. Hoy, from Kent, Hills, from Sussex, and Kettle, from Surrey, being very extensive buyers; poneys under 13 hands high sold freely at from 101. to 151. each. Sheep went off slowly, although offered at very reduced prices—four and six-tooth wethers, to go on turnips, made from 28s. to 345.; hoggets, 245. to 275. each; ewes, 225. to 265. each; lambs, 12s. to !Ss. each. Piga plenti ful, from the bacon hog to the little suckler, large hogs making from 4s. to 4s. 4d. per atone of Blb ; quarter old stores, 16s. to 225.; little suckers, Bs. to 12s. each, very few being left unsold. between precept and practice wa THE SLEEPERS OP GWYDYR HOESsEp.--erhTahpediffer encesneve; better exemplified than in the last report from the General Board of Health. The Board rort complains bitterly authorities, of the conduct of certain local who, when re_ quested to take measures of pr ecaution a g ainst a threa tenedc oedo o f u d t o b i r o e g a kaof anything b present;" and such cond uct , we admit, d e serves to be m resolved that there was " no a roost bitterly complained o f ; b ut the complaint p roc eeds ochuy enough from a B oar d t h at o f the selfsame dereliction of duty. When an is g uilty c reates a Board for the pu r p ose o f e in Act of Parliam ent protecting large towns, by sanitary r egu l a ti ons, from the inroads of disease—when large towns ask the said Board to come to their relief according to the Act —and when such applications for relief are not only unattended to, but are allowed to reniali unnoticed on the table of the Board—when all thes e thi ngs happen, we thi n k we noes well say, with our able contemporary the Economist, that the Board of Health " seems to exhibit quite us much zeal to increase its authority and make itself implicitly obeyed, Es t ,- ) ensure measures of precaution to check the cholera." Zeal, indeed! Why, the cholera might have made twenty visits—and pretty long ones, too—to this borough, since application was made by our Town Council for relief from Gwydyr House; and still the sleepers there are not to bo wakened. If such conduct, however, be persevered in, it will be well if they be not called upon, some day or other, by wore towns than one, to " Shake off this downy sleep, Death's counterfeit, Anil look on Death itself!" —Gateshead Übserver. NEW SCHOOLS BOA THE I'OOR.—ST.

The schools are to be built in the Elisabethan style of architecture, and will accom modate 300 children. The brother of the Hon. T. B.

The barony and estate of Islay, con prising the island of Islay and small adjacent islands is in the same latitude as Edinburgh and Glasgow, and is one of the richest and most productive properties in the west of Scotland. It contains about 140,000 acres, of which 34,001 are arable, the rest being luxuriant pasture. The present rental of this magnificent property amounts at present to 20,0001.; but a Gove•nment grant of 30,0001. is now being ex pended in drainage ani imp.ovemerts. The rents are periodically and legitimately increased as the leases fall in, and it is evident that such a property must, under improved agriculture, afford a much larger return. The purchase, it is expected, will be effected for about 500,0001., and it is proposed to raise a capital for this purpose, and contingent expenses, of 600,0001., in 12,000 501. shares, each shareholder to nominate a life, and the whole body of nominees to be insured out of the rental, so as to secure the repayment of his subscription to every shareholder whose nominee lapses. The remainder of the accumulated rental Is to be divided every ten years amongst the surviving shareholders, the last survivor to inherit the estate. On the basis 'of 12,000 policies, in respect of the 12,000 nominees, it is further contemplated to ingraft the general business of a life assurance company, so as to secare an annual dividend of prate. _ . Thus it will be seen that every person taking a share in the Ton tine, will, under any circumstances, receive back the amount of his Investment out of the assurance fund, and will also, by way of in terest on his shares, receive an annual dividend out of the profits of the general life assurance department (and the basis and guarantee indicated cannot fall to make this branch most extensive and lucra tive) ; ho will, moreover, participate, every ten years h's nominee sarvlves, in the accumulated and constantly improving rental ; and, in the event of his nominee being the last survivor, will become the absolute owner, in fee simple, of the entire estate. It is also to be observed that, as the nominees diminish in number, the marketable value of the shares will year after year be greatly en hanced. The principles of the proposed Tontine have been maturely con sidered by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq., the eminent actuary of the Me dical and Invalid Assurance Company, and received his entire ap probation. The estete is to be vested in three trustees, resident in Scotland. The affairs of the Society shall be conducted by a board of seven direetors in Scotland, communicating with a board of correspondence in London.

PORTSMOUTII, TUESDAY. — The following officers passed examinations at the Royal Naval College this day, qualifying for the rank of lieutenants :—Messrs. Hamilton, Millman, Calvert, Smith, Doran, Stupart, Winnyett, and Whymper. The Scout, T 4, Commander Johnstone, has brought up in Yarmouth roads, from stress of weather. An officer brought up her pay-books yesterday, and the Myrtle steam tender took him back and brought up her supernumeraries. The Queen Indiaman, a noble specimen of naval architecture, sailed from Spithead, outward bound, this morning. The Comet, Madeira packet, arrived here yester day, ani sailed this morning for London. The Castor, 36, Commodore Wyvill, touched at Santa Cruz, Teneriffe, on the sth of July, and sailed on the 6th for the Cape of Good Hope. The Cormorant steam-sloop, Commander Schom berg, went out of harbour this morning to Spithead, where she took in her ammunition, &c. She will be inspected to-morrow, and probably sail in the evening for Plymouth. It is supposed she will take the advertised mails to Rio, Buenos Ayres, and Val paraiso, intended for the Daedalus corvette, which was announced to sail with them on the 10th, but is prevented by her captain being a member of the pending court-martial on Commander Pitman. The Phcenix steam-sloop, Commander Wodehouse, was at Madeira on the 25th ult., cn route from this port to the western coast of Africa—all well. The Calypso, 20, Captain Worth, arrived at Rio from Valparaiso on the 13th of July, with 2,750,000 dollars on merchants' account for England. She is hourly expected at this port. The Hydra steam-sloop, Commander Skipwith, left Rio on a cruise after slavers on the 12th of July. Wind, S.W. by W.; fresh breezes and find weather. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—The epidemic that for the last three or four months has prevailed amongst U 3 to a greater or less degree has now assumed a more destructive cha racter. We are deeply grieved to announce the result of yesterday's returns to the Board of Health. No less than 432 persons have fallen victims to the cholera within the limits of the bills of mortality for the metro polis in a single day. Why disguise the fact from our selves, or endeavour to shut our eyes to the . truth when our only chance of safety consists in looking the truth boldly in the face? If any additional reason were want ing to urge us to a course the policy of which is recom mended by common sense, and confirmed by all past ex perience, it would be found in the disgraceful biclserings and dissensions now prevailing amongst those boards whose single thought should be a care for the public safety. Would it be believed that while cholera is kill ing off the inhabitants of London at a rate exceed• ing 3,000 persons a week—if the rate of yes terday's mortality continues—the various City cum missione, or boards, aro devoting their time to internal strife, or to conflicts with Isindred jurisdic tions? We are assured that the Health Committee of. the Corporation of the city of London is upon the point of resignation, because the Court of Common Council has very properly refused to establish a cholera hospital in the old Fleet Prison. Than there is deadly striae between the City of London Board of Guardians and the officer of health for the City of London, because he is under the jurisdiction of the Sewers Commission and of the Corporation. Of course, it would ill beseem the dignity of these magnates to submit to the dictation of a mere officer of health. The Chairman of the City of London Union—Alderman Gibbs—snaps his fingers at the Lord Mayor and the Corporation. He has the law on his side—why should he not be firm? It is clearly a matter of more importance to stickle on a point of law than to save the lives of a few hundred fellow-creatures ! The loss of life establishes no evil precedent. The Lord Mayor and the Corpora tion, finding that Alderman Gibbs has got the wind of them in point of law, are forced to appeal to the General Board of Health. 'When the Inspector of the Board of Health comes amongst them, he finds his time so taken up in composing the differences of these irritable jurisdictions, that he has none to spare for so secondary a matter as the arrangements which might possibly arrest the progress of the plague. Such is the disgraceful state of facts which it i s our duty to lay before the public in connexion with the returns indicating the virulent and fatal character which the prevailing disease has now assumed. It must be f or others than ourselves to decide upon the steps that should be taken to terminate the ill-timed differences of these conflicting jurisdictions. These stubborn officials, how ever, cannot be allowed to trifle in so heinous a manner with the lives of their fellow-subjects. There cannot be any position clearer than that, under Providence, we have in our own hands the means of depriving this fear ful pestilence of half its power. Read the r e turns of the Registrar-General , a nd consider for a moment the localities in which nine• tenths of the mortality has taken place! It is such spots as Lambeth, Bethnal green, Shoreditch, and others of the same character, which have furnished the figures that have mainly gone to swell the returns. Scattered cases, indeed, may be found here and there in almost every district of the metropolis, but it is only where there is imperfect sewerage, where processes of filthy industry are car ried on, where the graveyard is rank, and the black ditch pours forth its miasma, that whole streets are depopulated. Is it possible to avoid the inference from these facts? Again , it is certain, that h owe v er doctors may disagree as to the origin of cholera, or as to the remedies which should be used when it has de.. veloped itself, there is concordance amongst them on one point, and one point alone. All say, "Let us see the patient before the disease has developed itself, and the system has been thoroughly impregnated with the cho leraic virus, and it will go hard with us but we shall save him. We cannot cure dead men, and it is to men virtually dead that we are too often called in." Here, then, are two means of safety clearly in our power— namely, the purification of unwholesome localities, and the affording of timely medical advice, when a sim ple diarrhosa has given notice of the impending plague. We do not, of course, affirm that the strictest attention to these two points will keep us invulnerable, but it will certainly save many valuable lives. Wo have not, however, done yet. An order from the Board of health, at the recommendation of Mr. Grainger, has recently been sent down to the churchwardens of St. Saviour's, Southwark, directing them to close a particular burial-ground in their district called the " Cross-bones" burial-ground. Yesterday evening a meeting was held in the vestry-room of the parish church, at which it was solemnly resolved to dis obey this order. Leaving out of the question the alle gations made as to the foul and inhuman scenes which have occurred in this graveyard, it was shown by Mr. Clarke, one of the speakers at the meeting, who had a sufficiency of good sense to support the order of the Board of Health, that '` from 1826 to 1845 there had taken place 8,033 burials in this parish, and these 8,033 bodies would take 12,000 square feet of surface, allowing a foot and a half to each, and a depth of six feet; that was, supposing them to be buried upright. Their chief graveyard contained only 6,000 feet, and the others did not contain 6,000 more. They had been told that graves could be dug in the middle of the ground to a depth of 16 feet without touching a coffin, and, if that were so, he would ask what had become of the 8,033 bodies which had been deposited in the nineteen years, which were sufficient to fill double the space, and which would take thirty years to decompose?" The very seconder of the original motion for disobeying the order of she Board of Health is reported to have said that had the prohibition of intramural interment been general, or had it extended to the whole of the southern bank of the river, he would not have opposed it. There is just this reason for taking the worst cases first, that probably there would be a serious inconvenience in burying the dead were the pro hibition made to extend at once over too extensive an area. But there is no doubt that the filthy custom of burying the dead in the midst of the living will soon be entirely prohibited in London. As a step towards so desirable a consummation, we earnestly trust that the Board of Health will make their order imperative upon the churchwardens of St. Saviour's, Southwark. POST.—i t is with pleasure we observe that the crime of secret poisoning is not likely to be lost sight of by the public. The numerous letters which have appeared in this and in other journals prove the interest which has been excited; and, as the /Wonting Post was the first paper that seriously considered the matter, with a view to the prevention of the enormity, we cannot otherwise than rejoice in the knowledge that our example has been generally followed. Dr. Toogood, in a letter which ap peared in our columns on Monday last, again reverts to the subject, which he has long studied, and in his pro fe.sional capacity is well qualified to speak upon. As an answer to some of our objections, he informs us that Mr. S. Sturton, chemist, of Ely, for somo time past has kept a register of arsenic, and has been in the habit of requiring the signatures of the person to whom the poison was sold, and of a witness, by whom Mr. S S. Sturton de manded that the purchaser should be accompanied. One portion, therefore, of Dr. Toogood's plan has been adopted, and the circumstance is in the highest degree creditable to the tradesman who, for the security of the public, voluntarily subjected him self to such restrictions. Until the law is amended we could wish other druggists would act with similar prudence and gentfine liberality; for at a time when business is notoriously bad, and competition beyond pre cedent fierce, we feel that the tradesman displays a spirit worthy of commendation when he incurs trouble and hazards offence to protect the feelings or interests of society. Mr. S. Sturton has done well, but Dr. Too good will, we think, admit that a solitary fact, or even a number of like cases, would not serve to establish the point he is desirous of making evident, The people of Ely may not be, and we hope are not, dispo se d to tam• per with poisons, and of those who signed Mr. Sturton's register, not one may have sought to po ssess, f or mur derous purposes, the arsenic they obtain e d. Th e b oo k, therefore, has been kept, but in what way are we to k now that it has operated as a decided check upon seoret poi soning? Let us acknowledge that a proof lik e t h at h ere required, it would be extremelydifficult, if not impossible, to produce; sines: the regulation, supposing it to have acted as its originator desires , would, by preventing crime, destroy the only evidence that could be ad duced of its efficacy. A confession even would not be conclusive, since many persons contemplate deeds which subsequently they do not commit, and we con sequen tly cannot expect that Mr. Sturton or Dr. Too goo d s h ou ld bring forward the evidence wh ich could confirm their views concerning the practical utility of re g i s t ers an d signatures in the sale of arsenic. On the other hand, however, we have positive knowledge that the presence of a witness has been no check upon the evil intentions of a murderess, and equally well it is demonstrated that people whose thoughts are possessed by an evil idea be come insensible to the dangers which oppose or surround its gratification. Murder despises caution, and on the protection which is based upon its fears or f ores i g h t we are reluctant to place much reliance. Mr. Sturton pro poses that arsenic should be sold to no party who cannot write his name; and this suggestion Dr. Toogood seems to commend. The proposer and seconder no doubt advance much that gentility would approve in support of their suggestion, but we cannot assent to th e w h o l esa l e accusation which it implies. 'Those who d o not read or write are not among our subscribers, but in the n ame of humanity at large we must protest against any law which would cast a heavy imputation upon a class. Rush, Wilson, and others were not uned ucated; and the most frightful of recent crimes have been perpetrated by persons who at all events had been t o sc h ool. The illiterate are not necessarily the depraved, neither would it be just to stigmatise the very r humble as th e on ly order capable of secret crime. rho poor have feelings as warm, and consciences as pure, as those of the mid dle or higher ranks, and the poor also a re engaged in those pursuits for the following of which arsenic is law. fully required. lie who could not farm a letter of the alphabet might, nevertheless , stand in need of a littl e arsenic to complete a work on which he was engaged; and must he go to school in order to procure it, or be suspected of intent to murder because he si m ply see k s to purchase an ingredient of his trade? The witness who accompanied the purchaser might perhaps be by law required, with somo show of reason, to write his name ; for in the present state of education there could be little difficulty in finding one who possessed so very general a. qualification. If, however, as we have before suggested, the person wishing to procure the poison were obliged to obtain an order from the police, even this provision might be dispensed with; and we certainly would rather that nothing which could appear invidious or proscriptive should be intro duced into any law that may hereafter bo sanctioned. Our readers will have been pleased to learn that the Pro vincial Medical and Surgi. ;al Association have prepared a petition against the indiscriminate sale of poisons. A committee has been appointed to investigate the subject, and of this Dr. James Turistall has been chosen the active member ; his colleagues, with the sanction of the president, having conbded the momentous question to his care. Ia . a paper contributed to a recent number of the journal published by the society, Dr. Tunstall calls upon the members for their assistance, and pl edges himself to devote his leisure towards a full elucidation of the matter, with a view to a practical result, or the accumulation of such a weight of evidence as shall demonstrate the necessity for legislative interference. Tbis is exactly what is re quired, and we are much pteased that the movement has commenced with the medical profession. We do not doubt that the hope excited will be fully realised. The facts and arguments will be collected and arranged, and a memorial thus prepared, and coming from such a body, cannot otherwise than command attention. It will be, to the good sense and feeling of the nation, an appeal which must reflect honour upon the gentlemen by whom it has been originated and matured, while in no sliglit degree will it increase the influence of the society by which it is supported. ST. SAVIOUR'S, SOUTHWARK, AND THE BOARD OF HEALTH. Last evening a large and respectable meeting of the churchwardens, overseers of the poor, and inha bitants of the parish was held in the vestry-room attached to the church, for the purpose of consider ing and determining upon communications received from the General Board of Health, one prohibiting interments in the Cross-bones burial-ground, and the other relative to certain statements made to them as to the condition of the parish graveyard. There were also two other motions upon the paper for discussion —one attributing the prevalence of the present epidemic in a great measure to the state of the gully holes throughout the parish, and the other to the practice of interring the dead in the churchyard of the parish and in the vaults under the church. It will be seen that the latter resolution was in tended to be in direct opposition to the former, the parish being divided into two parties, the one anxious to prevent further interments in the churchyard and Vaults, and the other to continue the practice. Mr. Thomas Bailey, the warden of the Great Ac count, occupied the chair. The minutes of the last meeting having been read and confirmed, Mr. DIGGLES, assistant vestry-clerk, read the corn municatioes referred to. The first was a series of com munications between the Board of Health and the parish, which issued in the immediate closing of the Cross-bones burial-ground. The remaining correspondence consisted of a letter from Dr. Lever, complaining of the churchyard of St. Saviour's parish to the Board of Health, which the board had forwarded to the wardens. The CHAIRMAN said that not having seen the danger referred to he had not closed the burial ground, inasmuch as he felt that if he did so he should be inflicting a great hardship on the poor of the parish, to whom he had been in the habit of giving the fees of the ground. He and his colleagues, therefore, had determined not to close that ground unless it was the feeling of the parishioners generally. The report was then read. It stated that from 1826 to 1835 there had been 5,076 interments in the parish, which had decreased in the next ten years, from 1836 to 1845, to 2,967. From 1829 to 1838 the burials in the public and private vaults had amounted to 177, whilst' in the next ten years, from 1839 to 1848 they had been cnly ninety. During the prevalence of cholera in 1832 there were 163 burials in the churchyard, but in the corresponding months of the present year only fifty-six. In the whole of the houses surrounding the churchyard there had oc curred but four deaths since the Ist of July last, whilst within the last two weeks there has been ninety deaths in the parish. From these and other facts the wardens were of opinion that the burial grounds of the parish were not in a state to require the special interference of the Board of Health. On the motion of Mr. SUTTON, seconded by Mr. RICHARDS, the report was adopted, and ordered to be entered on the minutes. Mr. THWAITES, in moving the first resolution, stated that if the allegations which had been made against the Cross-bones ground were true, he should be the very first to prohibit any further interments there. The speaker went on at considerable length to impugn the conduct of the Board of Health, and concluded by moving the following resolution : " That the closing of the burial-ground of this parish, called the Cross-bones Ground, would entail a serious inconvenience and great additional expense on the poorer inhabitants of this parish, and that inasmuch as the report of Mr. Grainger, on which the Board of Health made their order prohibiting further inter ment therein, is, it is believed, founded chiefly, if not wholly, upon the false and exaggerated statements contained in a letter of Mrs. Gwilt, and without any notice or consideration of the letter of the wardens in reply thereto, a committee be appointed to communi cate with the Board of Health on the subject, and re port thereon to a future vestry." Mr. LINDLEY seconded the resolution. Mr. H. B. CLARKE, the gentleman who gave notice of the second resolution alluded to in the announce ment, then proceeded to observe upon the state of the churchyard. The overcrowding of this yard began to be a crying evil forty years ago, when the laying down of gravestones was prohibited. Ten or twelve years subsequently it was found necessary not only to prohibit the erection of head and foot-stones, but to lower the churchyard, which had grown up to a great height. - The ground was lowered accordingly three feet, and the contents were taken to form the street of Doddington-grove, and if any one would pick up that road, he would find the bones of persons who had been buried in that churchyard. He asserted that the state of the churchyard was a disgrace to civilization and morality. lie had been told for a fact that bodies had been frightfully mangled in order to make room for fresh graves, and it was within his own knowledge that the piercing iron, which was sent down to try the ground, passed through the bodies of many corpses. He begged to move the resolution above referred to, as an amendment on Mr. Thwaites's motion. Mr. SCURRAII seconded the amendment, depreca ting the notion of looking upon this as a pounds, shillings, and pence question. A lengthened discussion ensued, but no new facts were elicited. Ultimately the question was put, when the original resolution was carried al most unanimously, only two hands being held up against it. The committee were then nominated, and on the motion of Mr. PULE, the resolution relative to the gully-holes was agreed to, and after votes of thanks to the chairman and the warden the meeting separated. [PRICE SD. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER RACES. DONCASTER, MONDAY NICHT, TWELVE O'CLOCK.— In addition to those mentioned in our last communica• tion, the following horses have arrived, or will be here in the course of the day :—The Italian, Snowstorm, French Susy, Little Queen, Mark Tapley, Susan Lovell, Saucy Dick.

Brother to Epirote, and one or two others of Scott's, are expected to-morrow. The trains from Leeds, York, and Manchester, brought a small increase of visitors this afternoon, but it was not until the arrival of the special train by the Great Northern line that the slightest approximation to the bustle, which might reasonable have been expected on the eve of a great meeting, was observable ; nine-tenths of the metro politan turfites adopted this route, and it is due to the directors of these officials to state, that although the line into Doncaster has only been opened one week there was not the slightest confusion, the hours of departure and arrival were punctually observed, and the passengers, one and all, expressed their unqualified saticaction with their trip. There was a small muster at the rooms in the even ing, but business was almost at a standstill; nor did a glance at the very meagre bill of fare lead any one to believe that the events of the week would afford scope for any profitable speculation. The only bets were-6 to 4on William the Conqueror for the Cham pagne; 9 to 1 agst Old Dan Tucker, to a small sum, and c l , u o p o . o too:tersagst lay Herbert, 2 to I erbert, fo o r n th th e e S D L u L tc e: m er a ; i4 an o d r 60 to 40 on the Flying Dutch man f or it, and Leger; for the to 5 to 2. 0 f 100 T sous,uEs D A ea Y c, RACES.'sh for Sweepstakes four yrs old.

A heavy fall of rain for several hours during the night led to anticipations, which, we are happy to ssy, have so far been agreeably disappointed; the morning was fine, and, although the sky ever and anon assumed a threat ening aspect, up to the time of dispatching our parcel there bad not been eve❑ a passing shower to mar the little enjoyment derivable from the most indifferent day's sport ever witnessed at Doncaster. It is almost super fluous to add that the company was particularly select, and that, of the four events decided, the Ceara pa:me alone excited any interest. PROBABLE STARTERS FOR THE ST. LEGER.

JAMES HERBERT A;EADik;;FOR 25/. ASIDE.-- The "passage of arms" between this twain of little ones, the weight being limited to 7st 101 b., came off yes terday at Woking Common. The men in miniature are both well known. Adams, whose heigot and reach are much greater than his opponent, on this occasion touching the scale at 7st Mb., while the bull-necked corpus of his adversary, though some inches less in the perpendicular, brought down 7st. nib, and a few ounces. The lists wore pitched at the eft-foughten field near to the railway station, though hidden by intervening ground. At a few minutes before twelve the knights bad made their toilet, by making themselves what our steel-jacketed ancestors called " unready," and stood pre pared for the combat a l'outrance. Like many other tourneys, it was all one way. In the third round Adams, who was certainly " too fine," hurt hie left hand, inde pendently of which he soon after exhibited weakness. Nevertheless, if weak he was not soft, for he struggled on, occasionally showing a good " idea," although his physical capabilities were insufficient for carrying it out. Herbert, therefore, who was and would be busy,worktd away, and at the close of one hour Jemmy Massey, who with Jemmy Welsh, seconded Adams, very properly threw up the sponge in token of defeat. A second affair followed, between two heavy ones. The first was Brown, a well-known sparrer at Jemmy Shaw's re-unions, the antagonist a countryman, who, for the nonce, took the name of " Barney, although he proved the fight no " barley" by his mode of finishing it. The countryman, who was rather fleshy, looked over 1 Ist., his opponent some 10st. or thereabout. The ball was opened by Brown, who led off with his left, pinking " Mister Barney" in all parts of his florid frontispiece, which he took in most excellent part. This act of the play drawing to a close, Mr. Barney changed the scene, by assuming the offensive, most offensively; he rushed on Mr. Brown, delivering ambi-dexterously, till that gentleman was done on both sides, and at last came with what Thomas Hood has termed his " third side" to the ground, in a state of puzzlement, from which he only awoke to find he had lost the stakes contended for, in seventy-five minutes from the time he clenched his first, in the full assurance that he was clever enou g h to win them. MIDDLESEX HosnTAL. weekly meeting of the Board of -I (.;t 6 v e :r r n d :r Y s f th th e e above hospital was held in the B o ard -room, for the transaction of general business. Aft e r the usual business, a discus ,ion then arose as to the propriety of rescinding the standing rule for dmou ission of patients by governors' the prevalence of the pre s e n t lettearsdinagndfatotativelmpidrireing , freely all cases of cholera arid prev olcol, which was ordered. It appears that the n um b er of in and out-patients is daily ou the increase, there having been upwards of 300 cases of diarrhoea, and upwards of 60 cases of cholera. DEATH OF MR. MUSTERS.—This gentleman ex pired on Saturday last, at one of his country residences, Annesley-park, aged 72. Ile was the fortunate rival of Lord Byron, and was married to Miss Chaworth, the noble poet's " Mary," in 1806, when his Lordship was but a minor. He is succeeded in his immense posses along by his grandson John, a boy 13 years of age. The doctrine that the necessity of labour is a blessing, and not a curse, cannot be insisted upon too strongly. It is to this very necessity that mankind owes not only its first redemption from the savage state, but every step of its advance in a civilization, from which, we trust, a great deal more may be expected still.—Eliza Cook's Journal. DIVISION OF PROFITS. The continued prosperity of the Society has enabled the Directors at the Annual Meeting, hell on the 10th of May, 1848, to declare a -lath bonus, varying from 27 to 65 per cent. on the Premiums paid en each Policy effected on the profit scale. EXAMPLES. DEFERRED ANNUITIES. By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or, at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk of ferfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives. The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan tages which the Judicious application of a small saving Oil secure through this Society. ROYAL MARINE ARTILLERY. A detachment of about 80 gunners, under the command of Captain Fraser, will leave head quarters to-morrow and proceed by the South Coast Railway to Chatham to relieve the detachment on duty there under Captain Parke. GARRISON APPOINTMENT. Captain F. T. Maitland, on half•pay from the Royal Staff corps, has been appointed Town Major of Ports mouth garrison, vice Lysons, promoted. DOCKYARD BATTALION. The commissions for the officers of the Portsmouth brigade were received on Sunday morning, and were vngie out on Monday. RECAPTURE Or THE CONVICT BOWER.-On the 1 15th of December, 1843, Joseph Bower, Thompson, Binns, Green alias Morrell, Smith, and Burton, were all convicted at Nottingham Assizes before Mr. Justice Parke, of u burglary at the residence of the Rev. R. Meek, of Sutton-Bonington, and sentenced to be trans ported for life. On the evening of the 31st of the same month, the convicts, after a desperate and bloody fight with the keepers, effected their escape from the gaol, and up to the present time, although the country had been scoured in pursuit of them, four only have been retaken, the last being the convict Bower. This fellow for a lengthened period has been living in London, and ultimately took up his abode in Lower Bland•street, near Dover-road, from which place he was proceeding on Wednesday last to Billingsgate to buy a little fish for dinner, when he was recognised and information given to the police. Perceiving himself pursued, Bower took to his heels, but he was soon caught, and though ho made great resistance was quickly secured. The same evening Bradley, a policeman, dispatched a telegraphic message to Nottingham, whence Messrs. Barnes and Jackson set out, identified the convict, who had given his name as Joseph May, a blacksmith, lately living in Devonshire, and on Friday brought him by the last London train to his old quarters at the county gaol. Since his arrival Bower has been gloomy in his manner. and perfectly silent as to his late pur suits. The two convicts remaining at large are Smith and Green. SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY, SEPT. 11.—The Rus sian steam-frigate Kamtschatka, Admiral Von Schants, arrived here this morning from Funchal, Madeira, where she has convoyed his Imperial and Royal Highness the Grand Duke de Leuchtenberg and suite, to take up his residence during the winter months. The Kamtschatka has come to this port merely for a supply of coals, after taking on board which she will sail for Cronstadt, pro bably tomorrow or Thursday. The Rio de Janeiro advices of the 14th of July quote the rate of exchange upon London 25 to 254; and for Paris, 378 to 380. The local stock was marked 87, and freights for the Channel ruled about 455. to 505.; and for London and Liverpool, 40s. to 455. MUNIFICENT DONATION.—An anonymous donor has sent to the Rev. D. Coleridge, the principal of St. Mark's Training College, at Chelsea, the large sum of 1,0001., with directions that it be applied to the exten sion of the college, to effect which great exertions have recently been made by the Bishop of London and the heads of the Church, MR. JUDGE AND THE ROYAL ETCHINGS. (From the Tintes.) We published a few days , since a letter from M r . Judge which seemed, prima facie, to establish a case of hardship. Our readers will see by the following letter from Mr. Anson how unfounded Mr. Judge's statements were, and with how much kindness and charity he has been treated by the royal objects of his unwearied calumny : " Balmoral, Sept. 8. " Madam,—l am commanded to acknowledge the re ceipt of your petition to the Queen for intercession in behalf of your husband, Mr. Judge, and to say that, having been directed to make inquiries into the allega tions brought forward by you, it appears that they are wholly unfounded. Neither have Mr. Strange's costs been added to Mr. Judge's, nor is Mr. Judge's debt owing to his Royal Highness Prince Albert. " Mr. Judge was from the beginning liable for the whole costs; the suit against Mr. Strange was dropped from his having made his submissiou; your husband, on the contrary, obliged it to proceed against him b y follow ing the opposite course, and the heaviness of the costs are entirely the consequence of his pertinacity, and the costs are due to the solicitors employed in the cause. .Any payment of costs, therefore, on the part of her Ma jesty and the Prince would be a gratuitous donation to your husband. "From your knowledge of his unremitting efforts for many years to inflict every possible injury on her Ma jesty, the Prince, their family, and the Court, by a sys• tern of espionage into, misrepresentation and-villifyiug of, all the acts of' their private life, you will be the best judge whether he deserves such a boo n at their hands. Nevertheless, it is repugnant to the feelings of her Ma jesty and his Royal Highness, that inno ce nt persons like yourself and children should sutler in a cause with which their names are in any way connect.ed, and I am commanded to forward to you a cheque for 180/., which you may pay you r husband's costs, and extricate him from prison; and may he in future support his family by a more honourable industry. " Requesting you will acknowledge the receipt of this money, " I am, Madam, your obedient servant, " G. E. ANSON. " Mrs. Judge." ,
