The Kolner Ze itun g states from Copenhagen, of ltke, the 11th inst., tha 4 the Ministers, W. Moltke, K. Mo and Reedtz have resigned, and that the King has ac cepted their resignation. The Cabinet is consQquently dissolvd and another crisis has began. The most coal tradictory rumours are afloat respecting the for mation of another Cabinet, hut it appears certain that either M. Tillisch or Count Sponnek will receive the "King's commands for that purpose. ITALY. At the last Secret Consistory held by the Pope an opinion was expressed that the very fatal errors of Socialism and Communism have been fomented in a great measure by the laws enacted by various States on the subject of ec clesiastical property. Th e Corriere-Mercantile of Gneoa of the 1 lth replies to t hi s assertion by saying, that the first Communists we re the dr . eters of the Catholic Church who wrote I 7ainst receiving i nterest for tha loan of mone y , and • the founders of monastic institutions who preached th e doctrine of producing little and consuming less, because they regarded the possession of property as a crime. ROY AL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. At no period have the varied lectures been more a t tractive or instructive, and the crowded audiences ( l ut ing the season prove how deservedly popular this admirable institution is viewed by the public, and the succes,:ive visitors aA3,ear, from week to week, ad vancing in the intelligence and interest with which they attend them. This, of course, must in some measure be ac counted for by the acknowledged improvement of the public discernment in the appreciation of the more refined taste of intelligence in the advancement of ecience and manufacture. Tae popular style of lecturing, so well known to our ?or of and an admirably carried out by the profes sors of the establishment, is deserving of the highest ex:dog:um we can pronounce, the discourses being given by Dr. Rachhoffner and Mr. J. H. Pepper in so distinct and simple a style that the most abstruse science is rendered clear and intelligible to the meanest capcity. The prinelpal subject of Dr. B ac hhoffner's pre sent series of lectures on the deposits of the Great Exhibition, are the electro-metallic deposits, illus trated by numerous beautiful experiments on the while his coadjutor is engaged al of electro-plating , in describing the application of steel and iron in the mar of the U v nited Kingdom. In addition thy' above, we may mention the vast improvements lately discovered by Mr. Beard, jun , in the beautiful art of photography, which has been brought to such a degree of perfection, as to be equal to a fine enamel; so completely is t he colour hardened and preserved by the new preparation, that it will bear the effect of the atmosphere without a glass ; and even rubbing will not affect the appearance of the picture, which, until lately would wholly destroy a daguerreotype im pression.

This exraordinary case excites greater interest daily, both in Bath and Bristol. On Monday A. H. English, Esq., coroner for Bath, with a jury com posed of highly respectable tradesmen, commenced his inquest ❑pon the body of the child who, as stated in Monday's Sun, died on Saturday last, at the Ses sions Court of the Guildhall, but as a post mortem examination and analysis of the contents of the stomach were necessary, the jury, after viewing the body, considered that it was not desirable to enter further upon the case until the medical evidence was ready, and the inquiry was therefore adjourned until Wednesday morning. The inquest was resumed at nine o'clock on Wednesday morning. The prisoner being in the custody of the magistrates wai not present, but Mr. Crosby was in attendance and took notes of the evi dence. W. llerapatts, Feel , analytical chemist, of Bristol, having repeated his evidence before the magistrates, then deposed to his analysis of the contents of the stomach :—On Monday I received a prepared teat, but found no erEenic in it. lam not quite satisfied with my analpis of the borax and honey, as the usual mode of analysis is inapplicable to that substance, and I have been too busily engaged since with the body to return to it. On Monday, the 13th inst., I at tended a:, Mr. Searle's, and witnessed a post mortem examination upon the body of a female infant child, Rho* months old. The body was much emaciated, and countenance exhibited extreme anxiousness; the eye were deeply sunk. On the lower part of the bodyc l the buttocks, there was an extensive red miliary eruptionesomething like the measles when very strong. This is IDi appearance found upon the body of persons dying of arsenic, after it has been received into the system several days. There was also a large boil, or pustule, on the groin, which had been discharging pus. The stomach and intestines were opened in my pre 3?ncia The whole starfa;:e of the stomach was gela tinised. It was so tender it would break into a hole on the slightest touch, and there was a large ulcer on the interior small curvature, nearly half an inch in diameter, from which the mucous surface was en tirely gone. O n t h e intestines being opened ed from below upwards, all th e intestines, from the coeval valve, were cov ere d w i t h the same earnuupstiotno which I found upon th e ex t erna l skin. It was ex actly as though red-hot spots of sand had been dropped upon the surface. This appearance decreased up wards. There were some of the same appearance iu the glands above the valve, but less in quantity. The who l e o f the abdominal viscera were removed for in my presen ce, exce p t the kidne y s, womb, an d blad der, and I had cut out for me the small pustule in the groin. I put them all in bottles, and took them with me to Bristol. I should have said also that there was an ulcer in the ccecal valve, and a redness in the upp er part of the cesophegus. On subjecting the liver and in testines i to analysis I discovered in them small but un doubted traces of arsenic.

NORTHAMPTON, TUESDAY. —An elderly woman, named Pinkhard, wife of a small farmer . at Tbrupp G roun ds, near Daventry , ha s been committed for trial at the next assizes on the charge of murdering rer m other-in-law, under circumstanccold-es of the most v deli itro- ! cious character , indeed, a more blooded, berate act of murder has not come before the public for some time, the apparent motive for perpetrating the deed being the obtainment of a legacy of 1,0001., upon the interest of which the deceased and her aged husband were partly maintained. The facts, as elicited before Mr. Hicks, the district coroner, after two days' searching in vestigation, furnish the following details of the horrible affair :—The unfortunate victim, whose name w ar s o Pinkhard, was upwards of 60 years of sge, and, as before stated, was the mother-in-law of the accused, lived with her husband in a lonely cottage, on the Long Buckley-road, about a mile from Daventry. They resided alone in the cottage, and with the interest of the legacy, and some slight trading which the old man did at the local markets, they maintained themselves in a very re spectable way. They lived most happily together. The deceased hid excellent health, and, although ad vanced in life, was unusually active in her habits. The accused is a woman of rather masculine deport ment, and is also up in years—being nearly 50. Her husband, John Mutton Pinkhard, held a small farm near Daventry, and being the only issue of the de ceased's marriage, would come into possession of the legacy at her death. It had been left her by an uncle after whom the husband of the prisoner had been named, and who had devised that it should be distri buted amongst her children at her death. Pinkhard, jun., being the only child, therefore the whole amount would fall to him. On the morning of Friday, the 3d instant, between nine and ten o'clock, old Mr. Pinkhard, the husband of the deceased, left home for the purpose of going to Daventry well-known cattlee and cheese fair, taking with him a horse for The deceased when he q uitted was in her usual good state of health, and the re was nothing like depression of spirits about her. Indeed, it was observed that she was more cheerful than otherwise. They had no words together, a nd nothing transpired that would tend to excite her, and induce her to commit suicide. any previous arra n g e m ent or not we are unableW h e t h toe r by say , but the son accompanied the father to the fair, and continue d with hint the whole day and up to the ' period of lea rnin g of the death of his parent. Late in the afternoon of the same day a man named Bird happened to pass the cottage with a horse which he was drivi n g to a neighbouring meadow, and seeing the door open he thought of going in and seeing how the old lady was, with whom he was acquainted. On entering, his astonishment may be imagined on finding the unfortunate creature in a sitting posture on the floor, in one corner of the front parlour, with a piece of something like tape secured round her neck, the end of which had been fastened to a hook in the wall. She appeared to be quite dead. Bird immediately called in the aid of several neighbours, and it would seem that the first glance at the deceased led them to believe that she had com mitted self-destruction. A subsequent and more minute examination was made. The piece of tape which was found round the neck was not more than a yard and a half in length, and of the description usually used for apron strings ; and although its somewhat slight texture, and the peculiar manner in which it had been attached to the hook, excited some suspicion, yet it was imagined that she could have effected her strangulation by placing herself in the position in which she was dis covered. The old man at length returned home, and expressed his decided opinion that his wife had not committed the act herself, but that she had been mur dered. He searched over the house, but could not find that anything had been carried away. Some spots or smears of blood on the floor, and other marks on the wall, prompted more inquiries, and the body was subjected to a close examination by Mr. Sharman, surgeon, Mr. Marsh, of North ampton, and Dr. Watts, of Daventry. They per ceived marks of violence, as if from blows, on the arms and thighs, and other appearances indicated that she had been engaged in a severe struggle just before death. There were also signs of blows on the forehead, and the lacerated appearance of the throat, caused by the tight manner in which the tape had been drawn, showed the force that had been used, and which it appears could not have been produced in the position she was discovered. The in ference was that she had been first strangled on the floor, and then hung up to the hook in the wall, in order to favour the impression that she had committed self-destruction. Medical testimony was adduced to show that it was impossible for the deceased to have done the act herself. A variety of circumstances tended to fix consider able suspicion upon the wife of the son, and eventu ally she was arrested by the police on the charge of being concerned in the murder of the old lady. Two labourers who were working on the road near the cottage spoke of seeing a woman coming from the Buckley line of road, and entering the deceased's place. That was about a quarter past ten in the morn ing. They heard some loud talking in the house, and the woman left shortly after eleven, after walking up and down the road to see whether she was being watched. A labourer of the name of Hadland, employed at the younger Pinkhard's farm at Thrupps-ground de posed to his mistress leaving home just before ten on the morning in question, and proceeding in the direc tion of Daventry and the deceased's cottage. He saw her return in the same direction about a quarter to twelve o'clock, and he noticed that her gown was torn out at the gathers. She remarked that she had done it while gathering blackberries. Hadland was in the way when a labourer named Letts came and informed her that her mother-in-law was dead, and had been found hanging. She appeared much alarmed, and nearly fainted, and observed, " God bless you, my dear; don't you leave me this night." It also seemed that the female servant went out just betore ten to get some bread, at the accused's direc tion, and when she returned the girl also noticed her mistress's dress torn. On the violent character of the death of the deceased being evident, Mr. Shar man waited upon the prisoner, and expressed his be lief that her mother-in-law had been murdered. She replied that she was quite satisfied that that was so. He inquired of her whether she had any suspician of any one. She answered that she bad no reason to suspect any one, as the deceased was a quiet peaceable woman. There were many other circumstances elicited in respect of the move ments cf the prisoner on the morning the murder was committed; and Reynolds, a police officer, spoke positively of seeing her just inside of the door of the deceased's cottage about twenty minutes past eleven o'clock on the Friday morning. It transpired that Pinkhard the 3 ()linger was considerably in arrear with his rent, and that since the arrest of his wife an execution had been placed on the farm. This perhaps may furnish a reason for procuring the value of the legacy. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against Elizabeth Pinkhard, and, as before stated, the wretched woman was duly com mitted on the coroner's warrant for trial at the spring assizes. She is considerably older than her husband. ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE The Rev. T. B.

(Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD IN RE ARLISS AND TUCKER. The bankrupts were described as Henry Mowbray Arliss and Elijah Tucker, of 15, Frith•btreet, Soho, printers. This was a certificate meeting. The balance-sheet showed the following items : Creditors, 1,1071.; bill of sale, 2181. Liabilities, viz. —on joint acceptances given on separate debts oi H. M. Arliss, 438/. ; profits, 847/. ; liquidation of estate of H. M. Arliss, 831. ; debtors, good, 1541. ; doubtful, 37/. ; property estimated to realise 267/. ; property held under bill of sale, 368/. • losses, 2161. ; trade expenses, 4 25 /. ; amount drawn by Arliss, 3001.; Tucker, 271/. ; liabilities per contra, 4381. Mr. Nicholson appeared for the assignees, Mr. Lowrance for the bankrupts. Mr. LAWRANCE said, the bankrupts had offere , 203. in the pound, but one creditor stood out, and the n the bankrupts petitioned for this adjudication, wi th the consent of their creditors. The COMMISSIONER asked how they could have paid 203. in the pound ? Mr. LAWRANCE said, it was a business that de pended upon personal exertions, and as the debts w ere only 1,1001. the bankrupts had hoped to get round, and that was the opinion of many of the creditors. They were here now rather than give any creditor a preference. Mr. NICHOLSON did not offer any opposition. His HONOUR granted an immediate certificate of the second class. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Charlull:Thrum and Thomas Blowes, two cabmen who were committed from this court on Ssturday last, for fourteen days, for attempting to steal a gold watch from the person of Mr. Charles Watson, of 59, London-wall, were agai❑ brought up in the custody of Springate, the gaoler, and placed at the bar, before Alderman Sir Robert Walter Carden. The case was substantially reheard, and, after a very long inquiry, Sir R. W. CARDEN said, with regard to the men at the bar, I see nothing at all against the character of either of them. I only regret that they have been placed there innocently. lam quite sure that they will acquit me of all blame in committing them, for Mr. Watson's bearing was such, and his evidence was given in such an apparently straightforward manner, that I was bound to convict. I am now induced to alter my former opinion. I shall take immediate steps to procure the liberation of those two innocent men, and in the meantime I will consider what fur ther proceedings ought to be taken with regard to Mr. Watson. WESTMINSTER. Yesterday William Burgess, a young man respect ably connected, was placed at the bar before Mr. Ar nold, charged with receiving a large quantity of tim ber from Mr. Druce, coal and timber merchant, Queen's-road, Westminster, under the representation that it was obtained for his father. Joseph Hyde, foreman to the prosecutor, said that in the early part of the spring of this year the father of the prisoner was supplied with a quantity of coals. On the 4th of April last the prisoner applied in the name of his father to have a lot of timber sent to him. Witness took the prisoner into the office where he saw Mr. Druce, who allowed him to open the account for the timber. Mr. ARNOLD—What quantity of timber was sup plied to him ? Witness—He had various loads from time to time. Mr. ARNOLD—Was he supplied on the faith and belief all the time that the goods were for his father ? Witness—He was, Sir ; he has received goods to the amount of 52/. 12s. Mr. ARNOLD—Were any of the goods sent to his father ? Witness—No, your Worship. The agent to the prosecutor said that on Tuesday application was made to the prisoner's father for some money, when it was found that he had not given any orders. Mr. Herbert S. P. Burgess, the prisoner's father, No. 1, Sloane•`quare, stated that he was formerly a coachmaker, but had retired from business. He never authorised his son to get goods from Mr. Druce. Mr. AalloLD—Was ever any application made to you for money ? Witness—Never, Sir. I never had the least idea that my son was obtaining goods from Mr. Druce. On Tuesday night I first heard of the case. Mr. ARNOLD—Has the prisoner been applied to for money since it was ascertained that the father had given no order?—The agent replied that he had not. The prisoner was remanded. THAMES. George Newsome, a tall man, a labourer, aged 26, of No. 10, Kirk's-row Rhodeswell-road, Limehouse, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with as saulting police-constable Abbott, 118 K, in the execu tion of his duty. The prisoner appeared to have bled profusely from a wound on the top of his head, and his hair was matted with blood. The policeman stated, that between the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock that morning he saw the prisoner seated on the steps of a door in Kirk's-row, and, finding he was fast asleep, he aroused him, and told him to get up. The prisoner had no sooner done so than he used vituperative language, and knocked him down with his fist. Hegot up again and grappled with the prisoner, who struck him several times, and, in a struggle which took place, tore his (the policeman's) coat. After a good deal f up and down fighting, he secured the prisoner. . The prisoner, in defence, said the case was just this : —He was seated at his own door, and the policeman pulled him up, seized him by the collar, and pushed him and struck him. He asked him what he did that for, and he seized the policeman in return. They both fell, and the policeman struck him a violent blow on the head with his truncheon and wounded him. The constable also struck him a second time on the arm. Mr. YARDLEY asked the policeman, if he used his truncheon ? Abbot replied in the affirmative. He hit the prisoner on the arm with it. Mr. YARDLEY—Why did you not mention that before ? The policeman—l didn't know. Mr. YARDLEY—You do know. You are sworn to speak " the truth, the whole truth, and nothing Paid. Price. but the truth ;" not part . of the truth. You should --- withhold nothing. The prisoner—He hit me on the head. I lost a 3i quart of blood. See what a state my head is in. Mr. YARDLEY—You hear what he says, constable ? Abbott—l did strike him on the head while aiming ,% at his arm Mr. YARDLEY—You ought to have mentioned that . before. Did you strike him before or after you were knocked down ? Abbott—After I was knocked down, Sir. Inspector Bell, of the K division, and Roche, the gaoler, were directed to look at the prisoner's head, and they said there was a wound on it half an inch in length. Mr. YARDLEY said the prisoner bad brought the blow upon himself. The constable did not give his 00. evidence in a very satisfactory way, which was, per haps, accounted for by his being young in the force; but be denied positively striking a blow until after he ) 1 was knocked down and his coat was torn. If a po ,. liceman was knocked down, he was justified in using his staff; they were given to the police for that pur pose, although it was highly desirable that staves should not be used by policemen if it was possible to avoid it. William Muskett, a carpenter, was then called for I X the defence, and said that he lived in the same house as the prisoner. He heard a noise in the street, and r,31 his wife said, "There is George come home." He 0 1 looked out of the window and saw the policeman, who N had hold of the prisoner by the collar. The prisoner 15 ' said " Let me go," and tried to get away, on which 2s. 1% the policeman draw his cutlass from the scabbard, and bs made a blow at the prisoner with it. The blow did not oa take effect, and the policeman returned the cutlass to the r sheath, took his truncheon from his pocket, and struck Gd the prisoner on the head. The blow could have been 6 , heard a great distance. The prisoner fell, and the policeman tried to pick him up again, and in doing so Newsome laid hold of the other's coat, and being a heavy man his weight tore it. Mr. YARDLEY—A cutlass ? Had the policeman a cutlass ? The policeman said be was armed with a cutlass. It partially came out of the scabbard as he fell down. It was not out altogether. " I fell down," continued the policeman, "he on the top of me, then I on the top of him." Muskett was recalled—Tke cutlass was actually drawn out, and the policeman made a cut at New some. lam quite certain of it, your Worship. Mr. YARDLEY—If the policeman has drawn a cut lass in such a case as this he ought not to be entrusted with one. The witness Muskett has given his evi dence in a way entitling him to credit, and the police constable has given his testimony in a most unsatis factory manner. lam not satisfied with the constable at all. The prisoner is discharged. The case requires further investigation. Inspector Bell—Yes, Sir; an investigation shall be made. HUMANE INVENTIONS. — An experiment was on Saturday made, in presence of M. Lanquetin, President of the Municipal Commission of Paris; of M. Durand, Inspec tor-General of the Markets; and M. Lescuyot, chief of the syndicate of the butchers, of a new vehicle for conveying calves. This vehicle, which can be drawn by one horse, is so contrived that twelve calves, weighing on an average 2801bs. each, can have a separate cell, in which each can lie down or stand as in a stable. The inventor of the cart is M. Fuyz, and the adoption of it will lead to the annihilation of the present horrible system of c onveyance, in which the poor animals are carried with their head s hanging over the sides of the cart.—Gedignani. Father Gavazzi and Dr. Achilli purpose taking a tour through England and Scotland, in advocacy of Italian reform. ROBBERY AND ATTEMPT TO SHOOT A POLICEMAN. 'We, scarcely remember an instance in which we have been called upon to record a more flagrant out rage than was committed on the night of Saturday last; in the midst of one of the greatest thoroughfares of I.' lymouth. Lawrence Rooney, an itinerant men der of broken glass, spectacle frames, &c., was wend trig her way homeward, about the hour of twelve at r eight, when the box which he carried at his back, and which was very similar in appearance to that used by travelling jewellers, arrested the attention of two soldiers belonging to the 19th Regiment, named Revell and Grimes. The first mentioned, after endeavour ing to possess himself of the box in Bedford-street, followed Rooney to the corner of the post-office, where he knocked him down, and then ran off with his prize. The outrage did not, however, pass un observed, chase was given, and Revell having thrown away the box, but still finding himself hard pressed by a policeman, drew forth a pistol (subsequently found to have been loaded), and threatened to shoot the officer, who, however, nothing daunted, knocked the pistol aside, and succeeded iu capturing the ruf fian. The name of the other soldier, who made his escape when the robbery was committed, having been obtained, both were, on Monday, brought up in cus tody before the magistrates sitting at Guildhall, and were remanded until Thursday. Mr. Jeffery, Lockyer-terrace, Union-road, was the first witness. He said the prisoners came to my shop and asked for some caps, shot, and gunpowder. I sold them ld. worth of each; they told me they wanted it for a pistol ; described the pistol as a large one. Samuel Heiwken—Ou Saturday night the prisoners came into his uncle's beer-shop, and had a pint of beer, and one of them asked where there was a gunsmith's shop; the other said they wanted four caps and some shot; and he directed them to Jeffery's. Saw no pistol. Lawrence Rooney—l am a glass grinder, spectacle maker, &c. About twelve o'clock on the night of Saturday last, the 4th, I was walking up King street towards the Pos::-office, carrying my box, hang to my shoulder by a strap. The box was closed but not locked. I first met the prisoners o❑ the other side of the Woodman. I was walking very fast and overtook the prisoners, dressed as soldiers. I wished them good night as I passed, and one of them replied in the same words. I walked on through Frankfort-street and Bedford-street, with out talking. They kept close by my side until we got near the Bedford Inn, in Bedford-street, when one of them got hold of my box and gave it two or three twitches, trying to pull it off my shoulder. I tried to keep it, and said, " Holloa, what are you about ?" Neither of them made any answer, and I had not spoken to them, nor they to me, except what I have stated. When it was pulled I got off the pave ment into the street, and walked on towards the post-office. They stopped on the pavement walking after me until I came to Morrish's corner. I lost sight of them and walked as fast as I could home through Whimple-street, until I was in front of the post office, which is about 40 yards from the corner where I missed them; I was then knocked down by one of them, I cannot say which, and my box was taken from my shoulder by Revell immediately after I re ceived the blow, and he ran down St. Andrew-street. I did not see the other soldier until after I had passed the corner. I was tripped up from behind, and a blow on the back of my head either with the fist or flat hand. As soon as I got up I shouted " stop thief," and followed him down St. Andrew-street, shouting as I ran. When I got down to the bottom, through Notte -street, and against Messrs. Scott's brewery, in Hoe Gate-street, I saw police-officer Croker, and the prisoner Revell scuffling on the ground. At the bottom of St. Andrew-street I met Leeworthy, who gave me the box. I saw the police man endeavouring to wrest a pistol from Revell, and Croker got it from him and fired it off in the air. Prisoner was brought to the station-house by the police. I took the box home, and in the course of the night police-constable Colton came for it, and it is the same now produced. The box was made for carrying jewellery. Police-constable John Croker—l was coming up St. Andrew-street on the night of Saturday last, shortly after twelve, and met Revell running down the street from the direction of the post-office, and heard somebody from the top of the street shout" Stop him !" I put out my foot as he passed to trip him up, but I did not, and as he passed on I observed a box on his left shoulder. I ran after him. At the bottom of St. Andrew-street he threw the box over his head. At this time I was about four or five yards from him. The box was thrown towards me. I did not stop. Saw Leaworthy close by when he threw it back. Prisoner ran through Notte-street, and turned up Hoe Gate-street. Near Messrs. Scott's brewery he turned round and said, "If you come near me I'll blow your brains out," at the same time presenting a pistol. (The pistol was here produced—a very large one, with a cap lock, and was marked " B. 0," and is one usually carried by preventive officers.) I ran to him, and caught the pistol by the barrel with the left hand, and the prisoner with the right hand. I got him down, and a man came to my assistance, and knelt on his breast while I got it away, and when I did so I full cocked it, and fired it off in the air. While we were struggling, he took it away once, but I immediately got hold of it again. With the assistance of two or three persons, I carried him to the station, and while there he collared me again, and Colton collared him. While there, he gave his name Thos. Brown. The prisoners were then fully committed for trial at the next assizes at Exeter. Two officers of the 19th Regiment were in at tendance to watch the proceedings. The ball was densely crowded during the examina tion.—Plymouth Herald. STAR PACKET COMPANY. The annual general meeting of the proprietors of this company was held yesterday in the large room of the Clarendon Hotel, Gravesend. JAMES HARMER. Esq., of Ingress Abbey, chairman of the board of directors, having taken the chair, called upon Mr. Dobson, secretary to the company, to read the auditors' report, which, the chairman added, would preclude the necessity of his making any observations on the condition of the company's affairs for the season just terminated, as it would speak for itself. The report of the auditors, as read by Mr. Dobson, the secretary, was to the effect that the gross receipts of the year ending the 30th September, 1851, to gether with a balance in hand from 1850, amounted to 22,424/. 133., the gross expenditure, 19,0011.134.2 d., leaving a balance in favour of the company of 3,422/.193. 103. That out of thatbalance 1,4081.13. 3 . 2 d. had been paid to Messrs. Miller and B. avenshill in liquidation of their claim; and that a net balance of 2,0141. Gs. Bd. remained to be applied to tne pay ment of a dividend and the liquidation of the last in stalment of the cost of the Jupiter. This announce ment having been received with applause, the secre tary then read the directors' report, recommending the payment of a dividend of 5 per cent., which would leave a large balance, part of which they recom mended to be applied to the payment of the last in stalment for the cost of the Jupiter. It further stated that the Star boats had, in the five months of May, June, July, August, and September, conveyed 873,000 passengers, exclusive of the season tickets and of those to and from the piers between Blackwall and Gravesend ; that but for the uncalled-for reduc tion of the fares from 9d. and ls. to 6d. and 93. there would have been a much larger balance to the credit of the company, but that still a large balance was ap plicable to the dividend proposed, and to other pur poses to be decided on by the proprietors.—(Cheers.) The reports were adopted by acclamation ; the directors, auditors, and other officers of the past year re-elected ; thanks voted with equal acclamation to the chairman ; and the meeting separated in high spirits at the prosperous condition of the company. - - THE CHIEF MAGISTRACY OF EDINBURGH. —A very warm contest is proceeding in Edinburgh, for the distin guished post of the chief magistrate of the capital of Scot land. In addition to Mr. Macfarlan and Mr. M‘Laren, who have been before the town council as candidates for some time, Mr. Grainger, civil engineer, and president of the Royal Scottish Society of Arts, has been brought forward. " We have thus," says the Cr , edonian Mercury, " three gentlemen aspiring to the first municipal dignity, and all highly respected citizens, who have previously borne a part in public affairs. Mr. Macfarlan and Mr. M'Laren can each point to a long career of public service. Mr. Grainger, also, is no exception in this respect, for he has been in the town council, and also for the long period of seventeen years in the improvements commission, in the affairs of which body he bore an active and very efficient share. Mr. Grainger will be a formidable competitor for the office of Lord Pro vost, and we dare say, if he had started at the outset, his chances of success would have been all but certain. That he is well qualified for the office there is ut one opinion, and the same may be said of Mr. Msc but one opinion, and the same may be said of Mr. Macfarlan and Mr. Dl'Laren, for they are all veterans in our municipal annals, having been each returned to the first town council that as sembled under the Burgh Reform Act in 1833. The three candidates have been consistent in their Liberal opinions, sad they all take their stand in supporting the scheme of the town council for the equitable adjustment of the annuity-tax. This is an important fact, and proves, whatever may be the issue of the present municipal contest, that the citizens are singularly unanimous on the annuity-tax question. It is possible, though not very probable, that a fourth candidate for the chief magistracy may yet appear." SUITORS IN COUNTY COURTS.— An interesting re turn, and one of general importance, respecting the ex penses of actions in County Courts, was printed among the papers ordered by the House of Lords. It will be seen that considerable fees can be saved by suitors agreeing without a public hearing. The costs of an ordinary defended action, for any amount between 201. and 01., are 6/ lls. Bd.; for any action not exceeding 11. the costs are 6s. 4d. ; above 21. and not exceeding 201., the expense is 3s 7d. in the pound. About half only of the causes in which plaints are entered are tried, and by that means the suitors in cases between 20/. and 50/. save the hearing fee of 21. 3e. 4d., and the bailiff's tee of ls. Bd., together 2/. bs., thereby reducing the costs to 11.65. Bd. In any case where a counsel or an attorney is employed, the above costs do not include the costs of witnesses. In no case under 51. are the costs of co:m sel or attorneys allowed. Thus it will be seen that parties, by arranging as to terms, and profiting, by the hint can ruttlitaly leegoq tho OXPeiIZeN.

HEALTH OF LONDON DUREvG TPE WEEK (From the Registrar-General's Report.) Nine hundred and fifty-three deaths were regis tered in London in the week ending last Saturday. The average of ten corresponding weeks in 1841-50 was 922 ; but as population increased during the ten years and up to the present time, the average, to be rendered comparable with last week's mortality, must be raised in proportion to the increase. The average thus corrected may be stated as 1,014, on which the deaths of last week show a decrease of 61. The zymotic or epidemic class of diseases produced 242 deaths, or more than a fourth of the total amount, while the corrected average is 278. The number of fatal cases ascribed to small-pox is 18, all of which occurred to children, and in none is it stated that the patients had been previously vaccinated. The neglect of vaccination is repeatedly noticed by the registrars, and their observations on this subject deserve atten tion. In North St. Giles, at 21, Lumber -court, the daughter of a butcher, aged 3 years, died of small-pox after nine days' illness. Mr. Simpson remarks, that " this is the second death within a week from small pox in this family, a brother aged six years having died of the disease. In neither case bad vaccination been performed, the general adoption of which is loudly called for in poor and over-crowded districts, where so many fatal cases occur, owing to the epidemic diffusion of the disease, as well as a greater degree of susceptibility." I n Haggerstone West, at 75, York-street, the son of a bricklayer, egt-d 2 years, died of "confluent small-pox (10 days)." This (Mr. Bowring adds) furnishes another example of prejudice. Four months ago I requested the parents to vaccinate their chil dren, as small-pox was in the neighbourhood, but they did not consent. The following is from a letter of the medical attendant of the above case : " On the 20th of last month I attended a girl, aged 8 years, for an attack of small-pox, and was informed by her mother that there were two of her children who had not been vaccinated. I requested her to al low ma to vieeillate thorn but could not prevail, al- ,01; though I warned her of the consequence. Theaterfog is the death of one, and the other is now teu e Lle i from the premonitory symptoms of the disease, Y._ I have no doubt will terminate fatally. Sincelges!;, pointment to this district I have frequently esqt enced great opposition from parents to hsre _ IP , o f children vaccinated, and without the enactoleutio some stringent measure to compel parents and c , t o to submit, there is no chance of getting rid °' loathsome disease." ts i lli In South St. Giles, at 9, Great Eatltree 0 daughter of a lawyer's clerk deceased, aged 4 .Y 0, died of small-pox, without medical attendant. 1.0 Faulkner mentions that " this child has never i vaccinated. The mother had applied to a irneelio : n o man, who refused to attend, as be said 'ge e " r , was contagious and he might take it. 1 00 . 0 Amongst epidemics it is evident that dea r l. t l as making progress. In the last week of Augtio_ a l ee kii fatal in only 20 cases ; since that period the w rin d to numbers have run thus :-29, 27, 41, 41, 481 6 lip last week 55. In All Souls, Marylebooe, 060.
