M. in the bargain, which is more than one-fourth of the whole of his payments, or he could either draw out a part, 201. or 501., diminishing the Policy only by the assured value of the sum se drawn out at the age when withdrawn. Sec pagess and7in detailed pamphlet, by P. G. P. Nelson, Esq. * The rates hare selected are those adopted by the English and Cambrian Office, and advertised in its distinctive features as low rates of premium, and professedly for the lower and midd ing classes. In most offices, particularly the older ones, such as the Scottish Equitable and the Globe, these rates would be much higher. In the former of 101.75. 6d., with 10 shillings per cent. entrance fee, would be the rate to insure 5001. at 20 years of age. In the latter 81. 13s 4d., to insure the same sum. The higher the rate the more in favour cf the nneosrr system. Money laid out at compund interest DOUBLES ITSELF every four ''v'm years. On comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a person under the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance can secure the follow ing advantages, viz., Ist. For B less sum, paid annhally, he can assure a ' s _l,arger sum in case of death than un der the ordinary system. '. In the event of a desire to surrender his Policy he can receive in this Company, by the above example, which applies to all ages, Tangs times as much as on the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property, of the same value as it was, though he cease his current payments for any nu m b er o f years ; whereas on the ordinary sy stem, he g ets nothing. 4thlv. Should he require to increase or decre ase the amount of his policy he can do so at pleasure. Recap, at any time, by giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw any part from 11 up to the Whole amount of his previous paymtnts and with interest. After he has withdrawn part one year he can, by a single payment, three Ynars, or any time afterwards. raise his policy to a grea ter or even i former amount ; and by this system he can at all times regulate his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the bargain o fhaving a fund to fly to in case of necessity, the same as In a ba n k, w i t h t hi s pa l pa bl e a d vantage, however , that he gets inte rest for his mon e y, and in c a se o f d ea th hi s f am ily receive more than the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices he can do ro such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment be ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any fund to Sy to for aid, all his hard-earned savings become forfeited to the society, and his misfortunes servo to benefit the pockets of his more fortunate co-assurers. Such aWEdinllc too equitable and too striking to be overlooked and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be universally recognized and adopt e d w h en th e principles are impar tially canvassed, and its p a lp a bl e b enef i ts become widely diffused. lt confers greater advantage s th an a b tnk because it allows a fair rate of interest in case of w ithd rawal, and gives twice the amount in the hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor in caselof death, thus combining the ADVANTAGES OF A RANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. In case of endowment assurances the advantages of the DEPOSIT system are still more striking. ADVANTAGES OF THIS COMPANY UNDER THE ORDINARY LIFE ASSURANCE BRANCH. To those who prefer this branch Policies are granted from 201. to 5,0001. on every known principle thereof. Lives in all but the worst stages of disease, and such as have been rejected isy other Offices, are taken at rates equivalent to the parti cular disease.

L By PISISTRATIJS CAXTON ; Our readers will, perhaps, be amused to observe from the following statement made by the Paris correspondent of the Morning Herald, in re ference to ourselves, that serious notice has been taken on the other side of the channel of a para graph quoted in the columns of The Sun, princi pally for the sake of its vulgar jocularity. It was, in fact, an amusing illustration (amusing at least to those in any way acquainted with the subject) of the length to which a petty partizanship will some times carry even the veracious correspondent of a weekly newspaper, descedding, in this instance, to A decree of the Emperor, dated the 29th ult., consisting of not fewer than 54 articles, regulates the uniforms and official costumes of maritime pre fects, officers of men-of-war, officers and agents of other corps of the navy in service in France and the colonies, chaplains of the navy, and directors, chiefs, and clerks of the central Administration.

The Minister of Public Wcrks has charged a commission to investigate the various causes which lead to accidents on railways, to draw up statisti cal tables of the same, and to suggest the best means of preventing them. The Courrier de Marseilles, in announcing the arrival in that port, on the 29th ult., of the Euxine steamer, bringing intelligence from Calcutta to the 22d December, and from Bombay to the 3d of Jan uary, remarks that this vessel commences a new service from Calcutta. Previously, there was only one direct departure per month from that port for Europe, the second being from Bombay. Hence forward there w be two direct departures each month from Calcutta for Marseilles, on the 6th and the 20th of each month. The above journal adds the gross carricature of an illustrious personage, whose beauty had long since become, we may say, with truth, universally appreciated. The follow ing is that to which wo have referred : " I have just been given to understhnd that The Sun of Monday has been seized in consequence of an article which it extracted from a Radical weekly paper, and which was offensive to the feelings of the Emperor." The rumours in circulation for the last few days, relative to a change in the Ministry, have acquired yesterday still greater consistency. The names of the parties to be affected by it are the same as Already so often mentioned. Of the whole Cabinet it is said that only MM. Xould, Ducos, and Magne remain. The last-naitpd undertakes the Finance department, and is ti be succeeded in his present post of Minister of .lic Works by the Duke de Mouchy. M. de Mo goes to the Interior, and M. Walewski is still spoken of for the Department of Foreign Affairs. General Ran don takes the War department ; and the same ac count adds that M. Bineau is to succeed the Count d'Argout in the Governorship of the Bank of France, and that the son of Count d'Argout is to be appointed to a Receiver-Generalship. The price of bread for the first fortnight of the present month is fixed at 31c. the killog., first quality, being a reduction of Ic. ; the second qua lity remains as it was, at 24c. The Moniteur publishes the returns of the corn trade in the different markets in France, in Janu ary last, from which it appears that the average price of the hectolitre of wheat was 19f. 43c. at Toulouse, Gray, Lyons, and Marseilles ; 17f. 37c. at Marans and Bordeaux ; ISf. 73c. at St. Laurent and the Grand Lemps ; 17f. 58c. at Mulhouse and Strasburg; 18f. 9c. at Bergues, Arras, Roye, Sois sons, Parts, and Rouen • 17f. 64c. at Saumur and. Nantes ; 17f. 59c. at Metz, Verdun, and Charle y] lie • and 18f. 36c. at St. Lo, Paimpol, Quimper, and Hennebon. that its private letters contain no political news of importance. The price of indigo of the new crop is much higher than it was last year at the same period. The Independance of Douai states that several new and extensive veins of excellent coal have just been discovered near that place. The sums received in the Paris Savings' Bank during the past week amounted to 549,190 fr., from 1,497 depositors, of whom 639 were new, and the sums paid out to 541,819 fr. The amount of money received during the same period by the Caisse de Retraites for the aged, was 742,783er., from 773 accounts, of which 530 were new. The Bourse was yesterday as agitated as on Monday ; but, towards the close of business, prices improved. The Three per Cents. opened at 79f. 10c., fell to 781. 69c., roe to 79f. 40c., and closed at 79f. 25c., for the end of the month. The Four and-a-Half per Cents. closed at 105 f. 10c.

The Emperor and his Imperial bride still remain at St. Cloud. On Monday they visited Versailles and were greeted with every mark of respect. So perfect were the arrangements on Sunday, that notwithstanding the vast crowds who thronged to every point on the line of march to view the cortege, not a serious accident islkflown to have occurred. It may be as well to add that whilst the police in general arrest from 70 to 80 persons per day, on Sunday the number of arrests was only 17. Telegraphic dispatches were sent' by the Govern ment on Sunday to the prefects of the departments at different periods of the day, announcing the commencement, progress, and termination of the ceremony, and srating the reception of the Emperor ' and Empress by the people of Paris to have been most enthusiastic. The Petrie says :—" The accor.nts received by the Government are most favoura:le. In a great number of - churches by a spontatteous movement Te Deums were sung on Sunday to commemorate the marriage of the Emperor. In a number of towns there were fetes and illuminations. A great many towns of the provinces, such as Nantes, Rouen, Limoges, &c., were ;Uum-riated. on Sunday evening in honour of the marriage of the Emperor. Te Prefect of the Seine-Ingrieure decided that an extraordinary ration of pros :sions should be distributed to the persc;ns confined iq the pri sons of the department. In many places, distributions of food have been made to the poor. The following is a copy of one of the telegraphic dispatches sent on Sunday evening by the Govern ment authorities to all parts of France, as stated in our account of the religious ceremonies : " The ceremonies of the religious marriage of the Emperor have taken place at Notre Dame, with an order, a pomp, and a solemnity worthy of the empire. Their Majesties, in going to Notre Dame and in return ing to the Tuileries, have Everywhere on bahneren p rs assa of passage workmen's our young associations. passed through the crowds of an immense populati on, i n th e m id s t o f which waved numberless and beautiful Empress has received from the people, from the National Guard, and from the army the most touching and enthusiastic reception. Paris will preserve the memory of this national solemnity for a long time." It is announced on high authority that her Majesty the Queen of Spain is about to present the Empress Eugenia with a costly coronet, richly and magnificently adorned with diamonds. The crowd of visitors to the cathedral of Notre Dame, yesterday, was immense. At noon there was a line of people waiting for admitsion extend ing at least a quarter of a mile, arranged in line four deep. The magnificent decorations of the Hotel de Ville also attracted thousands of visitors. Among the most conspicuous of the illuminations on Sunday night was that of the Baron Roths child. The register which was used at the Tuileries on the archives o f th e S ecre t ary o f Imperial house, the se, w E h m ie p h aserhor, is that of the former ho in it i s d a t e d M arc h 2, N apoleon's adoption of the t bls h Bet e eoa nt:p. occasion preserved aenTs dehrev e o di ifrtithn recordse entry rthe Emperor, and as Vice- Napoleon 111. i s th a t o f given to th e t rade of Paris by the Prince trtiholyae tbooifr tf Eht Italy.h u oe g f e mt n h e aeTr a sKrhi marriage n o g r n gee ocooff of Rome, 20, 1811. bearing date March impulse lat T e h i e mperial fetes is said to have proved highly satisfactory to the bourgeoisie.. The etiquette at receptionss and, vests h as cau sed the coat requiring gentlemen to owffiiaeacrl balls embroideredand ladies to enter upon a. rivalry i n their toilettes, and already an enormous demand h as been created for all kinds of the most costly art i cles of attire for both sexes. A perfumer, who has a rather exten sive clientele in the aristocracy, is said to have sold in one week fans to the amount of 9,000 f., gloves to an equal amount, and periftimery to the amount of 6,000 f. There have been also extensive orders for carriages, furniture, and 'jewellery. A scaffolding which had been erected in the new rue de Rivo]i broke down on Sunday just before the cortege arrived at the spot, from the too great weight of the persons who, had been admitted to place themselves on it. Six females were much bruised. It is stated that Raron Brenier, Secretary- General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has been appointed Envoy Extp.ordinaL.>,— of France at Constantinople. He is abo4t to proceed to Toulon, to embark on board the Etilaireur steamer for hi post. The appointment of M. Brenier to Constan tinople may be fairly regarded as a fresh tender of peace. That Austria is about to take advantage of the difficulties of the Porte in the affair of Monte negro cannot be doubted, and in doing so will, of course, be aided by Russia, and M. B renier is in all probability charged with an offer of a media torial character, i n conjunotion with Great Britain, to save the Porte from her growing dangers at the hands of the two northern' powers, The Emperor, by decree dated the 29th ult., issued on the report of the Minister of Marine, has re-established the second section of the General Staff of the Navy (the reserve), which was sup pressed in April, 1848, a similar measure having al ready been carried into effect in the army. The de cree enacts the law of May 19, 1834, on officers, shall be applicable to those of the second section, and that they shall receive three-fifths of the pay of their grade; also that they may in time of war be appointed to commands at sea, or in the interior—and, if senators, to commands in th e i nterior in time of peace likewise. The Monit eur announces that the ll o wing officers have, on their demand, in virtue of this decree, been removed from the retired list, an d admitted to the second section of the General Staff: DR.

The following quarterly returns of the marriages, births, and deaths registered in the divisions, counties, and districts of England, has just been issued (published by authority of the Registrar-General) : This return comprises the births and deaths registered by 2,190 registrars in all the districts of England during the, autumn quarter ending December 31st, 1852 ; and the marriages in more than 12,000 churches or chapels, about 3,342 registered places of worship unconnected with the Established Church, and 624 superintendent registrars' offices, in the quarter that ended September 30th, 1852. The return of marriages is not complete ; but the de fects are inconsiderable, and approximative numbers have been supplied from the records of previous years. The marriages and the births, in nearly the same pro portion, greatly exceed the average number of the season ; and the average of the corresponding quarters of pre vious years is slightly exceeded by the deaths. The registration of the year 1852 is completed, for the births and deaths by the present return. The births were 616,251 in 1851, and 624,171 in 1852. The deaths 395,933 in 1851, and 407,938 in 1852. The average an nual rate of births is 3 . 282 per cent., or nearly one in 30. In 1852 it rose to 3.472 per cent., or one in 29. The average annual rate of deaths is 242 per cent. (rather less than one in 45) ; in 1852 it was 2.269, or slightly above the average (one in 44 nearly). MARRIAGES. 75,682 persons were married in the quarter ending Sept. 1852, giving a considerable excess on the numbers (74,310) married in the corresponding quarter of the pre vious year. The number of marriages was 38,291,whi1e in 'the summer quarters of 1840-3 the number of mar riages never exceeded 29,397, and in 1842 fell so low as 27,288 ; in the summer of 1844 there was a sudden in crease, and in the summer of 1845 the marriage ft timere 35,003 ; in 1847-8 the numbers fell back to 32,439, and rose slowly until the summer of 1849 ; in each of the three succeeding summers (1850-2) the marriages have not been less than 37,155 in number. Nothing proba bly indicates more accurately than these figures the con dition of the people, or the view which they took of their prospects in life during the last 11 summers. The rate of marriage is still high in Londen, and the marriages were 7,109 in the last, 7,345 in the previous, Sept. quarter, whereas they amounted only to 5,747 in the corresponding quarter of 1848. The marriages in creased in all the south-eastern counties. In the south midland division the marriages were nearly stationary. In Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, the marriages also in creased. In the south-western division the increase of marriages was greatest in Devonshire and Somersetshire was particularly conspicuous in St. Thomas, Newton Abbot, Plymouth, Taunton, Yeovil, and Bath. The marriages increased in each of the west and the north midland counties, particularly in Stroud, Cirencester, Ludlow, and Clun (where a railway has recently been carried), Shrewsbury, Dudley, Worcester, King's Nor ton, Birmingham, Coventry, Warwick, Caistor, Leices ter, Nottingham, where manufactures are actively car ried on. In Cheshire and Lancashire marriages are much more numerous than they were in 1848, but less numerous than they were in 1850 ; in Manchester and Liverpool the marriages are declining. Yorkshire is nearly in the same condition as Lancashire ; the mar riages in the West Riding have not increased to any extent since 1850. In the northern division the mar riages decreased ; .they increased in Wales. BIRTHS. 152,066 births were registered in the last quarter of the year, whereas the numbers in the quarter ending December, 1851, were 149,155. The births registered in London, in the West Midland counties, and in York shire, increased ; in the other divisions the numbers scarcely exceeded those in the previous year. INCREASE OF POPULATION. As the births in the quarter were 152,066, the deaths 99,946, the natural increase was 52,120. The number of emigrants who sailed in the quarter from London was 12,322 ; Plymouth, 1,676 ; Liverpool, 41,317 ; from the three English ports, 55,315. The total numbers who sailed from the ports of the United Kingdom at which there are Government mi.-ration agents, amounted to 57,913. Many who sailed' from other ports are not in the return, and it is well known that a large proportion of the emigrants who sail from Liverpool are by birth Irish. At present it is probable, taking all circumstances into account, that the emigration from England is not equal to its natural increase. The number of emigrants who sailed during the year 1852, from the ports of the United Kingdom at which there are emigration agents, amounted to 350,647, or certainly not less, taking the year through, and other ports into account, than 1,0001. a-day. The price of provisions has increased since last year ; in last three months of 1852 wheat was 40s. sd. a quar ter ; beef, by the carcase, at Leadenhall and Newgate markets, 4d. a c pound ; ;mutton, sd. a pound ; pota toes, (Yorlt - rkents), 105 s. a ton-at :the waterside mar ket, Southwark. In the corresponding three months of 1851 the prices were—wheat, 365. 7d. a quarter; beef, 4d. ; mutton, 42d. perlb. ; potatoes 70s. Potatoes are there fore, through the disease with which they have been in fested, dearer by 50. per cent., wholesale, in London, than they were at the same time last year. It should be recollected that the potato cannot be re placed in the dietary of the people by bread or meat. Fruit and vegetables are indispensable constituents of man's food ; and without a due supply of them to the population, scurvy and malignant diseases of various kinds break out. Turnips, carrots, artichokes, green vegetables, oranges, and lemons, should be procured, where there are means, in towns ; in the country the old practice of drinking herb teas with cream of tartar would be salutary. 7" follows !—"Births; 840 ; deaths, 231. Of the deaths there were registered in October, 70 ; November, 60 ; December, 101. The excess, therefore, is in December, which may be chiefly attributable to the state of the weather, which has been almost constantly wet. Nearly half of the deaths registered in that month have been from disease of the respiratory organs. The deaths from fever of all kinds have been only five in October, six in November, and eight in December, including one fro_n ' malignant fever,' supposed to have been . yellow fever, the deceased having been one of the 9gmeers of the La Plata steam-ship, from the West Indies, which lost several on board from that fever." The registrar of Broughton, Stockbridge, who is a sur geon, says :—" Since the Ist of August last, upwards of 90 cases of fever have been attended by me in East Tytherly alone. Under one roof in two rooms (and one of them a small one) 14 persons sleep. In one room the mother of one family lies delirious, and in the other the mother and daughter of the other both ill of fever. Nuisances surround the cottage ; there is defective drain age on a clay soil. In Broughton fever has raged and is still existing in a very swampy locality." The mortality was below the avera g e in several dis tricts of the South Midland Counties ; but Uxbridge, Peterborough, Huntingdon, and a few other districts were exceptions to the rule. Ware suffered from rheu matic and intermittent fevers ; Waddesdon (Aylesbury) and Higham Ferrers from typhus ; Suffolk and Norfolk were healthier than usual ; in Essex the mortality ex ceeded the average. L ow typ h o i d fever prevaile d i n Rayleigh, Rocbford—the registrar himself had attended 130 cases of low fever. Typhus prevails to a great tent in the solitary parish situated in a valley of South minster, Maldon, in the low village of Horningham, St. Faith ; and in Downham typhus prevailed in the vicinity of a foul pool of water in the parish of Lyng (Norfolk) ; the cause was removed at the instance of the Board of Guardians, and the fever has abated. The dirty ponds which are found all about the country, near farm and other houses, are unquestionably noxious, as is proved by this and many other examples. The registrar Of .. . Mi ddle King's Lynn, where the births of 235 living children were registered, has ascertained that, in the year 1852, 24 still-born children were interred by the sexton. rn Ludham, emigration, the registrar says, appears to have diminished the births. The mortality was below the average in all the south western counties except Wiltshire. The health of North Bradley is in a satisfactory state, which the registrar ascribes to the " larger command of the necessaries of life now possessed even by the poorest." The deaths in the Amesbury sub-district exceed the births, owing to the prevalence of typhus in Bulford and in Amesbury. An airy healthy house has been engaged as a temporary fever hospital by a gentleman in the neighbourhood. Fever prevails in Cerne. In Lyme the sewers have been thoroughly cleansed, and the 'Common Lodging-house Act has been carried out; the deaths have fallen consid erably. Scarlatina has been fatal in Newlyn, St, Columb; dysentery in Falmouth, where the last of 21 deaths from the disease occurred on November 15th. Ilchester is healthy; a friendly society of 240 members, of the average age of 30-35, has lost only two members by death since June, 1849; but at Kington Magna, Wincanton, fever of a very bad type has, within the last three months, made its appearance in the parish. The • cottages are small, crowded, badly ventilated; decayed vegetables and refuse have been allowed to accumulate. In the sixth division the deaths in Herefordshire and Staffordshire are above, while the deaths in the other counties are below, the average. Small-pox has been fatal in Bristol ; the registrar of St. Augustine notices a variety of the disease which has been fatal in Thatched house-lane. Typhus and scarlatina prevail in Webbley. Herefordshire ; measles and hooping-cough in Chin ; and the registrar of Wem, Shropshire, records an instance of fever apparently generated by putrescent matter adja cent to the house. Scarlatina has prevailed in Staf fordshire ; fever and pulmonary complaints have pre vailed in Birmingham. The mortality has been above the average in Stoke-upon-Trent, Wolstanton, and New castle-under-Lyme ; also in Wolverhampton and the dis tricts around. In the North Midland Division, the mortality in the counties of Leicester, Nottingham, and Derby is above, in Lincoln below, the average. The health of Leicester, Grantham, Basford, and Derby has n ot b een good. Scarlatina has been fatal in Loughborough, Spalding, Worksop, and Nottingham, where typhus has also pre vailed. In Cheshire and Lancashire the mortality is above the average; 17,255 people died. Scarlatina has pre vailed in many districts, and typhus in some places has been epidemic. The deaths in Liverpool are fewer, in Manchester more, than is usual. Yorkshire experienced the average rate of mortality ; 10,657 persons died in the quarter. In Leeds and Sheffield the mortality is below the average. Scarlatina, typhus, and small-pox were epidemic in many parts of the county ; 24 deaths from small-pox, 11 from scarla tina, happened in Scarborough. The healthiness of Barnsley is referred to the active employment of the labouring population. The Northern Counties have been less healthy than • usual ; 6,679 deaths have been registered ; scarlatina has extensively prevailed. Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and the districts around, Durham, Carlisle, Cockermouth, and Whitehaven, have lost more than the average number of lives, chiefly, it would appear, from scarlatina. In Wales, 6,005 persons died. Small-pox, through _- the neglect of vaccination has been prevalent and fatal. Parts of Wrexham are in a filthy state, and there epide mics prevail. Cardiganshire, and the other high districts of Wales have been as healthy as usual. The meteorology of this unusual seas* is discussed by Mr- Olaisher, as follows : "The daily temperature was beTOW - its average' , inliuf till October 19, and it was alternately in excess and defect from October 20 to October 29. On October 30 a period of weather set in, of higher temperature and longer continuance, 'at this season of the year, than any on record. The mean temperature of the month of November was 48 deg. 9 min., being 61 deg. in excess of the average of so years ; during which period one instance only of a higher temperature has taken place, viz., in 1818, when the average temperature of this month was 49 deg. The mean temperature of December was• 47 deg. 6 min., exceeding the average of the month by no less than 84 deg., and being of higher tem perature than any December so far as our records extend. The nearest approach to this value was in 1806, when the mean temperature of December was 46 deg. 8 min. The quarter has been remarkable for a continuanee of heavy falls of rain, which characterised the preceding quarter. In some places as much rain has fallen within this quarter as occasionally falls in the entire year. The fall in the year has greatly exceeded its average, amount ing to 50 inches in depth nearly, in the counties of Corn wall and Devonshire ; between 30 and 40 inches at most inland places ; and exceeding 58 inches at both Stonyhurst and North Shields. During the whole of the quarter the weather has been unsettled, the reading of the barometer has been subjected to great and fre quent fluctuations, and has been generally low ; the amount of water mixed with the air, in the shape of vapour, notwithstanding the continued rain, has been that only due to the season, and, therefore, on account of the much higher temperature than usual, the degree of humidity has been less than that common to the sea son. The mean temperature of the air at Greenwich for the quarter ending November, constituting the three autumn months, was 51 deg. 2 min., being 1 deg. 9 min. above the average of 80 years." STATE OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH. 99,946 deaths were registered during the last quarter of the year 1852. In the corresponding quarter oflBsl the deaths were 99,248. The annual rate of mortality in the last quarter is at the rate of 2 . 197 per cent., which is higher than the average rate, or than the mor tality in the corresponding quarters of 1842-45, and in 1848, in 1850-51, but much lower than 2.545 and 2'389, the rates of morality in 1846-47. On dividing the country into two large divisions, the first of 117 districts, comprising the chief towns, and a population of 7,795,882, the second of 506 districts, having a population of 10;126,886, it is found that the mortality in the town districts was, during the quarter, at the rate of 2 . 514 per cent. per annum, which is below the average (2.579), while the mortality in the country districts was at the rate of 1 . 982 per cent. per annum, or somewhat above the average of the corresponding quarter (1-941). The unfavourable condition still prevailing in the towns is, however, too evident ; to every four deaths out of a given number living in the country, five deaths occurred out of an equal number living in the towns during the last quarter ; and on an average, out of equal numbers living, four die in the towns during autumn to every three who die in the country. The causes by which this mortality is wrought affect the whole organ isation of children, and must ultimately produce a dege neration of large numbers of the English race. But there is apparently no reason why, by the use of the same or more efficient means, the health of all the town populations should not be improved to the same extent as the health of the navy. The work would be greater ; so would the benefit and the glory. It is evident, how ever, that, though her Majesty's Government may con tribute to this happy change in the public health, by proposing and carrying out good laws, they can only be successful in measures involving an infinite number of details by the energetic action of the authorities and of the people living in towns, where human life is now so much impaired and shortened. In London the mortality was below the average. 13,681 deaths were registered in the December quarter. 2,851 of the deaths were referred to zymotic diseases, 74 to small-pox, 121 to measles, 952 to scarlatina (which has been unusually fatal), 343 to diarrhoea, 14 to cholera, 41 to influenza, 654 to typhus (136 less than in the year preceding). Erysipelas, fatal in 67 instances, was also less prevalent than usual. The deaths from diseases of variable and uncertain seat, as well as from tubercular diseases, fluctuate little ; thus the deaths from cancer in London during the five last autumns were 240, 242, 219, 223, and 228 ; deaths from consumption 1,456, 1,473, 1,455, 1,737, and 1,662. The cause of the considerable increase in the deaths from consumption during the last two "autumns is unknown. 1,492 . per sons died from diseases of the brain (which v s ary i e n d con o - f siderably from year to year), 8 above n di the usual apoplexy, 238 of paralysis, 118 number) from epilepsy. 517 deaths (40 ere referred to B to ro dis nrhi s t es of the lungs and other organs diseases of the heart and blo o o s d o - f ve r s e s: ra , were 0 3 n 5 . 9 was deaths. Hernia, ileus, intussusception, and stricture the cause of 1,006 deaths, pneumonia of 1,0326 of the intestinal c anal were fatal in 109 instances, a num b er on e-fourth above the avera g e. 115 mothers died in childbirth, 46 by . metria (or puerperal fever), and 69 by .other diseases incidental to that state. The births in London during the quarter were about 20,482, conseque ntly one mot her died to every 178 child ren born alive. The deaths from carbuncle and p hle g mon (23), though not considerable, are more numerous than in the autumn quarter of 1851, and twice as numerous as in the previous autumns (1848-50). 20 deaths were referred dire ctl y to intem p er ance ; 26 to delirium tre mens ; 54 to the want of breast milk; two to privation : one to cold ; 26 to poison ; 66 to burns and scalds. 93 deaths were referred to hanging, strangling, and suffo cation ; and the number's from these causes has rapidly increased of late from 22 in the autumn of 1848 to 41, 54, 55, and 93 in the autumns succeeding. 108 deaths by drowning have also been registered in the quarter, or 50 more than the average of the correspond ing quarter. The mortality in Surrey, Sussex, and Hampshire was below the average ; in Kent about, in Berkshire above, the average. The deaths in Reigate during the last three autumns were 44, 51, 68 ; in Croydon 132, 132, 176. In Kingston, Dartford, and the Medway, the mortality was much below the average ; so also was it in Margate, Ramsgate, Brighton, and Hastings. In Dover the deaths were 193—the mortality high ; in Portsea Island, Southampton, and Winchester, the deaths also exceeded the average number. Tile banks tality in nearly all the districts of Berkshire , on the D of the Thames, was above the average ; scarlatina pre vailed. The registrar's note on Southampton is as AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS' STRIKE IN SOUTH WILT SHIRE.—The effects of the tide of emigration, which has for some time past carried away from English shores large bodies of our labouring population, has already been felt in Wiltshire and the adjoining counties. The labourers at Barford, Codford, and Fovant, with scarcely an exception, have left work, and have waited on the farmers by deputation, demanding an advance from 7s. to 9s. per week. The farmers seem not unwilling to ad vance slightly upon the old rate of wages, but the peas antry refuse to make any concession, and resolutely O nan Mond a y de clarelasttht h e e p y a r w i s i i h l h e a f v B e a 9 r s I . o a r d w S e e t k . M or a nr t n h i presentedn g. un usually excited appearance, in consequence of a body of .labourers, numbering fromlso to 200, assembling in the farm-yard of Mr. Swetman, a large farmer in the parish. Mr. Swetman had to fill the dung-cart himself, his la bourers having joined the strike, and was so engaged when the men surprised him in his own homestead ; however, they were exceedingly peaceable, merely stat ing their determination to get the advance they asked, and to obtain a Friday instead of a Saturday night's settlement. Whole bodies of men who had joined the strike then proceeded from farm to farm, and ultimately the rector of the parish, the Hon. and Rev. S. Walde. grave, was called upon to endeavour to compromise the matter. The rev. gentleman set about his task with the earnest desire of benefitting both pat des, but his recom mendation of a uniform rate of wages of Bs. per week, thus " splitting the difference," was scornfully rejected by the men. Matters remain up to the present in the same state. AGRICULTURE AND POTTERY.—The congress of the de legates of the learned societies of the departments was occupied on Saturday w ith some ques tions connected with agriculture. Cou n t d e Vi gn e r al brought forward the question of sheep breeding, and, after some discus sion, the congress came to the decision that the merino race ought as much as possible to be kept purein France, and that the flesh of the French race would be improved for food by a cross with the English race. M. de la Fresnaye read a paper on the osteology of birds, and on the modifications to be perceived in their skeletons ac cording to their manner of living. The question was then examined as to whether "the ceramic art could not receive a new impulse in the departments by means of the Academical Societies." M. de Caumont observed that formerly Lisieux possessed a celebrated pottery, where.' at present nothing was more ordinary than the war" manufactured there. M. d'Elruc said that the manu facture under discussion had gaine d much g round at Forges les-Eaux (geine - Inf 4 rieure) . A large quran tity of the pottery from that place was even expo _ to England. M. Bordeau sa id that the pottery o ( f Lisieux was in the 16 th an d 17th centurty a e t s s t'e a e l e i m s e o f nearly equal to that of Palissy. presen , b c n u a lo , si u t f ies p , a d ii i s sh sy e , s w w b e e re u ul f . req rsa ue li n t t y ly t s b o e l y in d aid d m b a e d e e n y ms . n e u r- - factured at Lisieux.

St. Germain-de-la-Poterie, near Beauvais, mentioned by Rabelais, was not only cele brated for its ware, but for its tiles for paving churches. M. Rame said that an immense impulse could be given t o the ceramic art in France by giving up to it the de coration of the floors of chapels, as was practised in the middle ages in the north of France, and in following the banks of the Loire to Angers. The English at present, M. Rame said, possessed three manufactories of tiles intended for buildings, to which they gave the name of Norman tiles, in allusion to those formerly manufactured in such quantities in Normandy.—Gdignarti.

The essential object of this tre. - -tise is to point otf. the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrat_d schools of medicine both in this country and In continental Einoue. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under tha personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the .ew legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and or divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases inciden-al to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultirnete cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dl'. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficle . nt guarantee that those who may place themselves under his cure will, in every instance, meet with that delicate considerat.on and Inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.

ALWAYS PLEASING because EVER NEW. To every observer of E. MOSES and SON'S scale of business in I.ondon and the Country, it is plain that a New Stock may be produced every day. To sore this might seem like exaggeration; by others it might be regarded as a commercial embellishment; but E. MOSES and SON never employ fictitious allusions, for they are always prepared to prove every statement they make by the articles tuey present. The artistes in their employ are each in his depart ment fully acquainted with every British introduction, and, aided by foreign communications on every change of style, thus tore they dally producing novelties adapted to the season—such as insure grace and comfort, are there new styles of Overcoats, a..d number less garments to wear as Coats or Overcoat as mar be desired there are articles the design and style of which are exclusively theirs. A cursory inspection will afford the highest gratification ; and the neatness, comfort, and set vice secured by these ingenious contrivances will prove more than ever satisfactory ; but the prices of every description of Dress, Hosiery, Fars, &c., kc , &c., in conse wience of ye y auspicious arrangements, and charged so hew that imitation Is an entire impossibility. Sporting, Dress, and Juvenile Attire, either ready made or to measure, excels any which can be had elsewhere, and is charged considerably less prices. EMIGRATION. There are many reasons why Emigration will become increas ingly popular, and why all who intend to make Australia their fu ture residence, should immediately arrange for the selection of ,heir Outfits, this being indispensable business for all Emigrants ; and if transacted at E. MOSES and SON'S, is the highest advantage to every class of Emigrants, male or female—all the goods being ex pre:sly prepared for their use on their voyage and after their arrival and being such only as are absolutely required, prove a great saving of time and money to thousands anticipating a voyage to " The Land of Health and Wealth." E. MOSES and SON keep a separa Department for Outihting, but it communicates with their immeme Wholesale Store, and the several sections of their Massive Establish ment, comprising Clothing, Hosiery, Boot and Shoe Making, flatting, and other branches of business, where snperior quality and low charges give Emigrants advantages to be found at no other lionse in the universe.

FREE CANCER HOSPITAL. Yesterday the annual general meeting of the Free Cancer Hospital was held at the establishment, Bromp ton—the Hen. Colonel Ogilvy in the chair. Previous to the meeting taking place, the company were made acquainted with the details of the hospital by personal inspection, and the internal arrangements for the comfort and convenience of the patients appeared to give general satisfaction. Though the building is small, it has been made available to the utmost extent of its dimensions, and every facility has been afforded to the medical officers to deal successfully with the fear ful maladyior the alleviatiowand cure of which the hos pital has been established. Diagrams were exhibited of most of the serious cases which had been brought under treatment, and one glance at them was sufficient to convince the most cursory observer that an institution like this must confer a great boon on suffering humanity, as well as materially add to the advancement of scientific inquiry in a branch of disease which has hitherto baffled the skill of the most eminent men in the profession. It is impossible to conceive any bodily affliction more appalling than cancer, attacking, as it frequently does, the most tender and delicate parts of the frame, defying eradication even by the most painful operations, and gradually consuming, with fatal certainty, the strength and bodily substance of the agonised patient. There can not, therefore, be two opinions as to the humanity which actuated those who, seeing that no hospital existed in this vast metropolis, exclusively devoted to the reception of poor persons afflicted with cancer, should have undertaken the difficult task of found ing one. Having succeeded in their object, not withstanding considerable opposition, it is to be hoped the charitable public will not be backward in tendering to them a liberal amount of support. The annual report which was read to the meeting by the secretary, stated that, owing to the liberality of the subscribers, the committee were enabled to take the house at Brompton at 631. per annum ; and, in Nov. last, it was opened for the reception of 23 in-patients. The premises and the situation were considered so well adapted for the purpose by the medical officers, that it was contemplated to purchase the land, and to extend the accommodation for patients to 60 beds. tip to the present time, 371 patients had been under treatment. The subscriptions and donations amounted to 2,842/. 19s. 4d., but there had been necessarily a heavy out lay in repairing, entirely furnishing, and otherwise adapting the premises for an hospital. The commit tee trusted that, by the study of a great variety of cases, concentrated in one building, a deeper know ledge of cancerous diseases might be attained. The medical report stated that, according to the experience of 300 cases, the average age at which mankind was at tacked by cancer was 43 years. There were a greater number of sufferers among females than males, the for mer being stol of the latter—a conclusion somewhat different from that arrived at by the return of deaths of the Registrar-General, which showed there were 3 fe males to 1 male. Great anxiety had been shown by the children of cancer patients to know whether they in herited the disease from their parents. At present that question had not been satisfactorily answered by the medical profession. The records of the hospital, though at present insufficient to decide the point, led to the con-. elusion that hereditary taint is by no means a necessary law of cancer ; and the circumstance, that the disease did not multiply its victims as those subject to it multiplied their families, would be a consolation t' those having relations who had suffered from the malady. The microscope had rendered some aid in having shown the presence of two kinds of living animalculw in cancerous ulcers, especially of the tongue. This was a discovery of much physiological interest. Though the operations performed had not been numerous, they had all been successful. It is thought best to give no positive opinion for some time, in order to speak with more certainty on the much-vexed question of operation or no operation. The number of out-patients was 371, being 68 males, and 303 females ; the in-patients numbered 23, being 7 males, and 16 females. Of the out-patients, 52 had been discharged cured, or relieved, 5 had been successfully operated upon, 15 had discontinued their attendance, and 14 had died. Of the in-patients, 7 had been discharged cured or relieved, 3 had been success fully operated upon, and 1 had died. The report and statement of accounts were unani mously adopted, and ordered to be printed. The committee for managing the affairs of the hos pital during the ensuing year were re-elected, as were also the treasurer, Mr. J. Parkinson, and the auditors. Dr. R. Chambers, the consulting physician ; Dr. Marsden, the surgeon ; and Mr. Weeden Cooke, the assistant surgeon, were then re-appointed to their respective offices. Dr. CHAMBERS and Dr. MARSDEN returned thanks. Mr. COOKE, ,in acknowledging his re-appointment, said he believed a. very great deal of good had already been done by the charity. As an immense number of patients, suffering from this peculiar disease had been brought together, they had an opportunity of studying its various phases, and of seeing the effect with greater certainty of the various remedies which had the repu tation of relieving the dire disorder, and of those other remedies which theythemselves thought might be usefully resorted to. By such a combination of theory and prac tise in their treatment of the disorder, they hoped to con fer some benefit on society; and if not to cure, to even tually relieve the poor creatures placed under their care, and enable them to return to their occupations and fami lies. The committee were very liberal in their supply of good things for the nourishment of the patients, such as beer, wine, and meat, which were so necessary in a disease that worked so much on the constitution. The re-election of the Rev. Thos. Pearson, incumbent of St. Mary's, West Brompton, as honorary chaplain, the re-appointment of the secretary, and a vote of thanks to the committee and lady subscribers, concluded the business of the day. Dr. MARSDEN, in moving a vote of thanks to the Hon. Col. Ogilvy for his conduct in the chair, said he thought the statements which the committee had made in re ference to their efforts, must be highly gratifying to every friend of the charity. Certainly a more zealous or hard-working committee could not be found in con nection with any hospital in London. He trusted that the medical report would also be considered satisfactory, but it should be borne in mind that great caution bad to be observed in making a report of the cases which came under the notice of the institution, for however success ful they might be in the treatment of the malady, there were those connected with the profession who would laugh and scoff at them if they dared to say there was a cure for the diSease, or even ventured to assert that they had cured a single case. They were determined, however, not to be deterred by any opposi tion, whether it came from the medical profession or any other body of scientific men, for they had made up their minds to do everything that lay in their power to dis cover, if not a certain remedy, at least some means of alleviating the sufferings of those who were afflicted with generallyteen yoc e had desired, trdhg gave not d e , dis though e s disease i a its v the horrible malady, and if they only succeededlin doing n this, he conceived they would do. some service to the community. It was well known that the disease as sumed various forms ; some cases were considered truly cancerous, others of a doubtful nature. The latter . to remedies, but the true cases of r de o r f iv p e a d ti m en u t c s h , ve yet yielded to medical skill to the extent e w rY or gr st e f a o t rm n , u h m a b d7 benefit by their mode of treatment. He hoped that in the course of a year or two they would be able to pre sent a report which would throw an entirely new light on the malady, for he felt satisfied it was yet within the scope of medical science not only to cure it, but to eradicate it from the constitution. That, at least, was his opinion, and he hoped to live long enough to see his hopes realised. (Hear, hear.) The motion was then put to the meeting, and carried. The CHAIRMAN, in acknowledging the compliment, said he thought the community at large were greatly in debted to the medical officers who had, gratuitously, and at great inconvenience to themselves, given the institu tion the benefit of their learning, skill; and experience. He had no doubt they would succeed in alleviating much of that human suffering which was occasioned by the dire malady of cancer. The meeting then separated. It was announced that the Rev. Dr. Wordsworth, canon of Westminster, was so satisfied with the useful ness of the hospital, hat he intended shortly to deliver a charity sermon with the view of increasing its funds. MEDICAL REMIINERATION.—We cannot help noticing ' an advertisement in an Edinburgh paper, which inti mates that a medical officer is wanted for the parish of Dryfesdale, in the county of Dumfries. Salary, 201. per annum. To offer a man who has passed through a long and expensive education, and whose duties, in a country place especially, must be of the most harassing and la borious description, wages that an errand lad would at once reject, deserves the strongest condemnation. — I-Greenock Advertiser. SPAIN. The Madrid journals, of the 27th ult., contain no political news of importance. The Madrid Gazette copies part of a long article, which appeared first in the Espana, in praise of the Empress of the French. A Madrid letter mentious a rumour that Queen Isabella intends to send to the Empress as a pre sent an imperial crown of brilliants. The Court of Spain has, by order of the Queen, gone into mourning for a week for the late Arch duke Regnier. The French ambassador at the Court of Madrid, has received numerous congratulations on the union of his imperial master with a young, noble, and beautiful Spaniard. A grand entertainment was given by, the ambassador in honour of the event, which was attended by the elite of the foreigners at present attached to the Spanish court. The Corona, of Madrid, of the 27th ult., states that the Duchess of Alba has sent eight beautiful Spanish horses as a present to her sister, the Em press of the French. The Three per Cents, were done at 40# ; the New Three per Cents. at 22i ; the Debt of the first class at 10, and that of the second class at sg. AUSTRIA. The King of Prussia has sent to the Emperor of Austria, as a souvenir of his visit to Berlin, a mag nificent dinner service. It was packed in 16 cases, and has been much admired by the Emperor. A letter from Klagenfurth, i a the Austrian States, announces that, on the 19th, two English travellers, Mr. Sharpe and Mr. Thompson, ascended to the summit of the Gross-Glockier, the highest moun tain of Elyria, which is 2,894 yards above the level of the sea. This was the second time the summit of the mountain has been visited ; the first ascent to it was made 50 years ago by M. Warlopf, an Austrian geologist. Owing to the mildness of the temperature, Mr. Sharpe and Mr. Thompson sunk to their knees in the snow which covers the upper part of the Gross-Glockner, and were obliged to throw off their greatcoats. Whilst at the top of the mountain their guides played at cards. The sale of artillery horses at Pesth, which had been ordered by the Austrian Government at the time when the reduction of the army was talked of, has been postponed. tellers - from Trieste, in the Parlamento of Turin, state that Austria continues to send troops into Dalmatia, the affairs of Montenegro taking a seri ous turn. A letter from Vienna of the 27th ult., in the Frankfort Post Gazette, announces that the corps of observation on the frontier of Montenegro, which is to be commanded by Field Marshal Jellachich, consists of 12,000 men. The Lloyds of Vienna, a semi-official journal, has the following on the expedition of the Turks against the Montenegro : "In the war which the Ottoman Porte is preparing against the Montenegrins, Austria cannot confine herself to looking on passively. In the first instance, we are bound to accord hospitality to those who may take refuge on our territory from the sword of the pitiless Omar Pacha. It is certain that the events of the war will im pose sacrifices on our population, will cause uneasiness, and will embarrass the operations of commerce. But, apart from these considerations, which bear only on material interests, we cannot forget that the Montene grins are Christians, and the remembrance of the cruelties exercised by Omar Pacha on those of Bosnia and the Herzgovine does not permit us to re main indifferent to the fate of that people. In these circumstances it is important to examine conscien tiously what position treaties have created for Austria as regards Turkey. Austria has always respected reli giously the treaties into which she had entered with Turkey. She comprehends that Turkey exists less by her Own strength than by the reciprocal obligations en tered into by other states to allow her to exist. It must not be forgotten, however, that the entire submis sion of the Montenegro would not be advantageous for the relations of Cattaro with the country, for they can not do without each other. The status quo in the Mon- tenegro must therefore be maintained. Turkey has no yet positively established her domination in the country, which has always enjoyed a certain independence of government and religion. Turkey has never been able to protect the frontiers of a neighbouring country against the excursions of those whom she now claims as her subjects. She has never held herself responsible for those excursions or ever given indemnities. Thus the position of the Montenegro has acquired a national im porance which interests the other powers. The Mon tenegrins have been treated with in a direct manner, because the Ottoman Porte could give no guarantee as to their future conduct. The relations have been regu lated in a satisfactory manner for the population of the two sides of the frontier, and these relations are now menaced by the war that is about to break out. In a religious point of view, it is of the highest importance that the Montenegrins, as a Christian people, should continue to enjoy the liberty of public worship." By the last number of the Dalmatian, Observer, we learn that the Turkish artillery is demolishing the house of Wujatich, the Voivode of Grahovo. According to the Triest Zeitung of the 28th, Wuja tich, with 40 of his men, has fallen into the hands of the Turks. Reis Pasha had been driven from his position near Ostroga by Prince Daniel. It is added that the two last reports require confirma tion. In Tzernitza (this should certainly be Tzerm nitska—Tzernitzka is a river in that district) where 2,000 Montenegrins are opposed to 12,000 Turks, " the former are always victorious." In Pod goritza, where Omer Pasha is said to command in person, a Greek priest has been beheaded ; in the Nahia Tzermnitska nine Christian children have been killed. It must be observed that, although the accounts are favourable to the Montenegrins, it is much feared here that Montenegro will be occupied by the Turks before General Leiningen's mission can be accomplished. Things have much changed here. A few years since the Montenegrins were honoured with the epithets of " robbers," "bandits," "savage brutes," (wilde Bestien); now they are " persecuted is Christians." GERMANY. The Order of the Red Eagle of Prussia is in the form of a cross ; but the King has just decided that, in order not to offend the religious convictions of Jews, the decorations, destined for them, shall re present the sun, with, in the centre on one side, a red eagle on enamel, and in the centre on the other side the letters in gold "F. W. R." (Frederick William Rex.) The Duchy of Holstein havin g been for some time past infested with bands of malefactors and vagabonds, who committed murders, robberies, and crimes of all kinds, not only in villages but in towns, an immense razzia was simultaneously made a few days ago by detaclunents of police supported by troops. The line of operations extended from the Sea to the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg - Schw erin, and from the Elbe to the Eyder. The result of it was to arrest 2,800 suspicious characters, and amongst them, a band of brigands whi ch had been in existence for 22 years. The head-quarters of this band were at F 4 lmshorn, and its ramifications extended to the centre of Germany. A fire broke out in the night of the 21st at Friedland, in Bohemia, which destroyed 200 houses. The damage is estimated at 100,000 florins (about 230,000 fr.) ~~~ -L • NOTICE. AIRS.
