We are glad to find that the National Associa tion for the Promotion of Social Science is giving its attention to matters of practical importance. Undoubtedly it is part of the office of such an asso ciation to examine into the merits of new and un tried theories, to discuss the possibility of fresh schemes, and to bring to light those speculations which amateur social philosophers habitually in dulge in. But if the association went no further than this, its action would be too visionary to tend • much towards the progress of social science. llow ever desirable it may be to afford all the workers • and thinkers in the good cause of social reform and advancement an opportunity of coming before the public, it is equally necessary that the minutes of the annual meeting should be able to show some substantial knowledge gained, some solid facts enunciated or classified, some statistics placed ready for the consideration of the legislator or the • statesman, some remote information brought down to the popular level. In this aspect the " Health" section of the National Association is one of its ' most valuable departments, and the more the in formation which its leaders gather becomes fami liar to the masses the better chance we shall have of actual sanitary reform. The address of Dr. RUMSEY, President of the Health Section, on Mon day, was listened to with deep attention by a nu merous audience ; since his arguments by no means followed in the beaten track, we may hope that new light was thrown by his agency upon many points whose importance is too often overlooked. Dr. RUMSEY is not one of those reformers who are so well satisfied with the achievements of the past that they propose to " rest and be thankful" for the future. On the contrary though acknowledging many improvements, he is inclined to regard some of our boasted achievements as matters of regret rather than of rejoicing. The reckless poisoning of our waters by the distribution of sewage into them has been, he considers, a great and lasting mistake. Within the last thirty years, he said, almost all the water courses of the land have been incorrigibly defiled, and even convertel into distri butors of disease by means of town sewage con trived hastily and executed unscientifically. " The effete products of manufactures and trades, the animal and vegetable debris of towns, mineral de tritus, all that comes under Lord PALMERSTON'S celebrated definition of " matter in the wrong place," was to be got out of the way by water car riage, which was assumed, not without reason, to be the most expeditious and economical mechanical power for the purpose. The result of this remark able movement is, however, that communities have had to encounter a more gigantic difficulty than at the very beginning of sanitary reform." Many perplexities and losses have followed from this course, beginning with the destruction of the fish in the river, and ending with the difficulty of obtaining pure water. The importance of an effi cient water supply is at least a matter of which no educated person can in these days be ignorant; and Dr. RUMSEY'S able address was followed by a paper •' On the Relation of the Water Supply of Large Towns to the Health of the Inhabitants," read by Dr. ALFRED HILL, professor of chemistry at Queen's College, Birmingham, and official analyst for the borough, who produced some statistics relative to his recent analyses, especially as regarded the well waters of towns, which all parties agreed in con -him:ling. In the water of one Birmingham well there were 507 grains of solid matter, 48 grains of organic matter, and 16 grains of chloride of sodium per gallon. The presence of chloride of sodium in large quantities indicates contamination by sewage. Manchester and Glasgow are both fortunate in this respect. They have plentiful supplies of pure water, Glas gow being now supplied by Loch Katrine, and the consequence being a marked improvement in the public health. Glasgow and Manchester have both, it is true, high death rates, but there are many other causes to account for this. Though the water is good the drainage is incomplete, and ashpits and open receptacles of sewage are still retained. As Dr. HILL observed, in remarking upon the morta lity of these two cities, it is only logical to assume that if Manchester and Glasgow had bad instead of good water the mortality would have been still higher than it is. During the prevalence of cholera the effects of bad water have been so plainly marked that in some districts only those who drank habitually the water of one particular well or pump were attacked, while their neighbours were safe. The Broad-street pump was a notable instance of this, while a similar example occurred in Salford gaol in 1859, when the impurity of the prison water caused an outbreak of choleraic diarrhoea among the prisoners. In 1866, when cholera was again busy in parts of the United Kingdom, it was noticed in Scotland that in all towns where wholesome water was supplied there were few, if any, cases of cholera, while in all the populous places where water was obtained from wells supplying impure water the proportion of cholera cases was large, and the fatality great. Such facts cannot be too often reiterated, and we are glad to find our social reformers are determined to make them more widely known. The Central Junta in Spain has been definitively constituted, and all arrangements are speedily pro gressing. The Official Gazette has published the protest of Queen IsABELLA, and preceded it by a few comments. The Junta, it is said, refrains from making any "criticism" on it. The nation have passed their " sovereign judgment" on the acts of the QUEEN, and can now pass their verdict on her words. This is plain enough in all conscience, and is sufficient to satisfy the doubts of the most san guine adherent to the cause of the exiled QUEEN. Some persons cannot take a denial, be it delivered in ever so emphatic a manner. At any rate the autho rities have shown good taste in forbearing to pass a harsh censure on the writer of the extravagant manifest in question, and they have done their cause good service thereby. From the outset of this affair, however, it'must be admitted that the party of progress have exhibited a surprising re ticence, and proved the force of their intentions more by acts than words, and never proceeding to extremities. The causa of General PRIM'S non arrival is now exflained by the circumstance that the inhabitants of Saragossa detained him in order to have a fete in his honour. Many preparations have been made to give full eclat to this ceremony, which seems to be unanimously desired. It is no matter of surprise that some dissatisfaction should have been expressed at the sudden elevation of Marshal SERRANO, and some provincial Juntas de clare their disapproval at his elevation to the VIE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY „EVENING, OCTOBER 7, 1868. supreme power without the sanction of the majo rity. Jealousy will always arise at the creation of any new authority, but the Marshal appears to be very successful in keeping order, and any indica tions of tumult have been repressed. The Avenir National of Paris states that the Provisional Go vernment has determined to pronounce the enfran chisement of the children of negroes in the Spanish Colonies as a preliminary to a law which is completing the abolition of slavery. This will be laid before the Constituent Assembly, and the change will be one decided gain for the new order of things which has obtained precedence at Madrid. We may now look forward to the extinc tion of slavery everywhere, which is indeed a de lightful prospect; and speaks well for the sentiment of the age. If any lingering doubt should exist in the mind of a devotee to old customs, we should think that the perusal of the QUEEN'S proclamation must speedily disabuse him, and reconcile him to the change that has taken place in the country she has left. The document in question shows nothing more plainly than that the ex-Queen of SPAIN was totally unfit to be a ruler, and that far from acquiring wisdom of late years she was retrograd ing. The conspiracies which were ever met with in her kingdom appear to have given her very little concern, and she had never one doubt on the im portant truth, that when the confidence of a people is withdrawn from its Sovereign all the faults can not be on one side. At any rate, her language on this occasion fully explains the principle upon which she has acted—a principle false, in every sense of the word, to the best interests of the nation ; and now, that it has been put to the final test, proved most worthless and unsound. In some respects this protest seems almost a mockery, for the verynotion of Queen ISABELLA talking of the sacrifices which she has made for the Spanish people is absurd, and we should be puzzled to find in what they consisted if a very minute search were made. The records of the past life of the QUEEN contain sad and strange tales, but nowhere can they indi cate that devotion to duty and that willingness to give up selfish motives for which she now seems in clined to demand praise and acknowledgment. Another thing she has entirely forgotten is that if she had " sacrificed herself," as she calls it, she would only have been doing her duty, because if a ruler has rights, he has also responsibilities, and cannot skake them off to suit his will and pleasure. Perhaps the best way to account for the ignorance displayed is by saying that QUEEN ISABELLA be longs to that class which will not learn, and not to that which cannot. Tempests and trials might await her from without, and within the citadel her most trusted defendants waver, and falter in their alle giance, it was all the same to her. Never did she yield an iota of h€r prejudices, or reform the errors of her own private life, which now show she en raged the public voice of the country. Now that she has had to resort to the last and most vexatious expedient that a Sovereign can choose, and fly be fore her rebellious and indignant people, the old leaven still remains, and from her refuge in another land she sends her parting words to them, and it seems she is resolved to show the world through them that she has learned nothing, and will learn nothing, by her fall. It is no ex aggeration to say that the friends of Queen ISABELLA, if she has any, have far more cause to be ashamed of her protest than of the disasters which led to it ; the one might have been beyond her control, the other was her spontaneous act. The history of past ages has not been without instances of sovereigns who have risen iu the estimation of their fellow-men when they fell from their high estate, who have been greater in adversity than in prosperity, and adorned the dark hours of their exile with wisdom and patience that be came them more than the Crown they had lost. Such a fate does not, how ever, attend the last of the BOURBON line who will probably ever hold sway in Europe. those who would willingly pay her the tribute of respect which belongs to adversity are precluded from so doing by the egregious folly and arrogance she displays, and they turn with interest to the new creation which is springing up in Spain, rather than with regret to her who has left it stripped of all outward show and semblance, but still more bereft in lacking that innate dignity which the splendour of thrones can neither give nor take away in their possession or loss. The scorn and contempt which the QUEEN hurls at her rebellious subjects shows but too plainly the feelings which have actuated her in her dealings with them, and out of the materials which her character con sists of, how can we wonder that so little good emonated? 'We must make all proper allowances for the faulty education and bad example which attended her childhool ; but still something de pends on the individual, and she has had experience enough had she chosen to avail herself of it. Europe, however, can give little or no heed to her disappointments and her follies, she has made her choice, and must abide by it; and all we have now to du is to congratulate her quandam subjects on the quiet and sensible manner in which they have made the change so much called for.

Between the hours of two and three o'clock this morning, as a police-constable of the M division was passing along his beat in the Old K en t- roa d , he noticed some smoke issuing from the arches of the London, Brighton, and South Coast R a il way Company. Feeling satisfied that a fire h a d ta k en place, he at once despatched the necessary intelligence to head engineer Med ea lf, at t h e corner of St. Thomas's-road, in th e same locality, and telegraphic messages were despatched to most of the other brigade stations in the district. Although this occupied not more than three minutes the flames shot forth with such vehemence and rose so high into the air as to become a far more speedier messenger of danger than even the tele graph, and forthwith engines were turned out simultaneously from numerous depots of the Metro politan Brigade, including four land steamers by Shand, Mason, and Co., as well as the London Salvage Corps, under the command of Mr. Super intendent Swanson and Foreman Cooper. By that time four of the arches of the railway, extending in one direction sixty feet, and each twenty-five feet deep, were sending forth immense sheets of flame. These arches were tenanted by Mr. F. G. Packer, a basket manufacturer, and the flames seized upon immense piles of rods and willow sticks, and also upon the fence of several houses near, as well as a couple of houses in Cross street. Plenty of the Southwark Company's water having been obtained, under the direction of In spector Hays the whole of the engines were called into operation, but in spite of which the fire could not be wholly extinguished, and not until the fol lowing damage was done, which is officially reported by Captain Shaw to the insurance offices :—Mr. Parker, basket manufacturer, 4, Arches of Rail way, 40 feet by 25 feet each, used as workshops, dwelling house, and stores, burned out, offices and stock in open yard severely damaged by fire and removal.

'PARIS, TUESDAY, October 6, hiicticw become evident that the Emperor, whatever inay he the feeling of the Empress towards her former sovereign, chews no inclination to trouble himself with Queen Isabella's affairs. It has been finally announced that France will not interfere in Spanish affairs, and the attitude of the Government on the subject is so decisive that it is even believed by some that the ex-Queen will not be allowed to greatly prolong her stay in the capital. The proclamation just published has led to the free expression here of the opinion that if the fallen sovereign wishes to renew the battle she had better choose some other fighting-ground. If she wishes to remain in France she must be quiet. It is generally !volleyed that the Queen has taken care to comfortably feather the nest to which it was long ago probable she might be compelled to retire. There can be very little doubt that a large sum of money has been sent across the frontier. Let Isabella enjoy it ; it is certain that no sove reign was more utterly forsaken by her subjects. The desertion is, perhaps, the most complete ever recorded, rave, perhaps, that which the great Napoleon suffered after his first abdication. When the news of the defeat of Alcolea had Leen received, the Queen called together the deputies of the Basque provinces, and asked them if they would arm in her defence. They replied that they could not do so; the general meeting of the deputies alone could give such an order. She asked them to consider the matter. They did consider, and came again the next day. " Who have you found in my antechambers ?" asked the Queen. "No one," was the response. The deputies added that the only promise they could give was to protect her Majesty so long as she remained in the Basque provinces. The ex-Queen then gave the order for departure. The military conference of the South German States is regarded with some jealousy both here and, I have reason to believe, at Vienna. It is said that the treaty of offen sive and defensive alliance which Prussia concluded with the South German States in 1866 will be fully interpreted at this conference. There is, however, greater reason to believe the conference will confine itself to its professed object—the regulation of a common system of defence for the South German States. But it is further evident that the chance of a South German Confederation is becoming less on account of the influence of Prussia in preventing a union which might some day be turned against her. This is not liked at Vienna, where it was hoped that a South German Confederation might ultimately ally itself with Austria. The Paris press gives some attention to the question of Consular Courts in Egypt. Most of them favour the inquiry claimed by the Egyptian Government, and which has, moreover, received the support of almost all the European States. Italy and Austria only have not yet given their consent to the inquiry. Yesterday there was a meeting of the Ministers of the State Council. MM. ltouher and Moustier had, besides, a long interview. M. Gellibert, who has just died, was not much of a speaker, but, nevertheless, a very active man and an influential deputy. His seat will be severely contested, Three candidates are already spoken of. Dr. Decausne publishes, in the Bulletin Gengrale etc Therapeutique, some interesting observations on the effects of the use of tobacco. He has observed thirty eight boys, aged from 9 to 15, who smoked more or less. Of these, distinct symptoms were present in twenty seven. In twenty-two there were various disorders of the circulation—breath-sound in the neck, palpita tion, disorders of digestion, slowness of intellect, and a more or less marked taste for strong drinks. In three the pulse was intermittent. In eight there was found on examination, more or less, marked diminution of the red corpuscles ; in twelve there was rather frequent epitaxis ; ten had disturbed sleep? and four had slight ulcerations of the mucous membrane of the mouth, which disappeared on ceasing from the use of tobacco for some days. In children who were very well nourished the disorder was in general less marked. He says there can be no doubt that upon the young, at least the use of tobacco has a most noxious effect. On the 3rd instant the new Government manifested its full confidence in the success of the revolution by a fate, the "principal ornament" of which was to be the popular assembly. The Palace of the Congress was adorned with arches of flowers, flags, shields, &c. ; all the troops composing the garrison formed in battle array, and afterwards filed before the Central Junta, who saluted them in the name of the Revolution. Adhesions to the new Government continue to come in, amongst the most important being that of Senor Mon, the Spanish ambassador at Paz is. The Italian residents in Madrid ,have followed the example of the English, and congratulated the Provisional Government on its success. Count Cheste has ordered his troops to Barce lona, says the Diarie, in order that they may make their pronunciamento in favour of the revolution. The Madrid Gazette makes the curious announcement that chairs have been established in different quarters of the city for teaching the law of popular policy, " in order that the people may make good use of the rights acquired by the revolution." The head of the Greek Cabinet, Bulgaris, has been obliged to give way to the demands of his partisans, and change the Ministers who hold the portfolios of Justice and Finance. Public opinion in Athens is rapidly turning against the President of the Council. A decisive crisis is not improbable. Meanwhile the Government supports its position by the most violent measures. It has dissolved the Society of Officers of the National Guard, which was beginning to indulge in manifestations little favourable to the existing regime. Comoundoros, the former President of the Council, has been outlawed, as it were, by his suc cessor, and has been obliged to remain in his province and surround himself by armed partisans. This disregard of the law by the leading men of the country naturally pro duces the worst effect upon the people generally. The semi-official papers of Paris announce that no con firmation of the report respecting a conspiracy against the Sultan has yet been received by the French Government. The North-East Correspondence, however, maintains that the plot was of the most formidable character. Its objects were nothing less than the assassination of the Sultan and all his Ministers, and the enthroning of the heir pre sumptive, Mourad-Effendi. The conspirators were arrested on the day on which they purposed executing their plans. Written proofs of their guilt were found. The news from Japan is not of a peaceful character. In numerous engagements between the troops of the north and the south the northerners had been completely vic torious, but it does not appear that the civil strife approaches termination. Meanwhile outrages on foreigners are of daily occurrence, and another Imperial decree has been issued against the Christians. The New York correspondent of the Daily News gives both sides of the dispute respecting the great riot at Camilla, in Georgia. The Southern account is that a " carpet-bagger " of the name of Pierce set out with a column of 250 armed negroes, with provisions for a week, and marched on Camilla with the intention of holding a Radical meeting. The sheriff met them, and requested them to go back. They refused compliance, however, and pressed on. Shortly afterwards a white man fired a shot at them, and then the citizens, in defence of their wives and families, made a general attack, pursuing the negroes for miles. The Radical account is that the negroes did not go to hold a meeting, and that they went armed because nobody in that region goes without arms. 'The first shot was fired by a man who was drunk. Whilst seven negroes were killed and thirty or forty wounded, there were only two or three whites hurt. This does not look as if the negroes had been very formidable even in arms. The Daily News correspondent thinks that in this instance there were probably faults on both sides, but that the chances are ten to one the negroes are in the right. The Rev. Dr. White, Presbyterian minister of Islington Church, Liverpool, has written a letter to the Pope, declining his Holiness's invitation to Protestants. In hi: postscript, which is by far the most important part of his letter, the rev, doctor says : "I sincerely congratulate your Holiness on the improved tone of your communica• tion. Might I venture to suggest that you should carry out the assumed spirit a little further, so as to grant to all the inhabitants of Rome liberty to worship God according to the dictates of their conscience, and also to exert your great influence to obtain the release of those who are pining in Spanish and other dungeons in Roman Catholic countries for reading the Word of God ?" The Bishop of Manchester, who some two years ago inhibited the Rev. D. Nihil for ritualist practices, ha 3 given notice to the Rev. J. E. Sedgwick, of St. Albans, Manchester, of his determination to withdraw his license within a certain prescribed time. His lordship is said to 1 have been led to this course in consecquence of having I received complaints that certain .tpractices, including the ' use of candles and the confessional, have been systemati• 1 cally observed at St. Alban's. The church has never been consecrated, and this places the power in the hands of the bishop to revoke the license he has granted without any intermediate proceedings. Mr. Sedgwick, in the mean time, has received an appointment to a rectory in the south If England. Madame Rattazzi is about to publish another .omauce, called " If I were Queen." John Saville Lumley, Esq., Minister Plenipoten. ziary at Berne, has been appointed to succeed Lord Howard de Walden as Envoy Extroxdinary and, Miniptc; rlenip9 3 intim M kw*. . TVESTON'S MUSIC HALL. The entertainment provided at this very favourite place of public amusement is now more than ordi narily attractive. The proprietor commendably abstains from dangerous sensational exhibitions, and rests his claims to support on good music well performed, and it is very gratifying to find that his exertions are highly appreciated by the large audiences that nightly crowd the elegant hall. The latest addition to the corps of vocalists is the re-engagement of Miss Tremaine, a young lady of acknowledged talent and a great favourite with the public. She returns with a voice much improved, and nightly receives a very hearty welcome and general applause for her excellent singing. Mr. Lascelles is another sound musician. Mr. Ren nolf is a baritone of a rare good quality, and Mr. Fred. French admirably sustains the comic ele ment, so necessary to:an evening's amusement. The sisters Lelia and Florence Ellis are really two very clever children, and the coquettish manner in which they gave imitations of some of the " star" comic vocalists elicits enthusiastic applause. The other members of the company well sustain their parts in the attractive programme which Mr. P. Corrie, the industrious and painstaking conductor, nightly arranges for the entertainment of the company. It must be exceedingly pleasing toMr. Sweasey to find that he has not made a mistake in depending upon genuine musical talent for success ; and however trickery, meretricious nonsense may please for a time, and in the end it is soon forgotten, whilst the pleasant recollection of some beautiful and graceful melody, sweetly sung or well performed, remains in the memory, as the poet says, " a joy for ever." To those who visit Weston's we can promise an evening's entertainment of real good music that cannot fail both to improve and please every lover of true harmony. OLD AGE.—At a village near Liskeard are living two sisters, in the enjoyment of perfect health and vigour, aged respectively 93 and 89. They recently lost two brothers, one aged 100 and the other 93. PILCHARDS.—The catches of pilchards on the Cornish coast during the past week were slight. Nearly 1,900 hhds., cured at St.lves and Motint's Bay ports, have been sold at 545. 6d. to 555. per hogshead, for the Mediter ranean supply. THE PUBLIC HEALTH. The following is the weekly return by the Registrar- General of Births and Deaths in London and in 13 other large towns of the United Kingdom s—ln the week that ended on Saturday, October 3, 4,219 births and 2,932 deaths were registered in London and in 13 other large towns of the United Kingdom. The annual rate of mortality was 24 per 1,000 persons living. The annual rate of mortality last week was 21 per 1,000 in London, 32 in Edinburgh, and 20 in Dublin ; 22 in Bristol, 18 in Birmingham, 30 in Liverpool, 32 in Manchester, 37 in Salford, 20 in Sheffield, 23 in Bradford, 32 in Leeds, 22 in Hull, 27 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and 31 in Glasgow. The rate in Berlin was 32 per 1,000 during the seven days ending the 24th ult. In London the births of 975 boys and 918 girls, in all 1,893 children, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years 1858-67 the average number, corrected for increase of population, is 2,043. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,229. It was the fortieth week of the year, and the average number of deaths for that week is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,287. The deaths in the present return are less by 58 than the estimated amount, and are less by 98 than the number recorded in the preceding week. The high rate of mortality from scarlatina (99) still continues. Every effort should be made to combat the disease and prevent its further progress by the employ ment of active sanitary measures. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the baro meter in the week was 29 . 415 in. The barometrical reading increased from 29 . 08 in. on Wednesday, September 30, to 29 . 95 in. on Friday, October 2. The mean tempera ture of the air in the week was 53'7 deg., which is 0 . 3 deg. below the average of the same week in fifty years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day temperature was 65 . 5 deg., on Tuesday, September 29. The lowest night temperature was 40.8 deg. on Saturday, October 3. The entire range of temperature in the week was, therefore, 24.7 deg. The mean of the highest temperatures of the water of the Thames was 58.3 deg. ; that of the lowest was 57.2 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 4.7 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 85, complete saturation being repre sented by 100, Rain fell to the amount of 1.17 in. The general direction of the wind was S.S.W. and N.E. Violent gales prevailed on Sunday, September 27, and Tuesday September 29. Ozone was observed on six days during the week. THE WEATHER TABLE.-THIS DAY. METEOROLOGICAL REPORTS.

Barometrical pressure on our KE, coast is less than it was yester day, but elsewhere in these islands readings are higher, the difference in Ireland exceeding 0.2 inch. In London pressure has risen quickly since last night, and the highest pressures are in the south. The difference between readings at Biarritz and Nairn is more than half an inch. Temperature is generally lower— the diminution at Nairn is 9 deg. Strong south-westerly winds blew yesterday at the entrance of the English Channel, but on the Irish coast the wind was north-westerly. The wind is now light from the westward on the Channel coast, but fresh on the west coast of Ire land. Rain has been general, and of considerable amount in the S. of England, The weather is cloudy. A high sea prevails on the coast of Ireland. There was a very stormy meeting yesterday afternoon .n connection with a proposal moved by Mr. Fitzroy, editor of the John Bull, that a grant of £20,00 should be f:iven for the use of the Church in Natal, independent of Bishop Colenso, and, we presume, under the control of Mr. Macrorie. The bishops and clergy went from St. Lawrence's Church, where there had been a grand service, to the society's rooms, and then began a very lively scene. The grant was moved by Mr. Fitzroy, and seconded by the Hon. H. Walpole. The Rev. Dr. Hessey moved, and Mr. H. E. Pellew seconded, an amendment, granting the £2,000, but with a preamble declaring in effect not to pledge the society to any opinion as to disputed questions. The Rev. M. W. Magin interposed with a modified amendment in order to secure unanimity of opinion. A brother-in-law of Bishop Colenso, the Rev. W. G. Humphrey, and Mr. Vansittart Neale more or less defended him. The Revs. R. Jeffrey-s, T. Darling, and others spoke, but there was great confusion. Both amendments were rejected, notwithstanding that the "%shop of Capetown spoke for the second ; and Mr. Fitz roy's original resolution was carried by 130 to 94. Mr. Humphrey gave notice to rescind the vote in December, and Mr. West a rider that the money should be paid this month, which the Archdeacon ruled out of order. Notice was given that an application would be made to the Court of Chancery for an injunction. Bishop Gray has attended his farewell services in Eng. land, and has preached his farewell sermon. St. Lawrence, Jewry—the favourite church of the bishops —was again crowded to hear, in the morning, Mr. Macrorie (the Bishop-designate of Maritzburg), and in the evening the Bishop of Capetown. The services are described as being " Ritualistic." Two other bishops besides Dr. Gray were present—Rochester and Edinburgh. Bishop Gray i n his sermon glanced rapidly at the state of the Church of England at the present time, and appeared to think that disestablishment would be no great evil, other Churches having flourished after having been submitted to the process. He spoke in terms of bitter regret at the conduct of her Majesty's Government—the Colonial Secretary having two months ago promised him a mandate for the consecration of a new bishop, and having refused him further communication on the subject up to that day. What all this would end in, he said, God alone could know,but he should go out in full hope of a happy termination of his labours." A. great deal has been said about the houses of the poor, their want of drainage, and cleanliness. But it seems that the rich err in this respect as well as their less fortunate neighbours. What in the one is a misfortune, however, in the other is a sin. Dr. Lankester, for instance, points out the prevalence of what is called " drain fever" amongst the upper classes, and urges those who have it in their power to see that their drains are clean. Another thing in which improvement is wanted is in the cleansing of cisterns. "It is not rare," says the Doctor, "to find water of the most dangerous quality attached to the pre• mises of the more opulent inhabitants. It is in the private houses of the wealthy and luxurious that the most startling instances are found of the neglect of the most obvious means of securing health." A woman named Hester Roberts has just sung her last stanza of " The Song of the Shirt." She was a needle woman, but was so illpaid that for a long time she was in A state of " semi -starvation," which means that she came by her death in the most lingering and cruel manner. Her laughter lived with her, and earned her living also by her needle. At the inquest on the body of her mother, the younger woman stated that when she was able she Bp ared her mother a few halfpence, with which to do battle with death, but as her earnings were some imes only 2s. a week, it is manifest that the halfpence must have been few. The parish officer was asked for relief, but this was sternly refused unless the women entered the workhouse. They preferred to struggle on. The other night the landlady went into her lodgers' room and found her dead in the corner. There was no bed or fur niture except a broken table, two bottomless chairs, and a heap of rags. The jury returned a verdict of "Death from extravasation of blood on the brain, accelerated by want of food and exposure." The English of the matter is, `that a poor woman, working with all her might, that she and her girl might live honestly, was refused relief unless she became a workhouse pauper, and that in wealthy London, whose riches and luxury are proverbial, she was left to die for the want of a crust of bread. Had the case been made a sensational one, perhaps a small fortune might have been at her service, but she died unheeded. Private charity did not include her, the parochial system passed her by, and the poor rates were not levied for her. There must be a screw strangely loose somewhere.

Hundreds we re disappointed in their endeavour to gain admittan ce ' It is no exaggeration to say that th e g dleries might have been filled three or four times over, if o°l the audience could but have taken those ten mille t ! turns which were the happy-go-lucky rule down a" Bartlemy Fair, at Richardson's. Supposing t he Messrs.

Punct° to the hour named for the commencement of t he first of his Farewell Readings, Mr. Charles Dickey: made his appearance u p on th e ra i se d p l at f o rm al the head of the great hall—the immense audieuce welcoming him with round after round of the W e i l enthusiastic accl ama ti ons . Hi s recept i on, indeed' both then and at frequent intervals throughp ut the night, and mo re es p ec i a ll y a t t h e wo ment of his departure, was magnificent. It spoke e ' cordial welcome to hi m u p on th e fi rst oceael°e of his appearance in public since his second visit t° America, and it spoke also of the vivid sense th e public have of these readings being his very last his readings of Farewell. Less remarkable, 1 1 ° r ever—very much less remarkable to our thinking"' than the crashing rounds of applause awarded t ° Mr. Dickens last night, again and again, by his enormous audience, was the breatlile a : interest with which every indi v id ua l i n th a t grea ,, assemblage hung upon his every wor d an d RO I throughout the evening, save o n ly w hen 11 intervals his voice was drowned by th e i r plaudit° or by the bursts of irrepressible l a ughte r awakened by the great humorist. D oc t or Marigo l d —that most wonderful of Cheap Jacks, althoug h merely a poor chap in a sleeved waistcoat—e° ° ' trived once more last evening, as he has often do ne before, to hold the entire audience spell-bound his more than simply graphic delineations of himself and his surroundings. Again, we all of it° had evidence, visibly and audibly, that the greatest of all our humorists as a writer, is also himself on e of the greatest actors now living. Hi s p o wer ° realising to us his own creations is, in truth, some : thing marvellous. Never, of course, for one install' in our appreciation of him, losing his own ider.titr; he is, we may say, if not " everythi ng by t urn s and nothing long," certainly every one of those per fectly well-known c rea t ures o f hi s b y turns, an d that with a rapidity of alternation or of sequenc e actually instantaneous. It was thus all throug h Dr. Marigold's prelection through whic h we saw and heard as distinctly as thoug h they had appeared before us in the flesh, in sue' cession, sometimes almost simultaneously—th e wife with a temper—the giant with the feeble circ ° : latian—thefe-rocious Mim—the political Dear JO` _the very dog who taught himself out of his owe head to bark at any one who bid as low as sixpence I And, through all the extravagant fun and grotesque' ness of the narrative, the pathetic tenderness of th e poor Cheap Jack's love for his little Sophy, AU L ' (after she is dead and gone) for her deaf and dum b double, or at any rate successor in hi s gentle!' affections, again last night captivated the l odic ence into breathless attention, touched many 01 them to tears, winning, moreover, in the end for the author of Dr. Marigold and for Dr. Marigold's ill!' personator as well :as creator, one of those enthuev astic bursts of applause popularly spoken of as ap ovation. Afterwards, at the close of the usual tee minutes interval, we had the immortal Trial Sceli e , from "The Pickwick Papers," the Great Trial 0 ' Bardell v. Pickwick. And then, as ever, the laugh' ter, in Homeric phrase, was simply inextinguisly able. Sergeant Buzfuz, Mr. 'Winkle, Mrs. Cluppl° l Sam Weller, and perhaps the best of them all, O . ' Justice Stareleigh, each in turn shook the hall agal ° and again with a roar of merriment. The laught er —pealing in rapid intervals through it all—reaching its climax at last when Old Weller at the Vert, conclusion, exclaims in hi s gu tt ura l vo i ce , " v Sammivel, Sammivel, vy worn't there a halibi !" The admiration reawakened by these wonderfu l Readings only serves to emphasize the regret, wit h which all of us know, that they are now being given by Mr. Dickens in final Farewell. RESCUE of THIRTEEN MEN AT SEA.—The screis r steamea Caledonia, Captain Macdonald, which arrived bt Glasgow on Saturday, reports having picked up on the 25th Sept., in lat. 47 39 N., long. 50 16 \V., the crew of th e bark Vasco de Gama, of Hull, bound from Quebec for Sun' derland.

Captain Harrison stated that that same morning they had parted with the second boat, containing the first mate and five of the cre'°' who bad gone in pursuit of a sail. Captain Macdonald 3t once altered his course, and during the day succeeded In picking up the other boat with its six occupants. B° th . boats were very leaky ; one of them was without a ruddell and the oars had to do duty as masts. The supply of frog; water was almost gone, and the only food of the 1 ,00 , 0 , fellows consisted of a few b ro k en bi scu i ts steepe d in 561" water.

SCULLERS' RACE FOR £loo.—Yesterday after noon William Biffen, a waterman's apprentice, of litmtnersinith, and James Griffiths, also a waterman's prentice, of Wandsworth, rowed from Putney to Mort lake for £3O a side in outriggers. The match arose out of the apprentices' race for the coat and badge at the late Thames Regatta, in which both contended, Biffen winning the coat, and Griffiths resigning the contest at half NOY ; the form of the latter on that occasion was sufficient to in" duce his friends to make this match. Betting—• 3 to 1 00 Biffen, who had the best station and took the lead.
