SOCIETY for the RELIEF of DISTRESS.—This • Society derives its origin from the tol lowing cause : That, notwithstanding the operation of t ho peen. law and the numerous existing charitable associatior .s, human beings, although within a stone's throw of t he plenty, i nxurY, and refinement of this wealthy metropolis, die miserably of hunger and the want of the coma ion neces saries of life. To prevent as far as possible the recurrence of an evil so disgraceful to our social system, it is proposed in the first instance to establish a co-operative system of visiting the Per, by aiding and increasing the power of e &tine; local institutions which have this object in view. To bring to the notice of parochial authorities such cases as legitimately I elong to them alone, to aid &Le police and the Mendicity Society, to detect imposture, an.l to bring to the care of hospitals, refuges, penitentiaries, end existing charitable associations those cases for which t'tieir several institutions were established. Special and urgent cases of distress indict tted by the °kin—ministers of all denominations, medics 1 profession, or agents of any existing Society, will be relieved as far as -possible by the judicious application of funds entrusted to - district committees and local responsible persons appointed by them for the purpose. No cases will be relieved by money or otherwim at the central office. The promoters of this movement now come for' ward, not in any spirit of opposition to existing societies, 'but, en the contrary, with the strong desire to co-operate wi t'a and assist them in the arduous task in which they, with such praise worthy zeal and perseverance, have been so many years laboriously engaged. They now claim to be met in the spirit in. which they advance, with the sole purpose of furtheri n • s, by friendly intercourse, the great Christian object whi c l i. all charitable associations have in view. The following noblemen and gentlemen } 4iving combined to form a Guarantee Committee, by whc al the entire ex penses of management are to be defraye• d, the Society now call upon the public to entrust it with the requisite funds, which shall be applied, without the sat allest deduction, to the relief of genuine distress.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing. with no other object than to fill their own purees. The difference between true Spermatorrheea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

VERDICT OF MANSLAUGHTER. Yesterday the adjourned inquest was held in Wol verhampton, on the bodies of the two men, Joseph Elwell and John Legge, who were killed by the bursting of steam-boiler, at the Rough Hills Col liery, near that town, which is now being worked by Messrs. Aston and Shaw. It will be remembered that this was the second fatal boiler explosion at the same colliery within a few days. The inquest had been adjourned for the evidence of John Evans, the engineman, who had had the boiler in his charge up to within about an hour of the accident, and who was injured by the explosion. Evans is still unable to leave his house, but the coroner had taken his deposition. Evans's deposition is to the effect that, on last Monday week, the day before the explosion, the boiler leaked and ran itself nearly dry, that it was turned off, and the engine (a pumping one) worked with only one boiler. That on the following day it ,was cleaned out, Evans himself discovering the crack, and calling Elwelr i s attention to it. El ' Well 'came and tFirriiet the bladiatitiltnifelhrough the crack. Evans desired him to send for a boiler maker and have it repaired, but he declined to do so, and called for a wedge of wood and some hemp. These he drove into the crack, and pronounced the boiler safe. Evans protested, but Elwell ordered him to fill the boiler. It was now three o'clock. At five Elwell himself took charge of the engine and boilers, and Evans "went for the drink for cleaning the boiler." On his return Elwell told him to drop the steam clack, and he placed a large weight on it. A fire had beer. kept up from 3 o'clock. At 6 o'clock the deceased, Legge, took charge of the engine and boilers, and Evans now found that he had got a pressure of 201 b. The steam clack did not then blow off, but when Evans touched it it blew twice. Th© new engineer was accustomed to keep a much fiercer fire than the old one kept. He blamed Elwell for allowing the boiler to be used after he knew it had leaked so much on the Monday. The Coroner saidthat if they believed theevidence of Evans, Elwell was clearly guilty of the man slaughter of Legge, and that, with reference to him self, the jury must return a verdict to the effect that he lost his life in consequence of his own neglect and carelessness in not attending to the boiler which was under his charge. The jury returned the verdict sketched by the coroner, and added a recommendation that there should be duplicate valves and buoys to all boilers, and that competent persons should be appointed to inspect boilers. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. The usual meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held yesterday, in the Council-chamber, Guildhall; Mr. J. Thwaites in the chair.

Mr. Bazalgette, the chief engineer, presented a report on the progress of the main drainage works, which stated that they had, with trilling exceptions, continued locked up by the frost until within the last 10 days, and the large body of workmen and artisans who wore thus thrown out of employment were suffering severely from so long a period of idle ness. The contractors had, however, evinced very great consideration t owar d s t h em, and in addition to the private pecuniary aid afforded by them, they readily co-operat e d w ith t h em i n making arrange ments for the partial employment of the men by carting materials upon the works, and extending their excavations, wherever this could be done without inconvenience to the public, and by engag ing both bricklayers and navvies as labourers indis criminately, changing them in alternate gangs for three days a week each. A quantity of materials were:deposited'.upon the unfinished portion of the line of the northern high level sewer, and although the works had not yet been fairly recommenced there was every reason to expect that they would be speedily completed, Th e con t rac t w ith Messrs. Brassey and Co. for the middle level sewer was not signed, but those gentlemen were making arrangements for the supply of materials. The northern outfall sewer is marked out and nearly fenced from end to end, and the contractor had received instructions to commence the work on Monday next. The Ranelagh storm overflow sewer across Ifyde-park progressed satisfactorily ; works to the amount of £5,850 had been completed, in addition to the completion of the underpinning of the old sewer, to the value of about £2,800. On the south side of the river the southern high level sewer is now in progress at four different places, three on the main line, and one on the Dulwich or Effra branch. On No. 1, at the Clapham-road, along Bed ford-lane, Stockwell-green, and Robert-street, to the Effra sewer, in the Brixton-road, about 6,100 feet, varying from 4ft. Gin. by 3ft. to Oft. Sin. in diameter, have been completed. On No. 2 line 3,400 feet have been completed, and on No. 3 line 5,005 feet completed. The value of the work done was about £60,000, and the total length completed 31 mikes. The southern outfall sewer works pro gressed in a satisfactory manner. The tunnel under Woolwich was about one mile in length, and varied from 45ft. to 75ft. in depth. Four shafts had been sunk, and 2,820 feet of tunnel completed, th© head ings being lighted with gas, and the miners work ing day and night. The rest of the work was, with trifling exceptions, being constructed in open cut ting, and about 6,950 feet had been completed, making 9,770 feet of tunnel and open cutting. The value of the work done was about £90,000. The works for the low level hewer, under the Sur rey Consumers' Gas Company's property, progress satisfactorily, the water having been subdued, the excavations nearly completed, and the lower por tions of the brickwork got in for nearly the entire length. The work is carried on night and day, and will probably soon be completed. The old Earl outlet, now being reconstructed, progresses slowly, owing to the work being uncovered by the tide for a short period at and near to low water, and it had also sustained serious injury from the ship Zebra, which, having fouled another vessel in the river, be came a wreck and stranded upon the work. The total value of the main drainage works now com pleted was estimated at about £340,000. The report was received, and ordered to be en tered on the minutes. After some routine business had been disposed of, the board adjourned. GRIMSTONR'S HERR TOBACCO.--THE "SMOKE CON TROVERSY" SETTLED.—Much difference of opinion exists as to whether smoking is injurious or not. Upon this point doctors have "disagreed," as they have done upon most others—but one thing is certain that smoking Grimstone's herb tobacco is beneficial rather than the contrary, and most astonishing cures of asthma, and ether pulmonary diseases have resulted from its use. To those who are troubled with phlegm in the throat on rising in the morning we recom mend a few whiffs of Grimstone's tobacco before breakfast, To those who are troubled with a hacking cough on laying down to rest, we say take a pipe of Grimstone's after supper, —and to those who require a pipe during the hours of labour or study we recommend Grunstone as possessing all the best qualities of Virginia tobacco with none of its dis advantages. The absence of the essential oils precludes the danger arising from the narcotic weed—whilst the fragrant herbs and flowers of which Grimstone's herb tobacco is coin posei render it not only a valuable medicine agent, but a universal favourite with the fair sex, who have settled the "tobacco controversy" by declaring their admiration of the fragrance of Grimstone's as being far preferable to the smell of "that horrid nasty tobacco."

The return of births and deaths and marriages registered in the divisions, counties, and districts of England, by authority of the Registrar-General, comprises the births and deaths registered by 2,197 registrars in all the districts of England during the autumn quarter that ended Dec. 31, 1860 ; and the marriages in 12,449 churches or chapels, about. 4,342 registered places of worship unconnected with the established church, and 631 superinten • tendent registrar's offices,in the quarter that ended Sept. 30, 1860. The quarterly returns are favourable, and imply that the population was not only more prosperous but healthier than usual. Births slightly decreased, but marriages became more frequent, and the mor tality fell below the average: The improvement i n health was greatest in the town districts. The accounts of births and deaths for the year 18(10 show an increase of the birth and a decrease of the death rate. 81,144 persons married in the quarter that ended on Sept. 30; and the marriage rate was 1,608, or higher than in any correspond ing quarter since 1856, but slightly below the ave rage of ten summer quarters. The increase of mar riages was most striking in London and in Lanca shire. 162,248 children were born and registered in the last quarter of the year 1860; or more by 4,286 than were registered in the last quarter of 1858, and 7,843 less than the number in the last quarter of 1859. The birth rato of the quarter was 3.203 ; the average of the quarter 3.232. 683,430 children were registered in the year 1860; and the annual birth-rate - was 3.418, making .014 Above the annual average. Taking one day with enother through the year, 1,867 children were tam The births exceeded the deaths in the ouarter by 59,691, and that was the natural increase of the population. In the year the natural increase of England and Wales was 260,930 souls-713 daily. If Scotland and Ireland increase at the same rate the natural increase of the population of the United Kingdom must have been at the rate of 1,069 daily. Emigration carried off a part of the increase. In the quarter about 7,047 English emi grants sailed from the ports at which there are Government emigration offices; nearly in equal proportions to the United States and the Australian colonies. The scarcity or the abundance of the principal articles of food is shown by their prices. Wheat was 56s 9d a quarter, or 31 per cent higher than it was in the corresponding quarter of 1859. Beef at the Leadenhall and Newgate markets was sold by the carcase at4l:l a pound, or nearly Id less. Mut ton was on an average 51d a pound, and remained the same as in the lafit months of 1859. The potato crop partially failed, and York Regents, at the waterside market, sold at 122 s 6d a ton, or at the rate of 111 b. for a penny. The price of this uni versal article of food rose progressively in the last three months of the three years 1858-59-60 from 87s 6d to 102 s 6d and 122 s 6d a ton. To supply its deficiency other antiscorbatic vegetables, fruit, or herbs are required. The meteorology of the season was peculiar. Pauperism gradually declined; and the paupers fell from 826,655 to 793,391, and 788,838 receiving relief on an average during the last quarters of the years 1858-59-60. 102,557 deaths were registered in the last quarter of the year 1860, and the annual rate of mortality during the season was 2.024. The mortality was 0.158 below the average. Upon mak ing up the account for the year the deaths are found to be 422,500; and the annual rate of morta lity 2.113, or a little more than 21 in 1,000. The average of the preceding 10 years is 22. So one life in every 1,000 living was saved. Yet the mor tality of England and Wales is still greatly in excess of the rate experienced in the least unhealthy districts. The deaths instead of 102,557 would at that rate have been 79,283 ; so during the 92 days, 23,274 persons died unnatural deaths in the least unhealthy country in Europe. Upon looking at the country generally, epidemic diphtheria still prevails in parts of the kingdom ; measles, whooping-cough, small-pox, scarlatina, fever, also so frequently mentioned in the regis trar's notes that they may be considered prevailing epidemics. It is the characteristic of these zymotie diseases that they do not depend upon general atmospheric conditions, but are often very fatal in one community, while they are entirely absent from another in the same climate. In London the mortality was below the average ; the deaths were 15,197. The severe weather occurred late in December, and its effects on the mortality will only be fully apparent in the next return. A MOTHER AND DAUGHTER RIVAL WOOERS. The tender susceptibilities of many a fair damsel residing at Risco, were lately shocked by the occur rence of a matrimonial monstrosity and atrocity that has seldom been equalled in those virtuous vales. The question has been seriously discussed in all its aspects, by not only the maidens and widows of the district, who are the parties princi pally interested, but also by the married folks, the even tenor of whose course has been disturbed by' . a gross desecration of the laws of propriety, if not of nature. Some 12 months ago a lad of the village wooed, and it was supposed won, the budding affec tions of a lass who resided with her father and mother. After the usual preliminaries of wooing and cooing had been exhausted, the young couple panted for the novelty to be found in the honeymoon. But a difficulty presented itself. The.intended bride had a little of the becoming pride of her sex, and she demurred to marry her swain until he had equipped himself with a now suit of clothes, in which to exhibit to advantage on his wedding day the well knit and muscular limbs and whipcord .sinews that would make the bride the envy of the lasses around. Joskin, not being well up in this world's wealth, was somewhat disconcerted at this condition, which it was not easy to comply with. Now it so happened that six months previously the mother of the gentle maid had become a widow, and the first bitter pang of grief having subsided, the baxom widow commenced to look out for a helpmate, and after vainly scanning the horizon in search of a mate she at length fixed her fascinating glance on no other than her daughter's betrothed, pro mising to take him with or without a suit as it best suited himself, inasmuch as she only wished to secure his person and not his clothes. This adroit proposition was, will it be believed, readily assented to, and the daughter's affections were duly transferred to the mother, to the horror of all the maids of the district., who look with dis gust upon the success of the old 'un. The happy pair were duly wed a few days ago, to the unut terable disgust of the jilted fair, who was robbed of the darling of her heart by her gentle mammy. The widows of the district feel elated at the success of the veteran of 50, who succeeded in bearing off the prize from juvenile 20, the age of the disap pointed one. The latter with some sympathising young female friends endeavoured to get up a de monstration, with tin pans and kettles, to welcome the return of the deceitful pair. The first husband of the new triumphant wife died some ten months ago in the lunatic ward of the Newport Union House.---illonniouthshire Merlin.

W. Martin, the representatives of that city in the House of Commons. The spacious room was decorated with flags, banners, and evergreens, and over the platform a tasteful device was suspended, with the motto, " The tight men in the right place." The chair was occupied by Mr. S. STEELE, who commenced the proceedings by briefly alluding to the past Services of the honour able members, and stated that the pre sent meeting had been convened at the Corn Ex. change in order to obtain a fair heari ng f or their representatives, occasionPreseTilatics' who had been gro s sly i nsu l te d on a former when they held a meeting at the Town Hall. Mr. P. W. MARTIN, who was received with cheers, observed that it would have been more plea sant for him and his colleague to have convened a meeting of the whole constituency at the Guildhall, but they were aware that a number of men., on a former occasion, created a riot, and thus upset the meeting. With reference to his parliamentary conduct, he believed that he was able to give a satisfactory account of his stewardship. He had warmly supported the commercial treaty with France, and the free trade budget of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was worthily following out the principles of that great statesman, Sir Rebert Peel. Those principles had conferred inestimable blessings upon the nation, especially when it was considered that, in consequence of the failure of the harvest last year, we were compelled to depend to a',great extent upon other countries for a supply of food. He had voted for the repeal of tho paper duty, and hoped that, notwithstanding the opposi, tion offered, that measure would yet be carried. The aggression of the House of Lords prevented the, budget from being passed in an unmutilated state, and he thought the Liberal party in the House of Commons did not manage the paper question so well as it might have been done. He was quite satisfied that the right of taxation, or remitting taxes, rested. with the House of Commons ; and should the rejee.- tion of the paper bill by the Lords ever be urged as a precedent, he should be one of the first to vindi cate the constitutional prerogative of the Commons: At every Conservative meeting it was urged that the budget 'had brought about distress amongst the paper-makers and starvation amongst the Coventry weavers. He had not sufficient evidence to believe that much distress existed amongst the papermakers, but as he resided about nine miles from Coventry he could bear tes, timony to the dire misery which had prevailed in that city. At the same time he did not believe that this poverty resulted from the budget, but it arose from a diminished demand for the staple pro duce—ribbon. He believed, with Lord Brougham, that war contained within itself every element of evil, and he should strongly oppose any interference on the part of this country with the affairs of foreign nations. It was highly important to be properly armed and prepared, and vigorous measures had been taken to procure an efficient army and nary. He trusted, however, that an attempt would now be made to retrench the expenditure of the coun try, and on carefully looking over the estimates of last year he could find many items which ought to be reduced. The Reform Bill introduced by Lord, John Russell had received his support ; but on account of the pressure of public business the bill, as they wore aware, was withdrawn. It was gene rally considered that the Reform question would not be introduced by the Government during the next session, but he should always be anxious to vote for a real measure of Reform which would enfranchise the working classes, and protect thorn exercising it. Alluding to local questions, Mr Mar tin expressed his satisfaction that Rochester had,: been admitted as one of the favoured ports for a l e. importation of French wines ; and the recent Ade r a., ralty order, combined with the Superanniiiiion Act, would confer a great boon upon the dockyard labourers,—who abounded in • that district. The Rochester Conservatives had accused himself and Sergeant Kinglake of being silent members ; but if they did not often speak in the House, they were constant in their attendance, and had not omitted to vote upon all those questions which were im portant to the country at large, and affected the interests of their constituents. Mr. Martin resumed his seat amidst repeated applause. Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE, who was well received, observed, that when returned for the city of : Rochester he determined to enter the House ( A f Commons as a free and independent member, not to obey the biddings of a faction or party, but to maintain and endeavour to extend the great bless ings of constitutional freedom. At the commence-. ment of the last session, the people looked forward in anxious anticipation that many importe.iit measures would be passed, and, above all, that the great question of parliamentary reform, which had so often been shelved, would be settled. These hopes had not been fully realised, and it was the opinion of many—and he confessed he shared in that opinion —that much valuable time was wasted. There were also many unavoidable circumstances which impeded the progress of legislation, but it was his firm opinion that the fate of the Reform Bill resulted from the apathy, and even the obstruc tion, of numerous Liberal members, some of whom sat for large constituencies, and who, in violation of their hustings' promises, did not give the veteran reformer, Lord John Russell,:that determined sup-, port which he had a right to expect from tb,e Liberal party. He was in the House of Commons when Lord John Russell introduced his bantling., and witnessed the anxious faces of numerous Liberal members, many of whom looked the picture, of melancholy. It was a fact that some Libered members who represented large boroughs, did not fancy going through the ordeal of an election too often, and when the bill was introduced they reflected—Ali, is this the last time I shall held a seat in this house. Then they looked to the other benches, and . saw the Conservative party smiling —they fraternised together, and ultimately the poor bantling reform bill was pinched and pulled about, and tossed from one to tho other, until after a few gasps and faint cries it expired, to the great joy of many of its professed supporters. Opinions were divided as to the prospect next a Reform Bill being introduced during _ the nof session. He had endeavoured to obt ain some infore mation on the subject, but at believe that the no thing which wouldpresentto he knew rod d on the subject, and he opinions were unchanged Ministry intended to leadinthu i re such a measure. Hi s knew that if the Li beral party were in earnest they could easily pass such ameasure of Reform as wou ld i nc l u d e w ithin t h e pale of the constitution all th ose w h o were now u njustly excluded. Ser ge a n t Ki ng . like t h e n referred to his votes during the p as t b CS . axon to various local matters. A e and resolution expressive of continued confidence irt a the honourable members was unanimously adopted, and after a vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting separated. IMPORTANT TO SPIRIT DRINKERS.-=Dr E. Smith, says the Medical Times and Gazette, has recently exhibited, in active operation, at the Medical Society of London and the Society of Arts, the new French test for the detection of alcohol in the breath and the perspiration. The test is prepared by dissolving 1 part of bichromate of potass in 300 parts of strong sulphuric acid, and it is applied by simply breathing or passing the vapour from the skin through a drachm of it. M. Lallemand made his experiments upon the skin of the dog; but Dr. Smith has shown that by en closing the arm of a man in a caoutchouc bag, through which a current of air is made to pass, the presence of alcohol may be detected at the end of one, two, three, and four hours after alcohol has been taken, and doubtless it might be shown for a much longer period. He finds that it is best shown in those who perspire freely. The experiments are very striking, and those upon the skin are full of interest and importance.
