Parker, West Strand. HEALTH OF LONDON DURLVG THE WEEK (From the Weekly Return of the Registrar General.) In the week ending la , t Satprdly 1,023 deaths were registered in the districts or the metropolis. In the corresponding weeks of the ien years (1841-50), the average w;s 1,102 ; compared with which the present return exhibits a favourable result. And if it could be safely assumed, notwithstanding the effects of various epidemics, that the population has increased yearly at the rat , . or 1 55 per cent. (the annual rate of increase observed in L radon between the two censuses of 1831 and 1841) and the above average were proportionally augmented, the com parison would show the public health of the week in a still more satisfactory point of View. But it will be found on examination that, in five out of the ten cor responding weeks, the returns differ little from that of last week, or fall much below , it, whilst an exces sive mortality presses on other pa c rts of the series, the deaths rising to 1,450, at one period, when influenza was on the wane, at another, whe4 cholera had broken out in Drouet's institution, and thus swelling the ac count above what an average ,state of health would produce. The last week exhibits a marked improvement on the first week of the Yeal;""Cliefry -in ..the decline of fever and the epidemics to Which children are subject, but also in the diminished effects of diseases of the respiratory organs. In the previous week the deaths from epidemics in the aggregate were 239, in the last they were 173 ; and to take particular maladies in this class, there were in the former week, from small pox, measles, scarlatina, and hoopingcough, 28, 29, 14, and 58, respectively ; in the last week there were 16, 21, 16, 43 • scarlatina alone, which, however, is now less fatal than usual, not showing i decrease. Typhus has declined in the two weeks fr m 48 to 35 ; erysi pelas from 14 t o 2. A mongs t co plaints whi c h tas sume an epidemic character in uenza alone shows any tendency t o incre ase; it h carried off nine persons in the week, though it usually reaches less than half that number. In coppexion with three cases of typhus, which proved (add in three different parts of the metropolis, the ,' registrars call at tention in their notes to the circumstances in which these events occurred—here " a filthy and overcrowded court," which had been repeatedly complained of as the nursery of disease ; at another place, " miserable huts," which had been constructed without regard to comfort or decency; and in the third case, a small back room is described, where six persons had been sleeping, and into which air could not penetrate either by means of the chimney or other channel.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0001. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office are —Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by exp6rience, that the total annual lmses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. _ . - . _ It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium fer Fire Insarance can only be ap proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted r n, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this Question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, fl'om time to tirr e, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investiga.ion will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. . _ Per Messrs.

E Acriois, 90.—The report that the Albion, 90, Capt. Hope Johnstone, had been seen dismasted in the Bay of Biscay, has been proved to he unfounded by the intelligence that a line-of-battle ship had passed through the Straits of Gibraltar to the eastward on the 3'l inst. There is no doubt that this line-of battle ship was the Albion, for no other two-decker is en 7oate to the eastward in that part of the station ; and as westated before, the Albion was ordered to proceed direct to Malta, without touching at Lisbon or Gib raltar.—Herald. Lieut. De Horsey is raising men for the Cumber• land at Portsmouth, and Lieut. Kynaston is raising men for that ship at Devonport. Indefatigable, 50, Captain Smart, K.H., now that her men from the West Indies have rejoined, is only twenty men and boys short of her full complement.

Robertson, of the Fisgstrd, hnd party, who navigated the Rosamond from Wool wich—so soon as the wegher moderated. Crane, packet, Lieut. Parsons, will be paid off at Devonport to-morrow. DEVONPORT, TUESDAY.--The weather is still very boisterous—wind from the SW. As soon as it moderates, Mr. Henderson, with a party under his command, will proceed to Falmouth in the Virago, steam sloop, for the purpose of towing the Astrea, store-ship, and Aurora, coal depot, to this port, the establishment at Falmouth having been broken up. DOCKYARD.—The candidates for apprentices in this dockyard (above seventy in number) have been examined during the past week by the schoolmaster, and their respective abilities will be ascertained by the proper officers previous to being transmitted to their Lordships. WOOLWICH, JAN. 15.—The Resistance, 10, troop ship, Master Commander Bradshaw, arrived at Gravesend to-day with three companies of the Royal Artillery on board—Captain Gambier's Bth battalion, from Malta, Captain Riddell's Company, 6th bat talion, from Corfu, and Captain Dunlop's Company, 7th battalion from Gibraltar. The Monkey steam vessel went down the river in the afternoon to tow the Resistance up to Woolwich to-morrow morning, after putting her powder on shore at Purfleet.

" War-office, Jan. 13. " Sir,—lt having appeared to me that through the in creased opportunities of education which have been lately affirded to the army, 'a ready means is offered of ob!ain in!g soldiers from the ranks capable of filling the situa tions of clerks in the several military offices on foreign stations, while at the same time a fair reward would be ,iecurel to the w , ll-conducted and intelligent soldier, I have the honour to acquaint you, that I have obtained the concurrence of the Commander-in-Chief, and the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, in the 9roipectiv4 introduction o f such a measure; and I have accorlingly to request that on the occurrence of a vacancy among the clerks in the several military offices within your command, you will apply to the command ing officer of any regiment on the station, to recommend to you a steady and intelligent soldier capable of filling the same, after a pLriod of probation not exceeding three months. This soldier, if confirmed as fit for the situa tion, shall be removed from his regiment, and be attested for general service, in order that while holding his office ho shall continue to be a soldier in the army, and liable if removed from his appointment for irregularity or in capacity to be ordered to military duty with any regi ment then on the station. "Any man so confirmed in his appointment will have the rank and pay of sergeant, with clothing, rations, lodging and fuel, and light, or with money allowances in lieu thereof ; and will have the chance of rising in some of the offices, by succession, to the senior clerkship, in which event be will be entitled to the rank, pay, and al lowances of sergeant-major. " The service, as clerk, of any soldier confirmed in the appointment will be allowed to reckon towards pension as non-commissioned officer.

Of these the sales of three estates were altoge ther adjourned for want of competition, and a similar fate befel several of the lots of the other properties, which found partial purchasers only. Anything, however, really worth the attention of the speculator was readily bought up at, at least, the fair average rate of purchase under this court. The Cork estates of Mr. Garret Standish Barry were offered in twelve lots, only two of which changed hands, the amount produced being 4,250/. A small estate in the county of Tyrone, the property of the Hon. Andrew Godfrey Stuart, yielding an annual profit rental of 2721. 15s. 4d., was one of the very few desirable investments offered during the day, and was warmly com peted for, a gentleman named Gunning being finally declared the purchaser at the high figure of 4,5701. The estate of the Messrs. Knox, in the county of Mayo, containing 4,693 acres, yielding a rental of about 3501. a year, subject to an annuity of 3001. per annum, payable to the petitioner in the cause', " Bar- bara Knox White," was sold in five lots for 1,1811. Another attempt was made to sell the estates of Mr. Samuel Maunsell, in the counties of Limerick and Kilkenny, but with no better success than attended the former experiment. With the exception of some house property in the city of Kilkenny, which realised about 250/., the other portions of the property found little or no favour, and the sale of the several lots stood adjourned for a third trial. The estate of Mr. Thomas Gowan (owner and petitioner), consisting of 304 acres of land in the county of Wexford, produc ing a profit rental of 2001. per annum, sold for 1,4001. This wound up the proceedings of a rather dull day.

The Court of Queen's Bench gave judgment yes terday in the celebrated case of " Wauchob v. Rey nolds," which first came before their Lordships in Michaelmas term, 1849. Its last form was in the nature of a demurrer take❑ to the validity of the re turn filed by the late Corporation, alleging, in answer to the mandamus to proceed to the election of a Lord Mayor i❑ the place of Mr. Reynolds, that the office was full. The judges, with the exception of Mr. Justice Perrin, decided that the return was no answer to the writ, and allowed the demurrer, with costs. It was intimated at the close of the proceedings that the case is to he brought before a superior tribunal, so that, after 18 months' litigation, the whole ques tion, thanks to the "glorious uncertainty," remains virtually undecided. THE LATE FATAL CATASTROPHE AT BELFAST. An inquest was held on Saturday on the remains of the 12 unfortunate men who were crushed to death by the falling of the new mill at Beer's-bridge, Bel fast. Toe evidence taken goes to show that the death of so many human beings was caused by the insuffi ciency of the materials of which the building was composed. After the examination of several wit nesses the inquiry was adjourned till the Thursday. A warrant fur the apprehension of Mr. Magee, the contractor, wes then issued by the coroner, and imme diately executed. Mr. Magee was removed to the County Giol, the Governor receiving instructions, at the same time, not to place him on the prison allow ance, or upon prison discipline, the object of the war rant being merely to secure his appearance. Bail, to any amount, was offered, but refused. ..-* - X .- ,~ / ,MITIIFIELD-MARKET. (From the Morning Herald.) We have observed, in various companies, and on many occasions, cf late, that the plan of the Corpo ration of London for establishing a new Smithfield market is almost entirely unknown. It will be our duty, therefore, es far as we are able, to make it known ; and though this cannot be done in a few minutes, or by a few lines, we do not despair of causing it to be thoroughly understood by a large pro portion of the higher and middle classes, in the course of an article or two. The plan of the Corporation, then, for effecting which a Bill is now actually prepare'd and ready for Parliament, must he thus described :- 1. It is not a Bill for perpetuating the present Smithfield- market. 2. It is not a Bill for abolishing, and removing to a distance, the present Smithfield -market. But 3. It is a Bill fur establishin g a new Smithfield• market And this is precisely what the necessities of the case point out as the thing which ought to he done. Nobody defends the market as it now stands. Nobody that is rational (except the Times and Punch claim to be so considered) would incur the desperate and needless risk of carrying, or attempting to carry, the market three or four miles away from London. What remains, then, but to try to make the present market what it ought to be, or rather, to construct a new marhet near the present site, but freed from all the evils of Smithfield as it now exists. Adopting these common-sense views of the matter, and acting with its usual vigour, the Corporation has prepared ind lodged a Bill, the leadin g features of which may be thus described : The new market, proposed to be established, is to be placed between the present Smithfield-market and the new street now making, called Victoria-street * which is to lead from Holborn-bridge to Clerkenwell green. Of the present site, a small portion only, at the top of West-street, will be included. The new site will be obtained by taking down part of King street, part of West-street, and the courts and alleys adjoining. It will be, of course, far larger than the site of the present market. It will possess, like the present market, the advantage of being out of the way, _ And . interfering in no degree — with-Mae great thoroughfares, or_ the other business -of the metro polis. It will be gained by the removal of property and premises of a bad and worthless kind—" knackers' yards," and places of that description. It will also possess the great advantage of being placed on the side of a hill, so as to facilitate to the utmost degree a thorough and rapid drainage. Connected with this it should be stated that, ac cording to the new plan ftlr the general drainage of London, the main sewer for conveying all the soil of the metropolis into the marshes of Essex will pass by Holborn-bridge, within 100 yards of the proposed new market, thus affording means for the effectual drainage of the whole establishment, to the full extent of the utmost wishes that could be formed. That portion of the market which immediately ad joins Victoria-street will be allotted to the purposes of a meat market ; thus superseding entirely the pre sent Newgate-market. In this manner the proximity of the two markets—the importance of which is stated by all the witnesses to be very great—will be pre served, while the live cattle, instead of proving any annoyance to the passengers in Victoria-street, will be kept entirely out of sight. Still the proximity to Victoria-street itself will be an important feature in the case. This street, when completed, as it will now be by the Corporation, will prove one of the most important thoroughfares in the whole metropolis; presenting one wide open road leading from Kent and Surrey, over Blackfriarti bridge, crossing Fleet-street and Holborn, and then proceeding straight up to the Great Northern Rail way, and opening into the New-road, within a quarter of a mile of the terminus of the London and North-Western Railway. It will be evident, at a glance, to anyone acquainted with the metropolis, that it would he quite impossible to select any other spot possessing similar advantages. The southern droves entering London by Blackfriars hridge would reach the market in a little more than a qt.arter of a mile ; the northern would approach by the northern part of Victoria-street, through Clerken well, without touching either of the great east and west thoroughfares, Fleet-street or Holborn. Add to all this, that the Corporation would not dream of opposing a new police regulation, limiting all cattle driving in the metropolis within certain hours, ending at nine or ten o'clock in the morning, and we are at a loss to know what further &mead any honest oppo nent of the present Smithfield-market system can have to make on the Corporation. Such is the general outline of the scheme about to be offered to Parliament. It embraces all the follow ing advantages :- 1. A central situation : a point dwelt upon by all the witnesses as of the very first importance. 2. The seclusion of the market from all the other bu-inesses of London. 3. The most complete and sufficient access from all the great thoroughfares and approaches of the metropolis. 4. The most complete and thorough system of drainage, by which all the filth of the market will hi carried away, hour by hour, as fast as it is created. This plan, complete in all its parts, the Corporation is prepared to carry at once into effect. What other offer is before the public ? Let us not be told of possible sites at Holloway, Hornsey, or Highgate— sites which will doubtless be sold by their present owners, if a larger sum be offered than they can realize elsewhere. The question will still remain—. who is to form the new market ? The Corporation has made the best offer in its power, and no other proposal can it tender. Private speculators will surely look at the fate of the new market at Islington, and tremble. Practically, then, there seems to be bat little choice, but either to maintain Smithfield market in its present condition, or else to accept the offer which the Corporation of London is now making to the public—an offer which unquestion ably includes all that any reasonable man can ask or desire. FALLACIES OF THE GENTLEMEN. (From Funds.) By a Lady who unfortunately knows them only too well.) That women are only born to be their slaves. That dinner is to be ready for them the very mi nute they come into the house. Tnat a lady's bonnet can be put on as quickly as a gentleman's hat. That we can dress in a minute; and that ringing the bell violently has the eff e ct of making us dress one bit the quicker. That they can do everything so much better than we can, from nursing the baby down to poking the fire. _ _ That they are " the Lords of the Creation " (pretty lords, indeed !) That nothing can be too good for them; for I am sure if you were to put a hot joint before them every day that still they would be dissatisfied, and would be grumbling that you never gave them cold meat. That they know our age so much better than we do ourselves. (It's so very likely !) That they may invite whom and as many as they please, but it we only invite our mamma to come and stop with us, or just ask a dear unmarried sister or two to atop with us fur a month, that there's to be no peace for us, so long as they remain in the house. That music can be ltarnt without practising, and that it is necessary for theta to rush out and to slam the door violently the very moment we begin to o p en our voices, or to run over the last new Polka. That sleeping after dinner promotes conversation. That they know what dress and bonnet becomes us so much better than we do. a poor w oman cry , sp d o m ff l e e c laa l lsh a l th eireurasre m That stfiwohateehyoie we n must beli eve t h at their wives cut rfatt buttons purpos e l y, f rom t h e savage r - a he k y e snt i oe n tr abusin g iaclsl,oww ie make because That a it s t i u s pi n d e s c h es ir sa t -rY bu t t o ton happens to b e o ff.

WOLFF.—Dr. Joseph Wolff, the celebrated missionary and traveller, whose journey to Bolt hara gained him so much distinction. preached three times yesterday in St. Andrew's Episcopal Church. Considerable interest was evoked by the circumstance, and the congrega tion at each service was large in consequence. The Rev. Mr. Corder, the incumbent of the chapel, officiated at the reading-desk. In the evening, prompted by the recent "aggression," to which he referred, Dr. Wolff made his dis course the vehicle for a rapid review of several of the tenets held by the Church of Rome in opposition to Protes tantism, giving at the same time an exc eedingly graphic and interesting description of the manner in which he be came acquainted with them—first in the qualified form that they are maintained by Cisalpine Catholics, and latterly as they are inculcated in their full breadth and development at Rome itself, where during the pontificate of Pius VII. he was a resident, and studied at the Colleggio di Roma with Mastai Ferretti, the present occupant of the Pap-al chair, as a fellow-pupil. The Rev. Doctor's narrative and exposition were listened to - with the most marked attention. The col lections were for tehoof of the poor connected with the con gregation, and amounted, we believe, to a liberal sum.— Glasgow Daily 1I(ail pf l'riday. SOCIETY OF ARTS.

The minutes of the preceding meeting on the 18th ult , having been read and confirmed, Mr. COLE read an address of the council of the society on its policy during the session, in pursuance of one of the by-laws, enacted to provide a uniformity of policy under every management. The CHAIRMAN then informed the meeting that the pressing engagements of Mr. Henderson prevented his attending the society, as he had promised, for the purpose of reading a paper on the materials used, and the amount of labour employed, in the construction of the building for the Exhibition of 1851. In his absence, however, his partner, Mr. Fox, had kindly consented to be present; and though not prepared to read a paper on the subject, he would be most happy to answer any question which any one present might think proper to put. Mr. WINKWORTII then commenced the discussion, by asking Mr. Fox to state generally the mode in which the interior of the building was prevented from external wet, and internal moisture, arising from the condensation of watery vapour. Mr. Fox, after expressing his readiness to answer _any questions on the details of the construction, and inviting inquiry in the most courteous terms, pro ceeded to explain the construction of the Paxton gutter, which we have already done in all its particulars, and then said that the building acted precisely as a still, the vapours ascending being condensed under the glass, and carried off by the side channels of the gutters. So rapid was its action in this respect, it was found that a quantity of water thrown upon the floors disappeared in a remarkably short space of time. It was found, by experiment too, that buildings of the same kind, such as conservatories, are con siderably drier than others. Mr. JOSEPH GLYNN inquired what the arrangements were to allow of the expansion and contraction of the iron by change of temperature, and also as to the effect of the wind with regard to the stability of the building. Mr. Fox first answered the question as to the energy of the wind. He stated that in a violent galeof wind the total effect of it on one of the long side s infinitely of the building bad been estimated as being equiva lent to a weight of 19i tons, which was infiut surpassed by the sum of the resistanc es of the trans verse girders. With regard to th e expansion and contraction of the metal, it was so very inconsid er _ able, that the girders were keyed hard and fast to the columns. In answer to questi ons from various other mem bers,suporwtis.th re f e rence to the sufficiency of the gall e ry p Mr. Fox stated that, a3sinning them to be closely packed with peovle, the extreme of pressure would be which w ou ld pro d uce a g pressurel!2 Ihs. po te r s; qt o u n a sr eo r t ih o eta,chirder, and the girders were proved to 15 tons, and would not break under tons. He wished that it were practicable to try the effect of a locomotive engine Inns ing . along one of them, as he was sure the result would be most satis factory. Several other questions having been put to Mr. Fox, with reference to minor matters of detail, and answered l►y him with the greatest readiness, to the complete satisfaction of the society, Mr. WEBSTER moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Fox for his kind atendance, in the absence of his partner, and also for his courtesy in placing the building at the disposal of the society on the 31st of December last, for the purpose of a scientific inspection. Mr. WINKIVORTH seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously, and, after a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the titan terminated. . . • 1 1 01 5 0 01 5 0 0 2 2 0 7.4 i 7 ......„ _ til , xi, ,/.. •, .i. •• .. . -,... 1..,...1 _ - • . - _ ~... _ .......
