Such a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked end DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of assurance which can bo u niversally recd sized and adopted when the principles are impar tially canyassed,%nd its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It confers greater advantages than a bank because it allows a fair rate O f Interest i n case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the, hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor in caselof death, thus combining the ADYANTAGES 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.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in 3lan 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 celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the, personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians' who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical anal academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration 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 London and the Country, it is plain that a New Stock may he produced every day. To some this might seem I.ko 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 they present. The artistes in their employ are each in his depart ment fully acquainted with ever/ British introduction, and, aided by foreign communications on every change of style, thus are they daily 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 may 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 service secured by these ingenious contrivances will prove more than ever satistActory ; but the prices of every description of Dress, Hosiery, Fars, &c., Lee., &c., in conse quence of ve y auspicious arrangements, and charged so lew 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 Mums- ingly popular, and why all who intend to make Australia their fu ture residence, should immediately arrange for the sc , ection of their 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 pressly 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 separate Department for Outfitting, but it communicates with their immense 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 superior quality and low charges give Emigrants advantages to be found at no other House in the universe. Ship-sailing Information and full Lists of Outfits for Ladles and Gentlemen may be had on application, or post-free to any part of the Kingdom. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having fo guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " its the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for •bvious reasons, they beg to state that they hays No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOME IN OE OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minories, 83, 84,85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

All goods are marked in plain figures, the lowest price, from which no abatement can be made. The Establishments are closed from sunset Friday to sunset on Saturdays, when business is resumed till 12 o'clock. A new Book, entitled " The World's Pharos," containing the Emigrant's Assistant, full list of prices, and directions for self-mea surement, may be had on application, or post-free, to any part of the kingdom.

Of th e d eat h s there were registered in October, 70 ; November, 60 ; December, 101. The excess, therefore, is in D ecem b er, 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 II from malignant fever,' supposed to have been yellow fever, the deceased having been one of the engineers 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 moth er an d d aug ht er o f th e 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 average 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. Low typhoid fever prevailed in Rayleigh, Rochford—the registrar himself had attended 130 cases of low fever. Typhus prevails to a great ex 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 h as a b ate d . 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 Mid dle 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. In Ludham emigration, the registrar says, a pp ears t o h ave diminished the births. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 2, 1853. [PRICE 5D . NOTICE. THE FRENCII EMPIRE. VIRS.

Or, The Days We Live In, IS NOW READY. And may be had at all the Libraries, in 3 vols 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 vulgai 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, descending, in this instance, to the gross caricature of an illustrious personage, whose beauty had long previously become, we may say, with truth, universally appreciated. The fol lowing is that to which we have referred " I have just been given to understand that The Sun of Monday has been seized in consequence of an afticle 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. Fould, Ducos, and Magne remain. The' last-named undertakes the Finance department, and is to be succeeded in his present post of Minister of public Works by the Duke de Mouchy. I\l. Tie Morny goes_ lo_the Interior, and M. WaldiVski 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 31e. the killog., first quality, being a reduction of lc. ; the second qua lity remains as it was, at 24c.

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. II 1852 it rose to 3'472 per cent., or one in 29. The average annual rate of deaths is 2 . 242 per cent. (rather less than one in 45) ; in 1852 it was 2'269, or slightly above the average (one in 44 nearly). • Hurst and Biackett, Publishers, successors to Henry Colburn, 13 Great Marlborough-street.

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 will be two direct departures each month from Calcutta for Marseilles, on the 6th and the 20th of each month. The above journal adds 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 - Fe - CirTiidaregd 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 742,783 fr., from 773 accounts, of which 530 were new. The mortality was below the average n 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 excee&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 Clun ; 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, Woistanton, 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, an d D er b y has not been good. Scarlatina has been fatal in Loughborough, Spalding, Worksop, and Nottingham, where typhus has also pre vailed. The Bourse was yesterday as agitated as on Monday ; but, towards the close of business, prices improved.

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 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, an d Whitehaven, ha ve l os t more t h an 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 season is discussed by - Mr. Glaisher, as follows : " The daily temperature was below its average value 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 64 deg. in excess of the average of 80 years ; during which period one instance only of a higher temperature has taken place, viz., in 1818, w h en th e 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 8 deg., and being of hi g h er tem perature than any Decemb er 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 mi xe d w ith t h e 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 endi ng N ovem b er, const i t u ting t h e three , autumn months, was 51 deg. 2 min., being 1 deg. 9 min. above the average of 80 years." cortege; not a serious accident is knowii 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 Patric says :—" The accounts received by the Government are most favourable. In a great number of churches by a spontaneous 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 illuminated on Sunday evening in honour of the marriage of the Emperor. The Prefect of the Seine-Inferienre decided that an extraordinary ration of provisions should be distributed to the persons confined in 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 passed through the crowds of an immense populati on, in the midst of which waved numberl ess b anners of workmen ' s associations. Everywhe re on her passage our young 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, a rrange d i n li ne The magnificent d ecora ti ons o f th e oHoteluAr Ville also attr ac t ed thousands of visitors. Among d o de n eo g p. the most conspi cuous of the illuminations f on Sunday night was that of the Baron Roths child. 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' e e d f r o o n m the . f a a n rm e e x rs cep h t y io d n e , p ha uta v t e io l n e ,d ftw em or a k n , di a n n g d an hav a,d e v w a ai nc t 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 de clare they will have 9 s. a week or nothing. On Monday last the parish of Barford St. Martin presented an un usually excited appearance, in consequence of a body of labourers, numbering from ltiO 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 parties, but his recom mendation of a uniform rate of wages of Ss. per week, thus " splitting the difference," was scornfully rejected by the men. Matters remain up to the present in the samestae AGRICULTURE AND POTTERY.—The congress of the ode legatesccupie d o f o t n h e Saturday wi societies thsom of e the departments eonnee w ted as with as Count de Vigneral 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 pure in France, and that the flesh of the French race would be improved for food by a cross with the English race.

Tgiven to th e trade of Paris by the late The impuls e imperial fetes is said to have proved highly satisfactory to the bourgeoisie. The etiquette at official balls and receptions requiring gentlemen to wear embroidered coats and vests has caused the ladies pmonat costly rivalry in thei r t o il e tt es , an d already an enormous demand h as been created for al articles o f a tti re f or both sexes. A perfumer, wh o h as 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 perfumery 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 Rivoli 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 Extraordinary of France at Constantinople. He is about to proceed to Toulon, to embark on board the Eclaireur steamer for his post. The appointment of M. Breni er t o Constan tinople may be fairly regarded as a fresh tender of peace.

Eresnaye 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 irt 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, whereas at present nothing was more ordinary than the ware manufactured there. M. d'Elruc said that the manu facture under discussion had gained much ground at Forges les-Eaux (Seine-Inf4rieure). A large quan tity of the pottery from that place was even exported to England. M. Bordea,u said that the pottery of Lisieux was in the 16th and 17th century esteemed nearly equal to that of Palissy. At present, at sales of curiosities, dishes were frequently sold as made by Ber nard, of Palissy, when in reality they had been manu factured at Lisieux. Rouen in t he 17th c entury was famous for a species of white delf with blue ornaments, marked by great correctness and richness of design. Alsace also formerly possessed an extensive pottery, known by the name of Cailloux, of Strasburg, but it is now quite extinct. 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 to the ceramic art in France by giving up to it the de coration of the floors of chapels, as was practised in the M. banks o Rame f the said, possessed Loire to Ang m iddle ages in the north o f France , and in following the English at p o r f es t e i n le t s , Angers.

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 F renc h. A Madrid letter mentions 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, i)y- 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 40i ; the New Three per Cents. at 22i ; the Debt of the first class at 10, and that of the .second class at 511. 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 packedi nl6 cases, and has been much admired by the Emperor. A letter from Klagenfurth, in the Austrian States, announces that, on the 19th, two English travellers, Mr. Sharpe and Mr. Thompson, ascended to the summit of the Gross-Glockner, 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. Letters from Trieste, in the Parlarnento 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 Jellacllich, consists of 12,000 men. The Lloyds of Vienna, a semi-official journal, has he following on the expedition of the Turks against he 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 th 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 intb 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 not 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 portance 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 2000 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 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 having 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 detachments of police supported by troops. The line of operations extended from the Sea to the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwer in., 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 which had been in existence for 22 years. The head-qmtrters of this band were at Ehushorn, 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.) FREE CANCER HOSPITAL. Yesterday the annual general meeting of the Free Cancer Hospital was held at the establishment, Bromp ton—the Hon. 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 malady for the alleviation and cure of which the hos larhas 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. Up to the present time, 371 patients had been under treatment. The subscriptions and donations amounted to 2,8421. 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 mlededgieoaelfrocpaonrtcesrtoautseddtihseaatseasoomoridgihntg b t e o a th tt c a , .in ex ed pe . rie T n h ce e 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 5 to 1 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 clusion 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 to 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 animalcule; 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 they themselves 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 hi 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 had 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 the horrible malady, and if they only succeededlin doing 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 generally gave way to remedies, but the true cases of cancer had not yet yielded to medical skill to the extent they desired, though a very great number of patients, who had the disease in its worst form, had derived much 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 caiTied. 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 ha - d t po doubt they would succeed in alleviating much of that. human suffering which was occasioned by the dire malady of cancer. The meeting then separated.

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.-- Greenock Advertiser. 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 marriages were 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 1950 ; 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 iii 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 emigration 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 852, from the ports of the United Kingdom at which there are emigration agents, amounted to 350,647, or certainly not less, taking th e 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 pound ; mutton, 51d. a pound ; pota toes, (York regents), 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, 41d. per lb. ; p o t a t oes 70 s . P o t atoes 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 var i ous 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. • STATE OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH. 99,946 deaths were registered during the last quarter of the year 1852. In the corresponding quarter of 1851 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, 634 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 °fele 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 vary die in d con o - f siderably from year to year), 288 p above the usual referred to ed apoplexy, nomh er) from m 8 of paralysis,epilepsy. 51 517 deaths (40 w ere of the lungs and other orga n diseases of the heart and bloodvessels, a 2 ti , o 3 n s . 9 B to ro d n is e e h a i s t e is s i l re O us o6 ,. i d o e t a us tli s s o , se p e n p e ti u o m t4 oni an a d of stri l, e o t 3 u 2 r 6 e the in t c eH a s u te s ir on e was d o f ea t t h h e s. ailao'fcanal Niue fatal in 109 instances, a number one-fourth above the average. 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, consequently one mother died to every 178 children born alive. The deaths from carbuncle and phlegmon (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 directly to intemperance ; 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 numbe rs f rom t h ese causes has rapidly increased of late from 22 in the autumn of 1848 to 41, 54, 55, and 93 in the autumns succeeding. 103 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 Portsev. Island, Southampton, and Winchester, the deaths also exceeded the average number. The mor tality in nearly all the districts of Berkshire, on the banks of the Thames, was above the average ; scarlatina i pre vailed. The registrar's note on Southampton s as
