COURT MEN. Yeaterday a court was held for the despatch of public buainees. THE NEWLY-ELECTED 00311102 f SERGEANT. Mr. Russell Gurney, who at a recent Court of Com mon Council was unanimously elected Common Sergeant, was sworn into office. THE EXECUTION OF BOUSFIELD. ,Alderman SIDNEY said—My Lord Mayor, seeing the sheriffs present, I beg to ask them whether there is any truth in the statements that have appeared in the public journals of this morning regarding the execution of a criminal yesterday, at the Old Bailey ? It is reported that a great deal of what was there seen arose from the nervousness of the hangman, which was produced by a threatening letter which he had previously received. I think it a matter of public duty that we should inquire into the whole of the circumstances attending this exe cution, in order that we may make a report as to the blame, if any, that ought to fall upan any party con nected with it. (Hear.) I see, from several of this morning's journals, there is a great feeling in the public mind respecting it ; and certainly I have never in my life read a more horrible account than the one which.de scribes the exhibition of yesterday. (Hear, bear.) Alderman and Sheriff KENNEDY—The statement that has appeared in the public pipers is a pretty faithful and accurate account of what occurred at the execution at the Old Bailey yesterday morning. What the hon. gen tleinen has jest mentioned did occur, namely, that the executioner received a threatening letter, stating that he would be ,hot at, which certainly a'armed the man. The prisoner was in a state.of complete prostration—he was apparently incapable of any exertion whatever. He was dressed by the officers of the prison. He could not walk ; he could not stand ; he was carried to the scaffold—he was placed in a chair kir execution, and I believe it was the feeling of the executioner, as it was of every one pre sent, that he was more dead than alive, and thoroughly incapable of any exertion. With that feeling, I believe, as well as under the alarm which he suffered, the execu tioner, the moment he had drawn the bolt, absolutely ran away, and he was not to be seen—we did not know what had become of him, and we had great difficulty to gain him, and bring him back again. When the pri soner succeeded in placing convulsively his legs upon the top of the drop, they were removed first by one of the officers of the prison, It is a most lamentable oc currence ; but I do not know that any one can be to blame. Of course, the complete prostration of the pri honer did not suggest an idea that he had that physical power left that was capable of any struggle whatsoever. I believe that no one was to blame, excepting it may be said that the nervoes agitation and alarm under which the executioner acted led to the lamentable occurrence. (Hear, hear.) • Alderman SIDNEY said he thought the Court had but one duty to pursue—namely, to refer the matter to the Gaol Committee, because, if the statement of the sheriff were borne out- 7 -namely, that the executioner, in conse quence of having received a threatening letter, neglected his duty, it was very important that the Court should take cognisance of the fact. (Hear, hear.) Alderman Sidney then moved—" Tint the statement made by Alderman and Sheriff Kennedy, respecting the execu tion of Bonifield, be referred to the Gaol Committee, f thenvto inquire into thecircurastances, and to report t s this Court: Al lerman and Sheriff ROSE —My Lord Mayor, I se cond that motion, and for this reason : I should not feel itisfied to carry out, another execution with the man who officiated yesterday, if he Were unassisted, because we were quite at his mercy. We depended .entirely on him. It is not to be supposed that we could have the gallows out and all tried and arranged beforehand. (Hear, hear.) We depended entirely upon this man, and at the last moment we found that he was utterly and totally incapable of carrying out the duty that he. hal undertaken. (Hear, hear.) Whether it arose from his being frightened by this letter, or whether be de pended upon the prisoner being past all exertion, I do not know ; but I could not gat him to some forward at all. Sir P. LAURIE thanked-the sheriffs for the pruderc-?" with which they had si,tated! the case, and which he be lieved was not all exa-!gerated. Alderman KEENEDY—Thire is no doubt dr the, fact that such a letter was sent to -.tbe bangman. It way' sent to the gaol. We saw. the letter. 'Sir C. MARSHALL said that, as one of the visiting . . _ magistrates to . the City prisnnt:, it was his melancholy dtity to be present at the ganVof Newgate on , Sunday. and he could bear testim. oriy to the grktt - anxietY maoi- . fester] I,y the governor, Mr. Weatherhesd, to do every thing that lay in• his poser iri order that the wretched criminal might be supported and sustained till the hour of his execution arriyed. .4e cTII,I assure the court that not only the chap'ain and Medical - man, but also the gaol att,erriants, whose duty it was to sit un with th° oris , ,ner, had properly discharged their duty. (Hear.) The motion was carried unanimously.- ..• THE OFFICE OF CITY BROKER. _ 'Alderman SIDNEY moved, "That Mr. Solicitor do lay before 0114 court, at it.; next sitting, a - statement in wrting of the origin fon licensing brokers to act in the City of Llndon ; whether: the same is based on custo mary usage, and recognised by statu'able enactments ; and further, if this court can legally enforce payment of any arrears of rent from persons licensed to act as brokers, and has power to compel others ac.ing in a like capacity to become duly licensed ; also, to report upon the wordinif of the bond required to be entered int , . by sworn brokers ; std if it be within the province of this court to revise the same, by substituting any other form 'in lieu thereof." Sir P. LAURIE said be considered the court would Rot be acting discreetly if it desired the City Solicitor to furnish the information sought by the motion. Alderman FINNIS, in seconiing the motion ' said that a very large number of his con,tit uen t s were deeply in terested in the question, feeling thatlhey could. LO, possibly conscientiously take the oath. The motion was negatived. The Court adjourned. Sporting Intelligence. DONCASTER SPRIN t; MEETING.—TUESDAY. The Trial Stakes of 7 BOVA.

(Before Mr. Justice Wightman ) Sarah Hannibal!, aged 31, was indicted for felo tiously setting fire to the d weling-imuse of the Mayor and Corporation of Yarmouth, one Joseph Giles being in it. Mr. Evans and Mr. C:ierry were counsel for the pro secution. It appeared that on the 19th of the present marith the prisoner was an inmate of the Yarmouth gaol, and that, having fallen ill, she was taken to the infirmary, and there placed in private bedzoom. At 10 o'clock at night the matron visited her as usual, and left her going to bed without any light. In three-quarters of an hour she rang her bell violently, and when Mr. J. Giles, the gaoler, and the matron opened the door they found the Eel and florr all on fire, the room filled with dense volumes of smoke, and the prisoner standing at the door gasping for breath and attired in her nightdress, over which she had flung a blanket. Fortunately the fire was soon extinguished, and on the following day the prisoner sent a message through the chaplain to the gaolor, to whom she stated that after she had got into bed, on the night in question she lay awake, thinking how she might destroy her, till she recollected that she had got a lucifer match, _after which she got up, and, lighting the match, set fire to the bedclothes, and then got into bed, but that when she felt the flames she did not like the pain, and got up and gave the alarm by ringing the bell. The prisoner, when called on for her defence, was silent. The jury at once found her guilty, and Sentence of death was recorded. Henry Watson, aged 50, and Joseph. Neale, aged 36, were indicted for shooting at Henry Roberts, with in tent to murder him and to do bim bodily harm. Mr. Naylor and Mr. Bulwer appeared for the prose cution. Mr. Wiliam Cooper defended the prisoner. The prosecutor is the gamekeeper of Mr. Bagge, the member for West Norfolk, and was out on the night charged in the indictment, when be and another keeper heard a gun fired in a wood. On entering the wood they soon came upon thetwo prisoners, armed with guns. Watson then called to Neale to shoot, and he obeyed, the contents of his gun lodging in Roberts's elbow and arm. Upon this the keepers closed, and a fearful strug gle ensued. Roberts, though wounded, laid bold of Neale, while the other keeper seized Watson. Roberts, as might be expected, got the worst of it, but his com panion mastered Watson - , who cried for quarter, and was released." He had no sooner got on bis legs than hs seized a stick and assaulted his antagonist, who was assisting the other keeper. This treachery roused the tso keepers, and crippled though one of them was, they managed to give the poachers a dreadful beating, and then secured them and took them off captive to the station. . The jury having found both the prisoners guilty, His Lordship sentenced Watson, who was a notorious offender, to four years' penal servitude, and awarded to Neale the milder punishment of two years' itnprisonrnent. NISI PEWS COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Wightman.) SCALES V. PLUMMER AND OTHERS. • Mr. O'Malley and Mr. Palmer were counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. Worlledge and Mr. Ouch appeared for the defendants. This was an action in which the plaintiff sought to recover damages for injuries 'sustained by his vessel in consequence of the negligence of the servants of the de ! fendants while in command of the Ilighland(r; The deendants paid 25/. into court, and the question at issue between the parties was whether the plaintiff was en tit'ed to recover, from the defendants certain payment, amounting to 251. in all, male by his captain on the (vasion of the oellision. The principal payments vas 16!. 13s. ad. for boatinen employed in rescuing the wreck, the other sums being for notarial charges, agency, corn mission, postage, and telegraphic messages. On the part of the defendants, the first of these items was dip. puted on the ground that it was excessive, and that the remuneration to the boatmen, as salvors, ought to have been niade in 'accordance with the ordinary wages usually earned by such. At the.. close of the case Chief Justice Jervis said that, in his opinion, the plaintiff could not recover any portion of the disputed items, except the charge fur the boatmen, and the extent to which the • defendants were liable for that was a matter for the jury to decide. They must, however, reflect that the interests of the socit ty in' a great maritime country like England required that at alt times along its . coasts there should be a body of men of skill and daring ready on occasions of emergency to veidure their lives and property in attempts to convey a , sistance to vessels in distress, and that their remune ration should not be regulated by the apparent value of the vessel. This state of things could not be attained without awarding to salvors in the case of valuable ships such liberal salvage as would, when taken with other less valuable cases, in the whole compensate them for their general detioti to such perilous eat: rprises. By the - se means a sufficient stimulus to exertion would be kept alive. Now, the captain had actually paid the sun► now sought to be recovered.. and tie only question was whether the amount was, under all the circumstances, excessive. The jury at once returned a verdict for th 3 plaintiff for 171. 133. 6d. OXFORD CIRCUIT.— GLOCESTER, Anna 1. (Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.) Mary Anne Rosser, a respectably-dressed and rather elderly woman, was charged with bigamy, in marrying one James Underwood, her former husband being then alive. . Partridge appeared for the . piosecution ; Mr. Skinner defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner was married 24. years ado t' her first husband, by whom she had 8 children He had, however, deserted her, leaving his house in company with the servant girl, with whom it was stated • he was now living at Sydenham. He had snffere I three months' imprisonment fer his_ desertion of his wife ; and as soon as he heard of her second marriage, he wrote a letter to the prisOner, in which he claimed " hie g00d , ," adding, 'that she was "now in hi s power." Mr. Skinner haVingaddi'es'sed the jury for the prisoner, she was found guilty, but ,with a recommendation to mercy, on the ground of her husband's treatment of ,her. Mr. BarOn Bramwell, in passing sentence, said this Was a most disgraceful-case —not on the part of the eri sneer so much as on the part of the husband. His lord ship wished there was some law that. would reach him, and if he could be tarred and feathered and paraded thfough Ledbury (where the wife resided), or if his future He could be made in any way uncomfortable to him, it would Serve hini right. 'lf he had put the law in ino tioe he Would 'have to pay for, it, as the costs of the pro- secUtiou would not be aliewed. The prisoner, however, had broken the law, and must have some punishment. His lordship then sentenced her to four daye' imprison went. As the sentence dates from the first day of the assizes, the effect of the sentence was that the prisoner was at once discharged, and left the court with her second hus band:who had been in court'during the trial. Robert Thomas Palin, 22, shoemaker, was charged with hu-glarieusly breaking and entering the dwelling• houe of Jane Shepherd, and stealing therein one coat, two Wai-tcoate, and other articles,' at Thornbury, on the night of the 18th of August, 1555. . Mr. Skinner appeared for the prosecution ; the priso ner was undefended. • • It appeared that, on the day before the burglary, the prisiiner was seen by the proseentrix Thornbury: In five days after he was found at Croydon disposing of one of the waistcoats which had been stolen, and was taken into custody." The jury forind hiM It was then stated that the prisoner was a ticket-of leave man, who hail,been transported for 10 years, .but discharged for good conduct. He had recently been tried at. Maidstone for murder, hut acqntted. - •Mr Baron. Bramwell sentenced him to bre transported fur life. • POLICE INTELLIGENCE-4154Z' MANSION-HOUSE.—A gindeman who is in one of the public offices handed to the L ,rd Mayor the follow ingstateinent, the publication of which would be of ye ne service " A fraud has been extensively and successfully prac tised upon gentlemen who reside in the country, and whose avocations call them daily to London, by a well dre,ssed young fellow, about 16 years of age, with curly black hair, and about 5 ft. high. He waits upon a gen tleman at his place of business in town, and represents that ho resides in the - neighbourhood in which the gen tleman lives in the country ; states that he is the son of onB of the respectable tradesmen in that locality ; that he is in London with his mother, who left b'ome with him fur the purpose of placing an idiot sister in the Asylum at Colchester; that the expense attending the arrangements amounts to about 25/ , which . his mother has paid in London, :but that, in consequekce of other little unforseen expenses, she is waiting-at the railroad station with his idi ,t sister, without sufficient funds to get to Colchester, and that she desired him to call on Mr. (the gentleman to be duped), and ask him to oblige her with the lean of 'returning sovereign to s av e h er th e l oss of time and trouble in returning to the country to pro-. cti.• it. This swindler, who is supposed to belong to a gang, has procured for hi mse lf i nter i ogatories by an-. quairiting himself with all the peculiar circumstances of persons b and things connected with- th e neig hb ourhood in the country-from which he pretends to come." BOW-STREET.—The Rev. James Ch,arles Ward, a clergyman, who bad been brought before Mr. Henry, by warrant, on 'a previous day, charged with sending letters to the Quen, Lord Palmerston, Sir G. Grey, and other members of her Majesty's Government, attended punc tially at.l2 o'clock, the hour fixe I fur the further hear ii.g of the case ; but at that time none of the Govern ment officials bad arrived, although Dr. Wakefie'd, the medical witness required to depose as to the state of the that j ea _ tr i i value defendant's mini, and other witnesses were present. T Shortly after 12 Sergeant Hodges of the A divisior, waited anon the magistrate with a message from Mr. Gr , en ~- woou, the solicitor to the Treasury, to the effect : ; 11 0 e o t ld o attend at one o'clock. nes / s l ei *, ll ot e le oz d o in b g ser D v r e . d N t v ha a t te th fi e eld tfe w n h d o a s n e t t a i n m d e th w e a w s 1:- f hal better return to postponement of the case for an hour would be very had i‘i been in attendance some time. incor P iv o : to them, he feared.

' Mr. Henry—However, you had better return and request Mr. Greenwood to be here as speedily as po. sible. After the denartere -of -thenfficer with this message, The Rev. J. C. Ward, the defendant, entered the court, and expressed his regret and annoyance at the postpone ment of the case. In order to be punctual himself he had gone without a breakfast; and baying made an appoint ment for 2 o'clock, this delay would put him to the greatest possible inconvenience. Did his worship feel bound, under these circumstances, to oblige him to stop ? Mr. Henry equally regretted the delay which had arisen, and which was probably occasioned by Mr. Green wood having other important business to transact at the Treasury. If the defendant had not breakfasted he could take the interval before 1 o'clock for that purpose. The defendant said the case might then come on, or something might be said in hi s a b sence . Al rea d y he had been entrapped into a conversation at the Treasury, which might possibly be used to his prejudice. Mr. Henry would take care that his case did not suffer from either of these circumstances. The defendant thought he had better remain, and, hav ing requested the favour of being supplied wi.h a copy of the statute under which these proceedings were taken, the rev, gentleman sat dawn in the attorneys' box, and applied his mind to the 16th and 17th Vie., c. 97, com plaining occasionally of the irregular manner in which Government business was conducted. It is only fa;r to add that the rev. gentleman is by no means singular in his opinion respecting the conduct of public business at these courts by the Government officials in almost every , department, except the Post-office. The ordinary pro ceedings are constantly interrupted, and the prosecutors and witnesses in other cases as repeatedly inconvenienced, by the invariable unpunctuality of her Majesty's ser vants whenever they are intrusted with a prosecution. At half- past 1 o'clock Mr. Ward asked his worship to state if he did not think that the Government authori ties who were about to inquire into his (defendant's) state of mind were not abusing the license which his worship had kindly granted them. Mr. Henry said Mr. Greenwood had just arrived, and advised the defendant to go and confer with him in a private room. Eventually, at about 2 o'clock, the defendant having returned to the court, the case proceeded. Mr. Greenwood, the solicitor to the Treasury, said— With respect to this inquiry, your worship, I have al ready apologised to Mr. Ward, and I must new apolo gise to you, for the delay which has, unavoidably, just occurred ; but I have received some information to-day in reference to other matters connected with Mr. Ward than have been yet disclosed, and which it will be neces sary to bring under your notice. I have had no oppor tunity of getting the requisite proof ef- these additional matters since they have come to my knowledge, and therefore I must apply to your worship to allow the warrant.ta stand over to a future day —say, for a fort night, to admit of the production of this evidence, the defendant being permitted, as before, to be at large upon his parole. The defendant decidedly objected to this proposition on:public grounds—on grounds of right and justice. In the first place, one of the consequences of this prosecu tion had been the publication of the proceedings in the public journals. It had gone forth to the world at large that he bad been bruded as a lunatic, and be claimed the right of a reply through the same public chanliel. It would be inferred from these reports - that he bad been writing and exiling on Lord Derby, the Archbishop of Caoterbury, Lord Palmerston, and others, without anthority, whereas he had business transactions with those persons, and had repeatedly seen them. He had had frequent interviews with Lord Palmerston on mat ters wholly unconnected with this inquiry. • Mr. Henry—You need not go into that. The matters were referred to incidentally, without being relied on in suppert of the charge. Defendant—Then, these letters and interviews ought not to have been mentioned. I will now proceed to the next point... Mr. Henry—As Mr. Greenwood has deferred going into his Case for the present, yon hal much batter re f, sin from further remarks at present. • Defendant—l wish the warrant and inforMation to be brought into court. Mr. Ilenry—With what object ? They have not dis closed their .case on the other side—why should you re veal yours ? You are not prejudiced by the postpone ment of the cas% You have been, and Ain are to be, free. Defendant—l and not free, and that is one of n 4 points. Let the warrant be produced. The information and warrant were read and proved. They charged the " Rev. J. C. Ward" with wandering abroad, being in a state of lunacy. Defendant suggested that the insertion of the initials "J. C." rendered the warrant ineffe3tive—legally null and' void, Mr. Henry said this was immaterial. In a warrant of this nature it was not even necessary to give any name at all. A desCrintion of the person would be sufficient. Defendant begged his worship's pardon. The case of "Reynolds v. Henkin," 4th Barnwell and Allerson; was a casein point, showing, as it did, that aman ought not to be arrested upon his initials. Mr. Henry —That was not a warrant under the Lunacy Act. Beside, you have refused to give your name. DJ you still decline to do so ? Defendant—l do not decline. Mr. Henry—Then, what is your name ? Defendant—That's another affair. . Mr. Henry—No. You were not known at your lodg ings. Your landlady described you as " the unknown gentleman," and you still decline to state your name. • Defendant—l do not decline to state my name. Mr. Henry—Then, what is it ? lle'endant—That's another question. (A. laugh.) I must take the liberty to ask you your motive in asking for my name. Is it to amend the warrant ? Mr. Henry—The warrant shall not be altered. It is not necessary to alter it. The defendant, still refusing to state his name, then proceeded at great length to object to the whole proceed ings, as . he stated, in, and chimed the right of exarniniiii'Mr. Yardley as to the motive of the Police Commissioners uirecting his arrest. He also demanded of Mr. Yai l dley an explanation of the grounds upon which he considered him (defendant) to be a lunatic. Mr. Yardley was exposed to a long cross-examination upon thiS Point. The witness rePeated his former evi dence, and stated that the defendant had been fur some time under the observatien of the police in consequence of his apparent insanity. It had been the desire of the Pelice Commission simply to have him restored to his family, if his friends could be discovered, and their wishes with respect to him ascertained ; but he. bad el Ways dec'ined to give any satisfactory information upon tbispoint, at one time referring incoherently to a Qatien!s counsel, and at another time to the late member for Can terbury, and always speaking and acting in such a way as to satisfy him (Ar. Yardley) that he was labouring under mental delusions. After occupying more than an hour in crmis-examining Mr. Yardley, the defendant proceeded to address the Court for another hour upon the iniquity of a British sul;j-ct beiug_dragged by the police through thq public Ftreets like a common felon, within sight of the House of Comnihns and the Courts of Westminster, regretting that he could not command the graphic style of a Dickens or a Shakspeare to describe the outrage committed upon him. Mr. Henry reminbled the defendant that he had not been dragged through the public streets at ail, that he had not been arrested iu the way described, and that he had, been kept under no restraint whatever. The defendant said he was aware•of thi , , but still pro ceeded, with extraordinary garrulity, in the same strain, finally demanding, wit-h a seriousness which appeared to give the prosecution more cm &illation that was expectiql, that there should be a commission de lunatico inguirendo against Mr. Yardley forthwith, in col sequenc. of the ex traordinary delusions under which that gentleman. ap- ' paared to be labouring. He complained of illness and physical exhaustion, resulting from his having had no breal• fast, but still continued his address till past fOur o'clock, without hope or sign of abatement. Mr. Henry entreated him to consider that the only question before the Court was the time for adjourning the case. .0 The case was then adjourned. • FIRE IN FLEET STREET.—Last night, about half-pas 7 o'clock, a fire, attended with a serious loss of property broke out in the range of premises belonging to Messrs Dobb, and Co., wholesale fancy stationers and envelope manufacturers, of 234, Fleet-street. The premises in which the disaster commenced were of considerable ex tent, being bounded on one 'side by the printing-office of Messrs. Vizetelly and the extensive range of buildings belonging to Messrs. Levy and Co. ' while the printing office-of the Morning H era ld, Shoe-lane, nearly flanked them on the north-eastern- side. It appears that the police officer on duty in the street ha'l his attention di rected to the place by a strong smell of burning wood, aod, after examining for a few minutes the different c urts leading round the back of the facOry, he found that the building was on fire. With little delay the en gines of the parish, the London Brigade, and West of England office, under the c )mmand of Mr. Braid wood, Mr. Wolf, and Mr. Connorton, attended, when the hose having been stretched out and applied to the engines it was carried through the different houses, by means of which some thousand tons cif water were thrown upon the flames ; but several of the surrounding houses, great houses of business, frequently became ignited. Fortu nately, owing to the labours of the firemen, they were not damaged to any great extent ; but it was not until half-past 10 o'clock that the fire might be said to have been conquered, and not until the premises of Messrs. Dobbs were entirely destroyed, and the premises of Mr. Clark, publisher, Mr, Patie, bookseller, Mr. Clark, Oraper, Mrs. Watts, cooper, and Messrs. Hughes and liirober severely damaged by water.

(From the Report of the Registrar-General.) The total number of deaths regist,red in the week that ended on Saturday was 1 396. In the corresper d icg weeks of the 10 years 1846 55 the averag- number was 1 285, which, if raised in proportion to increase of populathio, becomes 1,413. There is a difference of only 17 between the c , ;rrected average and the number aetnally registered in the we-k. Tne increase in the deaths r(;gistered in the last week of March over those registered in the t egirmiog of the rn nth, when the nornber in a week was shout 1,100, in not caused by an inc:•eased rate of mortality, but arises from more than a due pr:portion if coroners' cases being entered in the re 0-ter-books at the end of the quarter, In the present ta‘de 5 deaths are ref rred to intemperance, 8 to poison, 27 to burns and Scalds, 6 to hanging, 10 to suffoca,.inti, 26 to drowning, 35 t' frac tures, 7 to wounds and other injury, and 40 are placed to sudden deaths. Tee deaths classed under these heads con.titute a great maj 'city of the cases on which in quest; are held. Ot 228 - deaths produced by the zymotic or epidemic class of diseases 65 were caused by typhus and common fever, which cases occiured chiefly in the eastern and souther.) divisio,,s ; 51 by hoopi , :g-c:Tugh, 28 by s‘ar latina, 23 by measles, 13 by small-pox, and only 4by diArrhce.i. P.Othisis was fatal in 141 cases ;of which 29 J.c.itirred to persons under 20 yeari of age, 61 between 20 and 40 year'', 41 ~e tween 40 and 60, and 10 to per song w h o h a d passed that period of life. Br mcbiti carried off 127 persons, reatly half of whom were men and women ~ore than 60 years old. Twelve wom n died after cl.i'dbirtb. Five persons died from inttm peranee, without including. in the ~ t ruber those Rho may have rec, ived fatal injury in a state of intoxication. A Smoker died from inixmg strain. niuin with his tobacco. There were also 5 deaths from delirium tremens A boy f 9 years died in Salter's-alley, S , . George-in-the East, from cretinism. Three persons' died on the 18th, 23d, and 28th of March respectively, from want. Last week the bit the of 994 boys and 983 girls—in all 1,977 children—were registered in London.
