The Pomeranian Provincial Diet was closed on the Ist inst. In its 14th sitting the following questions were laid before that assembly :- Ist. If the Provincial Diet was an institution in harmony with the Constitution of 1850, and existed by right ? 2d. Should his Majesty the King be peti tioned to remain firm to his promise of sth June, 1823, to protect the Provincial Diet, and avail him self of their counsels ? 33. Should his Majesty be petitioned to submit to the consideration of the Pro vincial Diets all the laws which without their con• currence have been passed since they last met ? The first of these questions was answered unani mously in the affirmative; the second was affirmed by .a majority of 45 against 1; and the third was negatived by 28 votes against 18. The s pecial Austrian Envoy, M. Hock, has re turned to Frankfort. He visited Munich and Stutt gardt during his absence. The Prussian Chambers:were summoned to meet on the 27th inst. The Members of the Opposition have published the following statement of grievances : Notwithstanding the 12th Article of the Constitu tion guarantees the right of forming religious congrega tions and assembling for general public worship and religious exercise, the practical use of these rights, as well as obtaining the means of doing so, are subjected to the discretion of the police and its orders, and make every one liable to repeated legal prosecutions, As it was oz.ce with respect to the old Lutherans, so it is now with the free congregations. The law relating to civil mArrisge, promised in the 19th Article of the Constitu tion, has never been enacted. Equal civil rights are not secured to those religionists that are beyond the sym pathies or above the individual opinions and tendencies of the present official hierarchy. In most of the pro vinces the Evangical Church asks in vain for an orga nization and constitution that shall secure it the inde pendent management of its own affairs. " The law of the 30th of December, 1842, enacts that no independent Prussian subject shall be refused per mission to reside, or shall have the obtaining such per mission made difficult by burdensome conditions, wher ever he is able to support himself or maintain his own household. The Constitution guarantees to every Prus sian subject the right of freely expressing his opinions; yet to these fundamental rights, though both existed before the Constitution, the police authorities make any exceptions they choose, and they do so especially with regard to incJuvenient writers of the Opposition party, though they may be men of the most honourable private character and perfectly blameless lift. Sufficient for the authorities is their interpretation of the Pass Edict of 1817 and older regulations, which were only intended to protect the public against c:iminala, vagabonds, and disreputable characters. " the political press is liable to the oppression of po lice confiscations and regulations, to which belong in the foremost rank the forfeiture of the trading license of the printer or publisher, or the withdrawal of the trans mission through the post, at the will of the Adminis trative power. And all this occurs, though the whole tent42ncy of the law that has exhausted all the penalties against offc:nces of the press is to regard the co-opera tive police authorities only as organs subordinate to the courts of law, though the courts alone have the right of deciding as to the forfeiture of trading licenses, though the power of withdrawing the transmission by post was thrown out of the Government draft of the law by the Chambers. _ . The right of caseciation guaranteed by the 30th Article of the Constitution has long been overborne by the dislike and suspicion of the administrative power, and made impossible by numerous limiting measures and regulations." POLAND. A letter from the frontiers of Poland states—" In the night from the 29th to the 30th of October that terrible visitation the Branka (conscription) passed over the whole kingdom. It sweeps into the ranks of the Russian army the strength of the youth of Po land. Last year the conscription was not made till All-Sutir- day ; this year it is put in force a day or two "earlier, that any attempt to evade it might be an ticipated. Generally, however, such attempts are be coming rarer. Deserions are not so numerous as for merly, as the conscripts know they can find little refuse in the neighbouring frontier districts ; and in the interior it is still more impossible."

STOW-ON-TrIE-WOLD, WEDNESDAY.—This quiet and retired district, in the centre of the bleak Cots wold range of hills, has been thrown into a state of consternation by the murder of a wealthy farmer, Mr George Hambidge, by his illegitimate son. The circumstances as elicited in evidence at the coroner's inquest terminated yesterday before the dis trict coroner, Jos. Lovegrove, Esq., are as follows : The deceased, Mr. George Hambidge, was a respect able farmer advanced in life, and resided at the village of Iccombe, near this town. The prisoner, whose mother's name was Fisher, and who was an illegiti mate son of the deceased, was also a farmer well to do in the world, and living in the same neighbour hood. On Saturday the prisoner went to the house of a Mrs. Watts, a neighbour, residing at Churchcombe, and asked her to go to his father's house, as he wished her to keep house for him while he went out with him (the prisoner). Mrs. Watts accordingly accom panied him to his father's, and there she found the old man in the kitchen by the fire. The prisoner's wife was also sitting with him, with her child. Mrs. Hambidge, or Fisher, went up stairs with Mrs. Watts and the child to dress, and left the father and son together in the kitchen. This was about one o'clock in the afternoon. They had scarcely been up stairs ten minutes when they heard the re port of a gun in the kitchen, and Mrs. Fisher, fearing some catastrophe, ran down stairs, and there to her horror beheld her husband standing in the room with a gun in his hand, and his father lying a mangled corpse in his chair. She screamed out for help, and on Mrs. Watts going down she found the prisoner supporting his father in the chair, but he was quite dead. Others of the neighbours rushed in, and found the poor old man in the state described, with his blood flowing on the floor of the room, and his daughter in a violent fit, from which it was some time ere she re covered. The prisoner, who had been drinking, but was described as in a state to know what he was about, repeatedly exclaimed that he " had killed his father," and he added, in an apparently cool and collected manner, " I nicked the gun twice, and it didn't go off, but it went off the third time.' The police shortly afterwards arrived, and took the prisoner into custody, and while in the house be went to a cupboard in one of the rooms, and took from it a paper. The policeman immediately took it from him, and replaced it. It proved to be the de ceased father's will. When in custody of the police man he said, "I have shot him, and must take the consequences. I shall be tried for my life. It was a good thing my wife was up stairs, for it was as likely to be her as him. If Mary Ann had not snatched the gun out of my hand I should have shot myself." Mr. Jenkins, the surgeon, who was called in to exa mine the body, described its appearance and the cause of death. There was a gunshot wound in the upper part of the chest, and two of the left ribs were frac tured. The wound was three inches in length and two in width. The immediate cause of death was perforation of the windpipe. When he first saw the body he found a piece of flesh attached to the wall behind the chair in which the deceased was lying. Mr. Jenkins thought the muzzle of the gun must have been close to the deceased at the time he was shot. The shot passed completely through the clothes and the body, coming out at the back. At the close of the inquiry the Coroner addressed the jury, who after a short consultation found a ver dict of " Wilful murder against John Hambidge, alias Fisher ;" and the Coroner thereupon committed him for trial at the next Gloucester assizes. being looked at, and dancing with loose legged cava liers, picked up Heaven knows where—a sight such as I shall never forget, so painful, so absurd, so hideous. And this was a ball ! If Bloomerism is not utterly discredited and extinguished by this, I shall be amazed. Who could for a moment com pare the costume there worn with that of an ordinary ball dress ? No one but a child or a bumpkin who thinks the actresses at a fair are " radient forms of light." About one o'clock there came an accession of Bloomers, a bevy of Gauls, somewhat better dressed, but the Bartholomew Fair stamp ineffaceable on all. As the men seemed to get more and more riotous, I thought it time to depart, and I did so, convinced that Bloomerism was quashed. I remembered that a lady correspondent from Dresden had told me how the tailors there have taken a large building in the Altmarkt, which they christen Academie der Kleider kunst, or Academy of the Art of Tailoring, and are there occupied in inventing a sort of national costume, in order to do away with French fashions, against which their pride revolts. Success to them ! But this appears to me to be the case with all reforms, whether of politics, language, or costume, viz., they must pass to a higher stage through modifications of existing things. Bloomerism will fail as the Phonetic system failed—the change is too sudden, the leap too great. Home I drove, sad and thoughtf u l. My expecta tions had not only been disappointed, but I had seen human nature under aspects by no means favourable. The mob outside, the mob inside, and those pot): creatures flaunting in satin, driving one's thoughts in upon one's soul to brood there in sadness. Above shone the cold stars, distant and dim. Around all was silent. My wearied head was soon reposing on the pillow, and I too passed into silence. ABUNDANCE OF GOLD. The question as to the probable effects of an abundance of gold is again in agitation. California has thus far realised more than was expected by the most sanguine, the product at the end of each year having exceeded the highest estimate at the com mencement, and there are now indications of a similar promise from the new regions in Australia. A disposition, however, still prevails to believe that DO extraordinary changes in the relations of money are impending. When the Californian mines were first discovered it was admitted that if anything like eight or ten millions sterling should annually be produced for a series of years, there could be no doubt strange effects would be witnessed. But it was contended that instead of this continued yield there would be a gradual decline after the first year or two. The idea being now effectually set aside, a new argument is adopted. The exports of gold from California for the twelve months ending the 31st December, 1850, were equal, it is supposed, to 12,000,0001., while for the present year, judging from the first nine months, they may be estimated at 15,000,0001. In the face of this supply there has been no very observable disturbance in the measure of value. It is therefore assumed that the aug mented quantity has been met by an augmented de• mend, and that with the increasing traffic of the world a like annual addition will henceforth easily be absorbed. This inference, although it is urged by some able economical writers, appears altogether unsupported. The only tests of the result of the increased supply would be an alteration in the relative value of gold and silver, or a general and unaccountable rise in the prices of all articles. But the extensive displacement of silver which has occurred in France, and which was plainly foreseen, has prevented the first of these from being available, except to a very limited extent, while, with regard to the second, the changes in our com mercial system have been such as to produce a rapid fall in all commodities far more than sufficient to neutralize any moderate influences of an opposite kind. Apart from free trade, moreover, there is quite enough to account for the increased influx having thus far produced no palpable manifestations. The Bank of France at this moment holds 8,000,0001. sterling in excess of what she possessed in 1849 ; the extent to which hoarding both of gold and silver has been carried on all over the Continent during the past three years, and especially in Italy and throughout the Austrian empire, has perhaps been unprecedented ; a drain no less remarkable has been caused by the Irish emigration, which has carried large totals to western America, where much of it will long remain ; and finally, there has been the return to India of a great portion of that specie which was suddenly drawn to Englard after the panic of 1847. Exceptional circumstances exist, therefore, suffi cient to render it unnecessary to assume that an in crease in the demand for gold has suddenly sprung up to an extent such as steadily to absorb fifteen millions per annum. The tendency of civilization is to render needless the use of the precious metals for purposes of barter, and although new colonies and settlements for a time create fresh demands, there is no reason to suppose that they more than counteract the econo mical influences elsewhere in progress. Even Cali fornia herself is not believed to have absorbed, in the shape of circulation, more than two or three millions, while on the other hand we have to bear in mind the effects of extended banking accommodation and the use of money orders, postage stamps, and other similar contrivences, which are more or less being imitated in every part of the world. Hence we may still infer that previously to the dis covery of California the production of gold, increased as it had been by the large supply from Russia, was equal most probably to the annua l demand; that its value is consequently liable to be reduced nearly to the extent of the exports from California, and that such reduction will of course be measured by the propor tionmay bear to the existing What the amo unt o f that stock may be is stoek. which the new suppl y wholly unknown, but there can be little ques an insignificant additi on to i t. Some in tion that fifteen millions p er annum i s not rela tively gators have surmised that 400 millions is about the total in circulation thr oug h ou t th e wor ld. If that can be taken as in any d egree cor r ec t, it w ill v easily be understood that the Californian supplies must soon make themselves seriously felt whenever the condition of Europe shall cause the quantities now eagerly secreted to return to active purposes. But it is, after all, n o t a question of an addition of fifteen millions per annum. If any reliance can be placed on ordinary evidence, the production from California alone is only likely to be limited by the amount of population able to reach the State and the rapidity of the arrangements for obtaining ma chinery. It is impossibl e to name any other reason why the fifteen millions should not be increased to thirty or sixty. No word of failing supplies has yet reached us. On the contrary, the miners seem dis posed to welcome as many fellow-labourers as may see fit to join them, and every one asserts that the whole country is rich, and that as far as the present generation are concerned it may be pronounced inex haustible. The old impression that gold is never found in large or continuous quantities is wholly dis pelled, and scarcely any news could now arrive from take the public greatly by surp r i se . , In California, ae Be o o l f i ' v t i h a O Pseceriru or Australia, that could circumstances it must be in jurious to encourage the tendency, al w ays too strong in the majority of minds, to believe that the old routine of things is to go on as it has always gone. the It can do no harm to keep the possibilities of the case constantly in view, so that people may learn gradually and quietly to adapt their interests to whatever may occur. At the same time it may be questioned if the changes destined to be produced will not be so balanced in their operation as greatly to diminish the relative disturbance among the various in terests that must be affected by them. On the 22d February, 1849, the Times gave an outline of the primary effects to be looked for from any striking alteration of the relations between the precious metals and property in general, and the subject has been dealt with elsewhere and on other occasions until the public have become familiar with it. But although the fact is understood that real estate and all properties the rent or charge for which can be raised at will are secure from depreciation in case of an increased currency, while the property of annuitants, on the contrary, will be exposed to it, there are a vast number of modifications to be taken into account by which this course of affairs may be singularly influenced. The impulse of many, when they first glance at the question, is to sell annuities and buy land. Others think justly, that railways, steam-vessels, houses, machinery, &c., must be equally or still more desirable. The march of progress, how ever, which has brought about the late discoveries of gold must also bring changes that will affect in some measure the fixedness even of these possessions. While the distance between the United States and England is being lessened year by year in a way that bids fair to constitute them neighbouring coun tries, the fact that lands are to be had in abundance at ss. to 20s. per acre on one side must operate power fully on the value of similar holdings on the other. The improvements in modes of building, such as have been foreshadowed by the construction of the Crystal Palace, must likewise import a more temporary cha racter to existing house property. The same is to be said with regard to ships, railroads, canals, and all things that come within the range of scientific advance ment. In this way it will be seen that while the annui tant will be unable to rely upon the perpetuity of his in come furnishing him with an exemption from the ne• nessity of vigilance, labour, or enterprise, the same fate awaits most of those who are embarked in diffe rent investments. The alarm of one class, therefore, may be mitigated by the fact that all others may be more or less affected by analogous conditions ; and the promise for the future is that while it will be difficult for persons of wealth to find any secure resting place for indolence, the universal activity that will be called up will furnish continuous rewards to sagacity and exertion such as have never before been offered in any age.—rimoi City Article. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 7, 1851. LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 6. FLIGHT V. THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM. The suit in this case was ins'itutei by Mr. Flight, the plaintiff, on behalf of himself and all other judg ment creditors of the Duke of Buckingham, subse quent to the 27th of May, 1847, and registered be fore the Ist of May, 1850, the object being to enforce payment of their judgments, and to set aside a deed of conveyance by the Duke of Buckingham to his son, the Marquis of Chandos, bearing date the 27th of May, 1847, and executed, as the bill alleged, to defeat the claims of the plaintiffs. The bill stated that the Duke possessed large estates in England and Ireland, some of them in settlement with a life interest to the Duke, while over others the Duke had an ab solute power of appointment, and that there was also large personal estate, the whole property of the Duke being over 2,000,0001., and the personal estate 500,000/. The conveyance was made to the Marquis on certain trusts, and, as the bill alleged, for no va luable consideration. 1 ~ The plaintiff, Flight, it was stated, was a simple creditor of the Duke, and obtained the Duke's pro missory notes for 21,0001. in all, and having brought an action to recover this sum, after the date of the deed, he obtained judgment, and now filed his bill to have the benefit thereof. To this a plea was put in, in which it was averred that the conveyance was for good and valuable consideration, and made bond fide, and that this was a sufficient bar to the whole of the relief prayed, and to part of the discovery sought, and an answer was put in covering the re maining part. The validity of the plea now came on to be argued. Mr. Elmlie and Mr. C. Hall for the plea. Mr. Roupell and Mr. Rogers for the bill. The MASTER of the ROLLS postponed judgment till Monday next. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Nov. 6. (Before Mr. Commissioner EYANS.) IN RE SCHOFIELD. The bankrupt, James Schofield, of Aldermanbury, warehouseman, came up to pass his last examination. The accounts, extending over a period of 10 months, show the following :—Creditors, 610/. ; ditto holding security, 421. ; profits, 269/ ; liabilities, 331/. • defi ciency November 1, 1850, 322/. ; prop e rty taken by the assignee, 123/. ; property in the hands of credi tors, 72/. ; trade expenses, 97/. ; private expenses, 163/ ; losses, 88/. Mr. Linklater supported the bankrupt; Mr. Reed appeared for the assignees, and offered no opposition. The bankrupt passed. (Before Mr. Commissioner PANE.) IN BB FOLLIT. The bankrupt, W. E. Follit, of Chenies-place, Somers'-town, carver and gilder, applied for his cer tificate. The accounts from the Ist of September, 1849, to July 25, 1851, show the following :—Cre ditors, 1,9761. ; ditto holding security, 313/.; bilities, 427/.; profits, 1,2631.; surplus September, 1849, 4201 ; debtors good, 601.; doubtful, 5571. ; property held by creditors, 131/.; trade expenses, 1,2521. ; rent and taxes, Sol/. ; law expenses, 2051. ; house and personal, 6601.; losses, 6011. Mr. Lawrance supported the bankrupt ; Mr. Link later, for the absent solicitor to the assignees, offered no opposition ; and _ _ _ Mr - . Moss, a creditor who opposed, said he had sold bankrupt goods in February, taking a six months' bill. The bankruptcy occurred in July. The bankrupt, on examination by Mr. LAWRANCE, said he had never sold any goods at auction-rooms ; he had never sent goods to auction-rooms; some were sold in the ordinary way, others under the execution. He had made considerable alterations, as London was becoming very full on account of the Exhibition ; and he had great expectation of doing a very good busi ness. He had taken two cottages out of London, also, for the purpose of letting to the visitors to the Exhibition. Mr. LAWRANCE said he did not know if the time had arrived when the Exhibition would be charged— His HONOUR, interrupting—l suppose it made rail ways solvent, and other people insolvent. Mr. LAWRANCE said the bankrupt had been in duced, on account of the Exhibition, to make great alterations in his premises, and, on account of the number of visitors to the Exhibition, he indulged in the hopes of doing a greater business. With respect to the amount of debts, it was a singular fact that the bankrupt was only opposed by one creditor, his other creditors having no complaint to make, and there was no objection to his general conduct as a trader. His HONOUR (to the bankrupt) —What did you owe the National Linen Company 1521. for? The bankrupt—For furniture for my cottages. The COMMISSIONER—Then, this National Linen Company are dealers in furniture ? The Bankrupt—Yes ; I bought linen as well as furniture. The COMMISSIONER said there was no circum stance in favour of the bankrupt. Upon looking at the accounts he owed about 2,700/., and he did not produce fur his creditors any property whatever, at least only 71. had been received by the official as signee. His insolvency bad been as decided as any insolvency could be. After a seizure bad taken place a person had attempted to make him a bank rupt, and, instead of submitting to his bankruptcy, as he ought to have done, he actually took proceedings for the purpose of resisting the bankruptcy. So much for his general conduct. 'With respect to the oppo sition by Moss, it appeared that the bankrupt took goods upon sale and return. Moss became alarmed, and entered into arrangements by which he obtained a bill. Moss felt he was very much wronged, and so he certainly was. There was no one circumstance in his favour, as he had said, and, under the circum stances, it was his (the Commissioner's) duty to postpone the certificate for two years from the date of the bankruptcy, and he should withhold protection. Upon the application by Mr. Lawrence fur pro tection, His HONOUR said, if he should he sent to prison he should release him within six months. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. , If A AIME R OH TH. William .Harris, aged 33, and .Henry Round, aged 20, were charged with having on the 7th of October last, feloniously shot police -sergeant Edward Earthy, 19, T division, and with stopping a gentleman named Frederick Bashford on the Queen's highway, and pre senting a loaded pistol, and threatening to blow that gentleman's brains out if he did not give up his pro perty ; the prisoners were further charged with steal ing a silver watch and gold guardchain, together with a purse co n t a i n i ng two sovere i gns an d Lee half sovereigns, on the evening of Tuesday, the 7th ult., shortly after that gentleman had quitted the Southall station, on the Great Western Railway. The prisoner Round was further charged with hav ing stopped Mr. E. Long, a baker, of the Uxbridge road, Ealing, on the Bth ult., and robbed him of four sovereigns, two half-sovereigns, and about six shil lings in silver. T o thi s person he prisoner presented a loaded pistol, which was found in his pocket by the police, and still loaded with two bullets or slugs. Police-sergeant Edward Earthy, 19 T, was the first witness examined, and, being very weak from the wounds he had received, was accommodated with a chair. The witness spoke in a low tone of voice. He said :—On Wednesday, the Bth ult., he was at East Acton, Middlesex. About eight o'clock in the evening he met policeman Bayley in Acton-lane. They proceeded together about 200 yards along the lane, when he saw two men standing together under the shade of a large elm tree. They (the officers) made towards them, and, by the light of the moon, he saw they were both wearing black masks. He had received infor mation that a highway robbery had been committed on the previous day, and from the description of the robbers, he suspected these men. Witness went up to one of them, saying, " What have you there ?" and at the same time pulled his mask aside. The prisoner Round then placed a pistol close to his body and fired. The ball or balls entered the left side of the left thigh, and passed through into the right. The prisoner held the pistol in his right hand, and in the direction the shot was fired. He fell to the ground immediately after he was wounded. He then heard a wrestling behind, got on his knees with difficulty, and saw Bayley scuffling with Harris, who was also on the ground. The prisoner still held the pistol in his right hand, and pointed it direct to his (witness's) head. He called on Bayley to strike him, and he struck him on the right hand, and the prisoner Round seized the pistol by the left hand, and he could not wrest it from him. The pistol did not go off. H e called to Bayley, the prisoner Round endeavouring all the time to raise it to his (witness's) head. Th e pri soner Round escaped with the pistol. By Mr. PAYNTER—I can swear to the tall man, Round. He was not dressed as he is now. He had a round jacket on over a Guernsey frock. Police-constable Bayley, 150 T, corroborated the testimony of the previous witness, and stated that on the night in question he saw the two prisoners in masks, evidently made from a silk apron, and having a stiffening, with black tape to pass round the head, and fasten at the neck. After the prisoner Round had fired and wounded Earthly, he closed with Harris, who tried to pull the trigger. The pistol was loaded with two bullets. He was not positive which fired, but he thought the taller one. On search ing Harris he found a powder-canister and a piece of lead from which the bullets had been cut, and rounded in a rough and jagged manner. He also found three new silk handkerchiefs. Inspector Cooke, T division, proved he was on the ground soon after, and found a black mask, which he believed belonged to the prisoner Harris. Mr. Joseph Collard, Superintendent of the Great Western Railway police, stated that in consequence of information he received from Mr. Bashford, a member of the Great Western Company, he was directed by the directors of the Great Western Railway to assist the police, and he saw the pistol which had been found on Round. On Friday a man was given into custody for attempting to pass a brass medal for a sovereign. He went to the Paddington station and saw the prisoner. lie identitisd the pistol now shown him as being similar to the one found on Round. They were made by the same maker. He toll the prisoner he had a more serious charge to prefer against him than that of attempting to pass a medal ; it was being concerned with attempting to murder a police officer; and he said in a hasty manner, "Do they say I did it; is he dead ? " Mr. Collard then told him the police -sergeant was not dead. 'Witness afterwards brought the prisoner to this court, he being sent by the magistrate at Marylebone Court. On the way he said he knew nothing about the pistol or the case. From the neck of the prisoner be took the silk hand kerchief he produced. It corresponded with three others found o❑ the other prisoner. Sergeant Lees, of the Great-Western police, proved that about half-past eight o'clock on Friday morning last the prisoner was going to Southall, when he offered a medal for a half-sovereign, and was given into his custody. He found a pistol on him ; it was loaded with two bullets. Dr. Henry Day said he resided at Acton. He was called in to attend a wound in Sergeant Earthy's thigh. The bullets had passed through the limb, and a piece of cloth was discharged eight eays afterwards. They had not touched the main artery ; there were four wounds ; three in the right thigh and one in the left. The pistol must have been fired close to the body. /Clr. PAYNTER asked if the bullets had been found ? Sergeant Earthy replied they had not. Police-constable Dowling, T division, proved that he was locked up with the prisoner Round. About half-past ten o'clock he asked how the sergeant was, and if be was dead. Witness cautioned him not to say anything, but he then said, "It was his own fault be was shot. My band was knocked up at tLe time, and I did not know that the pistol was on full cock." He wished that Harris should not be accused, as he had fired the shot. He wished to see Harris before he came to that court. He thought it was of no use stopping there to defend Harris. He heard him call for him. Re loaded his pistol and went towards Ealing. He met a gentleman and demanded his money. He got some sovereigns from him. He did not tell witness how much he took. He said he had no crape on him then. He kept on walking all night, and in the morning he went to Petticoat-lane, where he bought another suit of clothes, changing his own. He also said he robbed a gentleman on Monday night, and threw his watch and guard into the canal on Tuesday. The clothes worn by the prisoner Round were pro duced, and identified by Sergeant Earthy. Mr. Edward Long stated he was a baker, living in the Uxbridge-road, Ealing. O❑ Wednesday night, the Bth ult., he left the train at Brentford, about half past nine at night. He proceeded down Drum-lane, leading from Brentford to Ealing, and had crossed a field, when a man came up to him and said, " Your money or your life." He gave him 6s. or 7s. The man held a pistol close to his cheek, threatened him again, and said, " I will search you ;" and he did so, taking four sovereigns and two half-sovereigns from his waistcoat. He said, " You can go now." A policeman afterwards came up, and he ran after him, and took a man named Mumford. He told the con stable he had made a mistake. Witness afterwards went to Brentford station. The man wore a round jacket. The prisoner Round was the man who robbed him. The prisoners were again remanded for the attend ance of Mr. Bashford ; Mr. Nicholls, the second clerk, proceeding to take the depositions for the felony. HEALTHOF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The week ending last Saturday exhibits a consi derable decrease in the mortality, compared with the amount in any of the three previous weeks of Octo ber. Lately the deaths in London have never been less than 950, and they have generally risen much above that sum, but last week they declined to 861. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1841-50 the average was 956; and if this average be raised in proportion to the greater amount of population at the present time, it will become 1,052, compared with which the last return shows a decrease of 191. The zymotic or epidemic class of diseases, though it produces more than a fourth part of the total mor tality, exhibits a decline on the preceding week, the number having fallen from 208 to 222. The cor rected average is 248. Typhus and scarlatina indi cate a slight reduction on the previous week, but they still number considerably more than any other disease in the same class ; to the former 60 fatal cases are referred, to the latter 50. Small-pox was fatal to 12 children and 5 adults; measles to 13 children, hooping-cough to 19, croup to 5, thrush to '2, cholera to 1, purpura btemorrhagica to 2, intermittent fever to 1, remittent fever to 1, infantile fever to 1, syphilis to 2, and noma, or cancrum oris, to 1. One person died of influeuz t and seven of erysipelas. With reference to a case of " malignant small-pox (14 days' duration)," it is stated that the deceased, a girl six years old, had not been vaccinated because her mother bad previously lost one of her children about six weeks after vaccination, which she blamed as the means of its death, though the real cause was inflammation of the lungs. Diarrbcaa was fatal last week to 26 children and to 8 persons of mature age. It seems to prevail at pre sent to nearly the same extent as has been u-ual in corresponding weeks of the last five years. On the 25th of October a child of three weeks died at 7, Tyssen-street, Bethnal-green, of " cholera infantum (5 days)." Oa the 30th October the son of a labourer, aged 7 years, died in the Middlesex Hospital of " otitis, fabric, scarlatina." He had been brought from 59, Castle. street East. In the same street, at No. 14, the daughter of a cooper, aged 3 years, died on the 26th of October of " hooping-cough (6 months), pneumonia (1 month.") With reference to this latter house, Mr Wallington, the registrar of Alt Souls, Marylebone, reported three weeks ago, that it was very defective in ventilation and drainage, in a dirty condition, and let out in single rooms, and that five deaths had occurred in it since the 13th of May, three of which were from scarlatina. A sixth death has now been registered as stated above, and the medical attendant in this case states that he happened to attend a delivery which took place there under the most painful circumstances many months ago, and on that occasion he forewarned the tenants of the consequences that would result from the "filthy and disgusting" con dition of the house in which they lived. Having been superintending inspector of Bilston and Darlaston in 1832, and of various metropolitan districts in 1849, he adds that a worse case of nuisance than the present never came under his observation, and that in his opinion it would fully justify the strongest measures of repression. In Hoxton Old Town, at 24, Upper John-street, three sons of a salesman, aged respectively 13 years, 11 years, and 13 months, died, two on the 29th of October, an d one on the 30th, of scarlatina, followed in one case by hydrocephalus, and in two by hydro thorax. Mr. Packer, the registrar, mentions that four deaths from scarlatina have occurred in this family within the last ten days, and that two other children are at present lying dangerously ill of the same disease. The drainage is good. Typhus and scarlatina are now very prevalent throughout tha whole of the sub-district. At 13, Woburn -mews West, a coachman, aged 34 years, died on the 31st of October of " typhus (20 days)." Mr. Yardley, the registrar of St. George's, Bloomsbury, observes that his " informant had men tioned nothing regarding the state of the premises which was likely to generate typhus, except, what is not unusual in stables, the existence of a common privy under the stairs leading from the stable to the loft, from which a very offensive smell sometimes proceeds." The wife of the deceased is now lying ill, and so far as the registrar could learn, her complaint appears to be of a typhoid character. In this return the number of deaths ascribed to phthisis is 111, which is less than the average ; from other diseases of the lungs the agg regate mortality is 105, showing a great decrease on the ordinary amount at this season, for in corresponding l w as e s e weeks stand deaths ranged from 120 to 189. In this laryn gitis and laryngismus stridulus,ew ich were fatal t o 5 children. One person died of i n temperance, nce,iik. one of destitution, des t t h iteu2ti4otnr: and 5 infants from want o f breast of October a surgery at t en dant, aged_ . 50 years, died “ in Westminster Hospita l from a dissection wound," after 10 days' illness. Erysipelas occurred 3 days before death. Note by Mr. Goodhugh, registrar of the sub-district of St. George the Martyr and St. And rew W estern (Holborn) —In the week ending Ist of November I have registered only one death in a p opu l at i on of 18,809, a fact which, indicates the he a lth y condition of the sub-district. 2he deaths re g i stered between the 19th of March and 29th of October are 185; the births during the same period 337 , showin g an excess of the latter over the former of 152. STATE OF THE WEATHER DURING TIIE PAST WEEK stinAv.—The sky was generally covered with cloud till near noon, during the afternoon the amount of cloud was variable, and at night the sky was f or th e most part overcast. loNDAy.—The sky, with slight exceptions, was covered with cloud until 9h. P.M., and it was generally clear after wards; stratus and haze. TUESDAY.—The sky was overcast throughout the day. Rain fell heavily after 9h. P.M. WEDNESDAY.—The sky, with slight exceptions, was covered with cloud throughout the day; cumuli, strati, and haze. Rain fell occasionally during the evening. THURSDAY.—One-half of the sky was covered till near noon, during the afternoon the amount of cloud was variable. and the sky was generally overcast at night ; cirrocumuli, cirrostrati, and scum. Thin rain fell occasionally during the evening. FRIDAY.—The F.ky was free from cloud until lib. A.m., three-fourths were covered generally till 6h. P.M., and ever clot afterwards; Cumuli, cirrocumuli, cirrostrati, and light Nude ONE CHILD KILLED BY ANOTHER. A singular fatality, arising out of a quarrel between two children while at school, occurred in Solly-street, Sheffield, last week. The death of a child four years of age was caused by a blow from a school-fellow little more than five years of age. The deceased, Arthur Brown, was the son of William Brown, metal smith, of Solly-street, and attended a school taught by Mrs. Castleton, a widow, residing in Wheeldon-lane. On Wednesday forenoon, about half- past eleven o'clock, Mrs. Castleton left the school-room for a few minutes, and during her absence the deceased and a child called Walter Standish quarrelled about an apple that the latter wished to take from Brown. Not succeed ing in getting the apple, Standish spat in Brown's face, and Brown did the same to Standish, when the latter struck him with his fist once or twice in the pit of the stomach. • The poor little fellow complained of great pain, and he was sent home. Mr. J. Harmer Smith surgeon, was sent for almost directly, but in spite of the most active treatment he died on Saturday. On Tuesday last an inquest was held on view of the body of the deceased, before Mr. T. Badger, coroner, at the house of Mr. Wragg, the White Horse Inn, Solly street, when the above facts were detailed in evidence. Mr. Smith had a post mortent examination, and the result proved that the child died from inflamma' tion of the right pleura and lung. That inflammation Mr. Smith said be had no doubt had been caused by blows on the pit of the stomach. The coroner then explained that withi❑ the age of seven years no infant can be guilty of felony or be punished for any capital offence, for within that age he cannot, by pre sumption of law, be endowed with any discretion, against which presumption no averment shall be re ceived. The jury therefore returned the following verdict :—" That the said Walter Standish being an infant under the age of discretion, to wit, of the age of five, not being capable of discerning good from evil, did kill and slay Arthur Brown, but not feloniously." The coroner then addressed a few words to the child Standish, teaching him in the spirit of the lines by Watts— " But, children, you should never let Such angry passions rise ; Your little hands were never made To tear each other's eyes." The child, a ho is a strong, heavy lad of his age, replied, "He struck me first." He appeared thoughtful, but not sorrowful. VIVIAN AT THE BLOOMER BALL. (From the Leader.) For a fiasco complete, extravagant, unredeemed and unredeemable, for the perfect frustration of all expectations, the Bloomer Ball given on Wed nesday at the Hanover-rooms, transcends all my experience. Palmam qui meruit ferat : let merit carry off the palm, and the greatest of failures sinks abashed before this! The amount of excited curiosity may be estimated by the fact that quite early in the evening the rooms were crowded with notabilities. Mixed up with a name less fashionable mob, there were a German Duke, one of the editors of a great morning journal, a Par liamentary Poet, the " handsomest man in Europe." an old beau of the peerage, a famous but fading baronet, Punch, several artists, certain peers, many blackguards, and such a tohu bohu as Kossuth him self could not gather together. But no women! What came the crowd to see ? A Bloomer shaken in the waltz ! Fifty Bloomers, a hundred Bloomers— women young, daring, pleasure-loving, radient in new and piquant costumes, saucy with the insolence of fascination, delirious with excitement, civilized Menads, not irreproachable in morals. That is what the crowd come to see, thinking that the lights, the music, the hum of voices, the bright glances of eyes flashing up from their languor, and the very air infected with gaiety, would form a fitting accom paniment to the New Costume, which was henceforth to invest the person of the " emancipated mind." That and nothing else. 'What did they see? A few, very few women of that class which it makes the heart ache to think of, in finery as poor and faded as their own unhappy lives. How shall I describe my disappointment? At an hour when the bed candle is usually admitted, I closed one of the wisest books that was ever writ ten, and left that study where the good and great keep serene empire, to dress myself for this Bloomer Ball, of which I had heard so much, What visions of lovely women lured me forth! what syren voices called to me from the deeps ! what made me anxious to be there, I am ashamed to think of ! Enough, I went. A mob had collected in Hanover.. square ; and through this yelling mob, intolerant of innovation, loving a riot, and not fastidious in the selection of language, the cab made difficult way. Many Bloomers were discouraged, and turned back frightened. If it required some courage to adopt the costume, it required heroism to run the gauntlet of that mob's derision, which might at any moment end in violence. Many, therefore, turned back. When I en tered the room there were not a dozen Bloomers pre sent ; and such Bloomers !—ye gods, such Guys Two or three " emancipated minds," with persons endowed, I am willing to believe, with great " beauty oe about,vf i i d n e t n el th l l e ya c r t," b the dhae and d ut t priestessesri otherwise umphla onft t not hl prepossessing—these The new oth ers were oof creed—walked that class which no man can think of seriously without ineffable sadness, and of them this pen shall write no word heaspprooazcehning womento r were scattered scattered through the rooms crowded with men, who jeered, leered, and cheered them as they danced. I told you of the mob outside. The mob inside was as brutal, only better dressed, and wearing moustachios for the most part. Had the Bloomers been monkeys exhibiting for money, the men would have behaved more politely I It was no doubt a painfully grotesque sight, that of the Bloomer Quadrille : women aged in their youth, with a look at once faded and bold, dressed like the actress of a sttolling company, intensely conscious of - till near , n tz ,,a r r a i t ) ) o A o ir n . , —The skT ---- was generally covered with c . l .h . v ; strati and an ie ( o l • E - w eek.
