This great case was resume to- day, and as early as half past 10 a few anxious persons lad assembled in the Court. The various legal gentlemen, Messrs. Brough, Williams, Kerslake, Linklater, Lawrence, Lewis, &c., appeared for their several clients. Mr. Edward Hart (Hart Enthers and Hayles) was ac countant for the creditors, Mr. Coleman for the bankrupts. When Mr. Linklater commeiced his examination of Mr. Laurence, one of the bankrupti, the Court was, compara tively speaking, empty, and tle interest appears to have died out. Mr. Linklater—Before we proceed, may I suggest to Mr. Laurence the advisibility of answering each question openly. Mr. Laurence—lt is the firs; time I have ever been a witness (but once), I will to the best of my ability answer the questions. Mr. Linklater—You will find it a good plan. It is very painful to put the same question over and over again, and it wastes a great deal of time. 6; 7 75 80 67 72 65 70 } pr The examination was then proceeded with, and WAS specially connected with the many bill transactions of the firm. There is no likelihood of the case being completed to-day. CRIMINAL COURT—(2 his Day). (Before Mr. Justice Blackburn.) ALLEGED FRAUDULENT BANIERVETCY. Lewis Robert Poole, Thomas Chapman, and Frederick Ventris were indicted for illegally conspiring to conceal a quantity of property from tae creditors of the first-named prisoner, who had been declared a bankrupt. _ . _ The facts of this case have already appeared in The S.m during the time the prisoners were under examination at the Guildhall Police Court. It will be recollected that Poole carried on the business of a wholesale boot and shoe manafaeturer at Northampton, and also in New Oxford-street, and in August last was declared a bankrupt, and the property in question which Poole was accused of concealing amounted to upwards of £1,200, The prisoner Ventris was a clerk in the firm of Messrs. Quiller and Ball, accountants, and the part it was alleged that he had taken in the transaction was the committing of perjury in his examination in the Court of Bankruptcy. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine conducted the prosecution, and the prisoners were defended by Mr. Best, of the Oxford Circuit, Mr. Metcalf, Mr. Poland, Mr. Sleigh, and Mr. 0 rrid ge. The case will occupy the whole of the day. THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) AILSON. William Edmonds was indicted for feloniously setting fire to a stack of hay, the property of Elisabeth Tibbels. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty on the ground of insanity, POLICE IN7ELLI I .'TENCE—(Thia Day). MARLI3OROUGH-STRRET. lITDE-PAIIR ROBBERIES LAST NMI - U.—Robert Haw kins, a rough-looking fellow, who gave his address in the Kingsland-road, was charged, before Mr. Beadon, with stealing a breast-pin, the value of £7, the property of a gentleman named John Caunt, residing at 36, Halfmoon street, Piccadilly. Mr. Caunt said that, between seven and eight o'clock the previous night, he was passing between the posts near the Serpentine, an immense number of persons passing at the same time, going to see the skating and torchlight pro cession on the Serpentine, and, just as he got through, he felt the baud of a person over his shoulder, and his breast pin was taken. lie immediately turned found and saw the prisoner behind him, and feeling sure he had taken the pin, he asked him for it, but he denied having it, and seeing two constables come up, he gave him in charge. Sergeant Joy, 9 C, said he know him as the companion of thieves for about 18 months, and to be a frequenter of Seven Dials and Westminster. Prisoner—Why, you've never seen me before. Iv'e been in " the meletia." Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said he believed the prisoner had been in the militia, but he was a thief notwithstanding. Prisoner—Why, you fellows will swear anything. Mr. Beadon committed the prisoner for three months. ALLEGED ROBBERY OP A LARGE QUANTITY ON WITCIIES, RINGS, &c.—John Tanner, cabinetmaker, and James Glos, a cigar maker were charged before Mr. Beadon on suspicion of being concerned, with another not in custody, in stealing, at 21, Haymarket, 12 gold Albert guards, six gold chains, 37 gold rings, two gold eye-glasses, two pair of gold spectacles, seven gold watches, 11 silver watches, &c., of the value of £2OO, the property of Mr. John Mauro, jeweller, 24, Haymarket. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough•street, ap peared for the prisoner Glos, and a solicitor's clerk for Tanner, whose real name is Soterberg. The system said to Le adopted was as follows :—A lad was sent into a shop of a jeweller to tell him to send for a timepiece, and the assistant being watched away, a dog cart was then driven up with a person in it, and the shop keeper called cut, and while his attention was occupied, the robbery was committed. After waiting some time for the case, Mr. Mesure not being in attendance, Mr. Lewis asked that the pri soners might be brought up, as he had waited some time for the case. Mr. Boadon said he could not do so, and put back the case till a late period of the day. THAMES. P.t.miti, 'eIm—DEATH BY FllB.—Mrs. Hogg, a mechanic's wife, of 2, Turner's-buildings, Penny-fields, Poplar, and Dennis Donovan, a cooper, of 4, Dolphin-lane, Poplar, appeared before Mr. Selfe, on a summons, charged with using abusive and insulting words to Daniel Donovan, and calling him a robber and a murderer. The defendant Donovan, a respectable and industrious man and his family, were great sufferers by a fire which broke out on the premises of the complainant, Daniel Donovan, a shoemaker, in Penny-fields, Poplar, on the 18th of November last. Dennis Donovan's eldest daughter perished in the flames. Another of his children was burnt, and is up to the present time in the hospital, and Dennis Donovan, whose head and arm were severely scorched, his wife and two other children, by "God's providence," to use the defendant's own words, narrowly escaped with their lives. Mrs. Hogg, her husband and daughter, who were lodgers in tho same house, also narrowly escaped with their lives, and got out at the front window. The complainant said the defendants called upon him a few days ago and demanded compensation for the loss they had sustained, andlipon his refusing to comply with their request, they abused him, and applied very bad language to him, and among other things Mrs. Hogg called him a robber and a murderer, and said he had set his house on fire. His namesake and countryman Donovan was no less turbulent, and threatened him. The defendants said the complainant had led them to expect some compensation for the serious loss they had sustained in the loss of their household furniture and effects when he obtained the insurance money from the fire office. Last week Daniel Donovan received £lOO from the fire office, and when they asked him for a little help, he said he would see them d-d first, and used other harsh expres sions. Dennis Donovan put in a written statement regarding the firo, the loss of his child, and other matters, and it con veyed some very extraordinary suggestions. Mr. Selfe examined the complainant at great length, and he said he and his children were from home on the night of the fire. His wife was also with him. They went to a raffle in Southwark. One of his children was three and a half years old, and the other two years old. It might be one o'clock in the morning when he heard of the fire. He was then about to depart for home. He did not think it strange to take such young children to a raffle and keep them out until ono o'clock in the morning. He occupied the shop, parlour, and back room upstairs. He left the gas burning when he left home, and he supposed it set fire to the house. Mr. Selfe—How could the gas set fire to the house unless the burner was improperly placed ? The complainant supposed there was an escape of gas, and in answer to other questions said he insured his goods for £l5O on the 13th Aug. last. That was the first time he insured. Mr. Selfe put some other questions to the complainant, which were not answered in the most satisfactory manner. Dennis Donevan stretched out his left arm, which was bandaged, and said this was burnt, and I have been unable to do any work since. My head was also burnt. My daugh ter was burnt alive. Tho complainant said that a subscription was opened in Poplar for the relief of the defendants. Mrs. Hogg said £27 was subscribed, of which £l2 was laid out in furniture for her fellow-lodger, Dennis Donovan, and the funeral expenses of his daughter paid. She did not press her claims on the committee, because Dennis Donovan and his family were the greatest sufferers. Mr. Selfe said the circumstances of the disastrous fire were well calculated to excite remark, if not suspicion, but the peace must be preserved, and the defendants must pro mise not to go near the complainant again. The kind hearted magistrate having exacted that promise from the defendants, ordered that Mrs. Hogg should receive £2 from the poor-box fund, and:that Dennis Donovan should receive £1 from tho some fund. He gave the larger sum to Mrs. Hogg because she had not received any portion of the subscription, and had acted generously towards her bereaved neighbour. The defendants expressed their thanks to the magistrate and left the court. The next monthly return of the Bank of France, to be published at tho end of the week, is looked for with much interest. According to some reports, which require verification, the bullion has declined from £17,300,000 to about £14,000,000. r+F~s.

Pref g 0 ealand THE RECORDER OF BULL, What has happened to our learned and eloquent Recorder ? How is it that he has commenced the Sessions business of the new year without the delivery of one of these luminous charges to the grand jury with which he delighted, instructed, and, we hope, improved many more than the throng which filled his court, on every previous occasion, since his appointment as Recorder of the borough of Kingston-upon-Hull ? It cannot be that he regards them as good seed that fell among thorns, or was scattered by the wayside, or was strewn upon a rock. We published every word of them to be read extensively in Yorkshire, and only to see them the day afterwards transferred entire into the columns of two or three of the London daily papers. Surely this is fame, and success, such as ought rather to prompt to continued labours in the same direction. One of them we know was even destined to higher celebrity. It was the one in which the Recorder dwelt upon the danger and the folly of maid-servants dress ing above their stelt;oP• Navin Teaohed the ! hands of Miss Burdett Colitis, that lady had it re printed as a tract, and circulated for the benefit young people in her neighbourhood, and in attend ance at schools in which she took an interest. Under these circumstances, we are to some extent warranted in inquiring what has induced the Recorder to leave us without a charge at the com mencement of the new year I' At all events, we are warranted in expressing a hope that he will not persist in restricting his observations to the mere business of directing attention to the state of the calendar. Why should the gifted author of a "Diary of a late Physician" not continue to do for Hull what Mr. Recorder Hill has so long and so ably done for Birmingham—make his charges a vehicle for elevating, improving, and refining the moral character of the people ! The trial of pri soners must afford an intelligent, enlightened, and vigorous-minded judge unusual opportunities of tracing the connexion between miserable dwell ings, crowded with wretched inmates, and desti tute of the means of observing the laws of common sexual decency, and that profligacy, which inevitably leads to an appearance in the felon's dock. This is a subject which requires to be dwelt upon by the judges, not once, but scores of times. At present the poor are pushed and hud dled out of sight that the eye of staid respectability may not be offended by their raga, tatters, and gene ral squalor. If they fall into arrear of rent it is competent for their landlords to sell their little furniture at a fifth of its value, and even purchase it themselves at that price, and then throw them naked and destitute upon the street without the least fear of legal consequences. Many of the poor arc too ignorant to know when they are wronged, and for those who do the law is a luxury which they have no means of purchasing. Judges might do an immense deal by calling the atten tion to the sufferings of this class, capable of being easily and socially remedied. We have often felt surprised that among our philanthropic associations, there appears to be none for protect ing the legal rights of the poor. Magistrates do their best, and in Hull we have an excellent Stipen diary Magistrate, who does all he can in the way of protecting and advising them ; but more is wanted, and especially more is desirable, in the recommend ing on high, social, sanitary, and moral grounds, a 7c-neral improvement in their dwellings. We touch upon this question to show how much there remains to do, and how unwilling we ere that our learned and eloquent Recorder should be content to sit mute in the midst of such disorder. What is it to him if we now and then seem to turn a deaf or an impatient ear as he wrings our withers too keenly His words will not be lost. So long as the Press records them, or there is a youth to listen to them, they will bear their fruit in due season. Remember the words of hope for all that speak or act well, irrespective of immediate results, "Cast thy bread upon the waters, and after many days it wilt return to thee." There is a tide whose waves lave the shores of heaven, and what we cast upon them is never lest.—llull Advertiser. AIVOTBER RAILWAY COLLI3IOA. A collision of a serious but not of a fatal charac • ter occurred at the Airfield station of the London and North Western Railway, about nine miles from Leeds, on Monday last at noon. The facts are as follows :—The Lancashire and Yorkshire mail train left Normanton at 5 minutes past 11 a.m., being due at Mirfield at 11.45. On approaching the dis tant signal on the Thornhill side of the Mirfield station, about half a mile distant, the axletreo .of the leading wheels of the guard's van, next the engine, broke, and the driver brought his train gradually to a stand, when the guard jumped out of the van for the purpose of going back to stop any approaching train. Immediately on alighting a London and North-Western train of empty carriages from Wakefield, which followed close behind, ran into the passenger train at a terrific speed. It is supposed that the driver of the London and North-Western train had not time to stop his engine, or even seriously to check the speed at which the train was proceeding. Thepassengers were thrown - violently against each other, and the guard of the London and North-Western train received a shock which rendered him insensible. About a doEen of the passengers sustained cuts and bruises about the head and face, and a gentleman, his wife, and nieee, who were passengers to Mirfield, were among the most unfortunate of the sufferers. The gentleman received a severe cut over his left eye, his wife was very badly shaken, and in addi tion had a most severe shock to the nervous system, and the young lady sustained some serious cuts and bruises over ono of her eyes and in her forehead. Mr. Wright, the station-master, paid every attention to the injured persons, and under his directions a medical man was sent for, under whose care the three sufferers were removed to the Black Bull Inn, Mirfield, where they remained up to Tuesday in a hopeful state. The rest of the passengers went forward on their journey, but many showed by their bruised faces, bescneared with blood, that they likewise had been sufferers by the accident. Elijah Dobson, the injured guard, on arriving at Hudders field, was conveyed to his lodgings, and his injuries, which consist mainly of bruises about his back'and head, were likely to prevent his leaving his bed for a few days, In addition to the injury to the passengers, five of the carriages belonging to the North-Western train were forced off the frame work, and the train was delayed for about an hour.

SENATOR SE RD'S OPINIONS. The first expression of deliberate opinion by Mr. Seward on the present crisis was made at a dinner of the New England Society, at New York, on the 23d of December. Mr. Seward said,—And now, fellow citize ns , I will speak one word concerning the anomalous con dition of our affairs, produced by this disposition of some of the American States to secede from the Union: It has taken, as it ought to have taken, the American people and the world by surprise. Why has it taken them by surprise ? Because it is unwise and unnatural. It is wise that all the Republican States of this continent should be con federated. It is unwise that any of them should attempt to separate. And yet it ought not to have taken us by surprise. Who ever could have ima gined that a machine so complicated, so vast, se new, so untried as this confederated system of Re publican States should be exempt from the common lot of States which have figured in the history of the world ? A more complex system of govern ment was never devised--never conceived of among men. low strange it is, how unreasonable it is, that we should be surprised that a pin may drop out of this machinery and that the wheel should drag, or that the gudgeon should be worn until the wheel should cease to play with regular action ! How could we expect to subsist for a period of 70 years exempt from the necessity of repairing our political system of government ? Every State in this Union is just like the Federal Union--a repub lic. It has its constitution and its regular system of action. No State is more than 70 years old, and there is not in any one State of flab?. Union a con stitution which is more than 25 years old ; and so certain has it become that no State can adopt a constitution which will last more than 25 years with out being repaired and renewed that in our State the constitution which we adopted 20 years ago con tains a provision that next year, without any appeal to the people whatever, a convention shall come together in the State of New York and make a new constitution. Is it strange, then, that this complex system of our government should be found, after a lapse of 70 years, to work a little rough, a little un equal, and that it should require that the engineer should look at the machinery to see where the gudgeon is worn out, and to see that the main wheel is kept in motion ? A child can withdraw a pin from the mightiest machine and arrest all its motion, and the engineer cannot see it when it is being done; but if the engine be rightly devised and strongly constructed, the engineer has only to see where the pin has fallen out, and replace it, and the machine will then go on stronger and more vigorous than ever. (Applause.) We are a family of 33 States and next Monday I hope we shall be a family of 34. (Cheers.) Would it not be strange, in a family of 34 members, if there should not once in the course of a few years be one or two, or three, or four, or five of the members who would get dis contented, and want to withdraw awhile and see haw much better they could manage their fortunes alone ? I think there is nothing strange in this. I only wonder that nobody has ever withdrawn before, to see how much batter the' could get along on their own hook than they could get along in this plain old-fashioned way under the direction of Uncle Sam. They say that while I was a boy Massachusetts and some of the New Angland States got the same idea of contumacy for the common parent and want of affection for the whole family, and got up a Hartford Convention. (Laughter.) I hope you do not think:this personal. (" No, no.") Somebody in Massachusetts—l do not know who --tried it. All I know about it is that for the first 20 years of my political life, although I was a De mocrat, a Jeffersonian, born and dyed in the faith of the Republican fathers, somehow or other, because I happened to become a Whig, I was held responsible for the Hartford Con vention. (Laughter.) And I have made this sin gular discovery in contrasting those times with the present, that whereas when Massachusetts, or say New England State, gets in a pet, and proposes to go out of the Union, the Democratic party all insist that it is high treason, and ought to be punished by coercion. When one of the Slave States gets into the same pet, and proposes to go out of the Union, the Democratic party think it exceedingly excuseable, and have doubts whether she ought not to be helped out of the Union, and whether we ought not to give her a good dowry besides. (Laughter.) Now, gentlemen, my belief about all this is, that whether it is Massachusetts or South Carolina, or whether it is New York or Florida, it would turn out the same way in each case. There is no such thing in the book, no such thing in reason, no such thing in philosophy, and no such thing in nature, as any State existing on the continent of North America outside of the United States of America. Ido not believe a word of it ; and I do not believe it for a good many reasons. Some I have already hinted at; and one is because I do not see any good reason given for it. The best reason I see given for it is, that the people of some of the Southern States hate us of the Free States very badly ; and they say we hate them, and that all love is lost between us. Well, I do not believe a word of that. On the other hand, Ido know, for myself and for you, that, bating some little differences of opinion about advantages, and about proscription, and about office, and about freedom, and about slavery, and all those which are family difficulties, for which we do not take any outsiders in any part of the world into our councils on either side, there is not a State on the earth, outside of the American Union, which I like half so well as I do the State of South Carolina — (cheers)—neither England, nor Ireland, nor Scot land, nor France, nor Turkey—although from Turkey they sent me Arab horses, and from South Carolina they send me nothing but curses. Still, I like South Carolina better than I like any of them ; and I have the presumption and vanity to believe that if there were nobody to overhear the State of South Carolina when she is talking she would con fess that she liked us tolerably well. lam sure that if anybody were to make a descent on New York to-morrow—whether Louis Napoleon, or the Prince of Wales, or his mother—(laughter)—or the Em peror of Russia, or the Emperor of Austria, all the hills of South Carolina would pour forth their po pulation for the rescue of New York. (Cries of " Good," and applause.) God knows how this may be; Ido not pretend to know—l only conjecture. But this I do know, that if any of those Powers were to make a descent on South Carolina, I know who would go to their rescue. (A Voice—We'd all go.) We would all go, everybody. (That's so, and great applause.) Therefore: they do not humbug me with their secession. (Laughter.) And I do not think they will humbug you ; and I do not be lieve that if they do not humbug you and me, they will much longer succeed in humbugging them selves. (Laughter.) Now, fellow-citizens, this is the ultimate result of all this business. These States are always to be together—always shall. Talk of striking down a star from that constella tion. It is a thing which cannot be done. (Applause.) I clo not see any less stars to-day than I did a week ago, and I expect to see more all the while. i (Laughter.) The question then is, what, n these times, when people are labouring under the ny v any e delu sion that they are going out o f the Union, and going to set up for themselves , r order to hold them in ? I do notough: we to do in every good father t tof a rule than the rule whi ch family observes. It i s this—!f a man wishes not t o keep his family together it is the easiest thing in the world to place them apart. He will do so at once if he only gets discontented with his son, quarrels with him, complains of him, torments him, threatens him, coerces him. This is the way to get rid of the family and to get them all out of doors. On the other hand, if you wish to keep them in, you have got only one way to do it. That is, patient, kind, paternal, forbearing, and wait until they come to reflect for themselves. The South is to us what the wife is to her husband. I do not know any man in the world who cannot get rid of his wife if he tries. I can put him in a way to do it at once. (Laughter.) H e has only got two things to do--one is to be unfaithful to her; the other is to be out of temper with her. Ido not know a man on earth who, even though his wife were as troublesome as the wife of Socrates, cannot keep his wife if he wants to do so ; all that ...—..„ he needs is to keep his own virtue and kis owa temper. (Applause.) Now, in all this business I propose that we shall keep our own virtue, whicll. in politics is loyalty, and our own temper, which in politics consists in remembering that men may differ, that brethren may differ. If we keep en tirely cool, and entirely calm, and entirely kind, a debate will ensue which will be kindly in itself ; and it will prove very soon either that we are wrong —and we shall concede to our offended brethren, or else that we are right, and they will acquiesce and come back into fraternal relations with us. I do not wish to Anticipate any question. We have a great many statesman who demand at once to know what the North propose to do, what the Government propose to do—whether we propose to eoerce our Southern brethren back into their alle giance. They ask us, as of course they may right fully ask, what will be the value of fraternity which is compelled ? (Hear, and cheers.) All I have to say on that subject is, that so long ago as the time of Sir Thomas More, he discovered, and set down the discovery in his writing, that th er e were a great many schoolmasters, and that while there were a very few who knew how to instruct children, there were a great many who knew how to whip them. I propose to have no question on that subject, but to hear complaints, to redress them if they ought to be redressed, and if we have the power to redress them, and I expect them to be withdrawn if they are unreasonable, because I know that the necessi ties which made this Union exist for these States are stronger to-day than they were when the Union was made, and that those necessities are enduring, while the passions of men are short-lived and ephemeral. I believe that secession was stronger on the night of the 6th of November last, when a President and a Vice-President who were unacceptable to the slave states were elected, than it is now. That is now some fifty days since, and I believe that every day's sun which set since that time has set on mollified passions and prejudices, and that if you will only give it time, sixty days more suns will give you a ranch brighter and more cheerful atmosphere. (Applause.) .PIZOTEsSOR RJRAD4Y'S LEC2t7RES. Yesterday afternoon Professor Faraday con cluded his short course of juvenile lectures " On. the Chemical History of a Candle." In his previ ous lectures he had explained the nature of flame, and of the productsof combustion, the propertiespf hydrogen and oxygen, the nature of the atmosphere and of carbonic acid gas, and in this concluding lecture he noticed the properties of carbon, or char coal, and the analogy of its combustion to the pro cess of respiration. Several introductory experi ments exhibited the combustion of charcoal as distinct from that of flame, each particle being separately burnt, and the burning of charcoal in oxygen gas was shown to leave no ash, as is the case with other solid combustibles, the result of the process being the solution of the carbon in the oxygen, thus producing carbonic acid gas. The opposite kind of combustion, which results in tho production of an ash or oxide by the combination of the oxygen with the combustible in a solid form, was shown by the exposure cf pure lead in powder to the air, its affinity for oxygen being so strong that the lead burns with a bright flame as soon as it comes in contact with oxygen, though the ash formed upon it prevents the further combustion. After having illustrated by a variety of experiments the combustion of carbon in different forme, and the exiinguiehine• of flame by carbonic acid gas, which is the product of such combustion, r corersior Faraday directed attention to the process of respira tion. That process, he observed, is another form of the combustion f charcoal, which is effected by the peculiar organisation of the lungs, by which the combustion of the carbon contained in the blood takes place at a low temperature. To prove that the exhaled breath contains carbonic acid, he placed a lighted taper at the bottom of an upright glass tube, which was connected with a similar tube by a horizontal branch. The taper burned brightly as it was supplied with air descending the other tube ; but wken Professor Faraday breathed gently over the opening of that tube, the exhaled breath descended and extinguished the flame. The production of carbonic acid in the lungs by respiration was illustrated by a variety of other experiments, among which was the turbidity of lime water byblowing through it. The quantity of charcoal exhaled by a single man in the form of carbonic acid gas in the course of 24 hours was stated to be seven ounces, while a mulch cow exhales as much as 70 ounces, and a horse 79 ounces in the same time. The deterioration of a quantity of air by a single respiration shows, as Professor Faraday observed, the importance of attending to ventilation, without which the same air is breathed over and over again though rendered unfit to continue the combustion of carbon in the lungs, and therefore unfit to support life. He alluded to the beautiful provision of nature by which the carbonic acid gas contained in the air is appropriated by, and forms the sustenance of, plants, the carbon that constitutes the substance of all trees being derived front the carbonic acid contained in the atmosphere, and the latter being again rendered fit for respiration by having the carbon abstracted, whilst the oxygen remains pure as before. Professor Faraday, addressing the juvenile portion of the audience, at the conclusion of his lecture, hoped that, like a taper, they, in their progress through life, would shine forth, and would throw light on their fellow men, and burn brightly and purely to the end. The lecture ended amidst loud applause, and the young people, who occupied the lower benches, rushed to the table to ask questions, and to take cave of the great philosopher. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (Front;ke Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) The weekly return of births and deaths in Lon don, issued by authority of the Registrar-General, states that the cold which has been experienced in the last three weeks, however seasonable it maybe to the young and robust, the well-fed and well clothed, is destructive to the health and life of others who are less able to resist it. In the last two weeks of 1860 the deaths in London were 1,269 and 1,407 ; in the first week of the new year they rose to 1,707. In the early part of December the mean tempera. ture of the air was 43 deg. ; in the three weeks that followed, and that ended last Saturday, it was successively 32.1 degs., 25.9 degs., and 32.4 degs. On Friday, the 4th inst., the lowest temperature was 20 . 5 dogs., and the mean 28 degs. The average number of deaths as derived from the first week in each of the 10 years 1851-60, and corrected for increase of population, is 1,388. The effect of the cold weather as yet developed in the returns is therefore measured by an excess of 319 deaths in one week above the estimated number. In the deaths caused by zymotic diseases the chief facts to be remarked are au increase in scarlatina from 45 in the previous week to 63 last week, and an increase in whooping-cough from 59 to 90. No less than 8 children died from measles in the sub-district of Kensington-town. Scarlatina was fatal in four caws in the Belgrave sub-district, in three in Plum stead. In the last two weeks the deaths by pul monary diseases, exclusive of phthisis, rose from 348 to 485. Those by bronchitis increased from 217 to 273 ; those by pneumonia from 95 to 143. Phthisis .increased from 171 to 188. Pulmonary uerso anothero ure e diseases, which, as stated above, i nc lude 485 deaths, exhibit a considerable excess onath t h e corrected aver age,' which is .318. The des nod 11wpa f rds. ns recorded at the age of 90 years a p e of 98 years ; a o f t t l h o e o s e y e o a c r c a u i r n e e c d a a p t :o h n e , ag Of the 11 aged persons only 3 were men. y t children,a died by burns, d to have been speraiindcst afil l ve are te s budN i e n n e e te e bth n y , burnt b eir clothes taking fi re. Of 15 deaths by suffo c a tion, 12 occurred to children in bed. A Dutc h pilot was choked by a piece of beef, which was afterwards found to weigh one ounce. A man and a woman were returned as having perished from cold and want ; the former, a painter, aged 80 years, on 27th December, at 4, Terrace-place, Stepney-green, and the latter, aged 70 years, found dead on Christmas -day at the door of the Marylebone Workhouse. Last week the births of 1,003 boys and 889 girls, in all 1 , 892 ciirdren, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1851-60 the average number was 1,650. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean hight of the barometer in the week was 29.714 in. The readings fell to 29 in. on Tuesday, January Ist, and rose to 30.17 iu. on Thursday the 3d. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 32.4 deg., which is 4.3 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher), The mean daily temperature was about 8 deg. below the average on the last four days. The thermometer in the shade rose to 47.3 deg. on Tuesday, and fell to 20.2 deg. on Friday, being the highest and lowest point respectively in the week. The range in the week was therefore 26 8 deg. The mean daily range was 10.8 deg. The difference between the mean dew point temperature and air temperature was 3.2 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 88, complete saturation being represented by 10 0 , which point was attained on nday and Tuesday. Tbl wind blew generally from the north-east. Rain fei to the amount of 1.07 inches, most of it on Sund ay and Tuesday. The mean temperatur e of the wa ter , of the Thames was 334 deg. I
