MISS TBOBNIIILL AND HER LOVER. The Lord Chancellor's judgment in the case g' Thornhill v. Thornhill," reported yesterday, may furnish Mr. Craik with an additional chapter for his " Romance of the Peerage," in the next edition of that ingenious work. The sayings and doings of the fair ward in Chancery, of her enamoured or " hard-up " suitor, of his helpful sister, and, " though last not least," of the great dignitary of the law himself, are as piquant as anything , in Grammont, Horace Walpole, or Le Sage. And they were developed in the Chancellor's prefatory elucidation of the grounds of his decision with an artistical skill in grouping that absolutely imparts to them a high dramatic effect. The judgment scene was a splendid tableau vivant. Much of the interest centres, of course, in the lover, Mr. George Augustus Hamilton Chichester — what a name for the author of a fashiona ble novel ; . Mr. Chichester is of high and reverend descent — the nephew of an Irish earl, and the son of an Irish dean. Yet, like Milton, Mr. Chichester " the lowliest duties on himself cloth lay." The noble youth does not disdain to draw the salary of a clerkship of the peace in Ireland. He is, indeed, a rather peculiar clerk of the peace : the public is f .uailiar with absentee Irish landlords, but absentee Irish clerks of the peace were little if it all heard of till the publicity given to the adventures of Mr. Chichester revealed the fact of their existence. The nobility of his connexions and the emoluments of his office notwithstanding, the g ay Mr. Chiches ter was deep in debt, p la g ued by duns, and other teasing incidents of s uch a state of ? existence. At his sister's house he encountered a fair heiress, who unluckily happened to be also a ward of Chancery ; but difficulties only rouse lovers to exertion. Whether Mr. Chichester's affections were won by the lady or her acres does not clearly appear. He writes indeed to his Clara in touching terms, but he has al so b een i n t h e h a bi t o f inter changing jokes with his friends, and even with her gamekeeper about the fine sporting he would have over her lands. And he was indiscreet enough to connect his first overtures to the lady under whose charge his mistress was placed with an allusion to his embarrassed circumstances. Forbidden the house, as poor lovers are apt to be, he solicited and obtained midnight interviews, talked of Gretna green, tried to allay the lady's fear of the law by quoting the opinions of eminent Chancery barris ters he had consulted, and, when she hinted at the feeling he had expressed on the elopement of a fair cousin of his, told her that for a noble lady to run away with a roturier was a sad faux-pas, but for an heiress of plebeian blood to run away with the scion of a noble house was perfectly right and proper. The mistress appears to have been as prudent and calculating as the lover. She evidently had a hankering after a match into a noble family, for she spoke to the swain from her bedroom window at midnight, and argued the elopement question with the acuteness and forecast of a lawyer. A sly puss too she appears to have been, for with a face of candour and innocence she showed her guar dians letters from her suitor's sister, concealing the fact that between the lines traced in ink were lines traced in lemon juice, which remained invisible till she, by holding the paper to the fire, should bring them out for her own private perusal. The Lord Chancellor expressed himself rapturously about th• " proper" conduct and" good feeling" of the young lady. What privileges rich wards of Chancery enjoy ! In what terms would the Lord Chancellor have spoken of auy portionless milliner who talked to a young man from her bedroom window at mid night, and deceived her guth.dians in such fashion as has be.en mentioned ? This well-matched pair had a confidante, as dex terous as any chambermaid in comedy or romance. Lady Ferrers it was who devised the clandestine correspondence in lemon juice ; Lady Ferrers it was who, when forbidden to correspond with the young lady, wrote to her brother letters meant to be shown to his mistress, for the purpose of allay ing her fears as to the consequences of an elope ment. This pleasant intercourse continued for some time. The young lady, over her crochet, indulged in visions of a coroneted sister-in-law. The young gentleman, smoking his cigar, dreamed of future battues in the well-stocked preserves of his bride. The sympathising sister taxed her ingenuity to aid the amorous pair, and derived unutterable pleasure from her exertions, for intrigue (we use the word in its most platonic and least exceptionable sense) is, like virtue, its own reward. But one unlucky day, the lady appointed by the Chancellor to act as duenna to the fair inamorata discovered the frag ments of a letter which revealed the secret of the lemon-juice correspondence. The acid entered into her soul, and all was made known to the Lord Chancellor. Full of indignation at the thought that a clerk of the peace, though of noble lineage, whose whole property was as the French say passive, should aspire to the portion of a ward of Chancery, his lordship donned his wig and summoned the culprits to his awful presence. What passed at these interviews may never be known—a close dark veil of secrecy is dropped over them. One shudders and thinks of Mrs. Radcliffe's Inquisition scenes. But the Chan cellor resolved to indulge the public, and add dignity to his solemn award, by inviting all the world to be witnesses of his judgment. Towards the fair ward of Chancery he was lenient. As already no ticed, he praised her for acting properly and with good feelin g . How to deport himself t owar d s th e naughty Lady Ferrers appears to have been a sad puzzler for the good man. At first he declared, "I do not think I am called upon to make any order to commit Lady Ferrers. This is a conclu sion at which I have arrived with very great doubt and anxiety. lam not at all confident that lam discharging my duty." After prosing away for an hour or two, however, his lordship took heart of grace, and ventured to think that he was discharg ing his duty. "Having said thus much, it may be asked am I not flinching in the discharge of my duty if I abstain from committing Lady Ferrers ? Well, I think lam not." And that for the suffi cient reason that the countess had cleverly kept on the windy side of the law. She was just out of reach of the Chancellor's claws ; he could touch but he could not catch her. There stood the clever, naughty lady, laughing at th e b a ffl e d and bewil dered judge. But if he could not punish, ho made himself ample amends by scolding her. He de clared her conduct was " disgraceful, and must for ever lower her in the society of her equals," a de nunciation which, it ia to be feared, she and her equals will endure with great equanimity. De prived of two victims, the concentrated indigna tion of the judge fell upon the devoted head of the third culprit. "The Tipstaff," said the Chancellor, " will now immediately take Mr. Chi chester into custody." His lordship added, "the order will be drawn out in the course of the morning." The judge's impatience to exe cute justice could not wait for tedious forms. The denouement is more impressive than any in dramatic art, except, perhaps, that of Schiller's Don Carlos," where the King and father tells the Inquisitor to do his duty—"A have done mine." We have done our utmost to work ourselves up to the pitch of excitement of the irate Chancellor, but we honestly confess without succeeding. We could as easily be indignant at the gossamer shadows which flit across the stage in Congreve's or Farquhar's plays, as with any of th e persona whofigure figure in this newest " romance of the peerage." We do not seek to extenuate the conduct of a gen tleman, who, after squandering his means, stoops to pocket the emoluments of a judicial appoint ment which he does not—perhaps cannot—dis charge. 'We do not seek to palliate the equivocal cleverness of his sister, with her letters half in common ink to be shown, half in lemon juice to be read in private, and her presents of baskets with billets-doitx, written on linen, stitched into their lining. Such conduct on the part of the son and daughter of a reverend Dean is not calculated to impress the public with a high idea of the man ner in which the dignified clergy) of the Irish Church bring up their children. But, after all , no thing Worse than a marriage appears to have been contemplated. If there was any love on either side it doe s shall -g room not ato have exceeded the faint pulaation s of flirtation. Thelady wanted a high connexion the gentlemen the means of paying off old scores,3 cool and living comfortably in future. Two such the and calculating . heads, who proposed to contract marriage h tie regard to the only kind of with a due ne appiness of which their not likely to lead a very natures are capable, were unhappy life together. affection ef.confidante in m p a a l y . plead the overpowering manne r liation of the rather equivo ca l set about patching , up her brother's fer i which she t n as for the awful Head of the Law, hi s ire appears And to have been kindled exclusiv e l y by the presump tion of the poor cle rk of the peace, who d are d raise his eyes to a we alth y hei ress' , and t o b e guilt y ° of that worst sin in the eyes of a Chancellor, , 6 c o ,; tempt of Court." Possibly the lady is at this n io _ ment singing, • , o tte rocs, "Heigh for ane-and twenty, Tam ;" the lover consoling the tediou s hours of imprisonment by dreaming over his recep tion when next he throws him self at her feet to tell what he has suffered for her sake. It may be a marriage yet for all that has come and gone ; and perhaps the reconciled Chancellor may smooth leis rugged to accept of a rugged brow and consent dinner from the penitent pair. The story is perhaps not alto.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—Nov. 21. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. TAYLOR V. NESSFIELD.-ASSAULT. Mr. Quain said he had to move on behalf of the I lain tiff to set aside the judgment entered for him in the first count of the declaration, on the ground that it had been entered by the defendant without plaintiff's knowledge. The action was brought against Mr. Nessfield, a magis trate of Derby. The first count was for assault and battery—the second for a malicious prosecution. The plaintiff recovered on the first count, with damages of one farthing, but failed on the second for want of due notice. The same plaintiff also brought an action at the fame time against a person named Dove, the courts being the same as in that tigainst Nessfield. On the first count he recovered 21., and on the second count 801. The cases came before this court on motions for new trials, which was refused in " Taylor v. Nessfield," so the verdict stood as it was ; but in " Taylor v. Dove" a new trial was granted on the motion of the defendant. Nessfield then obtained Lord Campbell's postea, 23 if with the object of entering up judgment for himself on the second count, but he entered it for the plaintiff on the first count ; and when the action against Dove came to be retried it was pleaded that there had been a joint trespass which had been tried, and that stopped the trial. Lord Campbell considered that Taylor and Nessfield being over, the defendant had a right to have the record perfected, but the learned counsel might take a rule to show cause: Role accordingly. BAIL COURT. TIDCOMBE AND OTHERS V. LAWRENCE.-A JUDGE'S DUTY. Mr. Naylor moved for a rule to show cause why a pro hibition should not issue to the judge of the Borough Court of Cambridge, on the ground that the judge bad an interest in the cause. It was an act of trespass by the trustees of a literary institution called the Working Man's Reading Room, established at Cambridge. The property of the society was vested in the committee as trustees for the members, and the property of the insti tution was the question in the cause. The judge was an honorary member of the institution, and it was sug gested that he should not try the cause. He, however, insisted on doing so, and the defendant withdrew from court, when a verdict passed for the plaintiffs. His lordship granted a rule. THE QUEEN V. HAZLEWOOD AND OTHEES.-THE NEW PIER AT LONDON-BRIDGE. Mr. Bovill moved fur a certiorari to bring up an in dictment which had been found at the Old Bailey against the defendants for a nuisance in erecting a pier in the Thames on the Surrey side of London-bridge. Rule granted. THE QUEEN V. THE RECORDER OP BIRMINGHAM. In this case, moved yesterday by Mr. Serjeant > filler, Mr. Justice Crompton said that as the matter was one of considerable importance he would grant the rule ; but he entertained a strong impression against it. Rile granted. THE QUEEN V. PORTER.-ALLEGED PERJURY. In this case a rule had been obtained calling on the prosecutor to show cause why the applicant should not be admitted to bail in the country. He had been com mitted for trial on a charge of perjury, committed in evidence he had given before Mr. Crusoe, one of the justices of Staffordshire, in behalf of a person charged before him with trespassing in pursuit of game. Mr. Huddleston now showed cause against the rule. Mr. Justice Crompton thought this was a proper case for bail, and he would admit the prisoner to bail on two sureties of 201. each, or four of 101. each. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. _ . IN RE BULLOCI.--EIGHT OF A WIFE TO CONTRACT DEBTS FOR LUXURIES. The bankrupt was a chemist and druggist, of Conduit street. A claim was made to prove against the estate for about 2001., the balance of a d e bt o f 3501 . , b y t h e assignees of errington, draper, of Bond-street, also a bankrupt. _ Mr. heed appeared on behalf of the assignees of Mer rington to support the claim. Mr. Lowrance, for the assignees of Bullock, resistod the claim. A clerk of Merrington's proved the purchase of the goods by Mrs. Bullock. Sometimes she came to his master's shop, and sometimes the goods were taken by witness to Mr. Bullock's house, where she made the purchases. Mr. Bullock was present on some occasions when the goods:were bought. Recollected one such oc casion, when a parasol, at 335. 6d., was purchased. He recollected that because Mr. Bullock was then playing with a lap-dog. (A. laugh.) Had seen Mrs. Bullock wearing some of the dresses so bought. Mr. Lowrance pointed out one item of 15 guineas for a silk cloak, and asked the witness if it were customary for tradesmen's wives to buy such expensive articles of dress Witness—Yes ; many tradesmen's wives buy articles quite as rich as that. We frequently sell them articles at 10 or 12 guineas each. The Commissioner—During what time was this 3501. worth of goods obtained ? It appeared from the bill produced that it was between February and December of last year. It also appeared that no part of the 1501. which had been paid had been paid by the bankrupt. Mr. Lawrauce called attention to the following items : —two brocaded robes, 17 guineas, in March ; two ditto, 17 guineas, in the next month ; sky mantle, 14 guineas ; another dress, 15 guineas ; and on one day, December 14, goods, 521. 14s. ; also velvet jacket, 4 guineas ; and a sable muff 15 guineas. It was admitted that Mr. Bullock had not been applied to for payment until the whole of the debt had been contracted. Mr. Lawrance said this was a most melancholy case. An entry in Bullock's Lalance-sheet showed how the wretched vanity of a woman might involve her unfor tunate husband in ruin, as was the case here. In Westminster-hall, a tradesman who had supplied goods to such an amount and under such circumstances, had not teen held entitled to the slightest consideration. Scarcely any lady among the aristocracy would be warranted in running up such a bill in ten months —s2t. worth of goods in a single day. The claim ought not to be allowed, for Merrington was net justified in supplying such an enormous quantity of arti cles, of the most expensive luxury, to the wife of a chemist and druggist without leave of the husband, who lived in the next street. He called on the court to re ject the claim. Mr. Reed, while admitting that many of the items were of a highly objectionable character, contended upon the authority of " Manley v. Scott" (Smith's cases), that the husband was bound to pay a debt so contracted by his wife. It was there laid down by all the judges, that if the wife purchased goods, and the husband, by any act, precedent or subsequent, ratified the contract, that was a cor.sent, and the husband must be held liable. Mr. Justice Bayley had, in effect, held, that whenever the husband and wife lived together the husband must be bound by the acts of the wife, where there was rea sonable evidence to show that the wife had made the contract with his consent. In this case, the wife must, according to the evidence, be regarded as the agent of the husband, who could not be absolved from the liabi lity without giving Merrington notice that he would not be liable. His Honour said it was quite clear that in this case there was not sufficient evidence to establish the general cognisance of the husband, who, it would appear, only knew of a few articles having been bought. A single instance where a man might indulge his wife was not sufficient to warrant a tradesman in afterwards supply. ing her with articles of the most extravagant nature, of great value, and at enormous prices. That would be en exceedingly dangerous doctrine to lay down—a doc trine which would lead to this : that because a husband, no matter what his means or position was, sanctioned the purchase of Necessaries, or a few luxuries by his wife, she might make purchases to any extent, even though it may involve him in utter ruin. Both parties before him being bankrupts, he (the Commissioner) must put himself in the position of a jury ; and, adopt.ng that character, the court felt perfectly convinced that no jury would treat as necessaries dresses at 151. or 171. each to the wife of a chemist and druggist. The account must be examined by some competent person, and settled upon this principle—that necessaries be paid for, but that all articles--say exceeding 51. in price —having been supplied without the sanction of the bankrupt be disallowed. He might finally observe that tradesmen owed a duty in this respect to one another as traders, and ought not to encourage such extravagance, at least, unless they well knew the husband was cogni sant of it. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. h te d d o afer and V of as th i a nd L i o c (Before Mr. With am.) North- Western s tealing o rth. 30 S o te w p t 1 . &e o n f L ir a oz be t r h t e , ca pr r o i p na er n t , y Western Railway Company. It appeared that a quantity of old irog was lying about the stables at Camde n -t own station, and the pri soner had from time to time carried portions away in his cart. The prisoner was found guilty, and the C onrt sen tenced him to three months' hard labour. William Harrison, 63, warehouseman, and Louisa Harrison, 33, his wife, were indicted for stealing three silver forks and other property, value 141., belonging to Anne Ingleby, the mistress of the female prisoner. They were charged in another count with receiving with a felonious knowledge. Mrs. Ingleby was a widow, residing at 306, Regent street, and the female prisoner had been her servant for about eighteen months. The male prisoner had been in the habit of visiting his wife, who en several occasions had given him plate to pledge. This was found out by the prosecutrix, bet, out of consideration for the man, whom she had known for 40 years, and on the female promis ing to redeem the articles, she forgave them, and re tained her in her service. On the 6th inst, the prose cutrix returned home from a short visit in the country, and she then missed the property mentioned in the in dictment, which the female at once admitted she had given to her husband for disposal. Some of the articles were found at his house and some were pledged. The j ur y conv i cted the female pr i soner o f stea li ng an d the other of receiving . Mr. Witham 0. sentenced them each to one year's hard labour. The r p osecntrix applied that the oods might be given up to her b y the pawnbrokers. g The assistants whop roduced they.ought not to be p the articles urged that inasmuch as the proseefuT to give up the property, her service after she had r had retained the woman in now in her hand 6/. c om mitted due to one felony , and had with which the prisoner s the prisoner as wages, articles. said he would redeem the Mr.,Witha. 3 .4 g• 1 44 the 5'96904tr4X4V4 pay blio 6/. to the pawnbrokers, rateably, before she could have the things. The prosecutrix denied that she owed anything, and said she was a poor woman, upon whom this order would be a great hardship. Mr. Witham said he should not alter his decision. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GIIILDHALL.—John Davis, a Welsh cattle dealer, staying at the Lock and Key, Smithfield, was charged with cruelty to seven bullocks. The evidence was that he bought the cattle, and as they were handed over to him he took out his knife and made several cuts on their left buttocks, causing the blood to flow and much pain to the pour dumb animals. The usual way of marking beasts was by clipping the hair off the right buttock with scissors. The defendant said that this was the first time he had visited Smithfield-market, and he did not know its rules and regulations. He had only marked the animals according to the custom of his country. The Alderman said it was a very cruel custom, and he should fine him 205., or 14 days' imprisonment. The fine was paid. BOW-STREET.—A. middle-aged gentleman, who gave the name of Thomas Francis Allen, and said he was a magistrate from the country, was charged with t,eing drunk and indecent, and Mary Jones, a prostitute, was placed at the bar with him. From the statement of the constable it appeared that the male defendant was in Henrietta-street surrounded by a number of prostitutes, at an early hour of the morning. He appealed to the officer to protect him from their importunities, upon which the latter ordered the woman away. Shortly afterwards, however, he bad rejoined the company of one of the women, and he saw them acting indecently towards eac h o th er ; h e conse quently too them both into custody. The male defen dant was drunk. Mr. Allen complained of the treatment he had been exposed to at the police station, where the police searched him, took possession of his money, and refused for some time to let him send for bail ; the consequence being that he, a gentleman and a magistrate, had been locked up in a cell. It was true that he bad got a little intoxicated by driaking confusion to the Russians, but he denied the charge of indecency. A messenger employed at the police-station proved that he was sent by defendant to the Hammums-hotel, Covent-garden, but there was no one there wbo would come and bail him. Defendant then said, "Go to Jardine or Hall. They know me very well, and ask them to bail me." The messenger declined this mission, and as no one offered to bail the gentleman he was kept in custody. He said be was a mayor last year. A large sum of money was found on defendant, of which the police took charge. _ _ Mr. Henry was ashamed to see a person is the de fendant's station of life in custody upon such a charge. As he was entitled to no consideration, he must pay the full penalty of 2/. The woman was fined 1/. and committed in default. MARLBORO UGH - STREET. —Richard Shires, cef fee-house keeper, No. 33, Castle-street, Leicester-square, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with felony. The charge arose out of a robbery committed by a woman on a foreigner in prisoner's house. Prosecutor swore that his purse was handed to the prisoner, who assisted the woman to make her escape. lhe magistrate said he should require good bail for defendant's appearance on a future occasion. SOUTHWARK. -11r. Combo was occupied all the afternoon in hearing a number of summonses against manufacturers, tanners, and others, in the district of this court, for net using the best practicable means to prevent or counteract the annoyance from smoke, and other nuisances caused in the carrying on of their business. The first cage was against Messrs. Jones, tanners and japanners of leather, Russel-place, Bermondsey. Defendants were fined 405., the payment of the penalty being, however, suspended for a month to enable them to comply with the act of parliament. Informations were next beard against Mr. Charles Thorp, paper stainer, 33arnbara-street, Tooley-street ; Mr. John Foster, of the Rice-mills, Shad, Thames, and Messrs. H. and J. Eason, tanners, Bermondsey. In each case the payment of a penalty was suspended, to enable the parties summoned to remove the nuisances complained of. LAMBETH.—Mr. Tames SherT aged 69, who is in the enjoyment of a pension from government of 3001. a year, appeared before Mr. Elliott to answer to a sum mons charging him with threatening to shoot Mr. Jacob Waterhouse, his next door neighbour. Mr. Lilly, the barrister, attended on behalf of the defendant. Mr. Waterhouse, the complainant, deposed that for two years past himself, his family, and his neighbours had been constantly annoyed by the practice of dis charging firearms—guns and pistols—at different hours of the day and night, and latterly his propensity to the practice had so increased that it had become not only alarming but perfectly dangerous. On Wednesday last he (witness) remonstrated with Mr. Sheriff en the sub ject, and the only reply he received from that gentleman was that he would shoot him. Mr. Elliott—Have you any apprehension that he will carry that threat into execution Mr. Waterhouse—l really have, your workehip. Mr. Sheriff is a gentleman who drinks a great deal, and therefore loses all restraint ever himself, so that my family, as well as myself, are in terror and danger of his indiscriminate firing. The defendant was ordered to put in sureties to keep the peace and be of good behaviour for six moats. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER-TUESDAY.

Vessels arriving in Brazil from ports where cholera exists, or touchin g a t p or t s i n f ec t e d with that disease, shall not be admitted to free pratique unless they shall have been at least twenty-five days on the passage (counting from leaving the last of said ports), and if there shall have been no case of said disease during the passage. Second. Vessels arriving from ports where the epidemic in question and making a p assage i n a l ess num berot prevails, days than above specified, after being purified by the means pointed out by the President of the Central Board of Health, shall be admitted to free pratique, provided they shall have been at least fifteen days on the passage, and that there had not appeared any case of said disease on board.

Pursuant to preliminary notices from the Royal Navy department of the 4th Sept. and the 14th Oct. of this cur rent year, public notice is hereby given, that the 3-masted light ship therein mentioned now has occupied the place of the temporary light ship which, on the 24th of September, last year, was stationed at the Coppergreund, eleven miles S. to E. from the easternmost part of the mainland of Lm sae, and that the same, for the first time, has exhibited its light on Sunday, the 29th Oct., half an hour after sunset. The new floating light exhibits three flames, one on each -mast, whereof the middle one is 40 feet, and the other two 28 feet, elevated above the surface of the water. The ap paratus of each flame consists of eight sinumbra lamps, with silver plated parabolical reflectors, placed in a lantern round the mast. The ship has a red ball at the top of each mast, and, like the other Danish light ships, its hull painted red on the outside, with a white cross, in which the Danish name of the station, " Kobbergrunden," is exhibited.

(Prom the Report of the Registrar-General. ) In the week that ended last Saturday 1,309 deaths were registered in London. Having fallen to 1,160 in the previous week, the lowest number attained since the late epidemic, the deaths again exhibit an increase, the effect of increased cold in the closing months of the year. The mean weekly temperature was 601 deg. in the second week of September ; since that time it has fallen almost continually till it was only 42 . 2 deg. in the week that ended November 11; and last week it has further declined to 40 . 9 deg. The mean temperature of last week is about 5 deg. be- low the average of ten corresponding weeks, and the effect of this depression is perceptible near the begin ning and end of life, for 666 children died, whilst the average is 539 ; and 267 old persons died, the average being 212. Between the periods of 15 and 60 years the mortality did not exceed the ordinary rate. In the ten weeks corresponding to last week of the years 1844-53 the average number of deaths was 1,024, which, if raised in proportion to increase of population, becomes 1,126. The present return shows a mortality considerably greater than usual. _ _ _ _ - Twelve deaths were caused by cholera, and 31 by diarrhoea. Smallpox was fatal in 29 cases, measles in 24, hooping-cough in 34, and scarlatina in 106, To the entire class of zymotic diseases 332 deaths—a high mor tality—are referred ; and to diseases of the respiratory organs 246, which is . also more than the average at this period. The 12 deaths from cholera occurred in the following sub-districts :—ln Westminster, St. John 1 ; in West minster, St. Margaret 1 ; in Marylebone, St. John 1 ; in St. Giles South 1 ; in St. Giles North 1 ; in the City of London South-east 1 ; in Hoxton Old Town 1 ; in Whitechapel, Mile-end New Town 1 ; in Aldgate 1 ; in Kent road 1 ; in Newington, Trinity 1 ; and in Ro therhithe 1. The registrars, in compliance with instructions given to them, make occasional communications in their re turns with reference to the deaths they have registered, and to particular circumstances in which these have occurred. The correctness of such opinions and state ments must be held to rest exclusively on the testimony of the registrars, and of the medical or other infor mants. Mr. Rixon, the registrar of the sub-district of Wool wich Arsenal, who :registered two deaths of children from small-pox, observes that the Vaccination Act is nearly, if not quite, a dead letter in his district. Scarlatina is fatally prevalent in Islington, Mr. But terfield, the registrar of the east sub-district, having re corded last week 9 deaths of children from that disease. At 11, Hornsey-road, on 10th November, a carpen ter's apprentice, aged 16 years, died of " erytbematous eruption (7 days)." Mr. Iludleston, his medical atten dant, writes :—" I have seen a considerable number of these cases, apparently contagious, among children ane young adults.
