The jury, a fter a long delibera tion, returned the following open verdict :—" That th e deceased, Thomas Husband, wa s found dead, but ther e is not sufficient evidence to sh ow how he came by his death." A FACT FOR THE CZAR.—The Emperor of the French some time back gave directions to the Minister of War to prepare a report for him, giving an exact detail of the present situation of the French army, to be accom panied with a statement of the number of men that France could, if n ecessary, place on a war footing. This paper, it is said, has been lat el y s ent in, and the num ber of men which could be employed as just stated, is set down in it at 1,250,000.

A conflagration broke out on Tuesday morning in the woollen mill of Messrs. B. Kelsall and Brother, at Roch dale, flannel manufacturers, by which two of the work people in the mill lost their lives, and not fewer than twelve others were more or less injured. Messrs. Kel- sail's mill was a brick building, erected about 11 years ago, and situate in Smith-street, near to the river Roach (from which the town takes its name). It was ten win dows, or about thirty yards, long, and eight windows, or thirty yards, wide, four stories high, with an attic. The two lower stories, a portion of the third, the fourth, and the attic were occupied by Messrs. Kelsall in the preparation for weaving, of flannel ; that portion of the third story which they did not use was ltt off to Mr. Thomas Scott, a carder of wool, who appears to have risen from the position of a working man, and in his old ago wa3 acquiring the means of living in competence. One of the processes for which his machinery was adapted, was that of " deviling," or separating the fibre in the fleece, besides cleaning if, answering to " willowing" in a cotton factory ; and this was performed in a portion of the third room, adjacent to the staircase leading to all the upper rooms, and over the engine -house. The mill started at six o'clock on Tues day morning, and there would be at that time probably 150 hands in the various rooms of the building, Mr. Stott employing 24. Of the whole, by far the larger proportion, most probably four-fifths, would be females and children, mb;ny of the latter "short timers." At seven o'clock Mr. Stott's son, Samuel, a young man aged 23, was in the " Devil hole," which was separated from the rest of the room by a thin boarding of wood, when sud denly he saw a flame playing over his head about the burner of the gas, and calling to a carter who was assist ing him, they strove to extinguish the flames by putting on sacks. It is usual to have water in buckets in the " Devil-hole," because of the danger of fire arising from the rapid evolutions of the beater, and the consequent chance of the elimination of sparks from contact with some gritty substance in the wool ; but they had been removed the day before, while the workpeople were cleaning the place out, and, consequently, were not at hand. The flames spread so rapidly that the two men were quite powerless, and an alarm was given to the hands in the mill, and also to the fire-brigade, whose en gine house and three engines are on the rooms of the town commissioners, exactly opposite the burning build- ing. The hands in the room No. 3, both those employed by Mr. Stott and by the Messrs. Kelsall, escaped, so far as we heard, unhurt, though they had to pass the "Devil-hole" to do so, and to rush through smoke and fire. Not so the unfortunates in the rooms above. They heard the alarm east, and not until the fire had attained some head, and on going to the usual means of exit, the staircase, they found it filled with smoke and fire, which were warping themselves up from the room below. To attempt to descend was certain death—to remain was equally eer tain destruction. In these frightful circumstances they were seen by the firemen when they turned out with their engines. Fire was pouring out from four windows at the end of the room farthest from the advancing fire, which were described as being blocked up with heads and faces, in which the utmost agony and desperation were depicted, and cries for help rose above every other sound. Upon the roof, at the lowest point of the dizzy height to whioh the exterior walls towered, probably 50 feet, there were several calling out for the same assistance ; and as if in mockery of them, when the firemen obtained two ladders, and placed them beside the wall, they were found to be so short as to be of no avail. At last, however, the presence of mind of some of the men gave them the means of escaping. One man, named Rd. Duck worth, unwrapped a partly woven piece of flannel from a loom, fastened one end to one of the posts of the loom, and pushed the other through the window, allowing some dozen or fourteen children and women to 'slide down it from the fourth story. Henry Ratcliffe also assisted in the same way, and another man, named Taylor, got a piece of cotton rope, and, ascending to the roof, he let down no fewer than 14 persons, who all descended safely, with one unfortunate exception, Margaret Scott, a wo man who seems to have let go her hold when she was a considerable distance from the ground, and received such injuries by her fall that she died subsequently. When he had let all down, the noble fellow descended himself, and was comparatively uninjured. Another fatality occurred in the same way among those who had hold of the piece of flannel. A woman, named Ambler, had not sufficient power to hold it when she got out of the window, and in falling she dislocated her back, and died soon after. From the fourth story at the back of the mill, the hands jumped out of the windows into a pit of slaked lime which was there, and one if not more is so seriously injured as to lead to fears of fatal consequences. One, it is believed, will lose her eye-sight through the lime getting into them. It is feared that all have not escaped, and one Irish lad is supposed to be lost in the fire ; he has not been heard of since. A number of persons were let down by the rope of the triangle which is at the end of the building where the fire originated, but some little distances front where it was raging. The casualties, so far as we have been able t•e ascertain them, are as follows : DlED.—Hannah Ambler, Amen-corner ; Margaret Scott, Clarke's-place. INJURED.---James Kershaw, 1, Holroyd-street, Vi car's-moss ; Jane Standrig, 2, Livsey-street ; Jane Taylor, Henry-street, Guide-post, daughter of R. Inglis ; William Buttes-worth, top of Milk-stone ; Betty Chadwick, daughter of John Chadwick ; Alice Shore, daughter of James Shore, 12, Molesworth-street, Vicar's-moss ; Mary Wolfenden, Back Drake-street ; Elizabeth Armitage, Portland-street ; Mary Hardman, Church-lane ; Reuben Sutcliffe, Bailey-street ; Martha Heywood, Cleveland-square ; Emma Slott, Hanging Bottom. Most of these were injured in the arms and legs, and they were removed to their own homes as soon as they were got away. Most of the injuries were caused by the reckless jumping of the people through fright, for beds were procured upon which they might have fallen had the circumstances of the case rendered more care pos sible. 4P One girl jumped from the fourth story into the arms of Mr. Eccles, the superintendent of the fire brigade, and was saved uninjured. That would be, at least, a fall of 40 feet. Of course the three engines be longing to the town were got to work, but it was found impossible to save any portion of the burning building, from which flame was poured forth with such fierceness as to set fire to several other buildings adjacent. Sparks and pieces of burning materials fell thick as hail, and at a distance of fifty yards the clothing of one of the firemen was set on fire, and scorched him. They worked away, however, by means of engines, high-pressure plugs, and hydrogents supplying the engines from the river Roach, and by ten o'clock the fire had burnt itself out. The damage it is estimated will not be less than 10,0001. The poor man Stott, in whose room the fire originated, has lost his all, about 1001. as he was not insured. The loss of Messrs. Kelsall is not yet ascer tained, but they are insured—in the Leeds and York shire, it is said, for 4,4001., and in other offices. The townspeople hastened to the spot as soon as the fire-bell was rung, and they worked to put out the fire with the most praiseworthy diligence. METROPOLITAN COMMISSION ,OF SEWERS. A special court of sewers was held at the Greek-street office ; present, Mr. R. Jebb (chairman), Sir C. Fel lowes, Mr. Thomas Hawes, Mr. Baker, Mr. T. F. Field and Mr. Smith. The SECRETARY (Mr. Woolrych) read the usual state ment of accounts, which showed the present available balance to amount to 48,6001.

In consequence of the recent decision of the commis sioners exempting t i the-rent charge in the hands of clergymen from assessment to sewers -rate, the Court next ordered that the sum of 171. 11s., which had been paid by the Rev. R. Dalton, rector of Lambeth, to be refunded to that gentleman, th e co ll ec ti on o f t h e ra t e i n question not being yet cloned.

ROYAL DANISH RAILWAY.—A. report on the present position of this railway has just been issued by the chairman, Mr. G. G. Glyn. The line of 44 miles be tween Tonning and Flensburg, connecting the North Sea and the Baltic, is expected to be opened in the summer, the permanent way being already laid throughout half its length, while the earthwork for the remainder also is nearly finished. The works on the short section forming the junction with the Kiel and Altona line are to be vigorously prosecuted in the spring, and arrangements are in progress for a beneficial interchange of traffic with neighbouring companies. The amount expended thus far has been 955,0001., and the stipulated propor tion of the 100,0001. which is to constitute a security for the minimum dividend of 6 per cent., guaranteed by 1 Messrs. Peto, Betts, and Brassey, has been duly depo sited. ALLIANCE BETWEENESWEDEN AND DENMARK.—The Gazette de Cologne asserts that the two Cabinets are about concluding a treaty offensive and defensive, and the immediate result will be the fortification of the Danish coast, and more especially of the Danish capital. AN IRREPARABLE Loss.--Lost somewhere between sunrise and sunset two golden hours, each set with sixty golden minutes. No reward is ofered, as they are lost for over.—Old Countryman. 4141 NDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The deaths in London registered in the week that ended last Saturday, amounted to 1,656. Coroners' cases, that have been accumulating for some time, and are now registered at the end of the quarter in unusual number, h ave par tl y contr ib ute d to pro d uce the excess. The mortality has been raised principally by the severity of the weather. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1843-52, the average number of deaths was 1,160, which, if raised in proportion to increase of population, becomes 1,276.. There is an excess in the number actually returned above the calculated amount of 380.

She died at nine p.m. in spite of vigorous stimulating and counter-irritant treatment. The house in which she has lived for a year is large, airy, well-drained, and stands on high ground. Her spirits were depressed from altered circumstances, and she took but little animal food."

Two centenarians paid the debt of nature, and were registered in the week :—On the 28th December, at 17, Sherborne-street, Blandford-square, the widow of a ser vant, died at the age (as stated) of 100 years • and on 23d. December, at 45, London - street , Ratcliffe , the widow of a mariner died, reported to have arrived at the extreme age of 106. Mr. Wells, the registrar, writes as follows : "This person, although at so great an age, was able to walk abOut, and come down stairs alone until two days before her death ; she had never suffered from any disease, and. never had any medical attendant or taken any medicine, and retained all her faculties to the last with the exception of her sight. She was a native of Scotland, but had lived in London-street for the last seven years. Her youngest child now alive is 72, and has children who have also families."

At 2, Margaret-street, Stamford-hill, on 23d December, the wife of a baker, aged 21 years, died of " childbirth (20 days), peritonitis (8 days), diarrhoea (12 days). The medical attendant, Mr. Kenny, states that " this woman's death was caused more by the stench of the house where she was confined (Abney-gardens, West Hackney), than by the peritonitis resulting from her confinement. A most intolerable stench rises from a drain or cesspool under the floor, into which run the sweepings of a butcher's slaughter-house. The house is unfit for human habitation. The deceased was only removed a few minutes to Stamford-hill, when she expired." Last week the births of 791 boys and 775 girls, in all 1,566 children, were registered in London. In the eight corresponding weeks of the years 1845-52 the ave.. rage Lumber was 1,299. ROYAL VISIT TO THE PHOTOGRAPHIC EXHIBITION. —Yesterday morning her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert paid a visit to the exhibition of photographic pictures at the gallery of the Society of British Artists, in Suffolk-street, Pall-mall. At the ap. pointed hour (eleven o'clock) the committee of the Pho. tographic Society were in readiness to receive the royal visitors, and within a few minutes of the time her Ma. jesty and the Prince arrived. The exhibition, which ie a very extensive one, was minutely examined by her Majesty, who appeared extremely gratified, as well as surprised, at the perfection to which the professors of photography have brought their interesting art. Among the collection are pictures from all parts of the world mostly exhibiting peculiar excellence either as re• gards, size, execution, or design. Some very fine sped.. mens of daguerreotypes, both portraits and views (such. as the late Great Exhibition, &c.), also attracted the interest and approval of her Majesty. The daguerreo• types exhibited are by Mr. Mayall, of Argyll-place, Re. gent-street, Mr. Claudet, Mr. Beard, and other welld known artists. DEATH OF MR. G. P. HARDING, THR ARTIST.—WO have to announce the death of this well-known artist, which happened on the 23d ultimo. He was pre. eminent in the copying of ancient and historical pic• tures with great accuracy, also in miniatures after Isaac Oliver, Holbein, &c. Amongst the most ela. borate of his works is the family picture of Georges Clifford, Duke of Cumberland, and Margaret Russell, his Countess, and the Book of the Prince of Wales, in the old missal style, from Edward of Caernarvon to hie Royal Highness Albert Prince of Wales. He was up. wards of nine years in the completion of this elaborate work of art, which is now in the possession of her Majesty. WRECK OF THE REINDEER.—On Saturday intelligence was received of the fatal loss of the brigantine Reindeer, of Great Yarmouth, off Guernsey. In making up Chan nel she encountered strong N.E. winds, and, with a view of obtaining shelter, Capt. Jones determined upon running into Guernsey. The brigantine continued beat ing about, when she struck on a sunken rock, called the Sambule, about a mile and a half northward of Lillian, and went down in deep water ; Captain Jones and his two mates, Richard Bowden, of London, and John. Plockett, of Bideford, perishing with her. THE INCOME AND EXPENDITURE OF MUNICIPAL 80.. ROUGHS.—On Saturday were issued a Parliamentary' paper, containing a return of the accounts of boroughs( in England and Wales for the week ended the 31st August, 1852.

The expenditure was 1,305,511/. 9s. 6 d. ; of which. 30,579/. 10s. bid. was balance due to the treasurers, and 1,274,931 1 . 19s. 04d. was the expenditure. CONSCIENCE MONEY.—The following is the account of the advertised amount, during each month of the of last Exchequer year, o f from the s a u n m o n s y r m e c o ed u i v s e correspondents, by the for unpaid the taxes :—J anuary, a ;April, 6 nuary,l,329. 17s. 6d. . 3 1 1.25.2 d. ; February, 1 151 . ; ch 601.

SOIITH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—Mr. Currie, and the friends of the late directors, whether from want of sup• port, or honest scruples of eonscience, we know not, have thought prudent to accept, in a modified form, the proposal of Mr. Mortimer, conveyed to them through the agency of Sir William Heathcote. The modification suggestedis to the effect, not that three candidates should be taken from each list, but that Sir William should select six (the chair being given up to the hon. bart.iliiimi self) from whichever party he pleased. The original shareholders' committee, to preserve their property as much as possible, have acceded to this proposition, in• serting, however, two provisos of their own, to which wis should imagine the party favourable to extensions in general can scarcely object. The first is; that the two retiring directors (Mr. Mortimer and Colonel Henderson) be nominated for re-election. The object of this stipu lation, of course, is to secure the return of Mr. Morti mer, on whose defeat the adverse faction had concen• trated their desires ; but, unless they consider thei r own candidate, Colonel Henderson, as an adequate set off, we do not see how the suggestion can well be refused acceptance. The other stipulation is that the chairmand of both committees (Mr. Currie and Mr. Snell) shoul be permitted to retain their candidatur es ; to which we believe Sir 'William himself has not the least objection ; but how Mr. Hutchins, Mr. Be nson, and others may be advised by Mr. Bircham, it is somewhat difficult to prognosticate. In the event , however, of tshi Williamr i. tion being agreed to, it woul d follow that Heathcote's responsibilityy would be reduced to select. ing one candidate from each list, the other five being as follows :—Sir Wm. Heathcote, Bart., Lieut.-Colonel Henderson, Henry. Mortimer, Esq., William Philip Snell, Esq., and Henry Currie, Esq. Assuming that an anti-extensionist is selected from the Morley Hotel Committee, that party would thus be increased from two to five in a board of thirteen. Should a contest by thug process be avoided, much good undoubtedly will have been effected ; but it still remains to be seen whether or not the great body of shareholders are likely to acquiesce in the arrangement.--Baillval Times.
