SOCIETY for the RELIEF of DISTRESS.—This ki Society derives its origin from the following cause : That, notwithstanding the operation of the poor law and the numerous existing charitable associations, human beings, although within a stone's throw of the plenty, luxury, and refinement of this wealthy metropolis, the miserably of hunger and the want of the common 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 poor, by aiding and increasing the power of existing local Institutions which have this object in view. To bring to the notice of parochial authorities such cases as legitimately telon ig to them alone, co aid the police and the Mendicity Soctety, to detect imposture, and to bring to the care of hospitals, refuges, penitentiaries, and existing charitable associations those cases for which their several institutions 'were established. Special and u rgen t cases of distress indicated by the el ergY—ministers of all denominations, medical 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 otherwise at the ecntral office. The promoters of this movement now come forward, not in any spirit of opposition to existing societies, but, on the contrary, with the strong desire to co-operate with 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 furthering, by friendly intercourse, the great Christian object which all charitable associations have in view. The following noblemen and gentlemen having combined to form a Guarantee Committee, by whom the entire ex penses of management are to be defrayed, the Society now call upon the public to entrust it with the requisite funds, which shall be applied, without the smallest deduction, to the relief of genuine distress.

Kelsall, Esq., with an aggravated assault upon John Warringtaa, u boy nine years of age. The defendant was the m, aster of the school belonging to Messrs. Wilkinson, flax spinners, and the complainant was a half-g 1 ner, and worked at Messrs. Wilkinson's. The mot her had made a complaint to Mr. Chorley, surgeon, on Thursday night, and a warrant was thereupt m issued against the defendant. The boy had bee u examined by Mr. W. N. Price, surgeon, and in reply to Mr. Chorley, that gentleman, on being , sworn, stated' that he found he had been severely beaten (Aver the back and shoulders, and was covered with contused wounds. , Both on the shoulders and the back there were long weals,. but though there was considerable discoloration the .skin was not broken. The beating had been very severe and though he could not speak positively, he far ivied there had been twolve or fifteen blows struck. Mr. Chorley—Did, you notice the right thigh ? Mr. Price—Yes, g L nd I found one mark ext end ing from the buttock t A o the knee. Mr. Chorley said he thought the magistrates ought to see the boy stripped, for he had hinaself counted 12 blows on one sa.de. The boy was I;hen taken into a private room, ro2d on being stripped his body presented a most pitiable spectacle, the shoulders and back being covered with discoloured contused wounds. On returning' into court the boy was sworn, and stated that he was a hialf timer. On Thursday morning another Ny said he was talking, and the schoolmaster called him. 'up, and told him to hold out his hand. He tefutsed, and then the master flogged him. The mother said that the master was sorry;. and she hoped, therefore, that the bench would dttal leniently with him. Mr. Purchon, in reply to the charge, said th the half-timers were very saucy and difficult to dela with, and unless he got master of them it was im possible to go on. In this case he asked the bov kindly to hold out his hands, but he refused, and commenced laughing. He sat by him nearly two minutes, and then became irritated and excited by the boy's conduct. Mr. Kelsall—What did you use ? Mr. Purchon--A gutta-percha whip. Mr. Chorley—Did he make use of bad language to you ? Mr. Purcheon—No ; he only laughed. Mr. Chorley—Have you any witnesses to prove that he provoked you. Mr. Purchon—No ; I whipped him because he laughed at me and irritated me. Mr. Crofts—Then you are not fit to be a school master. Mr. Chorley said that, whatever might be th'e decision of the magistrates, in which he should take no part, he should report the case to the factory inspector. Mr. Purchon—l will be more careful in future.

In reference to the relative position of Baltimore and Boston, it may be observed that were the suburbs of both taken into account, Boston, which is surrounded by so many flourishing satellites of thin kind, would rank fourth on the list. The citizens of Cincinnati, dis contented with the results of the national census taken in the summer, which place her below St. Louis, have since ordered and taken a wunicipal c ensus, and find that in the autumn they numbered 1..71,293. Of the above-named 21 cities, 1,5 are n oo-slaveholding and six slaveholding. The slaveholding cities (including the national capit,a l ) occupy the fourth, sixth, seventh, eleventh, fifteentil, and twenty-first places en the list. The cities numbering between 25,000 and 40,000 inhabitants are numerous, and include, among others, Troy, New Haven, Richmond ; Lowen, Jersey City, Portland, Syracuse, Cambridge, Charlestown (Mas sachusetts), Roxbury, Worcester, Savannah, Mobile, Hartford, Nashville, and Columbus. The intensity of the late electoral contest for the Presidency is revealed by the aggregate of the votes cast, as compared with the number of the popula tion entitled to a vote. The total free population: of the 33 States (the Territories do not vote) was 27,112,000. To find the number of the population; qualified to vote, deduct therefrom all women and minors, all free persons of colour and unnaturalised foreigners, and others who, through recent change of residence, incarceration, or non-registry, were unqualified to vote last November. The remainder cast no less than 4,710,548 votes, and there were few or no complaints of fraudulent voting. Of this number the 18 free States cast 3,426,903, the 15 slave States 1,283,645.

On Friday morning, shortly after eight o'clock, Patrick Lunnay, who was sentenced to death at the last Glasgow Winter Circuit Court for the murder of James Cassidy, at Alexandria, Dumbartonshire, on the 11 th of November last, suffered the extreme penalty of the law in front of the County Buildings, Dumbarton. Lunnay and his victim were bedfellows—had been so for several weeks—and on the evening prior to the murder had supped together in their lodging house in Bank-street, Alexandria. In consequence of some jocular expressions made use of by Cas sidy, Lunnay became excited, and insisted that their difference should be settled by a fight. The unfor tunate Cassidy did not appear anxious to fight, and the inmates of the house having, to all appearance, pacified Lunnay, the men, after some little delay, left the apartment for the purpose, as was believed, of retiring:to bed. Lunnay, however, returned to the apartment he had shortly before left in such a condition that the inmates of the house had no doubt that he had been after mischief. This sur mise proved too true ; for it was ascertained that he had attacked his unharmed opponent with a clasp-knife, stabbed him, and left him lying on the street, with blood oozing from fourteen wounds. By six o'clock on Friday morning, a few spectators had assembled in front of the County buildings, probably to secure a good position. A posse of policemen was stationed at the gate, and some time afterwards the whole police force was mustered, and formed a semicircle round the scaffolding, leav ing an open space in front. The crowd gradually increased; but there was little excitement in the town, and the number of spectators at the time of the execution may be estimated at 2,500. The pri soner retired to rest about ten o'clock on Thursday evening, and, after lying in bed for about an hour, he rose and resumed the devotions in which he had been previously engaged. Shortly after midnight he went to bed again, and slept soundly till he was awakened at five o'clock by the Rev. Mr. M'Donald, Roman Catholic clergyman, who remained with him. Bishop Murdoch, who came from Glasgow on Thursday night, arrived at the prison at seven o'clock, and in company with Mr. M'Donald continued with the prisoner till the execution. Shortly before eight o'clock, after the governor of the prison had handed the prisoner over to the charge of the provost and magistrates of the burgh, Calcraft pinioned him in the vestibule of the jail, in presenee of Bishop Mur doch and Rev. Mr.M'Donald. The murderer evinced no emotion while being pinioned. He did not utter a single word, but appeared firm, and exhibited as much as possible the same callous indifference, as, indeed, he had done from the moment the murder was discovered. His appearance was nevertheless haggard, and his face very pale. The precession was then formed, headed by two oonstables with drawn swords. The prisoner, behind whom was Calcraft, attended by the Roman Catholic bishop and priest. There were also present the Rev. Mr. Gray, the chaplain of the prison, and Sheriff Steele. At the prison gate they were received by Mr. Macintosh, provost of the burgh, and the magi strates. On the scaffold the bishop offered up prayers, the unfortunate man repeating the words distinctly after him, but with some degree of tremor in his voice. The white cap was drawn over his face, prayers still being repeated, and he still uan swering. On a signal from the bishop to the ledce tioner, the spring was touched, and, with n a the air. jerk, the unfortunate man was suspende d He struggled slightly for a minute and as aihaltafter taken down whioh he ceased to at ten minutes past l nine o'clock ive. The body d w interred within the precincts of the prison. and conv . ict . repeat edly assumed a cheerful deportment his but it was always evidently much forced, and for the purpose of" make believe." On Wednesday— although he had slept badly the previous night, and rested worse that evening—he whistled some I r i s h jigs ; and subsequently asked th e w arder, in rather a facetious style, whether the locks of the cells were on Chubb's patent, and whether they could be picked inside. Lunnay made no public ac knowledgment of his guilt, and indeed, in the latest letters he despatched to his friends, he con tinued to affirm himself innocent of the crime for which lie has suffered. He was recommended to mercy by the jury, but the recommendation was not noticed, and an attempt to get up a petition in Dumbarton in his favour completely failed. Lunnay was born in Tarravally, county Fermanagh, Ire land, and was 28 or 29 years of age. He was a strong-looking, middle-sized man; was bred to the THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 21, 1861.

I trust that, for the public good, and for the be nefit of all heirs at law, and of the suitors whose domestic troubles drive them to the newly•estab lished court, that not only in the Shedden case, but in every other which may rest chiefly upon facts, the technicalities of law will be avoided, and the right to obtain the honest and impartial verdict of a jury deciding upon truth and justice, will hence forward never be withheld. It is among the singular features of this cele brated case that, besides occasioning the suicide of two persons implicated in the frauds alleged, it was made by our great novelist the groundwork of one of his most stirring tales. In the novel of " Guy IVlannering," the characters of Hatterick, Glossin, Vanbeest, Brown, and others, no less than the cir cumstances of the story, and even. the localities pointed out, have the directest possible reference to the progress of and the actors in this exciting and real drama of private life.

A professional prejudice, which happily is now fast disap pearing, though it still lingers with no little obstinacy in some of the more antiquated medical schools, for a long time almost ignored the morbid affections comprised under the general designation "Nervous and Physical Debility," though these affections are probably more destructive and widely pre valent than any others. The consequence of so important a department of pathology . being neglected is, that sufferers from the infirmities in question, virtually repelled from consultation with prac titioners of standing and character, are thus liable to fall into the hands of unqualified Empirics, sometimes assuming titles of Physicians and Surgeons, whose names are not to be found in the Medical Register (whereby they incur serious legal penalties), whose ignorant meddling with the treatment of these eases render these disorders a standing reproach to the medical profession. Those who may have a suspicion that any of the observations here made have peculiar applica tion to themselves, may consider that cases are indeed rare in which practised science cannot fully realise long-deferred hopes, remove all causes of mutual reproach, and replace chronic embitterment by permanent content.

The following letter on this extraordinary case appears in the Atlas of Saturday last : The remarkable and interesting legal case of " Shedden v. Patrick" has been so much of late be fore the public, that Ido not doubt the greater number of your readers are acquainted with the features which distinguish it, and with the circum stances, speaking generally, with which it is con nected I shall not therefore enter on the details of the story; but as I have been much struck with one or two essential points relating to it, I desire to call the attention of the public to what appears to me to be the exceeding hardship of the case. I have particularly noted, on looking through the most material papers, that, with the sole exception of the Supreme Court of New York State, which came to a decision in the plaintiff's favour on the testi _ _ moray of 15 witnesses whose testimony was read to a jury in open court, all the other legal bodies be fore whom the case was brought appear to have decided it on issues quite irrelevant and unsound. There seems to me to have been much cunning management—much pernicious legal acumen at work against the plaintiff and his claim, so much so as to give rise to strong suspicion of colluson. I state my own impressions - , as derived from a careful study of the intrinsic features of the case, as well as from the public reports of the matter at issue ; but it would appear, from all that has transpired, that in point of fact the Sheddens do really rest, and have rested all along, the equity and justice of their case upon the allegations they have made of clear and undoubted fraud, founded upon bona fide evidence, which has recently come to light. Indeed, these allegations would appear to have made a strong impression upon some our leading men; for not only was Lord Harrowby so impressed, and also the Earl Grey, who brought the case be fore the House of Lords four years ago, but the venerable Lord Lyndhurst and the acute and learned Brougham apparently adopted them, as justified by the circumstances of the cas_3. However, it is the merits alliis inter t estinfaiiis l iTeletiel tut it is indispensable to call attention to one flagrant instance of injustice, of which, so far, the plaintiff has been the victim. It is known to all the world that we English pride ourselves, and justly pride ourselves, upon our trial by jury. We consider it the great palla dium of our liberties, and the true conservator of each and every individual right that we possess. It is chiefly in this respect that our jurisprudence is considered so much superior to that of other nations and the knowledge that the main facts of a case will be decided by the dicta of 12 honest and im partial men, and not permitted to be tampered with and garbled by the turns and twistings of the law, confers a trust and confidence on the decisions of our courts, which are not enjoyed in like degree by any tribunals in the world. Your readers are aware however, that there have long been courts in Eng land to whom juries were unknown, and who rest ing on the principles of the Roman civil law decided by written evidence, and dispensed entirely with that wholesome public test to which the evidence of oral witnesses is subject, to the manifest disadvan tage of the justice of the case. The Court of Chan cery, however, has long abandoned the pernicious system of the civil law, and in our day will always look to juries to enlighten it when the facts before it are obscure. The very serious disrepute into which our civil courts have fallen was the occasion of thesomewhat recent, though long-looked for establishment of the present Court of Probate and Divorce; a court which, being charged with judging causes of the deepest import to our feelings and our happiness, to our social order and our moral state, is more especially bound than any other to be most scru pulous in its dealings with the suitors who appear before it. Now this court has special power, con- ferred by a recent Act of Parliament, to summon juries in all cases where the merits rest on facts, and it does appear to me a manifest injustice that this proceeding was not resorted to in the cause which is now before us. The presiding judge, in fact, to the great surprise of the by standers, went the length of saying that he and the other judges were the jury, and were competent to decide as to the facts, no less than upon the law. But this is quite unconstitutional. It is the undoubted privilege of Englishmen to have the benefit of an impartial jury, and this great safeguard of our rights should never be withheld when required by the• suitor to be used, or even when the facts are of sufficient complication to render a very strict investigation needful. That the absence of a jury in the Shedden casewas most injurious to the plaintiff's cause, is manifest from the fact that there resulted from it a very great suppressio yeti, for a mass of evidence of grea importance to the plaintiff was rejected and ex cluded by the judge upon his own responsibility, which a jury would most certainly have sifted to the bottom when made aware of its existence by the counsel, and would not by any means have suf fered it to be refused ; while, upon the other hand, the only evidence adduced by the other side came from the accomplices in the frauds alleged, but yet was wholly and entirely permitted and received. As respects the present case, however, it would seem that further proceedings will be taken, so that probably this injustice will be rescinded, and set aside, and sure I am that till that is done no deci sion on the case will be accepted by the public as resting upon a just and impartial basis. Moreover, it is a well-known maxim of the English common law that the heir at law to an estate cannot be pre vented from resorting to a Jury to settle the right and title he may be able to put forth to it. And it is equally well known that questions of descent are questions of fact, involving the most sacred inte rests of society, and affecting from generation to generation the succession of British subjects to every species of right known to our jurisprudence. But there is something more. I will not undertake to say how far the absence of a jury in the Shedden case may be attributed to a traditionary feeling which the Court of Probate may have imbibed from the obnoxious predecessors it was established to replace, but I cannot help reminding your read ers and the public that the learned and illustrious Judge Blackstone, in his most able " Commentaries on the Laws of England," lays a very peculiar and emphatic stress upon the fact that, when, upon the discovery of the Pandects of Justinian, and their adoption in the European courts of justice gene rally, those of England took them also as their guide in much of their jurisprudence, the students of the Inns of Court of Common Law adhered with resolution to that famous Lex non scripta, which for so many hundred years had been the safeguard of the liberties and rights of the English people ; THE FORTIFICATIONS OF PORTSJIOUTIL Great damage was occasioned to the outer line of earth-works now in course of construction along the shores of Stokes-bay, near Portsmouth, by the ex cessively heavy rain-fall which preceded the setting in of the frosty weather, and which damage it is feared will be developed to a still greater extent on a complete thaw taking possession of the ground. The nature of the soil and its uncoalesced state naturally allowed the ,water to penetrate into its very base until it became in many places little better than mounds of liquid mud, placed to drain and dry. Much of this was washed out of all form or shape, but the damage did not end there; the' more advanced portions of the works have received the greater injury, and more particularly the square casemated work in front of Fort Gomer. The con crete revetments of this battery, with its berm and parapet, have slipped out of position in largo masses on the front face, and are evidently only prevented from falling bodily into the ditch by their present frozen state. It must prove a serious loss to the con tractor. A good number of men are now employed upon this line, which extends from Fort Monckton to the swamp in rear of the Brown down auxi liary batteries and in front of Fort Gomer. Pile driving is being carried on with great vigour in front of Alverbank, where the principal entrance to the works will be from the front, and where the culvert will enter to supply the ditch with water when needed, or if the construction of the ditch will bear it. The railway works at the redan in front of Anglesea are also now being pushed forward. From the east end of this redan rises a semicircular plateau in advance of the main plateau, which ex tends the whole length of the line of defence on this face, and on this the formation of the planking batteries in rear of the line of ditch and parapet are being commenced. In the centre of this plateau is about to be commenced one of the strong posi tions which will be the real defence of the whole of the line. The six-gun battery in the gorge of the redan, for sweeping its ditch and interior, is completed. The railroad will be effectually com manded by the flanking battery at the western end of the semicircular plateau already referred to, and the eastern end of which rests on the inland swamp and ditch in the rear of Fort 31[onckton. The iron girders have all been fixed to the room ceilings of the quarters in Fort Elson, aru it is expected they will in a short time be pronounced fit for re-occupa tion. The melting of the snow has disclosed fur ther defects in this fort, not ithe least of which is the evident bulging outwards •of its revetments. MR. WOODIN S NEW' ENTERTAIN- M.ENT. We remember the time—an d though the period dates some years back, it seems: but as yesterday— when Mr. Woodin astonished; the town by the announcement of his Carpet Bag, from the mysteri ous recesses of which he was to draw forth a variety of characters and incidents ; types of familiar things in ordinary life, for the amuse P ', , hi„i ' could mean —what sort of a carpet bag it could be to accom plish results never before assoc 6ated with the idea of a carpet bag; and no doubt; many strange and imaginery notions were form (!d of the peculiar nature, form, and contents of I Cr. Woodin's Carpet Bag. It was, to be sure, a v.a ry peculiar carpet bag, for it was the only one of its kind. Mr. Woodin himself was the maker and contriver of it, and he did not take the precauf tion of obtaining a patent to guard his invention. From his brain he brought forth the design, and it was his creative fancy that supplied the mu 3 tifarious contents. When the bag was unlocked, a and its secrets were unfolded to the public, the fa) sae of it became so great that the whole town floc Iced to see it, and in time the desire of other towns 20 see the wonderful Carpet Bag grew so strong tb .al Mr. Woodin took it on a provincial tour. The Carpet Bag having estab l ished the reputation of Mr. Woodin as one of the greatest humorists and most accomplished monologists of the day, it was laid aside. This was done not, because it had lost its hold on the public, or was " used up," but be cause Mr. Woodin, feeling the impulse to achieve something still greater, thouglid , the time had come for a development of his Carpet. Bag entertainment, and this development he called the ." Olio of Od dities." The fame of this is li:i sown to everybody in town and country, and, wi . ...th the exception of Mr. Albert Smith's Mont Blanc , no monologue en tertainment ever achieved so g-r 'eat a success. This Olio of Oddities, like its prod ecessor the Carpet Bag, had lost none of its orii ;inal freshness. It would live and flourish for yea cs to come, but Mr. Woodin, who ever rejoices in. new creations, be thought of producing a further development ; and this we have under the very al ?propriate title, the "Cabinet of Curiosities," whirl i forms the subject of the present notice. In our appreciation the ne 1 v entertainment as far surpasses the Olio of OM ities as that did the Carpet Bag. The Cabinet of Curiosities is drawn after a higher dramatic stan d lard, there is a better grouping of characters and in ll 3idents, and the cha racters are more strongly mar ked ; there is a deeper insight into human nature, a keener perception of the ludicrous, a finer colon ring, and a more har monious blending of details. It is a decided success, and the critics seem to speal c but one voice in pro claiming it to be such. Mr. iNeodin's cabinet does indeed contain many great curiosities, but the geatest curiosity connected NI r ith it is how, single handed and alone, and with c tut any stage contri vances beyond the necessary changes of costume, he can transform himself al: n lost instantaneously into so many opposite chars ,c ,ters, giving to each the distinctive voice, manse. r , habit, and natural lineaments that distinguish e d the originals in real life. He stands befol ri 3 the audience one moment representing Mr. Ca i ddles, an individual who sees nothing new nude! the sun ; he then stoops, and in an instant reappears as Mr. Tom Galloper, the very antitli esis of Griddles, who thinks everything new. But the next transforma tion is a still greater curiosity, for he no sooner stoops as Tom Galloper, than he rises again in the person of Mrs. Poppies, the p e w opener, and repre sents the character in a mangy a er so true to nature that it requires some effort to 'persuade oneself that a real specimen of the class 1., s not present instead of Mr. Woodin. The Cabinet of Curiosities i 3omprises characters I so numerous and diverse that it would be impossible in a notice of this kind to describe them in detail. We shall therefore merely call, attention to a few of those which appear to us to bi the most finished portraits in Mr. Woodin's Ca: binet. The first of these is Mr. Halcyon Higgins, one who likes no " bother" about anything, and • who rejoices in the pleasures of a yacht for this eery reason. It is hardly possible to conceive a m ore complete trans formation than is effected by 3,1 r. Woodin in this character. His identity is no longer discernible. There is nothing in the appeariii ice, manner, voice, or gesture of Mr. Woodin. He stands before the audience as unlike himself as ± f the ideal of Mr. Higgins were to appear before them in the flesh, and after his own natural fashia m relate the par ticular bent of his inclinations ea id his aversion to bother. This is,one of the gems ,a f the Cabinet. It is so perfect in its way that any all eration would mar the effect of it. Another portrt Lit drawn to the life is that of Thomas Gubbins, te ostler; and the Widow Whimperley, as the tyl ill of a class, is con ceived in the happiest vein. IChere are scores of others in Mr.Woodin'sCabinet,c olc h and a ll display ing his amazing versatility, his e ctraordinary power of transformation, and unriN t ailed command of voice.
