IRE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAN* EVENING, NOVEMBER 18, 18517. THE INDIAN MUTINIES. agent, when he was stopped by the guard. I hope it has been contradicted." THE FALL OF DELHI. We have been honoured with the following pri vate let ter : _ MITSSOORIE. The following is from a lady at Mussoorie, dated September, 24 : My deareet—,— You will by this time have heard that Delhi is once more in our possession, but the good news cannot give you half the pleasure that it gave us. On the 14th the assault commenced, and on the 21st the town was completely in our hands. The bloodshed on both sides has been very great, bat no official lists have yet been sent up here, though, of course, we have heard the names of most of those killed and wounded. Among the officers Edward Hildebrand was the first killed on our side, but I think I told you of his death in my last. We have as yet heard no particulars of the fight, for the let• ters which have been received up here were only a few lines to say the writers were safe. They have not much time for writing just now, poor fellows I We think the rains are nearly over now, which will be a great thing for the troops. Hitherto great numbers have been ear ned off by cholera, fever, &c. ; but directly the rains are over the air begins to freshen, and in October it is very healthy even in the plains. 25tb.—To-day the official returns of those killed have reached us. We have lost 65 officers and 1,163 men. General Wilson has now only 1,500 Europeans left with him. I was sorry to see among the names that of En sign Gambier, who wrote the account of his escape from Delhi to Meerut which I sent home and desired H--- to forward to you. He joined the force before Delhi only a few days before the assault. The first account we beard when the Palace was taken was that the King and Royal family had made their escape to a village a few miles off ; but to-day we hear that he has given himself up. I will not vouch for the truth of this. I 'wonder what will be done with him ; people think there will be no peace while he is alive and in this country. Three regiments of mutinous Sepoys escaped from the town during the assault, and have betaken themselves to Rohilcand. They are now at Muzuffernugger, much too near us to be pleasant ; they have sent a force from Meerut to dislodge them, but we have not yet heard of the result. They (the rebels) are between us and Meerut. I hcpe they will not take it into their heads to make a rash up here. We have no tidings of the success of Havelock's march to relieve Laelenow ; but all communication with the Lower Pro vinces has now been cut off. All our letters go up to " Lahore, and then down to Bombay—rather a long w ay round, as you will see if you look at the map. How for tunate for us that the Punjaub has continued quiet ? Sir J. Lawrence, the chief commissioner, is 'a most able and energetic man, equal to his post. Mr. Ci lvin, cur lieutenant-governor, died lately at Agra. Mr. J. P. Grant is spoken of as his successor ; his appointment (should it take place) will give great dissatisfaction, as he is totally unacquainted with the north-west, and a great deal too much of a fine gentleman. It is not ge nerally thought that is such times as these, when the north-west is one great battle-field, the governorship should have been given to a military man. Of course I know nothing of all this ; I only repeat other people's opinions. A few days ago our people had a braih with some insurgents at a place called Sharanpore, and I &el sorry to say they were beaten off, through the mis conduct of some of the Ghoorkas; however, they will be at them again by this time. Sharanpore is close to this—just through the pass a little to the right, and Muzuffernugger just beyond It ; so you see our amiable friends the Pandies are much nearer than they were before. We don't want them up here, for our little band is being reduced. Fifteen officers (convalescents.) were ordered down to Delhi yesterday. They start on Monday. How they are to get down seems a pro blem, but I suppose they will make a long detour through the hills ; the direct road they cannot go. I hope they will all reach safely, but I am very much afraid they will not. " 25th.—We have to-day heard that the two eons of the King and ono of his grandsons have been captured and shot, and their bodies have been hung up. The King of Delhi has been paraded, in order to disgrace him. His ultimate fate seems uncertain. He is a very old man. We have heard today, too, that when the force from Meerut reached Muzuffernugger the rebels had evacuated the place, and not one wag to be seen. This is good news for us. Teelay, or rather to-night, the hazier is illuminated by order of the commandant, Colonel Lestrange. We passed through it an hour ago, and it promised to be a very pretty sight. A salute of 21 guns was fired, and altogether we are in better spirits. "About the Ist of this month Brigadier Nichol m went out with a force and completely routed a large force of the enemy, taking 13 guns. About this time the siege-train of heavy guns arrived from the Punjaub. Up to this time we were acting en tirely on the defensive. We had not sufficient means with us to commence the siege, and it was all wa could do with our small force to repel the numerous attacks of the enemy. That time was, I think, the worst part of the whole. We were often on duty three nights of every week, making defen sive works. When once we began the siege we knew we should soon take the place, which kept us up to any work. On the Bth of Sept. large working par ties from all the regiments in camp paraded at the Engineer-park, taking tools with them. We marched down to within 300 yards of the walls and bastions of the city. The men were employed in filling sandbags, and making the ground ready for the batteries. Previous to this for about a fort night we had to go out at night with large work ing and covering parties, and cut all the trees where the works were intended to be. That was the worst part of all, stumbling about all night in the long rank jungle, sometimes five feet high, wet through with the dew, and frequently attacked by the enemy. On the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th the batteries were completed. They were immensely large, built up to the bottom of the embrasures of solid faseines, 1,500 camels were employed nightly in carrying down the fassiues. Strange to say, the enemy did not tire on us much while building the batteries. We were almost all of us on duty three nights running. On the 12th the batteries opened fire, when, after see ing the first salvo knock down large pottions of the Cashmere bastion, I was so tired that I lay downaud slept during the roar of the guns for three or four hours. There were four batteries, one of them having 20 heavy guns and howitzers. The walls seemed to crumble before the weight of metal, after two days' firing two breaches were made and a great part of the parapet stripped off the wall. One sanding battery was within 200 yard of then Water Bastion. The fire of musketry from the walls of the town at this bastion was tremendous. The guns were obliged to have iron mantlets fixed on them to protect the men while working the guns. I was in the battery when poor Captain Fagan, of the Artillery, was shot through the head with a musket ball. He would expose himself, though frequently warned. He used to get up and look over the mantlets to lay his guns better. Captain 'Taylor, Engineers, managed the attack admirably. He was the director of the attack. On the night of the 13th he and Lieutenants Medley and Lang, Engineers, with two or three riflemen, crept up-to the ditch and ascertained that the breaches were practicable, and got back again without being seen. Captain Taylor instantly determined on the assault for the following morning. There were five columns of attack. Two or three En gineer officers were told off to each by seniority. Tee seniors went with the first column, the next with the second ; so Ward and myself, the unfor tunate juniors (Carnegie and Forbes being sick), had to go with the fifth column or reserve ; so I do not consider that we had so much danger, though the fire was rather sharp when we went in. All the Engineer officers in the other columns, except Home, Lang, and Thomason, were wounded. We paraded about 3 o'clock in the morning of the 4th witit our separate columns, with Sappers, with powder-bags, &e., and marched down to the attack. It was just daylight when the first column halted at a turn in the road which concealed them from view of the walls, but Aso to the Cashmere-gates. Lieu tenants Salkeld and Home, sergeants Carmichael, Burgess, Smith, and four Sappers and a bugler of "her Majesty's 52d Regiment advanced from the column up to the Cashmere-gate. It was an im mensely heavy wooden gate, flanked on all sides by the walls. Home laid the powder at the foot of the gate. They were instantly discovered, and a heavy fire opened on them from all sides. Sergeant Car michael took the fuse and was on the point of firing when he was shot dead by a sepoy, who placed his musket through a hole in the wall. Sergeant Burgess took the fuse from his hand, and was likewise shot deed. Lieutenant Salkeld then took the fuse, and was shot through the arm and fell into the ditch, break ing his leg by the fall. As he fell he threw up the fuse, which Sergeant Smith seized, and fired the charge. At the same time the bugler sounded the advance, and on rushed the column. The chargeblew in the gate, and about 17 of the enemy whowere close to it. Our troops rushed in, up the bastions and along the walls. At the same time the second and fourth columns attacked by the breaches, and the wads were cleared of all the defenders. The Cashmere-gate presented a horrible sight ; 30 or 40 Sepoys, some blown up and others bayonetted and shot down, were lying all about. It was the same all along the walls. No quarter was given ; but they made very little defence, and retired into the city, where they again made a stand. I went into the bastion. Such a scene of ruin you never saw. Almost every gun was dismounted, or had a great piece of iron knocked out of it, and dead Sepoys all around. The troops took up their quarters in the college and church, but the enemy fired on us all night. We made a battery by the college, and commenced shelling the town and palace. We lost most of our men in the town. They advanced too far without support, and were fired at from the walls and houses. Our losses from the 14th to the 20th were 64 officers and 1,380 men killed and wounded. On the 16th we attacked and took the magazine. I went with the column. We took them by surprise, and they offered very little resistance ; but in the afternoon they returned and attacked the magazine, and set the roof on fire. We had to get up on the roef with leathern bags of water and put it out, while they threw large stones at us. Thsy were fanatics, I afterwards heard. I think that day I had the narrowest escape of any. After putting out part of the fire I was just jumping down, when three of them put their heads over the wall and took three deliberate shots at me, all of which missed me. They could not have been above ten yards off ; I fired my revolver at oue, but don't know whether it hit him or not. A sergeant of Ar tillery then got on the top of the Artillery magazine with 10-inch shells in his h an d ; h e li g ht e the fuse and dropped them on their heads ; five or six he let off in this way. It must have killed a great many, for they fled almost directly. On the 20th, after our pouring into it a tremendous fire of shell, we attacked the Palace. There were very few Sepoys found in it. They had all fled during the night. " Thank God it is all over ; I am sick of blood shed and seeing men killed. I never felt so much seeing an European killed as a poor pri vate of her Majesty's 61st. I was in the maga,- ne with him, making some loophol es o f sand b ears. He asked me to take a shot at the Sepoys outside with his rifle, and he was looking through the loophole to see the shot when a bullet came e through and killed Lim by my side. Lieut.

The Hamburg ship La Rochelle, which was off Falmouth on Monday, reports that in lat. 7 N., long. 24.48 W., she spoke the steamship Hydaspes, from London for the East Indies. The troops (ar tillery) were all well at that period, and were three and a half days from St. Vincent's. She also re ports Oct. 10, lat. 10.24 N., long. 23.48 W., steam troopship Italian, from Cork for Bombay, having on board 201 men of the 18th and 26th Foot. The Hydaspes left Woolwich Sept. 17, and the Italian left Cork Sept. 25. Yesterday a draught, comprising about 120 men, left Colchester camp to join their respective regi ments in India. They comprised 60 men of the 2d battalion Rifle Brigade, 30 men 3d battalion Rifle Brigade, 15 of the Ist battalion of 60th Rifles, and 16 men of the 54th Foot. The men, who were ac companied by one sergeant and two corporals, and under the command of Capt. Maguire, of the 60th Rifles, embarked the same day on board the clipper transport George Marshall, lying off Graves end, and bound fur Bombay. Owing to the crowded state of the camp, and the inability of the rifle instructors at the branch camp at Clacton to prepare a sufficient number of men for active ser vice abroad, upwards of 200 meat have been re moved to Harwich and Languard Fort, where a staff will be temporarily kept to relieve the Artil lery under orders for India, and alms fur the pur pose of assisting to train the young recruits, who now form an important part of the camp, in the use of the rifle. Major-General Lawrence having , returned to Aldershott, the command has been as sumed by Lieut.-Col. Dixon. Large numbers of recruits continue to corns into the camp, which may now be said to be in a satisfactory condition. Owing to the great increase in the strength of Chatham garrison, consequent on the large arrivals of recruits for the purpose of joining tue various Indian depots attached to the provisional batta lions, the authorities are making arrangements for the embarkation during the ensuing month of about 1,000 troops, with a proportionate number of officers from the following In dian depot companies quartered at Chatham garrison—viz., 7th (Fusiliers), Bth (the King's) 10th, 18th (Royal Irish), 19th, 20th, 23d (Royal Welsh Fusiliers, 24th, 27th (Enniskillens, 29th, 32d, 35th, 43d (Light Infantry) 51st (Light In fantry) 52d (Light Infantry), 53d, 61st, 64th, 70th, 75th, 81st, 82d, 83d, 84th, 86th, 87th (Royal Irish Fusiiers), 90th (Light Infantry), 94th, and 98th Regiments. Great activity prevails in the garrison in bringing the men forward for embarkation, and about 200 troops are daily undergoing instruc'ion in the use of the Mini© rifle. The Union Screw Steamship Company's mail packet, Norman, Captain Boxer, left Plymouth on Sunday for the Cape of Good Hope. The paddlewheel steamship Scourge, 6, Commo dore John Adams, arrived at Plymouth on Mon day from Portsmouth. The Rev. C. A. A. Craven, M.A., has been sta. tioned at Chatham as Assistant-Chaplain to the Forces. STATE OF TRADE. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Nov. 17. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Edwin Collins, footman, was charged with having barglariously stolen a large quantity of silver plate, the property of his master, Defries, of Fitzroy-square. Two persons are already in custody and under remand on the same charge. Police-constable Lambert, E 68, said, in conse quence of information he received he went to Wokingham, where the prisoner, who had been in the service of Mr. Defries, was living with his father. On seeing the prisoner he told him he was a police-constable and must apprehend him for robbing his late master of a quantity of plate. The prisoner, without any promise or threat, volunta rily said, he would not deny the robbery and would t - ll him all about it presently. The prisoner asked him if he had seen a man named Sullivan recently. He said he had, and added that Sullivan was now in custody. The prisoner then stated that Sul livan had one-half of the plate and he had the other. The prisoner mentioned that he also had a topcoat belonging to Mr. Defries. As they were coming to the train be asked the prisoner when he had seen Sullivan last. The prisoner said he had not seen him since the morning of the robbery, an d that was in Marylebone-lane, where he was taking the plate to dispose of to a person there. At this stage of the proceedings Mr. Berries inti mated that he had an important communication to make to the Court. Mr. Beadon took Mr. Defries into his private room, and after a short conference, the prisoner WA3 remanded until the day fixed for the further exami nation of the other prisoners. they had pearls, red stones, and such like in them. (Two pa3te diamonds were here produced and shown to witness.) No, these are not those I saw ; they were larger and much better cut than these. (A. Brussels lace shawl was hero shown tc , witness, and which was sworn to at the last examination as the property of Lady Ellesmere). After the last examination Mrs. Jackson told me she should want me to come here and state that I had seen this shawl in her possession five years ago, but I told her I could not do so, for I had not seen it at all. WESTMINSTER.—John Usher, a private in the Grenadier Guards, was charged on Monday with the following outrage. Mary Ann Watldns, an unfortunate woman, liv ing in Cottage-court, Orchard-street, Westminster, stated that on the previous night, between 12 and 1 o'clock, she was in bed, and upon bearing loud and long continued screaming from the room beneath she went downstairs to the door of the room whence the cries proceeded, and was standing there when the accused opened the door and struck her a des perate blow in the mouth, which knocked her down and rendered her insensible. No words had been exchanged bet ween them, nor had she given the de fendant any provocation. Jane Morgan, another woman, corroborated this statement. Sergeant Evans—On discovering her ladyship's lace veil at the prisoner's house, in a chest of drawers in the bed-room, the female prisoner sai dit belonged to her before her marriage, and had been given her by her mother. The black lace shawl, since sworn to, I discovered in a box, with some man's clothes, which she said were her husband's. That the female prisoner said she had from a woman who lived with her sister in the Elampstead-road. The drab dress, also now produced and sworn to, she claimed as one of her own, and said she had had it cut up that it might make frocks for the children. The female prisoner, who was constantly in tears, is near her confinement, and was therefore allowed a seat. She denied this partlof the officer's state ment, and Mr. Lewis, who cited numerous cases, contended that she could not be sent for trial, as the husband alone, if either of them, was answer able for the offence. _ Mr. D'Eyncourt thought differently; the evi dence certainly now pressed closer upon the wo man, and he should increase her bail to two sure tie3 in 501. each. Eliza Clayton, another woman of the same un fortunate class, said that she was drinking at the King's Head, Orchard-street, on the previous even ing, and saw the defendant there. When she left she found the defendant following her, and he rushed after her into her own room, and treated her in the most atrocious and disgraceful manner. She screamed repeatedly whenever she was able, but he put his hand upon her mouth at different times and prevented her making any noise. She struggled and resisted as long as she was able, but be at length got the better of her. He kicked and beat her in the most shock ing way, as it would be proved if her body was examined, and she now produced her dress, which was torn to pieces, to show the violence of the struggle which had taken place. Mr. Arnold inquired whether he understood rightly that all had occurred against the will and consent. Sergeant Evans opposed the man's being liberated upon bail, as there was a vast amount of property still, unrecovered, and if he were free the police would have but small chance of recovering it. The magistrate, however, increased Jackson's bail to four in 501. each, which he could not find, and he was therefore yesterday brought up in custody, the wife surrendering to her bail. _ _ Sergeant Evsns, after a conference with the Bench, now said, —I must apply, sir, for another remand, as I have most important evidence to pro duce, and if I produce it now I should entirely frustrate the ends of justice. I may also state that since the last examination I have been to the pri son at the request of Jackson, and he then told me that as he had a wife and children he wanted to look after them, and he acknowledged that the stolen box had baen brought to his house at night time. Mr. Lewis—l object to any private communica tion being made to the magistrate by the officer. We ought to know what it is. Mr. D'Eyncourt—ln consequence .of what has now come to my knowledge I shall refuse any bail for the male prisoner at all. The wife's bail may be extended to the next examination. The reply of the woman indicated that it was not only so, but was attended by circumstances that heightened the nature of the offence. Thomas West, 53 B, said that at 1 o'clock that morning he heard screams of " Murder " and "Police" from Cottage-court, and on proceeding there the defendant was pointed out to him as a person who had committed a violent assault. He found the first woman, Watkins, lying in the pas sage insensible, with her mouth severely cut and a large pool of blood on the floor in front of her. He sent defendant to the station, and conveyed her to the hospital. In answer to questions from the magistrate, wit ness said that the defendant was a little under the influence of liquor, but well knew what he was about. The woman Clayton was intoxicated ; the other was not. He examined Clayton's room, which bore every appearance of a severe struggle having taken place there. One end of the bedstead was down on the ground, and the place was in great disorder, as was also Clayton's dress. Many per sons were round the door of the house, attracted by the woman Clayton's screams. _ The female prisoner's bail was therefore again ac cepted, and the was liberated, while her husband was again locked up. SOUTHWARK.—Chas. Nash, a young man of respectable appearance, was charged with embezzling the sum of 8/. 12s. 7d., the money of his employers, Messrs. Hepburn and Co., tanners and fellmongers, Long-lane, Bermondsey, aid sentenced to 6 months' hard labour in the House of Correction. Two very fine-looking coloured girls, about 18 or 20 years old, were brought before Mr. Bur cham for further examination, charged with beg ging in the public streets. The prisoners, who were well conducted, and apparently of good education, were seen on Satur day evening walking along the side of the kerb in Blackman-street, dressed in white. One of them carried a box, and the other a placard on which was written " Fugitive Slaves." 85 M, seeing several persons put copper money into their box, took them into custody for begging, and when before Mr. Coombe on Saturday evening they were remanded until to-day, in order that inquiries might be made about them. One of the witnesses said that the screams were heard for nearly an hour. Mr. Arnold remanded the accused until Satur day, and directed the police to make the fullest in quiry into the matter. WORSHIP-STREET.—Edward Jackson, an oil and colourman in Leonard-street, Shoreditch, and Anne Jackson, his wife, were charged ou re-exami nation before kr. D'Eyncourt with boing found in felonious possession of numerous valuable articles of wearing apparel, the property of the Countess of Ellesmere, acid stolen, with a portmanteau con taining jewellery and other property to the aggregate amount of about 15,0001., from herladyship's travel ling carriage, during her progress from Cleveland squ tre, St. James's, to Windsor, on a visit to her Majesty. _ _ _ TLe elder prisoner, an intelligent and good-look ing woman, said they were fugitives from Ken tucky. They were born and brought up on a plan tation, and about 12 months ago their father died. Their mother was sold to another distant planter, and they were about to be parted and sold also, when they succeeded in getting away to Phila delphia. There they were taken care of by a bene volent person, and through the kindness of some free coloured persons there their passage was paid to Greenock, where they arrived last spring. They tried to get into domestic service, but being unable to obtain situa•icns there, they made their way to London. Here they were equally unfortunate, and at the present time without the means of subsist ence. They had. lived lately along with a labourer and his wife named Flynn in a court in Bishops gate-street, and gained a few pence by selling tracts. Mr. Burcham asked whether inquiries had been made as to the truth of their story. The constable replied that they had, and he had reason to believe it was true. There have been five remands of this case in the whole, such difficulties have the officers experi enced in tracing the stolen properly and the pri soners' conneetion with it. The first three, which have already been published, were occupied with the production of what stolen articles have as yet been discovered and their identification by Lady Ellesmere's servants and tradesmen, and it now re mains to prove the male prisoner's reception of the stolen property, his solicitor, Mr. Lewis, being in structed to deny that he had the slightest personal knowledge of it. When Jackson was taken he was feund in possession of a large package of new ribands and neckties, suspected by the officers to form part of the produce of another robbery in the city, and for which Jackson accounted by stating that they had been intrusted to him for sale by a man named Woodford, at Bethnal-green, but where Woodford resided, or what Woodford was, he professed not to know. The police therefore stet to work to trace Woodford, if possible, and Sergeant Evans, who had the conduct of the case, stated—l have since made persevering inquiries after this man Woodford, who is alleged by the male prisoner to have given him this part of the property, and find that Woodford is now undergoing 12 months' imprisonment for receiving stolen goods, he being by trade a clockmaker. I shall now prove the stealing of her ladyship's travelling case by calling Chas. Freud—l am now driver of a Hansom cab, but on the 22d Jan., 1856, when this robbery was committed, was driving the four-wheeled cab No. 10,932. I was on the Davies-street stand, nearer to wards Grosvenor-square, when a young man came up and asked my charge for taking him and a box to Willow-walk, Shoreditch. I thought 3s. would do, to which he agreed, I drove to the church, where another man stood with a large box. I offered a hand to put the box on the roof, but the first man said " No, no, inside;" and it was got inside. The box was 601 b. to 8;)1b. in weight, black, like a lady's box, with a flat top, and would just go iu the cab-door. The box now produced by the police I believe to be the same. One man shook hands with the other and went away, and the other man on reaching Finsbury-square told me to go down Leonard-street and pull up at a beershop in Leonard-square and h tve some beer. I did so, and the man who rode with me then got the trunk out on to his shoulder, went down Leonard-street with it, and then (Tossed. over. It is so long since I don't think I could recognize that man now, and I don't think I have seen the male prisoner before. I suspected some thing wrong when I took the man up, but he offered to stand beer, and I then did not. Directly I heard of the robbery I gave information to the police, de scribing the box as two feet wide and three feet long, and I saw the same box direotly after it was found. Thomas Geary—l live in Antelope-gardens, near Leonard-street, and found this box between 7 and 8 in the morning in a garden near my house, with its lock broken and two of the buckles fastened, and but a short distance from the house of the pri soner. Eliza Parsons, a widow—l, have washed for Mrs. Jackson and seen some very expensive articles in her posses-ion, such as handkerchiefs with lace on them. I think I have seen this one now shown me, and also one with a much deeper lace. I have seen them from a year to 18 months back. (A frock was handed to witness.) I have seen this often ; it was made about a twelvemonth ago for Mrs. Jackson's baby. Sergeant Evans—This foul's part of a dress which was sworn to by the Countess's servants at the last exhminztion. Perhapz, sir, you will ask her if she ever saw any diamonds ? Witness—Yes, I have seen Mrs. Jackson with two diamonds ; she showed them to me ; tbey were like a button, very splendid, and had a point up wards. She told me a gent!eman had sent them to her from Australia. Inspector Urccknell—Willyou ask her, sir, about a teakettle 1 Witness—When her husband bad been taken by the police about a tub of butter, Mrs. Jackson asked me to take care of the teakettle. Tn the kettle were two watches and a lot of rings and other things, and Lome silver spoons. A little long jewel-box was also given me In.sicle the kettle. It was a bright copper kettle. I was accused, as I was told by a neighbour, of keeping back one of the rings when I returned the thiugs. There were lots of rings in the kettle. I don't know if they were valuable, but Two officers of the Mendieity Society, who were in attendance, also informed his Worsh►p that they wore not known as beggars. Mr. Burcham asked them what they were able to do for a living. The elder girl replied that they were both do mestic servants, but people objected to them in such situations in this country owing to their colour. They were, however, able to knit gloves. Mr. Burcham told thorn that knittinff gloves would be much better than begging, which was not allowed in this country. He would advise them to knit some and sell them. The cold weather wai coming, and no doubt they would get a ready sale for them. _ They expressed their willingness to do so, pro vided they bad the means to obtain the wool. Mr. Burcham told them if their story was true there was some cominisseration for them, and he did not think they were actual beggars. As they seemed willing to obtain their livelihood by their own labour, h . e would assist them in pur chasing wool. A shilling was found on them, and he should direct 4s. to be added t o it f rom t h e poor box, and be hoped with that they would be able to earn their own subsistence. He earnestly exhorted them not to be led away by bad. women, and avoid the streets of London. The poor girls, who listened attentively to his Worship, promised to comply, and thanked him earnestly fur the assistance he had so kindly ren dered them in a strange country. They thought they should ba able to gain a good living by glove making.

R - EALT.II 01 LONDON DURING TEE WELL • (From the Report of the Registrar General.) In the week that ended on Saturday (Nov. 14) the total number of deaths registered in London was I,lGl i which approximates very closely to the number in the previous week. In the ten years 1847-56, the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,068 ; and in the , present population, which has received an increase, the same rate of mortality would produce 1,17 5 deaths. The difference, therefore, between the actual number of deaths and the number as esti mated is inconsiderable. But the returns show that there has been a decided increase of deaths in the last two weeks ;for the weekly number in October was only about thousand. Old persons appear to have suffered from the weather that has lately prevailed ; for, ' whereas in the last week of October the number of persons who died b tween the ages of 60 and 80 years was 152, last week it was 207 ; and though of those who had attained the age of 80 years and upwards there were in the former period only 3 2 death?, the number last week was 50. Diseases of the respiratory organs (exclusive of phthisis and hooping cough), which in August were fatal in 70 or 80 cases weekly, and in the last week of October, in 190 cases, rose last week to 291. Of the number last mentioned, 152 deaths were referred to bron chitis ; 108 to pneumonia, or inflammation of the lungs ;19 to asthma. At this time when influenza is common, only six cases are returned under this specific designation in the medical certificates. Phthisis attests to some extent the presence of the same atmospheric influence, the deaths under this head having risen from about 130 to 151. There were only 19 deaths last week from diarrhoea ; and it is satisfactory to find that no deaths from cho lera were reported. Scarlatina is prevalent in the west districts, and in that part of London it Was fatal in 22 cases ; the number returned in all the metropolitan districts is 56. Typhus (including under this head common fever) carried off 54 per' sons. Five nonagenarians are returned as having died in the week ; the oldest of these had arrived at the great age of 99 years ; he had been formerly a far mer, and he died at 3, Brewer-street North, Cler kenwell. Last week the births of 907 boys and 830 girls/ in all 1,737 children, were registered in London. In the tan corresponding weeks of the year 1847 to 1856 the average number was 1445. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 30.341 in. The mean daily barometrical reading rose above 3 . 0 in. on the 7tu instant, and continued above It through the whole of last week. The mean reading on Thursday was 39.599 in. The highest reading in the week occurred on that day, and was 30. 61 in. The mean temperature of the week was 45.1 deg' which is 11 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The smallest range of temperature occurred on Tiie 3 ' day, and .was 5.1 deg. ; the greatest on Thursditio when it was 17.2 deg. On the latter day the Cher' mometer fell 2 degrees below the freezing point Pi water. The mean daily range of temperature 111 the week was 10.3 deg. The mean dew point tea" perature was 44.2 deg. ; and the difference betvioell this and the mean temperature of the air was only 0.9 deg. On four days the humidity of the atinnv phere was 99, complete saturation being rePre" seated by 100. The temperature of the water 01 the Thames fell daily during the week. On Sunda); and Monday the highest temperature was 6 4e7 deg. ; the lowest occurred on Saturday, and vr 99 48.2 deg. The wind was almost always in tb° north or north-east. No rain fell to an amours measurable by the guage. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.
